I had a 1974, 1976 and now a 1982 Fiat X1/9. I guess I must really like these small cars!

@@hyena131 No doubt there are elements in the X1/9's design that would be illegal for a new vehicle on American roads today.. most particularly, of course, the pop-up headlights.

@@m.e.345 I'm doing a projector headlamp conversion, using four 90mm Hella lamps in place of the pop up unit. I had to square out the lower corners of the apertures in the body and mount the lamps inside the body. This will require me to make an outer lens from clear acrylic to finish flush. This part also closes off the aperture from water ingress, unlike with popups. Three times the wattage, half the weight, all bulb options inc gas discharge. Also way more aerodynamic. But I'm in the UK and this is on a car with a full bumper delete inc screw in tow eyes and a modified serie speciale front spoiler. I had to install the spoiler at a shallower angle because the whole car is lowered 3" on coilovers. Still no idea if the headlamps can be set up to pass the MoT but I'm hopeful.

Make no mistake the X1/9 with some bolt on suspension upgrades, twin 40's on the later 1500cc engine, along with an 4 branch exhaust manifold and sports silencer ; makes a great, great, great fun car. Better still do some head work and remove some weight you have the fastest small sports car on the road.

Yes, really small. . . the cars increased their size during the years; now, even city car are not so small as the FIAT 500 i.e.
