Just been looking thru the massive list of wheels on ratdat.com and was wondering about what wheels to put on the x1/9 I'm getting tonight  I'm thinking these Wed Sports Racing Forg and a bumperless look like this  obviously finding those wheels is either going to be hard or impossible especially in fiat pattern , but somthing else similar could suffice anyone else got any ideas guys all comments or potatochops welcome lol gotta see if it can get in it too at 6 ft tall haha |

Just spotted this one too but I don't think you'd get away with it on our roads without bigger arches. ;D  But you should get away with a trailer like this though.  |

Ronal Turbos.
They come in 4x98, and I like to suggest Ronal Turbos at every possible opportunity. ;D

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

hmmm liking the idea of some turbo's not realy looking for engine swaps tho, the small engine small sports car thing is what appeals to me realy and the simplicity of the lil 4 cyl maybe some jdm arches tho and a lil splitter? maybe a turbo if funds and a project engine happen lol |

Very jealous of you. I'd have loved that X1/9 if I had the space and money. Hope it is as clean as it looks.
EDIT:
+1 for Ronal Turbos. or ATS classics.

Had one of these as a daily years ago. Great fun to drive,just like a large go-cart.Allen bolts on drive shafts kept coming loose and it rotted before my eyes despite looking clean externally!! Would have another tommorrow if funds allowed.

and a few weeks later she had a crash. It was a total write off and was rotten as a peach in hidden areas 
She was lucky to get of it alive! Hope yours isn't too bad underneath as they're infamous for rot
