RUST! (as if you weren't expecting to hear that!) Usual places of rusting are at the sides of doors, on the corners of windscreens, and the wheel-arches! its all fixed now and recently went through a quite nice wax job as well, looks like a beaut!
The car was seriously quick when I first got it, but since then I've also made a series of nice modifications to it. More specifically I changed the transmission, the exhaust,lowered its springs, placed disc-brakes both at the front and the back and did some minor tricks to the engine to make it breathe better. It now gives out 155bhp and can do 0-60mph in 7 sec...not bad for a 13year old car!! Inside I've also placed a murderous ICE (Clarion deck, 2xAlpine 100watt 6x9'', 2xRockford Fosgate Fanatic Component system (200watts) at the front, 1 Kenwood 4x100watt Amp, 1Rockford 4x 400 amp, and Three Rockford HE 12'' subs)... gotta say it can deliver a bloody ear piercing 150db, but I've got the safety switch armed at 135db so I don't go deaf!
Honestly the A33, kicks ass all round... whether it is the sound of its engine, its performance or its ability to leave Golf GTi's behind on steep corners. Honestly it's a great piece of Italian engineering...I mean I already had one A33 and couldn't resist buying another!!
Plans for the future are getting a custom made body kit done... fitting a new interior and discussing with my lawyer my life insurance!
Hey I'd love to hear the exact mods you did to bring it up to 155...I was thinking of putting a 2.0TS out of a 145 into mime but that's the same power as you quote. Cheers.
