mmmmm need to get home and dig. Plus I want to crawl under the Fiat X1/9

 

Billy,



I'm heading over next weekend and see if I could get it started. If I do and if you want to play around with it, I'll be happy to drive it over to you.



Ultimately, I just want this thing to have enough power and handle like a champ!.. I'm sure everyone else probably want the same thing.

 

isnt that just cause its winter?

 

To ease things somewhat on Billy. Lets come to a consesus of what we want. AND lets define the problem. Here is my list:



Problem: Parts availability and "inferior" design of the stock tie rods and ball joints.



Desired Outcome: Ability to have a reasonalby priced source of parts with a minumum of hacking



Wheels: I am happy with the stock pattern (Panasports)

Brakes: More is better

Proper Alignment adjustments and travel

Steering: R&P would be nice, but maybe stock 1st gen?

Minor modding of the strut towers is tolerated (want to retain "stock" appearance

 

banzaitoyota, What you said sounds good I've never driven in a stock RX2 so I can't really say. The one I'm getting isn't running so, I have no idea how it handles...





Here are some pics of my future RX2...

Nice find!!!



Looks like you have the standard window rot problem





I like your front lip, car to make a copy?

 

I like the lip also.. Once I get the car, I'll try to make a copy. I have a guy in AL who could make FG/CF parts. He made my Feed side skirts..



So, can I buy parts to fix the window?? I noticed all the weather strips are rotted to hell.

 

some of the w/s is available, look on ebay, they reproduce em in austrailia. some of it isnt available, you just have to find some thing close or just live with it
