1987 Alfa Romeo 33 Gold Leaf review from Australia and New Zealand

Nothing has gone wrong with the car. Apart from its continuing rusting away to nothing. That's a given, they rust.

Funny, the example given to the left on this page is: This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails.

I can honestly say, that is the exact words I was going to use.

All you need to do is cut the springs in the back with an angle grinder (take 2inch out of it) and you have your self a car which doesn't dip when braking. Which looks normal, not out of balance.

Then rip out the air filter and wack on a nice piece of foam. The type of foam ment for custom air filters. It should cost about $10. Put those on, and suddenly you have a wild machine that revs like a V8 with a 5" exhaust all the way through.

I also have an 1984 alfa, it is crap. The Gold Leaf edition of the Alfa seems to be something with harder suspension, better performance and handling.

I think my motor (which has only 20,000ks on it) has had some head work done on it.

This little baby does 185KM/h.

Get one in RED, they look so sweet. Mine is silver and I want to paint it red.

The interior in these is crap. My old Honda Prelude was 10 times better.

My alfa pulls up a 30 degree hill in 3rd doing 100Km/h around sharp bends. Like a balarina prancing around.

I raced a new 318i BMW and won. What does that say?

All that is left to do: Paint it RED, Put ricaro interior through it. Find a Body Kit for it. Get some nice phone dial mags for it. Custom made 5" exhaust straight through.

I seriously love this little 33, it looks so boring. Yet it sounds like a hotted up WRX. It handles as good as anything for its age.

With a little bit of modification from a Gold Leaf Edition you can get a seriously performing car for cheap.
