Re: Project Alfa Romeo 33 1.3vl

Hi FD Looks nice on the Gtv6 alloys Shame you couldn’t get set of the 2.0 ones as they are 4x98 . As for the gear-lever be careful you don’t get too rough with the Lever as the internal springs in the box have been known to break. Whilst i like the rosejoint idea if really does need a Secondary met...

Cars looking great .nice work . I like the gear selector mod too 8-)
Thanks! I might add something in the future to help centre the lever. The springs in the box are not quite as strong as I would've hoped.

How do you go on with insurance in Holland as a 19 year old?

Most people of that age in the UK would find the insurance on your car would be sky high!
Insurance is sky high, but since this is a youngtimer and not my daily driver, I got a better price.

Looking very smart.
Are you using adaptors to take five stud wheels?
I am! I bought a set of 4x98 to 5x98 made for a fiat 500. The centres of the wheels have been resized on a cnc lathe. The centres of the adapters have been on the lathe too to fit the "weird" Alfa centre diameter.

Re: Introduction Alfa Romeo 33 1.3vl

Update 7-02-2020 Yesterday I removed the gearbox because of a knocking noise thinking it was the clutch bearing. "Sadly" this one was still in one piece and there seems to be a lot of play on my gearbox input shaft. So I will be rebuilding the gearbox. While I'm in there, is it possible to fit stron...

Re: Introduction Alfa Romeo 33 1.3vl

Hi FD great to see another 33 907 on the forum. As Kev has kindly pointed out I owned a 905 33 when I was not much older than yourself (somany years to ago) as a daily driver and it literally went everywhere, and yes including upside down in a ditch, but it lived to tell the tale. Anyways having st...

Re: Introduction Alfa Romeo 33 1.3vl

Really interesting to see the different models that were sold in differing countries, and also the similarities in how people become Alfa fans. My mate Paul had the first Alfa amongst our little group, that car was driven everywhere, not always where cars were supposed to go either, but recovery tr...

Re: Introduction Alfa Romeo 33 1.3vl

I think there was a 33 Veloce But maybe the Lusso name came in later models? What year is your car, and is it carb or injection? It is a 1.3 liter 8valve, with twin double Dellorto carbs (drla40's). It's a 1991. I will add this information to the post :D This is a Lusso AND a Veloce, they have been...

Project Alfa Romeo 33 1.3vl

Hello everyone, I'm 19 years old and two years ago, after a very long search, I bought my Alfa 33. It has been imported to The Netherlands in may 2016 from Milan, Italy. When it came to the Netherlands it only had 2 previous owners in Italy, wich makes me the 4th as I'm not the one who imported it. ...
