What have you done already to reduce weight ?

Strip your 33 fully and than put back only parts realy needed for the use of your car..

Hi alfaqv33

i think your numbers are wrong 650kg, as my series 2 weighs about 920kgs. where as series 3 is about 1000kg ish. the race 33's weigh about 750kg from memory. if you are right then you have a very fast 33 nice!

regards john

650kg ??
Underweight can be a disadvantage on the track, you need enough weight to have some pressure on the front and rear of the car to have some grip on the track..

How about the weight balance, is it in the middle of the car already ?

Less weight can be good for top speed, But the Perfect Weight Balance IS even better for an even faster car

ja lon, zal het even in het jort uitleggen hoe het precies zit.
Ik heb een tijdje geleden met iemand gemaild die carbon motorkappen maakte, maar ben zijn adres kwijt. Ik heb wel intresse erin, en ook iemand die met een 33 raced heeft intresse. Die auto weegt 650, en niet de mijne. Mijn motorkap vind ik lelijk door wat deukjes en steenslag, dus als ik hem vervang wil ik het gelijk goed doen.

Sorry guys, this story is only an interpretation for lon and he is also a dutch man a guess. And my english is so bad that a translation isn't also readable (is that correct english??)

I found on this pages stuf for the type 2 33, but i'm looking for stuff for the type 3. I had contact with a guy who made carbon hoods, but i lost his adres.
