How about if the bottom happens to hit the ground, does it wreck the whole car, or just leave a mark, and the car keeps on going?
I was thinking of rally, since I'm not sure whether am I going to like touring, since there are not so many places to drive.

How did the Alpine do back in the old days? Was it a competitor for Alfa & BMW?

For the motor I was thinking Ez-run 4000kv, on 2s or 3s.
I wouldn't want to make it a missile on the first runs, i can upgrade if the ~20-30mph isn't enough
How about the weak links, not so plastic axle cups are a must? anything else?

The rivalry back then (ETCC) was mainly Alfa, BMW, and Ford (capri i think) in division 2. The 911T (4 cyl) may have been in there as well.

The center front plastic drive cup is a weak link. I would replace it with an Exotek alloy one. The orange front lower inner pin holder can bend if the front tires/suspension get hit. I would double it up.

If you have the nut that's on the bottom set flush to the end of the screw you should not have problems with limited suspension travel though it does look like there's very little freedom of movement. This rod is acts as a steering knuckle stopper only. You can use a shorter threaded screw and nut so it doesn't pass through both upper and lower arms. There's a couple of pics on this thread. Look for MikeR's posts.
Yes, on my CR the Z661 nut is flush with the Z419 screw. Suspension arm travel is very stiff and less than 5mm. I couldn't find MikeR's posts ?
ps here's a pic taken in the ACT back in the 70's...it's for Alfa Milano fans...the car is my fathers and is a 58 build 4 with 5 speed, twin cam, twin Solex double barrel 48mm carbs...paint is white with red interior...instrument cluster has a ton of elegantly placed gauges and switches...from memory olio temp and pressure, batt volt, benzene, aqua temp, tach and the mandatory speedo...drum brakes as disc came out in 59...very few were made...something like less than 2000...body was designed by the late Pininfarina...oh yeah...nearly forgot to tell it's a removable hardtop as well.
