Alfa 33 1.7 16v / to play with..

[Thanos 193]

My new track day car

Lots to come...

[GTV-TB 315]

I just love those boxer engines, just as addictive as the TB engine.

 

Delicious car, you will surely have a lot of fun with it

[Paso 239]

I had 33 1.5 Q Oro, great engine and great handling due to low gravity center.

[Thanos 193]

This little 33 is a joy on track. faster than any stock 3.2 for sure.

The engine is very powerful so nothing to modify there.

What it really needs is a roll cage, suspensions set up, better brakes and a LSD...

and martini racing stripes

To tell you the truth, what I wanted for the track was an alfa 75 but after driving this amazing 33 I don't regret my choice at all.

[Michael 45]

 I understand that decision, I have my 33 1.7 i.E since 1998 and it makes still fun. It is my Alfa without any problems during the years and meanwhile it has nearly 200.000 kilometers (first engine never opened). Have fun!!

Good luck with this project  !

With what engine is she? I see prepared for racing interior and lightweight wheels (they are Superleggera, right), so you are ready for first laps on track  .

Waiting for future progress  .

[Thanos 193]

Yes she is ready... But she needs some updates as I said.

The wheels are are not oz but team dynamics. They look and they weight almost the same.

The engine is a 1.7 16v.

Right now I am working on a new smaller alloy fuel tank.

[Thanos 193]

I added some weight with new decals for the next track day...

[Thanos 193]

My first sponsorship and a few fotos the alfa trofeo.

I have so much to learn...

And I need a race suspension. AHM hopefully

[Filip 124]

Nice! I'm using Liqui Moly Race 10W-60 in my Twin Spark.

Congrats on the sponsorship.

[Thanos 193]

Liqui Moly is the best oil ever

By the way,

I thought that I have an Alfa. Not a Peugeot... lol

[Thanos 193]

without the "racing suit"

 

and with it..

I am falling in love with boxer inside alfa romeos

[Filip 124]

Sounds great! And looks race cool 

[GTV-TB 315]

Rear wheel lifting, cool

[Thanos 193]

In the meanwhile...

keep on testing.

Probably this was the last race for my little 33 for this season.

 

 

and the competition is out of my league

[ivan 15]

Awww... boxer engines!

I guess you enjoy every time you drop the foot down!

I remember the first Alfa I drove, was a 33 phase 2, 1300cc. without exhaust and with Bonalume trumpets!

Gorgeous car!

[kunev 131]

Which is this circuit? It is not Serres I guess. Megara maybe?

The 75 don't look as so serious track car  .

[Thanos 193]

Megara it is

This 75 turbo is about 450ps with expensive mods..

It is maybe the faster alfa romeo on this track and faster than a Toyota Corolla WRC that joined the event.

[GTV-TB 315]

and the competition is out of my league

 not sonically I think?

[Thanos 193]

Thats ok.. there is always a faster car out there.

[Mitchman 12]

Love the 33. Brings back happy memories

[Thanos 193]

first time they met ...

 

[Alfaduden 226]

You should consider intrax suspention!

 

Here is a guy in Norway that bought a 33 (Serias 3) without any experience at all! He have now won a lot of races!

Good luck with the 33! I like it a lot

[Thanos 193]

Thank you for the link Duden!

I have read  every page of the above topic and that guy is an inspiration! Give him my regards in case you know him.

 

With not many improvements in my 33 I came first in my category in the last alfa trofeo.

The 33 sits on koni and low springs but this is not enough.. Maybe good for road use but not for race.

Unfortunately, intrax suspension is way off my budget..  

With much less money I can have a custom made suspension.

It wont be as good as intrax but hopefully way better that koni...

Doing so I can spare lots of money in other updates like slip diff, safety improvements and tires.. I need a lot of tires

[GTV-TB 315]

A bit of inspiration when the time comes and you want more.
