Adrian’s lightweight Giant Killer 2.0
As the heading suggests this car has always been a massive thorn in the sides of big V8s it’s had to do battle with over the years . I remember racing against its in our Trofeo series back 2007 but I needed 3.7 power to get away from it … probably mainly due to lack of driving skills but down the straights this car was very quick . The car has changed over the years and most radically over the last two years with a fantastic looking body kit made by Adrian . I think but stand to be corrected it only weights in at 820kg but I will re edit this if it’s much lighter .
Loads of features which most on FB would claim .. yeah I invented that but to be honest Autodelta covered most of this in the 70s and early 80s . As they are not arround and even if they were most people in SA could not afford these parts due to the frighteningly bad Rand currency conversion !
Nick Suiter and I were invited to see his cars and ofcourse beer and biltong ! Check out the pics of this beauty ! If anyone wants moulds etc from Adrian I am happy to pass on his details .

820Kg's???
That's INCREDIBLY light for a steel body car that isn't the size of a shoe.
Need some pics.
See the Alfaholics have made a carbon fibre body for the 105 GT Junior.

Re: Adrian’s lightweight Giant Killer 2.0
Kevin,
Congratulations for presenting this comprehensive post and please pass on my appreciation for the well thought through compilation of this Alfetta race car. I recognise many of the traits immediately
Very impressed with the weight. Best I can do without MASSIVE destruction and reconstruction is 1000kg.So well done. At the end of the day, power to weight is crucial.
I have a certain idea of what this modification is about but a clarification would be appreciated.

Transaxle Alfas Haul More Arse
Re: Adrian’s lightweight Giant Killer 2.0
Hi MD , it’s a wedge shape disc that can get rotated— apparently:)
Re: Adrian’s lightweight Giant Killer 2.0
Thanks Kevin. I am surmising that is adjustment for toe/camber but I also thought it was extending the track.
