My brother had one of these. It was a shocking car to drive. It handled like a fat girl wearing stilletos. Hopefully those tires of yours might make it better.
My brother's one ended up getting T Boned - ironically it was one of the happiest days of his life because it meant he could claim the insurance and get rid of it.... |

New toy.......
Nice! Always have liked Italian cars, even owned a couple of Alfa Romeos along the way! I put a head gasket on a buddy's 850 coupe once. The head was so small that I could palm it and lift it off the engine with one hand! The spider version used to make good slalom cars after a little suspension tweaking.

cool beans! I used to have an 850 sedan. Would have kept it but it was too rusty, and I didn't have a garage or a welder at the time. It only had 19k kms!

Back in the day, when these were being sold new, Rich Motors in Glendale was setting them up with all sorts of fun performance stuff. One of our Mulholland CRE regulars bought a blue coupe, and started doing all the mods. Unfortunately it met its (and almost his
 ! ) demise when a deer jumped out in front of him on Coldwater Canyon Sometime later on there was a guy with a white coupe that frequented the hill, and it looked so cool. Unfortunately these lil coupes are short on top speed. With their sub 1 liter motors, most other cars would run away from them. Sure are fun though ! Good luck

Where are the angry posts saying that this is a Porsche forum and to go to a Fiat forum if you wish to talk Fiat?
