    Transmission Reinforcement/upgrades?

    Hi Folks, I'm scheduled to buy a 1981 X1/9 next week and I've seen a lot of threads on potential engine swaps, but nothing about preserving a stock transmission on a more highly tuned engine. To get into the specifics, the car has the 1500 and a 5 speed. I'm looking to boost the power of the...

    Anyone know any places in Atlanta that can do work?

    I wanna do most of the work on my X myself but for the things I'm simply not experienced enough yet to do like an engine swap and such I'd like to send her in to get those things done professionally. Anyone know a place near Atlanta or a person around here that could do the harder tasks for me?

    Build Thread for La Bambina Azzura.

    A little late as the build is underway already. I picked up a low Km 1979 in August. It had been off the road for 15 or so years but is a solid car with almost no rust. Only where there are scratches. The paint is in need of a respray and will be done in Porsche Mexico Blue to kind of brighten...

    What clutch kit to use when swapping a 1500 into a 128

    I came across a 1500 from an X-1/9 for my 128. I've swapped over all the required 1300 parts over to the 1500 and now want to mate it to the 128's 4 speed transmission. I assume I need to use the 1500's flywheel, but what clutch kit (pressure plate, disc, release bearing) do I get? Do I get the...

    Yugo GV Fiat X19 1.5L Swap

    Hello everyone! I was recommended to this forum from a guy who sold me a fuel-injected 1.5L from his X19 (he's doing a Honda K20 swap himself). I have a 1986 Yugo GV, which comes with the little carbureted 1.1L from the factory. Rather than rebuild that, I figured it'd be far more worthwhile to...

    New Engine Swap Idea

    The idea crossed my mind and I am sure it has passed through everyone's mind in the past week, at least to those who have heard the news. Then I found this: http://autoweek.com/article/sema-show/5-cars-need-honda-civic-type-r-engine-swap Civic TypeR crate engine available, 306 hp and 295 lb-ft...
