Re: Shocks for a 88 sprint

Gaz said they did not make them. Mine is the later sprint compatible with the 33. It’s a 1988 1.7.

To be honest no idea, I believe they are the standard units. Is there an easy way to check?

Shocks for a 88 sprint

Seems like loads of confusing info out there, sites offer fronts not rears, obscure makes i've never heard of - rebuild this and that.

Can anybody clear up which new shocks (front and rear) are suitable for a late sprint, sporty adjustable or standard - and where to buy them.

Thanks

Re: Help fixing odometer

It could well be the reset button, is it a push or twist to reset? i've never tried it, guess this can be done without being connected.

Possible?

Hi,

Was looking at possibility of buying a late 33 16v with power steering to switch into my late sprint.

Came across a cheap permanent 4, would the 4 wheel drive switch over too? That might be fun!

Re: Omp group n exhaust

Wise advice. Realised mine was probably loud enough when someone two streets away came by when I was cleaning it and said how much he loved the sound of boxer Alfa’s (phew!)

Exhaust ich stopped. Power steering ich still needs sorting, but the rust appearing might put a stop to that for a while!

Re: Omp group n exhaust

This is the only pic I could find of the exhaust itself, plenty of videos but you can’t see much. Looks like it just goes straight on the standard manifold and the silencers are a lot smaller. I’ve got a full SS exhaust from a 33 that justsuds sold me (made by Pickerings apparently?) looks a bit lar...

Re: Sprint rear window mechanism

Unfortunately not heard back from Thor but managed to locate one in Portugal. Had some language issues but hopefully i’ll Receive the correct side next week.

I’ll need plenty more parts so will reach out to Thor again, better to have a closer supply and the Dutch generally speak great English.

Re: Sprint rear window mechanism

One last question, the mechanisms had some kind of spongey gasket covering half of the mech.

Should I replace this, if so any ideas with what or should I leave it off? Seems to me that it just traps water.

Re: Sprint rear window mechanism

Great, will do. On one side the bit to fit the pipe to rusted off! will need to try and fashion something out of fiber glass. Was thinking i could line the bucket and poke some through to make the pipe fitting.

Re: Sprint rear window mechanism

When I reinstall the mechanisms should I stuff the things full of grease? I’ve got some cv joint grease, would this be ok or I have a spray silicone grease.

Damn, planned on doing this myself this weekend. Thought it would be easy.

My wipers are super slow so thinking a bit of cleaning up would help.

If you come up with the magic juggle let me know!
