What did your X1/9 do to you today? (This isn’t the thread “what you did”)

[Janis]

Made me smile without a reason how great the starter motor works. Got to gas station after 5 minutes and couldn’t turn it on because starter motor died, that is some unbelievable coincidence

I like the name of this thread. At first I missed what it actually says.

And it is so true, what they do to us is usually why we have to do things to them.

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum. Glad you got a project X1/9 to work on. Feel free to post as much as you can about it.

Just to help you out a little, this particular thread is sort of a 'spoof' on another thread. The one that is most often used is called "what I did to my X today", while this one is "what my X did to me today". See the difference? He is kind of joking about his car messing with him today.

I missed the title difference at first also, easy to mistake them.

Here is a link to the more common thread to talk about things you do to your car:

What did you do to your X1/9 today ?

Its pretty simple all you do is simply tell us what you've done to your X1/9 during the current day or in the late evening prior. It can be anything from a fun drive, wash/wax, to engine rebuilding etc.. Pics and video are always welcome for incrimination.. :omg:.. I mean entertainment purposes.

Maybe also consider starting a new thread with more about you and your X? That can also go under the "discussion" section of the forum.

thanks my mistake

Today my X started, ran flawlessly and garnered compliments from strangers.
All & all, a pretty typical day with the car

thanks my mistake

No worries, you really should start a thread so we can assist you and slobber all over your car. Pictures, don’t forget the pictures

My X always makes me smile when I look at it. If my Fiats don't pass the smile test then something needs to be done, either some goofy mod or a for sale sign.

Mine continued to taunt me from its winter cocoon and the other one glared at me in the garage with its lungs ripped out and strewn all over its trunk lid.

Exactly one year to the day after putting my car away for a short vacation it arrived at our new home. Unfortunately the mechanic who did some work before transporting it messed a couple of things up, so I won't be able to register it for a couple of weeks. It is just and beautiful as I remembered it...

Went today to see some drift battle for first time in my life. Unfortunately parking area was full, but security said that my car is so nice that I’m allowed to drive in and look for a free spot. My friend was with me behind with miata, he said he is with me and also was allowed it suddenly started to rain today - fun to watch cars get beaten

My X watched me unpack my new compressor today but had this strange look like it was thinking..."and he thinks that will help him get out my Heater box, Bwha, ha,ha,ha......"

 

[Dr.Jeff]

that will help him get out my Heater box

Sure it will. A compressor will power a body saw, a "jaws of life" device, a cutoff wheel, a large impact wrench, and many other necessary tools to get the box out.

My X restored my faith a bit. First shot, got the timing marks all lined up when replacing the belt. 4 rotations later...still on the marks. A first in my world.
