Alfa Pages

As an ex-33 owner, I also payed a visit to Chatham to get my jab of the Alfa virus. There was a rather nice 1.7 16v P4 loaded with parts, who's car was that? Also, loved the various Sprints and Suds p ...

You are all such a bunch on soppy gits Razz

Don't worry, Steedee won't be far away.... once you have owned a 33 you can't leave the community.

Mine was sold over a year ago and I miss it dearly. I ...

Nice one! How I miss my 33...

Looks like it has had a good history of owners, well done for finding this one.

Pardon my ignorance Rees but what do you mean by CO? Confused

Carbon Monoxide? Changeover? I cannot guess.

I think he means Carbon Monoxide, as in the product of fuel which has not undergone complete c ...

I'll be there too. No 33 to go in though as it was sold a while ago. Might turn up in a 1.8 Alfa 75 though. I miss the boxer experience - haven't driven a 33 in months now. But I have to say that I ha ...

A supermarket trolley takes a coin, whereas you can get any blonde for free?? Embarassed

I think the official answer (according to google Wink

Funny thing is that our 33 1.3 IEL warms up really quickly - but for the first few seconds when it is cold, it drives very roughly. Zenith_P says this is normal with the Weber/IAW injection system - ...

I'm going to check my hose now Shocked

I wonder how long these parts last with lowering springs installed?

Exactly the same part is used for the Alfa 164! My mechanic managed to identify that one was shot by trying to turn part of the strut assembly. With his hands, he could easily turn the strut with th ...

But these are the best wheels for any Alfasud, right? I mean, they are the original alloys! Razz

What size is it? 14 inch?

Is this is same on any Alfa 33 (non-16v) if you have lowered springs and use normal shocks? Do you then also get negative camber?

Although I can imagine the risk involved of removing springs, my mechanic made it look like the easiest job in the world. He used his own hands to compress them Wink

Then again, he probably does ...

The difference between the 155 15 inch wheels and the 33 wheels is in the centre bore. The 155 centre bore is 0.5 mm smaller in diametre, which means that they are a tight fit. Ideally, you should h ...

Same problem on our Series 3 33 - I just ignore it.

Always sad to see the crashed Alfa 33's, we see so many on this forum it scares me - thank god you only suffered a broken rib.

About the wheels, maybe it is best to find a new set, as I don't know ...

Yes Edd has loads of parts for several Italian cars - especially Alfa's. The company is called Alfatech though, I believe, but that is his current email address.

Ahh dammit I forgot to log in..... GRRRR Evil or Very Mad

To feel better I'll just go for a drive and rev her up to 6 grand.... mwhahahahah..... Twisted Evil

Damn your cool Wink

What is odd is that the standard jack does fit out 33 which has been lowered by 30 mm. Confused

On the subject of fuel supply, my 33's fuel pump started making a slight whine a few months ago (after the car had stood still for a few weeks). I mentioned it to my trusty Alfa mechanic, who suggest ...

Just make sure you don't post your email address anywhere on the internet, such as in guestbooks. This is how 'Robots' pick them up, and you get bombarded with junk.

My mum counted 8000 junk mails ...

thats from the Sirius project?

Talking about brake mods, has anybody here ever modified the pedals on the 33 for heel and toe braking? Confused

Turtle wax T-Cut (to cut back the oxidation) followed by Valma red wax (to hide small scratches and enhance colour) and finally clear wax did the trick on our 33. Mind you, it is kept inside and only ...

By a tyre fitting specialist I have been advised that the correct pressure for 195 50 R15 (on Alfa Romeo 33) should be 2.2 bar front and rear.

What kind of tyres do you use?

You have to be ...
