Re: Gearbox driveshaft flanges

No difference in driveshaft lengths, i agree. You just need to use the correct spacer.

Re: My S1 Sud Ti

quote 'incidentally the manual lists different tyre pressures for if you have tubes or not...both very low by todays heavy car pressures. nothing on the road nowadays that has 20psi rear pressure!'

Also not many cars that only weigh 875 kilos!

Re: My S1 Sud Ti

Nice work.
Out of interest, are your wheels tubed, or tubeless?

Re: Im a happy man :-)

That is great Jan Sud. I came to a boxermeet in Denmark around 5 years ago.
Are you going to the Boxermeet in Germany in September? I am going, but in my Spider this time.

Alfasam and Super wheels

Does anybody know where Alfasam is? I am in discussion with him about some wheels, but he seems to have disappeared.Perhaps there is a PM problem.

Alfasud update

A quick update on the Alfasud Super I bought in January. I have had engine running, the 1.5 85BHP motor in the super is strong (came out of a ti), and has good oil pressure. I have removed the front wings to rub down and paint which has given an excellent view of the inner wings, rails etc. I was as...

Re: Miisfire at idle on cyls 2 & 3

My suggestion is to richen those two cylinders with the mixture screws, it doesn't take them to be out by much for them not to fire. Is it possible you have an air leak with the breather bleed tubes?

Re: More Alfasuds

Although the Super looks worse than the QV, I believe it actually needs less work, so i quite fancy doing that one first, then it will be available on here.

Super wheels needed.

Any of you wonderful guys got any steel wheels suitable for my 1979 super that you don't need? I will need the chrome Super centre caps too :) I wish to get my Super back to the way it looked when new, rather than with the ti bits and pieces. You can message me on here, I check this forum most days....

Hi Jon are you trying to get S2 wings for an S2 car? S1 and S2 wings are the same, the front headlight indicator cutout does not come so far round into the wing as on the series 3. Another give away is that on S1 and S2 wings, the side repeater hole is round and in front of the wheel, the series 3 i...

Re: More Alfasuds

Well, we got them home in two trips, brakes were free on the super, but fronts locked solid on the QV. Luckily the front calliper outer adjusters moved just enough that with a clout with a bar and hammer we managed to free them off. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff23/Alfasudman/IMAG1603_zps77fc...
