1990 33 1.7 16v Green Cloverleaf. Think that's what it says on the log book. Bought it a few years back from a Alfa specialist who bought it of a guy who used it for track days. I made it road legal. Dreaded rust put it off the road.

Current state of affairs.

Both these panels available on ebay uk at the moment

I've searched, I've only found 1 from Portugal which is SH and the shipping is extortionate

Sud or 33 ?

When you say slam panel, do you mean the flat section above the radiator across the front inner wings ?

I think I have a used but good straight sud one.

Sorry I meant 33. The panel that the headlights sit in and the panel that the rad sits on.

Found 1, took me a while. Gonna cost me £210 with the bottom radiator panel

smiffy, what body panels do you need?

Really looking for an S3 front smash panel/slam panel. Not one that's all twisted up really. The sills ill just repair where needed tbh.

Wow

Where does everyone get bodypanels from or do you just make your own bits to cut out the rust?

One of the best mods i have done

This sounds interesting. What model please?

Brill thanks guys. Makes things easier.

Cheers guys I'll definitely do the steering rack then. Yep the dizzy is just an empty housing with a rotor arm. I'll search for the Greek guy lol. It's got an equal length manifold on at the moment but it's a bit fooked so will get it replaced. Regarding the shocks I dont know if they've been re val...

Just a few questions probably been asked before. Want to get rid of the power steering and go to unassisted. Did any of the earlier 33 or sud have unassisted racks? The engine is 1.7 16v motronic, love the sound of carbs and the look af the engine bay with carbs in there. Now the question is can I j...

Flywheels can be lightened, I’m not an expert in doing it, what spec is the engine going to be, high revs etc ? There may be a trade between too light and too heavy . Mine has a standard flywheel lightened, and a paddle clutch, I think helix. The clutch is either on or off, not much in between. It ...

That all looks very familiar. My sprint is similarly dismantled although that’s to treat rust in the engine bay. Yuk You must be aware of goodies like these if you’ve a racing 33. http://www.ahmotorsports.co.uk/product/steel-race-flywheel-and-184-single-or-twin-plate-clutch/ Oh yeah I've made a big...

So finally I have taken the engine out. Clutch and bearing are knackered so will be looking to replace those.
Can anything be done to flywheel? Lightened etc. And any optional clutches?

Finally after years of half hearty searching for a workshop I've finally moved the 33 In. So I'll be on here pestering you guys and extracting your knowledge. First thing will be a massive strip down. Of the 33 ; )

Might do a rebuild thread/blog

These say they fit a 33 is this true.
Ta

I'm starting to approximately price things up now, the omex stuff is pretty simple really and then just shop around for the cheapest price. Where do I get the trumpets and socks from? And is it best to just to get any 8v flywheel and have it skimmed and stuff or just how it is?

Hahaha loose 2nd quicker than normal. That's the other thing I've need to sort out. Any other boxes worth getting? Or are they all the same.
Yeah I saw the loom expensive but looks worth it. Plug n play near enough. Getting exciting

Can I use all my old stuff eg water temp sensor throttle postion sensor etc. I currently running it without cam sensors and a lambda sensor will I have to have these re connected?
Ta sorry for all the questions

Launch control?? Can I have that on it. I know it's says a load of other stuff but launch control would be good.

What else do I need apart from the omex 600?
Coil pack? And what do I do with the dizzy?

I'm quite liking the injection with the trumpets tbh. If it's about the same cost etc also it's a bit more different off the wall just like me

Wow that's an interesting setup and more to think about. So the new ecu wouldn't need a maf of any kind.

Might just do that

Me again can someone do me a list of what stuff I need to source for a carb conversion pretty please. What ecu to use and do I need to change the dizzy cap and things like that.
Thanks very much

Decided to go with a carb set up so I need to start a shopping/wish list.
Thanks for all the replies guys
There will be loads more questions I'm sure

Wow nice replies. I think I had a price of you for the carb setup I'll have a look. Sound nice too a set of carbs. I have recently aquired a 166 3.0 super which has the 4 pot brembos. So I have the brakes. The suspension is low and stiff and handles well if not a bit skittish on rear end. Good info ...
