Just bought a XTD Stage 3 clutch from the ebay store Aimco. Guess we'll see how much it'll hold and if it's worth it. I figured what the hell, for $195+$17 shipped.......dunno.gif

I do not often post up mods on my fiat... mostly because they are few and far between.. but I just picked up a new tranny for it.

The fiat 124 transmission is a bad design. Unlike most transmissions, it uses springs to help keep it in gear (most cars use springs to help you get the car OUT of gear) but the later fiat 131 transmission is a more conventional and better design.

The trouble with the 131 transmission is that they are rare here in the states... and they put the shifter too far back when installed in a 124 chassis.. UNLESS you get the very rare transmission out of the 131 racing which had an Abarth sourced shift extension... and was never sold in north america

Well, I just got a 131 transmission with the Rare Abarth shift extension.. only cost me $850 USD... the problem.. it is in Australia. The shipping is going to rape me.

yea, OEM hatch struts striaght from Korea. They're made for the 1999 Shark spoiler tibs so they're a lil' bit stinger. I just like em' cuz when I put the key in and turn it to pop the hatch I just have to pull the key out and the hatch slowly rises.
I doesn't do it when I pull the lever on the interior. too bad.

Hey guys, well my second post on this topics would be my headers from SSAutochrome. It may sound like crap but I plan i buying a cat REAL soon and fixing the annoying buzzing sound, maybe a glasspack later down the line.

Got the same headers just installed friday.

Got a thrush glasspack. Got rid of the buzz quiet a bit. But i think i made a mistake and put the test pipe in.

Anyways, that is my latest mod also.
