Fun, sunshine, moon and stars blend with a premium audio sound system
1981 Fiat 124 Spider
You discovered a classic Fiat Spider in very good running condition. I have owned and driven this Italian carrozzeria over the past 26 years. The time has come to keep the memories and allow her to zoom into the life of a new Fiat Spider enthusiast.
The after market improvements
High Performance 95amp alternator.
Dual radiator cooling fans, one on each side of the radiator.
High performance brake rotors on all 4 wheels with new brake pads (installed 2020).
Performance air intake filter for optimal fuel air mixture under all driving conditions.
High performance ignition control module.
Set of performance upper and lower control arms (authentic yellow) with durable polyurethane bushings on driver and passenger side.
Sylvania headlight assembly with designated electrical wiring for brighter headlights compared to original.
Panasport light weight 15” wheels.

The wear and tear and other care

New Bosch fuel filter and fuel pump (installed 2022).
New Bosch spark plugs (installed 2022).

New Bosch air flow meter, new distributor, new ignition coil (all installed 2019)

The current odometer reading does not show original miles. I remember the day when I drove that epic milegoing from 99'999 to 0 miles on the odometer reading. A major engine overhaul: new head gasket, valve resetting, Bosch fuel injector cleaning was done in 2011. Back then the engine had about 75'000 original miles on it.
The Unique Feature
A premium car audio system that will play your favorite music from a selection of10 CDs in the CD changer (indeed this is old school and it works every time).The sound is processed through a 30 band active equalizer, 3-way active crossover and then distributed to a total of 16 speakers driven by 5 separate amplifiers seamlessly covering the spectrum from 25Hz (bass) to 32kHz (high notes).
Ready for the EV future
The Fiat Spider convertible can still exist in its timeless design thanks to the engineers at Electric GT who can substitute the gasoline engine with a drop in ready rechargeable electric engine. The gear box, drive train, and chassis design remain unchanged.For enticing possibilities see link:https://electricgt.com/builds/electric-spider-1982-fiat-124-spider/
