Hi - Time for an upgrade
« on: January 16, 2011, 08:47:13 PM »
Hi. I've been doing the Uno thing for some time now and am looking to trade up to something with a bit more class and have landed in the 126 region. I'd like a later model but dont really know anything about what's what? Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction?
Cheers for now

Hi Caspar

I'm also new here and looking to get my first 126. Have also owned a Fiat Uno 1litre ( which i once got to 105mph :D ) and an Uno Turbo 1.3ie ( which got me my first and only speeding fine ).
I'm just finding out bits myself, but they seem like a friendly bunch on here so i'm sure someone will be along to help you out soon  :)

126 Bis it is then. Half the top speed of my uno but that did have a 2.0L integrale engine in it!! Now just got to find a buyers guide

You may want to read more of the forum before deciding, are you planning on an engine swap or tuning the engine?
Check out some of the swap sites, there is a Fiat 500 swap site with lots of ideas.
Then you need to decide if the car is for road use or not.
