    Suspension pickups - race build 1978 X1/9

    I am moving to an x1/9 full track build after a break from building my last 128 - it’s been a long time since I looked at x1/9 chassis set-ups - can somebody bring me up to speed with best practice on relocating suspension pickups (or not) for the front? I and assuming the HP racers out there...

    Rear Shock Clunk

    I drove my X around a lot yesterday with the fantastic weather we are having here in the midwest. The rear drivers side shock makes a nice clunking noise every time I hit a bump on that side or both sides. I can also recreate the noise by pressing down on the corner manually. I first thought...

    So...seeing as 13" tires are on the way out...

    ...and becoming next to impossible to get, what 14" wheels/tires can one get that require no fender/wheelwell modification? I would like something for the X 1/9 that just bolts on and works. I'm pretty sure 15" wheels/tires require structural mods, so I'd rather not consider those. Any ideas?

    Might be Suspension?

    Last night, the car drove fine with zero problems. I drifted the wheels around a corner while it was wet just to try it out after having the car for three months. Now whenever I drive, I hear a squeaky-rubbery kind of noise. No clue what it is, I already knew I had to change my strut upper...

    '81 X Front Wheel Bearings

    Howdy all, I'm replacing the front right wheel bearing on my '81 X, and reading the service manual and previous threads isn't lining up with what I am finding in the hub. I unstaked and removed the nut and washer, pressed out the hub, and removed the inner thrust ring. This revealed the...

    Winter Projects: Suspension Overhaul

    For this winter I would like to give my '78 X's suspension an overhaul. This is an original 4 speed 1300 car. What all would you recommend I do while suspension is disassembled? I would like for this thread to be a good one to bring up to anyone else looking to do the same in the future. I...

    Rear Struts

    I have a 1975 Fiat X1/9. It has factory struts and the front right and rear left have gone completely stiff. I want to replace all four but I can't find 1974-1979 rear struts anywhere. The newer ones require a later model rear spring perch in order to attach and that part is very pricey. Does...
