Further to my previuos e-mail (rebuilding previously modified 1700) I now have some more questions. First off thanks to every one who replyed to my first...
Hey Gez I can only comment on the last paragraph and I am assuming that by jumping around, you mean on hard accelaration e.g. from a dead start, it wanders...
I agree about the rear suspension. When I first got my Sprint, I really wondered what all the fuss about great handling was all about. Then the car was...
I've got a 1983 Sud which has had a 105bhp 1.5 8V twin carb engine fitted. I would like to fit a 1.7 120bhp 8V twin carb engine. Could someone please tell be...
I believe it would be a straight swap with no mods needed; I would make sure you use the 1700cc Clutch. Just to make sure. It should even be possible to bore...
Many thanks Andrew and Grant, Do either of you know who manufactures uprated/lowered springs for the sud, my car is a 1983 ti. I tried a set of PI springs but...
Hi, Can anyone Give me some advice. I have an Alto kitcar with a 1500cc mid mounted Road/Race tuned Boxer engine. I also have two other engines I am planning...

Hi, Does anyone no if there is or has been any books on tunning the Boxer engine, Ive seen books for the A Series Mini engines. If there isnt there should be. ...
Hi Again, After more advice, My kit car has a 1300cc engine bored to 1500cc, what I need to no is, can I run it on unleaded petrol. Anyone got any ideas, The...
Hi Have a look on:- www.alfa-pages.co.uk There is a link on there with a scan of a late 80's Alfa service bulletin for running cars on unleaded. Basically if...
Hi, I'm by no means an expert, but as a general principle, I guess it will depend if the valves/seats were replaced during the rebuild with hardened ones. I...
Thanks for your advice, I managed to get hold of 6 gerry cans full of 4 star when it was going to stop. So i could run the engine in the chassis while I...
If my memory serves me right, Westune in the UK fitted a supercharger to a 'Sud and they would be my first port of call for help with a boxer supercharging...
... The 1.7 16V cannot be that expensive (considering the extra work you'll do). Performance over 200bhp is not unheard of, although with a LOT of work (and...

G'day Alfisti, I'm organising a group of Sydney Alfisti to get together every now and again to take their Alfas for a spin in the country. If you live in or...
Gary, I have never tried hoisting the engine out from the top, but my impression would be that you couldn't do it. I've removed several boxer engines and it ...
