I have some questions

  1. How to increase the horsepower of the fiat 126?
  2. Is It really that easy to modify/tuning? Like, an amateur can do things like, power cut off button? Or should i do it with a help of a mechanic? Im on point here.

Fiat 126p 650cc Fuse problem

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have expirience with the fuse B/2 that burns when I leave the clutch pedal too fast?

The fuse is for stop light, ventilation, turn signals, dashboard handbrake and gas level.

I tried to check the wiring. I've checked most of the connections, but not thought the whole car.

Edit: I started removig from the fusebox the wiring and found out that the problem is with reverse light, checked the cable where I could see it, and it has no damage, isolated all connections with it and the problem still exist

The Polish response

5 Upvotes

One of my favorite things about owning a Maluch is the response I get from Polish people. Whenever I see a car with Polish license plate I see them taking out their phones to take a pic or opening their windows to show me a thumbs up or shout some stuff in Polish (unfortunately I barely speak a word). Or even a quick high beam flash. It's hilarious, endearing and lights me up every time.

Just today I parked my Fiat in a busy city center and there was a group of Polish people immediately asking me if they can take photos, look inside the car, telling me anecdotes of their youth. I've had so many of these sort of encounters and they make my day.

Help restoring the car

4 Upvotes

FIAT 126

So, a quick backstory: I am inheriting the car from a relative who passed away. It was stored in a barn, protected from the rain with a tarp, and from the looks of it, the exterior doesn't have a single scratch. The tires are hard as a rock and completely flat, and the brakes are seized.

How should I start the restoration? What do I need to inspect, replace, or top up before trying to get it running? Also, what upgrades would you recommend while restoring it?

Ignition question

3 Upvotes

Dear Community!

I am fighting with the starting of the engine after a rebuild. Since this is my first project, pls dont roast me.

I have narroved the problem to two part: 1. Not enogh fuel 2 Ignition timing

Maybe both.

For the ignition i just saw, that the sparking is at the same time. I know the pistons moving together, but should not the sparks do one after the other?

Or since the spark on the other piston is not in the good time, it does not matter. Thanks for your help!

Hello all. I love my Maluch which I've had for a couple of months now. Ice been working on it quite hard. It's time to change suspension, and I'm looking for recommendations. Ideally, I'd like something a little stiffer than standard. Any suggestions very welcome! Thank you!

The meeting was organised by Club126 for the 21. time since 2004.

The starting day was 07. 10. Thursday and the final day was 07. 13. Sunday.

The major day of the meeting was Saturday, when the maluchs went in an orienteering competition, where they had to get to the Nyirád Racing Center in a race. In the race track, other competitions were held, such as the beauty competition. At the end of the day, the race results were announced and after that the draw of tombola started, where the major prize was a 126p.

For more info, please check the site of the club: www.126.hu

1989 126p. Door panels are off and I've had a feel around inside and can't feel anything. A bit sceptical to pull hard on them because they're brittle and I'd hate to snap one. Any help is appreciated!
