I am totally new to Alfa and these types of forums. I recently obtained a Alfa 33 1.7 (8v), that I am hoping to get on the track at some stage, but also something that will remain (semi) road legal to some extent. Can anyone suggest the best thing to start with, i.e. what can be safely pulled out to reduce wieght, any easy perfomance modifications?

I am a total newby 

The gearshifting on this car is also something of a black art. Any suggestion as to where I can get more information on fixing up the feel of the shift?

Cheers,
