Sud Ti Race Car
Hi Guys,
Well some of you here may know me but I have been around for a while but new to this forum. Seems that there are a lot more active topics relating to Suds/33's than the other forums...Great!!
I have been quiet on the forum side of things for the last 3 years but have not stopped work, which as we all know is next to near impossible =).
I originally started out sprinting my 33 16v but then later decided it was a tad too clean for racing. This brought on the search for an Alfa Sud as they were a bit lighter and have always been a family favourite.
The Sud came from a close mate and had been sitting in their front yard for two years, snapped it up for $150 =))))
The original state was not too bad, couple of dings, broken lights and of course the std single carb motor, but nothing some TLC could not fix.
Over the next 3 years the car was completely stripped and rebuilt with the help of a lot of other cars for donor parts. After this the modifications just kept going and going and going....
I could talk about all of the modifications but will try and keep it simple:
- 1983 Sud Ti
- Seam welded engine bay, half rollcage (still street registered)
- 16v strut bars
- 16v radiator
- 1.7 twin carb solid lifter ver (match ported, C&B Cams, Lighter internals, 16v oil pump, Crane ignition, tuned length extractors, custom valves & cuts)
- Koni yellows, Spherical top mounts, Super pro bushings, spherical adjustable track rod arms, adjustable panhard, custom springs, Camber adjust kit
- 16v suspension
- Outboard brake setup - Wilwood 4 piston calipers, bias valve, braided lines, PMU pads
- Lightweight Enkei racing wheels (4.4kg each) Toyo Semi slicks
And a whole lot of OCD detailing, polished parts, re-nickel plated bolts, SS bolts and lightweight trim parts to make it look a bit more presentable.

Re: Sud Ti Race Car
The bar is a K-Mac kit but they seem to only be custom order now. I manufactured the brackets myself to mount to the rear axle and the rest was included in the kit. The brackets for the ends are thick L bracket steel which go through the rear suspension bolts.rsfruitbat wrote:Car looks really good

Re: Sud Ti Race Car
Any idea of a contact address and a price?
Did you find it made a big difference?

I got my stabilizer from Car Torque here is South Australia (08 8362 7667) and they sent my plans direct to Kmacrsfruitbat wrote:Any idea of a contact address and a price?

They should be able to help you out.
As for the difference, yes the car is considerably more stable through cornering. Some people have some very wired ways of running stabilzers in the suds....I just tend to have a small light one in the rear and a medium up front and its great.
Also have a medium on my 16v too
