Re: Alfasud S3 Wiper Arm
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)

Re: 2 Racers for sale
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...

Alfasud S3 Wiper Arm
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

Re: Alfasud 16v Dyno Day
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...

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?

Re: Alfasud 16v Dyno Day
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...

Re: Alfasud 16v Dyno Day
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.

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.

Re: Alfasud 16v Dyno Day
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.

Re: Too many projects... again!
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.

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.

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!
