Alfa Pages

Unfortunately I've got to sell my 33 to clear some drive space and fund my wedding / next car. Seeing as it has lasted this long in good nick, I'd love it to go to another Alfisti.

It's a totally s ...

Yup, I've got TWO Alfas running well at the moment - the 145 just sailed through its MOT.

I have fixed the final problem on the 33 - some dodgy wiring on the front interior light. I say the final p ...

My mate's decided to sell his 33. some of you might know it: series 3 1.7 ie. p4 interior, compo white 16inch alloys, lowered.

It's on ebay here:

Picked up the 33 from the garage this morning, where it was having its front nearside wheelbearing changed.

It's now running perfectly: looking good, sounding good, feeling good and going good Smile

...

The front NS wheel bearing is whining / wobbling on my 1993 33 1.7ie. I have the bearing kit and was going to throw the car at the garage but he is mega busy. I have a couple of spare evenings this we ...

MOT wasn't too bad. It needed new rear brake pipes and cylinders, two wheel bearings, some welding where the last owner had used the jacking mounts to raise the car, and new backbox and all sorts of b ...

I feel very sorry for my 33. It's obviously been very well looked after for most of its life. Then the last bloke moved abroad and his brother used it for a year without doing anything to it at all. ...

Yes! My 33 has got through its MOT and is now sat at home on the drive looking cool. Can't wait to give it a good blast Very Happy

Cheers Paddy.

Think I've found some off a 145 1.8 (195/50/15) inc bolts, which should be fine.

I want to swap the standard 14 inch alloys on my 33 for something a bit bigger (probably off a 155/145) so that I can run lower profile, and possibly wider tyres.

I also want to put stiffer springs ...

My 33 is in for pre-MOT bits at the moment. It was running WAY too rich so the emissions were way out.

Immediate thought was a gummed up air flow meter but... apparently late 33s 1.7 8 valves don't ...

Eddie - That would be standard 145 alloy size then, although IIRC i think the offset on those is 36. Right, time to go forth and find a set of 145 QV wheels. Bravo/Brava/Marea ones will be OK too.

...

cheers guys- that's a lot of help. Yes, I could buy a p4 but they cost a bit more than I paid for this 33.

i KNOW the decat makes sense - having driven cat and non-cat 33s the ones without definite ...

Good news - my 33 should get through the MOT without too much work and should be back with me at the weekend.

Now to start playing with it Twisted Evil

Its biggest problem seems to be torque steer ...

Well guys I couldn't resist. After knocking about in 145s for a couple of years, I bought a 33 again.

It's a 1993 1.7ie Turismo. Got an MOT for a week, but a quick check over it hasn't revealed too ...

Cheers Matt - having trouble making my mind up now cos there are some nice early 145s about too! I'll try and drop by Lloyd's soon.

Is the p4 running yet?

also looks like it's got an s2 interior.

I'm after a 33 r Sud- anyone have one for sale?

My first car was a 33, then I had a 145 and i'm currently driving a Renault 19 turbo diesel. It's a ludicrously economical car (and it's actualy qui ...

As always, there's a reason it's so cheap. It's got a 145 engine in it with no history, so you're looking at a cambelt change as soon as you get it at the very minimum.

ring him up and find out - h ...
