Low Mileage
hello!
i've been lurking this forum long enough to think it's time to say hi. very recently picked up my first Fiat, and it's an X1/9 (which i've been lovingly calling 'fette d'arancia'), and i couldn't be more thrilled. i also couldn't be more busy already, with about a billion things to fix/improve, but that's a topic for another thread. coming from a long line of (wonderful) Honda's there is certainly some new here, but all of the same joy of a spicy little car.
it's a 1500cc, 1980 in that trademark orange, that came with some pretty rad Campy's! some pics at the end, hopefully...
needless to say, this forum has been fantastic, and i'm very excited to be a part of keeping it that way! lots of adventure in the land of wrenches so far, so i'll make a point of documenting what i'm doing (hopefully) for all the other new owners as well.
i'll make another thread at some point revolving around the work i'm doing on the car, but i'll hint that the first goal is getting that engine feeling as peppy as the '86 CRX's that we've got as well (which is still 100kg lighter... i won't pretend that's not the case). wouldn't be a bad thing to get it as reliable as well! i admit i don't trust the X very much at this point, hahah.
anyways, chat soon!
