got this while searching for other mid engined cars:
"....Hello, I owned a 1979 Fiat X-19 for almost a year. Within that year I changed the head gasket twice, had numerous electrical problems, could not stop it from leaking water inside the passenger compartment, and I could go on and on. It only had 33K on lt, handled great, Looked great, but too bad it spent more time sitting than on the road. Whatever you do, dont buy one....... Matthew......" similar but hideous!!!!!

And because it's an italian piece of cr@p, it rusts even worse than a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm pretty sure X/19's have a loyal following just like our beloved teeners do. Somewhere on a X/19 BBS right now is a pic of a 914 with the caption, "Don't ever buy one of these. I had one and it ran like shit until one day when it finally burned to the ground" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I had to race against one of those at the SCCA driver's school back in march. that thing was slow. My 914 was overheating and i was 1/2 throttle down the straights and still passing it. haha. Corner speed was very similar though.

When you say overheating, what were you noticing? Temp gauge tell you? Steam?

Ah, the Fiat X1/9...It was my first sports car when I was 17. Had for about a year. It was a '78, first year with 5 speed, Mine had two in that year. Lost the right rear wheel once. Had to replace the alternator, had to loosen the motor mount to get it out. Broke a CV joint peeling out in the grass when the tire hit the pavement.
If I remember correctly the engine is a 1.6, in line four. Never had any coolant leaks as mentioned above. But man it sure was fun, turned corners without slowing down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) There is a folowing here in LA. I've seen a couple out at the Thursday Night Car Club meets. These guys have them all dialed of course...cams, headers, carbs...even saw one with flares! There was a guy showing one at a car show last summer and said to him "hey, I used to push one of these around when I was a teen" - He wasn't amused - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) -Mike D. |

...and on a side note. Those cars look like smeared shit on the bottom of a shoe compared to a 914 |

Fix It Again Tony!
Anyone else have some good car acronyms? One of my favorites: Ford=F*cked Over Rebuilt Dodge I have one for Pontiac, but I think that's even more off-color |
