For the first time since before Lockdown both the ‘Sud and 33 are track ready so if the dates work we’d love to join in

Thank you all for your advice - yes these are the clip on ones, the Sprint upgrade seems to be the way to go (probably the same as our S1 33)

Adam

Thanks for the message, we are still rebuilding it due to Covid related delays with parts and the engine refresh, just the electrics to do now. I’ll post some photos of progress next week. We’ve been using our black Sud for track days this year and are looking forward to getting the 33 out next spri...

Hello

I’m in need of a wiper arm for a right hand drive Series 3 Alfasud as my old one parted company at a track day never to be seen again - it’s passenger side if that makes any difference.


Thanks

Adam

The speedo issue was resolved, the gauge end of the cable was rounded and would not drive the mechanism so I swapped it for a spare. Unfortunately the spare was rounded at the gearbox end and was binding in the sheath causing it to pull out. Its great that we can now buy original spec. parts from th...

After two years of track days we took a deep breath and stripped the car down for a refurb, The engine and gearbox are with Dave Ashford for refreshment. The shell has been strengthened with replacement of the cills, tieing in the cage throughout including extension and triangulation to the front st...

Hello Lou, I read this sad news on the Alfa Romeo Championship Facebook page this evening after my son alerted me. Nick was very helpful and kind when we went to buy the 33 and although forced to give up racing he was looking forward to continue his involvement through marshalling. My sincere condol...

Thank you Lauren.

I’ll have a practice on one of the spare gearboxes I have to perfect my technique! I can be a bit ham-fisted at times.

Adam

It’s a Sud box so it’s mechanical drive.

Thanks for the advice Junior, RS I’ll try all these things and see where I get to. If the gear is broken what’s the procedure for changing the gear drive? I know that Mr Sud has steel replacements advertised on his ebay page. If it is the case that mine is broken then I’ll give one of them a whirl, ...

Three of us drove the Sud at Castle Combe on Monday. Given that this was the first proper track shakedown since fitting the 16v engine all went well-ish. We had a part throttle misfire which cleared after a few full throttle laps and cooling problems as a result of air entrapment which we sorted. My...

Thanks RS,

I’ve spoken to Dave a couple of times when he was at Castle Combe track days with his son, A very knowledgeable man with a very good reputation. It would be interesting to run the car up on his dyno when I get the chance and following some further fettling.

Adam

Thanks for the advice. It has a Series 1 Ti gearbox (no lsd) which is perfect for the rural Wiltshire roads around my way and the track day circuits we have been on.

Thanks for the feedback Veesix.

I’ll post an update following the track day, hopefully with some video footage.

Going forward we are looking at exhaust and bigger carbs to get more at the top end.

In the meantime it’s nice to have a well set up car to trundle around in.

Adam

I went with my son to Janspeed in Salisbury on Monday to get the car set up following replacing the ancient Megajolt ignition system with a Nodiz Pro alternative. The car runs a standard 16v on Weber 40 idfs. We started off at 116bhp at the wheels and finished with 122.5 with K&N pancake filters and...

As always with this forum, top advice.
I’ve got several weeks worth of prep before we get to paint but I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks

Adam

Thanks for the recipe Lou,

I’ll start a separate thread on my winter project once I have some meaningful progress to report

Adam

Thanks for the offer Lou, that would be kind of you.

Adam

Thanks for your feedback Gary and Lou,

For the exterior will be AR 530 which is what Suds and series 1 33s were painted - for the interior I’ll go for Grigio Chiaro 612 which was a 155 colour option in 1993/1994.


Adam

Hello Gary For me It’s the Sud 16v, (I’m biased as I have one and it took me ages to finish it also) and the 155 as it is one of the most iconic cars in BTCC history. I have a question for you if you don’t mind; my son and I are refreshing our 33 racer - the ex Nick Anderson car - and we fancy copyi...

That’s great news, it’s a brilliant reference site.

I used to check the site every week for updates when it was first published.

Just registered Gary.

Thanks,

Happy New Year everyone.

I’m up for this and will probably bring the 33

The weather couldn’t be any worse than the track day we did in November...

Thanks for the kind words Mufasa The Sud’s not been used much this year as my son and I have been fettling and using the red 33 which is currently with Shrew for an exhaust but I’ll be back out track before the end of the year a couple of times. Nimble is the right word for the Sud though and it eve...

Thanks Dave

I’ll double check and report back

Adam

It’s a 1982 series 3 Sud Dave

Thanks

Adam

Could someone post the correct wiring layout for the thermostatic switch which is located in the radiator please.

I’ve clearly done something wrong with the earth because when the switch is activated the reversing light comes on!

Thanks

Adam

We took the 33 to Castle Doom again last week - can you see these videos? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2509652472381313 https://www.facebook.com/techandtyres/videos/492843541453093/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Unfortunately the exhaust ate itself mid afternoon so we are up to Shrew’s in early July to get a ...
