Proposed New Club Hat Design

It's time to make new hats for the Club. Here's a proposed design for you to comment on below or, you can vote on the right hand side of the page.

The cap is "trucker style" with a red front panel and white mesh back. Mesh for ventilation since we drive our cars in summer.

The ARCC logo is embroidered on the front panel. The embroidered Quadrifoglio logo is on the back above the closure. Alternatively, the Quad logo could be placed on the side of the hat, above the text.

The text running along the bottom edge of the hat would be embroidered in red Alfa font. The text could read: "Toronto Chapter" as some have requested, or "alfaclub.ca", or both.

Please let us know what you think...

Alfa Dave's Fuel Injection Project Plus

I am in the process of fuel injecting the Twin Spark motor I put in my spider a few years back.

I am using throttle bodies from a motorcycle and an aftermarket computer to run it. I am reusing a lot of the Alfa parts that I got with the motor as it was injected from the factory. I ran the motor on Weber carbs to start because the Alfa EFI system would not fit under the hood of a spider.

Welcome to the ARCC Toronto Chapter Blog

Greetings Fellow Alfisti,

Welcome to the Alfa Romeo Club of Canada-Toronto Chapter Blog. This is our online clubhouse: a place to share stories, information, photos, opinions and to generally provide a Forum. Forum, there's another great Italian invention.

Think of our Blog as another vehicle to engage our vehicles. Hopefully easier to maintain and with no 2nd gear grind! Our cars may be mechanical but our club is now also electronic.

In this regard, think of me as your Blog mechanic, for now anyway. No appointments, no charge, clean fingernails and with a story or photo to share now and again.
