Just a quick reminder that it’s next Sunday at Bicester Heritage again
Was great day last year with 64 Suds and Sprints
Anyone else on here going this year ?

I am going along with a few other Sud owners from Surrey
Planning a convoy run up together

Wow - not seen a PRO1 for a while
Remember using that in my Alfa/Fiat dealer days
From what I remember it was just a big breakout box for checking the wiring instead of probing the pins at the ecu connector
Hope it helps with your diagnosis

That doesn't sound right - are you sure the lower spring pan is the right type or is it damaged ? The strut bearing should just easily fit through the hole in the lower spring pan and go through it far enough for the upper "lip" of the bearing housing to be visible so the rubber dust boot can fit on...

Did manage to get a few pictures for you 70B66F8C-1AD1-40AC-887A-C5F8F3DE13F0.jpeg 2A615C47-14FF-49AB-AB65-90CFE9E31C5F.jpeg 5A351BBD-0476-4A57-B4C6-28743D689573.jpeg 99869E23-CCA2-4A70-A656-19862D496771.jpeg B21C5A65-C48A-4443-87AA-CF031AE8D318.jpeg 990CC5D4-46B2-4B8F-911C-D6DFBA4B6ABF.jpeg It look...

That rear wing is for a very early car as it has the recess to get your finger in to open the flap From my memory only the first series 1 cars with the 1286cc engine had this I guess the flap may be different ? No idea about the rubber seal but if there are any sprints at National Alfa Day the Sunda...

Not sure that you need to disconnect the battery, I have never done this when coding new keys.
Your type of key is what I am familiar with, so that method should work fine
I left the Alfa dealer world in 1997 so never got involved with the later type of keys

From what I remember this is the procedure The only thing the makes the "Master" key be a master key is that it is the very first key ever used so that is the first one in the memory of the yellow code box and the engine ECU. To "open" the memory and allow any more keys to be coded you turn the igni...

Shame about the header tank but good initiative to paint the plastic one
I guess a fabricator could make a new bottom of your original one ?
See you on the 7th

Confirmed 45 Suds & Sprints now so still looking for a few more
Anyone else on this forum going that may not have let Ian Brookfield or Gary Walker know
Looking forward to seeing you and your car again Keith

I think the lines are cleaner without the rear wiper & washer
I also prefer the pre cloverleaf B post covers but as they are metal more difficult to find
At the end of the day it’s your car and your decision

Great work with all the fabrication, going to be one of the most solid cars around

Love the idea of getting wing rails made as well

Keep it coming

Not sure if people have seen it on Facebook but on 7th August there is a big meeting planned It’s with the National Alfa Day at Bicester Heritage Hopefully 50+ suds and sprints is the target and so I hear this should happen A few competition cars and some overseas visitors as well Spread the word an...

Don’t believe the Haynes manual !
The 35-40 intake and 45-50 is definitely correct

This is looking fantastic
Coming along at a great pace as well
Keep up with the updates when you can

Looks like you’re going to town with this project - looks great Just a word of warning after the dipping - there are alloy spacers inside the from chassis rails where the subframe bolts to and also inside the bulkhead where the steering rack bolts in Apparently the alloy can be dissolved by the acid...

Looks nice
Rare as well being a S2 Ti

Good to see you on here mate
Put some pictures of your TIx restoration on here
If you go back through the posts you will see the pictures of mine

Hi Colin
Will “ODE” be going to the Autumn Alfa day at Yorkshire wildlife park on the 14th of September? would love to see it done.
Les the guy you got it from has recently got another Sprint and is trying to get it on the road for the show

Great looking work you have done there Lucky with the condition of the suspension arms as they are prone to corrosion-the forward facing ones tend to go around where they join the rear arm-the water gets under the strengthening plates and the rear arms can corrode from the inside and could also be f...

I think the Y reg one will be back on the road again but I will be very surprised if the A reg one ever does
Even with both cars would not have a very nice interior as both were poor

Edit
I just checked how long I have had that body shell - turns out it was March 1999 !
Would be nice to see another car back on the road

I am going to view these 2 cars Wednesday Only 10 minutes away from me so got to be worth a look I do have a Greencloverleaf body shell that’s been in dry storage for about 10 years but there’s no interior trim, bumpers etc so these could be a good source if they are rotten I will let all on here kn...

Well what a great day Sunday turned out to be Weather was a little damp to start with but soon stopped and there was a fantastic turnout of Suds and a few Sprints as well There were a least 35 cars there so by far the biggest number for many years Link to pictures here https://www.aroc-uk.com/galler...

I think they may still be available for AROC members only
Are you a member ?

Event is now sold out !
Capacity is 1500 people currently but they have applied to the council for an increase

Here you go

Hi Keith
Hope you can gets yours sorted as well
I have got my tickets so I am one of the 25
Will be great to see so many cars all together
Last bit turnout we Ripon in about 2009 where I think there were 31 cars

Looks like this event should have a great turnout of Suds & Sprints
25 confirmed and hopefully more
Gary Walker is bringing his recently restored S1 TI - oldest one known in the Uk and not been seen before !
Anyone else bringing a Sud/Sprint?

Ticket booked

Event is open to non AROC members - you just need to turn up in an Alfa on the day
