WANNA DRIVE MY CAR
OK 81 FIAT SPIDER 2000....I have owned the car almost a month...my daily driver is a 1976 international scout..so getting into the fiat is pure excitement every time i do. i have replaced- shocks- rotors- brakes- lights -calipers and anything i can initially find that i think needed to be done. i have laughed...cried...jumped for joy and cursed a few time also...going form the scout to the fiat i worry that i am missing something....i have read that smart money goes into suspension and such...would love to know if anyone lives close to grand junction colorado or any events coming soon and close...to me it feels like it corners on rails...would love an objective informed experienced perspective.....so if your ever in my area... give me a shout and help me spend my christmas money ...thank you so much to everyone that makes this site possible......Matt

Re: WANNA DRIVE MY CAR
I certainly would if I lived a little closer! What kind of shocks did you use? Are you planning to use a bigger swaybar? They really seem to stabilize the front end and help the handling.
