At least all my Fiats have ben, from teh 124 Spyders to the X1/9s I raced in SCCA. Just finishing up a restoration on a 2000 spyder right now. THis is where I'm at so far:


Fiat restoration (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/cvetters3/fiat_restore.htm)

Fiat are not bad cars. The Stilo is a nice one, the Barchetta is fun, the Ulysse is good. Ok, the Seicento and the Panda are not the best ;)
But Fiat Auto owns Lancia and Alfa Romeo too !!! don't forget it ! And Fiat Spa owns Ferrari and Maserati !.... don't forget it !

And are Ford, Chevrolet etc. better than Fiat ?? I don't think so.

Well when I was at primary school in Germany FIAT was

F EHLER
I N
A LLEN
T EILEN

what meant: "Error in all parts :)"

Well 11 years after that we bought our first FIAT ;)
How ironic life can be ? But I think these rumors are spread by rivalling companies because they are too jealous :bigthumb:

Chris V,

Im doing a 69 spider.. Did my quarter panels the same way as you.. But with new replacements..

Goto www.turbo124.com and click on Jim's Spider..

Check it out.. Fiberglass front fenders, both new rear qp's carbon fiber hood, tubular frame. e.t.c...
:bloated:

Hmmmm i have a Mk2 Fiat Uno Turbo
Eats alot of faster cars for breakfast....
I'd never sell my baby....
On a side note any crash over 60km/h is a write off :)

But like WTF cares haha :)

can someone tell me where i can find parts for a fiat x-19 in south GA. I appreciate any help. Also this x-19 was some type of special addition with a different motor. It'll do 150 easy and still have control like its doing 60. Stock hight it barely comes up to most peoples stomach.

F-fix

HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Just saw the thing about an X1/9 with a special engine.
Sounds a bit strange, as the X1/9 was made with the standard 128-engine, which must be one of this worlds most common engines.
I do not think any important parts in the mentioned model differs from standard, but it might have some added anti-pollution gadgets in the US?
(If so, these parts would probably just be a few extra carburettor detalis and small hoses added.....)
But basically I think you should be able to replace all kind of bearings, gaskets, pistons with standard 128-parts.


Ehh, write off a Fiat if crashing at 60 km/t?
-I managed to do a writeoff of an 1978 X1/9 at 10 km/t...hmm...

I crew for a fiat 131 abarth replica rally car, and it shits on most rear wheel drive cars that that are running in Australia at the moment.

Feel free to email us and ask what ever Q&A's you want.
Go the Fiats :bricks1:
They may be a fart in a taxi but at least is the smell of greatness ( i think i might be kidding my self there)

It was the Bertone(however you spell that) edition

And he wrecked it doing 90 into a tree! Just screwed up the front bumper, radiator, blinkers, and some other type of cooler.

He kinda tried doing a 180 doing over 100mph using the E-brake, but he turned the wrong way. Stupid oh well! I'm trying to help him get it back on the road.

They are kinda pricy but www.baylessfiat.com/ is still in business. Give Raymond a call.

I have one FIAT Marea. It´s a good car here. But how I was not satisfied with only 142 BHP I´ve decided to install a Turbocharger and somethings else... and guess what? almost 300BHP to have fun.....

Rgds.

You mean as opposed to

or

?

P.S.: I like Fords, but I like Fiats too. And I don't own either, my car's a Daihatsu Charade.

bruces parts bin www.fiatparts.com..

BTW,,, that x aint doing 150 downhill with a strong wind to its back...

Sorry but its not happening!
The bertone was not a special x... they were all made by bertone.

Now my spider with forged pistons, oringed block, turbo, intercooler, and fuel injection wont do no 150.. least not in mph.

Even so I would guarentee it'll smoke your x.

Actually "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino"

It would translate into something like "Italian Automobile Works - Turin".

For all you jokers out there: I have a 1992 Fiat Tipo 1.4 with 242.000 km. NEVER broke down, normal maintenance, runs like new and is still capable of ashaming a lot of comparable modern cars (like VW Golf 1.4 and Peugeot 307 1.4). I just LOVE their driver's surprised faces! :evillol:

Did you know a lot of the modern technologies were developped by Fiat? Direct Injection and Common Rail, for instance?

Did you know who made the firs MPV? No, not Nissan, not Renault, it was Fiat 600 Multipla, in the sixties. The MPV spirit was there!

Do you know Fiat makes robots used to produce a lot of other makers cars, including japanese cars?

Fiats are good cars and, if you take minimal maintenance care, reliable and tough. I have a lot of friend who have VW, Audi, BMW - all of them laugh at my Fiat. I :rofl: when I see their workshop bills!

Fiat is a very good make. Today alas, they have a range which is a little bit too shy. But the Panda II and Idea are very good cars. Though, we are waiting for the new Croma, hoping that it will be a success, like a Laguna, a 3series, a 407 or a Passat.
I'm currently in Italy, in Torino, for 6 months and there are many Fiat here.
Your Tipo 1.4 could be comparated to a 307 1.6 or a Golf 1.6 because these new cars are more heavy. ;)

Your Tipo 1.4 could be comparated to a 307 1.6 or a Golf 1.6 because these new cars are more heavy. ;)
Yes, they are heavier, but they have 16 valve engines and are 12 years newer!

True ;)

Come on, surely after all these years of "Fix it again Tony" you guys would have had to come up with something better, or is there really that big a vacuum in car enthusiast creativity?

Fix it again Tony?? Ahahahahahahaha thats the funniest thing I ever heard :screwy: :loser:

I prefer: Fast Italian and Topless (good for Spider owners)

or: Ferrari In Affordable Trim (for X1/9s)

Anyway to the gentleman who was looking for X parts, try here:
