it's twin carb

wow, this is a really informative thread! I just had a question though... I've got an '85 33 and when I turn the key (but don't start the engine) the fuel pump is really noisy. Is it supposed to be wo ...

Hi Matthew, sorry i didn't mean i had one to sell... i was just offering advice on the parts interchangeability based on experience!

thanks Graham, I'll try looking to see what has happened to the ...

thanks heaps! i will try that. I'm pretty sure it's not the short trips because although I usually do about 20-30min trips when I have done longer ones (eg, a long roadtrip around the state during da ...

this was me by the way... i must've forgotten to log in.

we got the steering wheel off a sprint, cos our wheel was loose and the round metal plate thing that it was bolted on to started to crack and fall out. We got the parts off a sprint, but now the indic ...

oh dear. hope the alfa isnt too damaged. when i was a teenager we fitted 10 of us in a 1980's toyota corolla hatchback. didn't seem to do too much damage... but then again who would notice in a car li ...

beautiful! I love it when ppl in new cars try to drag alfa's off. The bogans here get such a surprise when you roar ahead of them in a 15-20 year old car.

it was good for a laugh anyway! I wish cars were that easy to fix up too. well, i know that photoshop re-touching isn't always easy too... but it doesn't cost as much money as real life hey. It's pret ...

in australia, sometimes people rip out the thermostat and stick in a cheaper one. Problem is, sometimes they work too well. We had problems cos the previous owner ripped it all out and put in a holden ...

oh yes, sounds familiar! I had this problem for about a year... a mate thought it was the starter so they changed it over for a new one from a sprint, but that didn't fix it. We then took it to the au ...

re the black spots - i'm not sure. I'll check whether they go away after a long run. That's been happening for ages though - at least a couple of years I think, the first time i noticed it was when it ...

i'm pretty sure it is running too rich - it spits out fine black spots out the exhaust. I also noticed that it is slower than usual to return to idle speed - it's like the rev's are lingering when I g ...

thanks guys, i'll check it out

so I gather that 6 kms per litre is pretty bad then? That's weird, cos I've just had it tuned and it hasn't changed. I'm pretty sure its not the way i'm driving. Is it possible to have a leak in the f ...

lol, yeah after a while i was thinking in that bloody trainspotting accent! (and i'm from australia)

I'm not sure if it's the car, or my shrinking budget but I swear it's going through fuel faster than it used to. I measured it the last time I filled up and I'm getting 6 k's per litre (she's an 85 33 ...

i opened up the oil cap the other day and everything was kind of foamy in there. i'm guessing this is a bad sign... any advice?

no, i don't have an arna... it comes up to your name when you don't have very many posts. i have a 33

I really dont have any idea about how it was done, but i have a friend who has a 1.7 bored out to a 1.8 - it seems to go pretty well.

yeah, same in tassie... unless your rego expires. All you have to do each year is pay them some money and you automatically get your new rego.

Hi everyone,
thanks for you suggestions. turns out that i had to take off the entire dash to undo some bolts which holds the part of the heater with fan in it. Then i would have to disconnect the ai ...

Any tassie alfa owners out there?

the title kinda says it all really... I have an '85 33 and when you switch the heater fan onto the first setting it does nothing, when you put it on the second setting it makes a horrible screaming no ...
