Try removing them.

try disconnecting 3 spark plug leads should reduce the wheelspin down to a small chirp, might start sounding like a Daihatsu Handivan as a result

Send it up to me and I'll have a look at it for you, though be warned, I may have it for a while as sometimes these things take years to sort properly

try using a low diff ratio what diff ratio you using?

Maybe enter it into standard class, you will have so many protests you won't get to drive it again.....thereby eliminating the wheelspin.

It looks like the twin of a '1600' Spider that was for sale on the Alfaholics website

Maybe it had wheelspin trouble too ?

Wheelspin is like understeer both can be cured by going slower.
