Hi Guys,
I've been looking into, and am preping myself up on buying an X1/9.
With the intention of getting something that's tatty but MOTable.
(Probably a late model)
Then getting to work on the engine over the winter.
I've bit of experience with pratting around with cars from my little Mk2 Spitfire, but am quite looking forward to getting something which can be used in the winter months!
I'll also be looking at an engine swap. (Something relatively simple, around the 150bhp mark. - no alfa V6's for me, although i'm very impressed with such projects.)
First question, Is there anyone on this forum who's 6ft 5"??
Do you fit in an X1/9???
I can *just* fit in the spitfire, (you practically lie in them) but am concerned there's just not enough leg-space...
Any advice greatly welcome.
Chris
