[gfunk]

hi guys

my name is Tristan

im in Brisbane and i'm looking for a Alfa 33 (1.7L Boxer) to buy as a daily.. what i mean is i'll buy it as a daily then get emotionally attached to it and only drive it on weekends!

i currently have a Nissan Silvia



which is basically a track car, i use it for Drift and Timeattack

i do all the mechanical work myself so i have a large amount of mechanical advice to bring to this fourm, and lots to learn about alfa's in return

i also do IT as my occupation so can help out with anything computer related

hopefully you will see a post from me in the coming weeks showing my new alfa, when i find one

Hi Tristan,

Welcome to the forum!!! 

Awesome Nissan Silvia you have there!

You will find there are quite a few 33 owners in the club, a 1.7L Boxer is a great choice, i hope you can get it soon!!

I just recently became an owner of a 33 myself, a 1989 1.7 IE  ...... i am hoping to have it on the road in a few weeks..

Ciao

Hi there Tristan,

Good to see another future Alfista, once you drive an Alfa , no matter which one you get you will never go back :-)

I am the 900 series Register Captain for the Club, if you need any information regarding alfa 33's especially 33 Boxer 16V, please don't hesitate to ask. Further more there are other members and owners of Alfa 33's that will be able to give you plenty of good information.

Here is a couple of pics of my 16V "Tipo 907510"  Autodelta chipped . 

Good luck Tristan,
Martin Sifredi

Hey Martin

thanks for the link, i have sent mightmito a PM hopefully he has a nice alfa for sale!

im currently looking at one in NSW but it has a bit of wear and tear, will need a bit of work but nothing i cant handle still deciding though..


your alfa looks immaculate, perfect example of how they should be

update: i got a 33 Boxer!!!

i got it from a dealer :S

it was really cheap so im assuming its got a few issues, planning to go over it thoroughly over the weekend plus do a big service

some pics!







wish me luck!

main plan is to keep it as a daily and clean it up.. if its behaving well i will restore as much as i can including the paint

Hi Tristan,

Just got back from O/S and noticed you ended up buying the 33 boxer. It looks great..... My series 2 is a terrific little car to zip around in so I imagine yours would be a great little handler and have that bit of extra oomph they need!.

Hope you have as much fun in it as I did with mine when I first got him!!! 

Cheers,

Al
