Hi, I'm an enthousiast Alfa owner from the Netherlands. In summer i drive my '83 Alfasud Ti 1.7 QV  now in winter i drive my '91 Alfa 33 1.7 IE I'm also restoring an '86 Alfa Romeo Arna 1.2 SL, and have an '87 Alfa 33 1.7 QV in need of some attention from the weldingtorch  my Alfasud is quit standard for now i'm collecting the bits for it at the moment i want for it so far i've found - yellow koni sports shockers - 15" Ronal A1 rims - goodridge brakehoses - OMP strutbrace - stainless steel exhaust system - K&N airfilters still looking for some decent loweringsprings, eibach for example, but they're hard to find in Holland now |

Welcome along, your Alfa looks ace! Is it in a showroom in that pic or is that your garage? |

Arrrgghhh I would so love to score a set of Ronals. Sadly, I've never ever laid eyes on a set in NZ, so the chances of that happening are slim to nil..... so I'm stuck with my grotty TSW 15's for now. So it's up to you to make yours nice and low on the Ronals, and make me positively green with envy  Beaut looking wee 'sud though, it's a QV like mine isn't it? So you'll have the cool red carpet and the seats with TiTiTiTiTi all over them! |

Yes, it's a Ti QV, originally an 1.5 105bhp version, now fitted with an 1.7 carbs-version, and the short original gearbox. at the moment the carpet is still red, but that's going to be swapped with the green carpet from an '85 Alfasud sprint QV. and then i'm going to decide what the colour is going to be original the sud was silvergrey, like yours but I also quit like the blu misano from the new Brera or electric orange from the Ford Focus ST but that's a decision to be made for next winter |

Hi Guys, Great looking Suds you all got, great to see others. I've got a 1983 ti, which have done various mods to, including the following; Koni yellow adj front shocks Avo adj rear shocks Autodelta (UK) springs Polybushes (all round) Strut Brace Brake Bias Valve Straight through exhaust ending with Supersprint backbox. 7x15 Azev 195/45 Goodyear Eagle F1's. Removed rear seats etc and have a pair of harness's. Will be swapping the engine over this summer, I have a 33 16v lump sitting on the floor waiting for me to find time to fit it! Also have a set of Recaro's from 33 16v to fit. So I'm looking fwd to the summer  I need to take some proper photo's, here's a few I have but they're not great and a bit small!!! Ok don't think I managed to attach the photos!! How do I?? |

There's a link on here somewhere telling you how to do it... Or try www.tinypic.com, browse your own files for the picture you want to use, select it then press the host picture button. Give it a few seconds as it uploads and then copy and paste the 'img' line of letters and numbers into your post on here. That should do it for you...  |

Boxerman.
On page 2 (3rd from bottom) I listed most (I think!!) of what I've done so far modification wise. They were loads of standard parts I had to replace also.
Actually just noticed I missed out the Tarox 40 groove front discs and fast road pads I have fitted, but once I've dropped in the 16v engine (which I'll be running on motorbike carbs!!) I'll have a look at upgrading the front brakes again, although I will be keeping them inboard still.
Apart from that, I've got to fit the Recaros (from a 16v 33) and the roll cage I have and have the car sprayed again, body is ok at the moment, but want to colour code the bumpers, etc black too.
So plenty for me still to do!!
Hopefully will get a chance to take it on some track days in the 2nd half of this year.
