[@AlskinsX1-9]

Great job! I learn a lot from your videos. I have a 1982 X1/9. Cheers from California. 😀

Great illustration of service items as a result of neglect.

Thanks appreciated.

Mid West Bayless who I have been dealing with since the 1970's,have whatever you need for an X!

[@x19australia]

They are very good, and I use them all the time. However, we got different X1/9s in Australia than the rest of the world, as well as right-hand drive. So, we need to be careful ordering parts here, as they're not always the same as the ones in the USA.

French owner of the same car (except rear spoiler). A lot of fun driving this car on the small winding mountain roads

[@x19australia]

Yes the small twisty roads is where these cars and the most fun. Is your one Fuel injected?

[@francoisbessac]

@@x19australia No, with double body carb' and the impressive power of 85 HP (in fact, 78 on the dyno).

Thank you again for this video where I improve my mechanics knowledge

[@stephanmurphy909]

Great watching your video s from Ireland my sister has a 1981 X19 and it has had its niggles but great to drive I have replaced some part s it goes better now but still suffering from stalling at times

[@x19australia]

Great to hear you're watching from Ireland. We all love our little X1/9 globally. Hopefully, you can work out what's going on with the stalling. Check out the X1/9 Facebook groups for help, as they can be a great resource. Thanks for watching.

124 spiders and coupes use the same brake calipers as the late series cars (FI) 1500's.

[@garagemoneypit]

Another great X1/9 video - love them, and they've inspired me to look for another one. Would you be able to share a link to the radio you fitted? That radio seems like a great option not only for X1/9s, and it doesn't look as garish as most of the contemporary single din headunits.

[@x19australia]

Thanks. Sure, no problem www.ebay.com.au/itm/175513807365

@@x19australia thank you!

Great video ! I noticed that the seat cloth had been changed , may I know where to get the cloth ? I live in Taiwan ,I also heve a 1988 X1/9 .

[@x19australia]

Thanks glad to hear you enjoyed it. The seats are original and were not replaced. This is a one owner car. The passenger seat is rarely used and the driver seat normally has a cushion on it so they’re in really good condition. There were some Bertone’s that had different cloth maybe yours is a different type.
