1982 Fiat X1/9 Fuel Injection review from North America
"Inexpensive Italian Targa sports car!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Injection ECU died in 1992, fuel injectors needed rebuilding, transmission syncros needed replacing, original seats rip easily.
General comments?
Excellent handling car!! I've lowered the car, love the Targa roof, I also race a Fiat X1/9 (GT car), and use a 1978 X1/9 as my daily driver. I've replaced the seats with BiMarco racing seats.
