Shows how abarth got round it.
Loved my 1300, got bored and sold it and took a while to regret it. Got a later x and it wasn't the same, 1500cc seem to unbalance it, but then higher ride hieght and heavy bumpers either end didn't help. Moved on. Had one more 1500, rusty and blown seized motor. Dropped the engine from my trashed uno turbo in to it. Twats in cars wandering over the white line make things a little scary. That seem to be perfect but as it was one of many it got sold to fund something else, an 850 saloon. The last one I had was a 1300 that ended up with LEDA coil over fully rebuildable suspension and braided brake lines and body that was patches on patches. Was left to get round to it but never did as the more I cleaned the more there was rust. Could face the scrap man collecting it.
Now the MK1 MR2 got it perfect IMO.
