Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

Had a look under the car today, as it made some noise from the left side last race, and there i was: The side engine mount had come off and swinged into the inner cross of the axel. But think I have made a workable solution with a new adjutable "arm" from a wire tension (of a sail boat), a...

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

A short update for this season so far: - Avon tires sucks....!! Way to soft, so back to Toyo. Attached you can see how my left front tires looks after 2 races and 1 qualification. Good thing I checked the wheel nuts before race three - to bad it was only 5min left to start, but found a friend with a...

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

The front shock was an easy fix, it was just the mounting plates on the foot that broke off, so new foot was ordered. The internal parts was ok

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

Bearing sortet out (the new was right, the old total waste), Avon tires on the car, engine in, new exhaust manifold in place, but engine still have the same lack of power as last race... It runs eighter to lean or rich, it's a bit more noise (ratt-ta-ta-ta) and small "poff" even at steady ...

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

Ok, will try to sort out the bearing issue within short....

In the meantime I need to order new tires. Have been using Toyo R888 the past two years, but is there other experiences with other brands in here? This is the list of approved tires: http://www.corsaitaliana.no/om-corsa-it ... -dekkliste

Slow progress due to new house and moving, but made a trip to the car yesterday and mountet the engine. But, as usual a new challange when checking the left hub and wheelbearing.

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

MS3 ordered, but New question - engine mounts:

My engine mounts are "sloppy", so the engine moves a lot when rewing. Is new monunts the answer, or have anyone made another solution for this...?

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

From cockpit I feel the engine is missing 10-20% power from 4000 rpm and up. It feels slower and not that responsive as it did earlier this summer. The start was ok, so 1st and 2nd gear worked, but from 3rd and up it strugles. Don't know if it's low fuel pressure, a valve gone bad, exhaust leak or s...

Here is video from race 9, and you can see the difference in speed. A good start from 9th place on the start grid, up to 2nd for a few seconds in turn two, and then down to 4th when the others find their direction again. The 75 have turbo, the Sud carburetors, and the 156 you can see in the drivers ...

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

When buying the gearbox, it "was" a 1.2 but based on experience - it's not. It's to close to the original 1.7, but as mentioned there is some difference. My fear is that a 1.2 is running out of gears on the high speed track. Today I shift to 5th 100-200m before the end, so it might be enou...

Re: From Road car to Race car - Alfa 33

Are you revving out on the bigger circuit, or finding the car will not pull up to the rev ceiling on the biggest straights? I'm thinking back to the point Bryan made earlier, that exiting onto the straights quicker, with the use of an LSD, would change things significantly, but how does your car su...
