Jonathan i have never seen it before!! shame about the colour, the body kit looks good. have you heard of the skinner brothers there is a link of this forum somewhere to pics of theres, there 126's are almost as fast as the f1 road maclaren. :roll: There is a video of him raicng his 126 against a carrerahave a look you may have sene it http://www.fiat126.co.uk/video.htmlChris
Come on, you KNOW it makes sense. A Fiat 126 with a Yamaha R1 engine and six speed sequential gearbox. I went to see this puppy today and it rocks. The phone pics don't do it justice - it is a fantastic lush red, and the Union Flag on the roof is spray painted on, not stickered.The guy started it up and it sounds fantastic, just like, er, an R1 with a loud pipe in fact! The rear suspension has been changed to be independent, and it runs proper 2 pot calipers up front and single pot calipers in back. There are uprated shocks and springs and it has a roll bar. The interior has racing seats and harnesses and an R1 revcounter. And a hifi. It rocked. Oh, it also has a transfer box so you can do over a hundred in reverse. It all looked really pretty well done, I was impressed. Proper sized radiator, electric fan, ram air, etc. Didn't get a go, sadly. A mere ?3995 for 142 horse!Edit: The horn also plays the same tune as the car in the Dukes of Hazzard and the gearing maxes out at 115mph. Can you imagine what the acceleration must be like? If I had the cash and somewhere to keep it, I would get itr!
