Yes, seems like a wise move.

I’m not sure mine is quite good enough to justify a pristine one, it might make the rest or it look more scruffy

I’m tempted to see if I can straighten mine a bit, most of it is hidden behind the plastics anyway…

Thanks, yes I have seen that one but they don’t seem keen to post,

Approx 200 miles and an 8 hour round trip seems a bit much for a £50 bumper. Shame though.

It’s nothing important to how the car runs / drives, but would like to change it if a more reasonable option comes along.

Hi, I’m looking for a nice straight rear bumper for my s2. I don’t need the plastic cladding as mine should be ok, however mine has had a knock on one of the corners and as part of the gradual tidying up process I’d like a nicer one is possible. Also a rear screen for a booted 4 door s2 with the pla...

Hope you all have a good 22, and wish you many miles of trouble free motoring

Strange that it’s got a jts badge, they definitely did a jts in the pre facelift but I think it came quite late with the slightly updated dash and colour coded rub strips on the bumpers. My dad had 3 as his last sensible family cars before we all moved out. Always thought the looked great and drove ...

It’s incredibly annoying, and making it the lead headline news story didn’t help. As soon as I saw it I told the other half it would mean massive queues and petrol stations running out. Due to an issue with her car I was commuting in the ‘sud. No problem getting on a pump and filling up at 5am on th...

That’s the one that’s £18k on eBay isn’t it?

Coincidently, I was at the Jonny smith / sniff petrol, late brake show on tour in my sud a couple of weeks back and Sarah the office lady at Matthewsons came over and spoke to me about mine while her friend took some photos

My integrale cracked one of the hard plastic lines near where it met the rubber section down under the unlit manifold, was a little bit smelly! That was about 12 years ago. I replaced the whole thing with some copper pipe I had laying around and had no issues, it did run inside the car though. I’d h...

I suspect it’s more of an unexpected demand for super from people unsure about or unable to use e10 rather than any particular rationing or shortage of supply. No issues filling up over the past couple of weeks at the local Tesco’s for their momentum99 which I’ve been using in all our cars except th...

Yep, I went back and had a look. Hard to tell from the original auction which cars were which, seeing as they haven’t even bothered swapping the broken light cover over I don’t know that they’ve done any repairs at all other than maybe swap a few parts from the donor, give it a polish and take some ...

I meant to check if that was one of these cars as the reg looked familiar.

Looks like someone saw a chance for a quick buck. Wonder what standard it was repaired to…

Hi, I’m guessing due to not seeing any in almost a year of looking they’re not easy to come by.

Has anyone got a decent pair of struts which would fit my s2? The early type with the thread and nut at the bottom.

Dampers and other parts not needed, but would be handy spares if they were included.

I really want to say Honda nsx for the yellow one, but they only have the single scoop, unless there’s a specific version or kit with the extra lower one.

Wondered if this was my dads old one at first, same age / spec / colour. F254 JUF was his. Looks pretty tidy if that rear arch is the worst bit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALFA-ROMEO-33-not-a-barn-find-but-collectable-historical-vehicle-/373695869138?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6...

I personally would write a good advert, some decent photos, post the link around a few suitable forums / groups which allow it, and see how it goes.

My worry with cars like this and the recent boom in modern classics is that they end up in the hands of someone who will fibreglass them up, give them a nice looking paint job and stick them back up at £10k to cash in. Rather than going to an enthusiast who will do or get it done properly.

Series 2 dash too?

Ouch.

Hopefully they get used to get a couple of others back on the road, or someone manages to properly restore one of them.

Be interesting to see if NGC 31Y or A547 GVT ever show back up on the road.

My cars identical twin, love it.

Was tempted, but think I’d be looking for somewhere else to live

Turn out of suds was incredible, was glad to be a part of it.

Don’t know that I’ve ever seen so many in one place, maybe at the Chris knott insurance Alfa championship meet when my mum used to take me to snetterton in the early 90s

What’s happened in the btcc kind of echos what’s happening in the wider automotive world. Costs were spiralling so they brought in standardised components and sub assemblies so the cars all become pretty much the same just attached to a different body, but as you say the cars all look so similar it’...

It is sad, but it seems to be the way all cars are going. There’s no room for flair and quirks any more. Take pretty much any 5 door family hatch from the last few years, cover the grille and badges and I bet 99% of people would have no idea what any of them were by looking at or driving them. While...

I pulled all the inlet off the throttle bodies last night only to then be able to see that they would have been east to get to from underneath

Rain stops play again so I’m off to hide in my shed and polish the spare front bumper which came with the sud.

Sadly rain stopped play the last couple of days, but crank sensor ( I believe there’s actually two on these ) will be my next step.

Just need to find where they are, no doubt buried somewhere annoyingly tricky to get to under the inlet or something.

Good point about the crank sensors, I seem to remember them being a little fragile, probably because the s14 4pot is a fairly buzzy and not particularly smooth engine.

Calling in the collective experts on here, I’m having trouble getting my bmw e30 started. It has been sat for several years, but I’d like to get it moveable again. I’ve put in some fresh fuel, bypassed the fuel pump relay so the pumps are constantly running ( I couldn’t hear them while the engine wa...

I expect you probably all know about it, but there’s a nice article featuring a couple of Tis and a sprint. Are the members on here?

Great to see something about them in print

Ive heard of them but never seen one in action. I’ve got a pulled alternator bracket thread in an alloy block and looks like they would be a perfect fix for it. I used a similar looking solid insert to repair a dead sparkplug thread once. The special tap used what was left of the original thread to ...
