I thought people liked Italian mid-engined sports cars! Doesn't anyone care about the car that showed the way to Pontiac (Fiero) and Toyota (MR2)?

Yes thay are, I've had two, still have one in storage, waiting to be restored.

I used to have one.
It had a 2L Lancia engine in it it used to haul arse. I used to have fun and play with Subaru WRX's and alike.
They go well if you set them up right ie suspention, wheel alignment, brakes.
I used to have a lot of trouble with braking drive shafts though.
But thats all fun and games when owning a fiat...

Yeah ,but here in the mountains of Tennessee, Most auto places look at
you like a deer in headlights when you mention the name "Fiat"

I'm fixing to buy a Bertone X-1/9 in two weeks! Needs a radiator,fan,and some other type of cooler(will figure it out when I get it). Where is the best place to get parts for them?

Try Bayless Fiat, and Vickers, and there is another one you can check out, I just don't remember the name of. Just remember there is a lot of stuck that you will have to replace that is not Fiat Specific, so check around before you buy.

Call Vick Autosports and have them build you an X-1/9 engine... you could pull maybe 150hp out of the 1500cc easily... or you could get a turbo off an European 1100 or Uno... gotta know someone in europe for that tho
