Is that yours?
Why can't you track it often?

That’s mine (and me) on the Streets of Willow, CA, a very demanding track for the car and its brakes, less than 2 weeks ago and just after completing this upgrade:
http://www.400gt.com/vlg/jalpa_docs/laust_index.htm
I am very happy to say that nothing broke and all worked as intended, except for the electric water pump, which has too low a capacity, so the car could do no more than 4-5 laps at a time, before the engine got too hot.

Contrary to complaints I have seen, my stock brakes worked very well and after 4 laps the rotors had a very respectable max temperature of 250ºC (rims about 60ºC). My only minor complaints about the brakes are a moderately high pedal pressure during daily driving and the fact that they currently squeal during mild braking.

Things do break more often on the track and I am quite sure the repairs would be more expensive than for my track dedicated Porsche 944 turbo.

interesting conversion Laust... What kind of power do you expect her to make?

I had mine out at autobahn country club in Joliet, Illinois. It did fairly well but the gear on the external oil pump broke leading to a couple other issues and a couple thousand dollars in repairs. So they can be tracked if your wallet can handle it....... I'll be staying off of the track from now on with the Jalpa.

The Jalpa is definitely not for the track, I drive circles with my 944 Turbo around the little bull...

On my car water temperature is not issue but the oil, it raises to 140 degrees, I remarked a gap between the inlet and the shield which leads the air onto the oil cooler.
I try to reweld it a little bit on weekend to use the entire air flow.

I was referring to this:

Went to see the car last weekend, and see if I could fit inside...
Legroom was no problem, but headroom, I only have about 2cm(1inch) left... Guess I'll have to run without the roof a lot

The car is very very clean, no rust, good paint, pristine engine...

It does indeed have the Ansa exhaust, and the larger BBS wheels fill up the rear arches nicely... It sits on Pirelli P7 285/50/15 rubber...

Given Belgian legislation on cars, I would need to present the car with the original tyre size (225?)
Obviously, with those BBS wheels, I cannot put 225 rubber on it, so does anyone know which wheels also fit ? I heard BMW wheels should fit... Is that true?
Can someone give me the measurements of the original wheels, including ET value...

I'm now talking to the owner to see if we can come to an agreement to get the car

I have a complete set of original Jalpa rims if you are interested...
Just for showing them it's not necessary to balance them
