mixmasterlex Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Fucking love this thing. Have wanted it for last 5 or so years and dude who had it finally said he was going to get rid of it due to f all use. 1990, 89000miles. Factory bar wee poddy and rear shelf which has some mint old magnat speakers which for circa '86 they go amazing. 1.4 turbo for those that don't know, 0-100 in 7.2 factory or something. No power steering, actually handles really well for a wee hatch. Anyway it's suprisingly quick. And top speed is over 200. I ran out of balls before the car ran out of guts. Plans are to keep it under cover and keep it clean. I'll use it every few months when I am back home. Clutch disengaes a bit dodgy, think it's something to do with hydraulics. Going to get some decent speakers for front doors to be run off amp. Has a suprisingly good sony mp3 headdy. Not usually a fan of sony stuff, but this came with the car and goes good for what it is so it's going to stay for now. If I can get some suspension cheap off trademe one day I will, but ideally want to keep this stock. Even have factory airbox and rear shelf which is cool if you like that kind of thing. Body is tidy as you would expect for something that's been in the garage most of it's life, not rust or anything which I hear these things are prone too. Anyway, here are a few pics. I'll post a vid of it boosting next time I am home. What you chaps rekon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlex Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Best car on here, sell to me please.Seriously, a great little car a well sorted one will carve up most rice rockets No I plan to keep it for a very long time. Yeah, have heard these are pretty quick with some simple mods, and motors seem to be pretty strong going by what I have read online. Really willing wee thing, it suprised me over and over again when I took it over to the west coast, just so well sorted for a small car of it's era.

kyteler Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 There's a guy locally who takes his modified one of these onto the strip and quite regularly defeats other cars, much to their shock and dismay. Generally when it rolls to the line you hear the disgust from the crowd, unaware of it's capabilities, then the light goes green and they change their mind Yours is a hell of a lot tidier than his, mind you. Very nice car though man, look after it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I recall hearing stories of how the Mafia used to use these to escape the plod in Italy, were quicker than anyhting the coppers could get their hands on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 they go very well, although the stock injection holds you up from upping the boost too much. But first thing you MUST DO GO buy 4 cans of fish oil and spray the crap out of it. take up carpets etc. get underneath spray inside chassis rails just everywhere spray that shit. will get a bit sticky in places after as you will get overspray and it requires a bit of elbow grease to polish off but its waaaaaay worth it in terms of stopping rust. repeat a couple of times a year and it should stay pretty well mint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlex Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Ok won't tint it... Decided I'm just going to keep it stock as a rock bar nice stereo additions. Plans for next month are too get wheels polished and center caps replaced if I can find some, might get some new bades for it too as these ones are pretty dull.

tortron Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 thread hijack but those are used for organ delivery also one crashed the other day, id say their organs were no good after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Needs a BOV to achieve the full awesome , but even the bog standard NA ones are hilarious to drive they rev their nuts off. Also I like the idea of more lush Fiat goodness on OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
