Howdy one and all, Finally got the engine & trans back into the Sedan after sorting out the fuel tank. Got the new Sumitomo 175/50-13's mounted on a pair of 6"...
I run 250# springs, but that rate is highly dependent on where the spring hits the bottom a-arm, how long the a-arm is, angle of the shock, etc. The bottom...
Hey John - want some measurements? give me a fax # and I'll try to give you some "approximate" measures I'll try to give you a drawing that is close. I would...
Thanks for the advise David, the Sedan is pretty good about stepping right back into the right track when the rear starts to come around as it is right now. I...
Hello John, I would not weld the rear diff at all, it will go straight ahead under power. I might try a limited slip if one can be found and if when all done ...
Howdy everyone, The Sedan is back on its feet once more. The fuel tank has been cleaned and a proper vent hose was installed to prevent fuel sloshing out...

Hi Guys. I'm sure one of you can save me from re-inventing the wheel. I bought a 1100D and am interested in possibly using the 1221cc motor in the little 1960...
Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself. I've just aquired an Abarth Allemano 850 which is based upon the Fiat 850 platform (hopefully this model is acceptible to...

Dave, This was a common conversion back in the 60's.The 600 trans must be flipped over 180 degrees to allow correct engine rotation and an adapter must be...
John: Thanks for following up on the gearbox stuff. I don't think that there are 10+ people "out there" that are interested in doing a close ratio gear...
David: Looks like the PBS/Webster gears look like big $$$...when do you think you might have your cd ready? Do you have a source for the axles and cv to hub...
I'd settle for a 5 speed, especially if I was running one of the "big block" 124 motors. And if I did have to stick with the 850 trans-axle, I'd want the...

A quick update for the faithful... Took the Sedan to Fontana and San Diego yesterday for 2 Solo 2 events. New tyres and 124 frt sway bar a big improvement -...
After a bit more investigation, I found that the water pump hose had blown off and thats where the majority of the water came from. Decided to pop the valve...

John, Can you upload the photos to this site. I am unable to log into the "streetfire" site that you posted the pics in. Also, how about some pics of the 124...
