Your ingenuity, skill and solutions through this building process have been remarkable. You have lifted that little unassuming 850 shopping cart from a whatsit to the little sportscar Fiat meant it to be. Looks great! Fantastic soundtrack! Love it!
I used to rude a Yamaha R1 motorcycle and boy, the sound of this car really brings back memories. Awesome job! Totally bad ass.
I know what you mean, I closed my eyes and imagined myself riding Jacks GSXR1000 through the twisties again.
Sounds beautiful! You should bring that thing to East Tennessee and run it on the Tail of the Dragon! 11 miles, 318 curves.
That sound is hypnotizing in a most beautiful mechanical way. What's next on your to do list?
Yeah! So many things to say. Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve seen on CZcams. Those mods you made definitely seemed to be well engineered and needed.
All these things lead to miles of smiles 😊
Made my day! What a great conversion. Thanks for improving the shortcomings. I want to drive it. The perfect size/style car for that drive.
Sounds great. That was thrilling. Loctite and Permatex make a windshield repair kit to get rid of that bulls eye in the windshield.
You and your channel are criminally underrated, do you know idea how much I look forward to these videos. I wish this was a proper swap kit lol I would do this in a heartbeat
That road was Definitely made for motorcycles, so your halfway there. One of the best Bike engine swaps i have watched on CZcams.
It turned out great!
Quite a "garage engineering" feat.
Well done.
I always enjoy your videos, and look forward to any more content you post.
Thanks, and Woof to Walter.
This is such a great car and build! I am so impressed with you craftsmanship and knowledge on every project. From stock to extreme customization you are an inspiration. Almost inspiring enough to get me off my butt and start on my EV MGB 😁
Big fan of your work, my friend
Excellent solutions, very happy that you can wring it out and enjoy it! (It IS half Suzuki now so you NEED to install some garish blue and red anodised bits :) )
🌴 So after watching the complete build process and seeing the finished car I couldn’t help myself while sitting in my recliner saying that’s freak’n bad azz! I’ve been wanting to do something like this for years and when I came across your videos it was hell ya ! Most swap video’s don’t show the full process and you give a step by step view on how it was done , and it was great having Walter there for supervision 😄 I’m to old to take on a build like this now but it was sure fun watching you for fill your ambition, not only the build part but watching you enjoy the car on the open road , way to go 👍👊🏼
Thanks for the kind words. This was a really fun project and the car is a blast to drive.
Wow, that was a lot of good work you had time for, now you are longer caught in making regular weekly YT updates 👍
Awesome build!
Good one with the intake. I recently experienced this with my scooter engine swap. The original big airbox didn't fit, so I installed a cone filter. But it was so loud! I couldn't believe it, louder than the exhaust. So now I'm making up a smaller custom airbox too.
Wow, that is great. Hope to see you on a drive in a much slower Fiat soon.
Great to see you back testing and changing your engineering for better ride and cornering your and inspiration to us all
Very nice job.
Always enjoy your content.
Love the improvements! Great job!!
Nice I'm doing the exact same engine swap except with a 71 spider 850. But I'll be doing a toyota rear end set up like the dwarf cars use in racing.
My friend put a 215 CID aluminum V8 in a triumph spitfire. Pretty decent job snappy little car. I've seen six cylinder 850 Spyder I believe the motor was from a dino Ferrari.
Nice point of view… fantastic car !
A lot of Fun !Thanks Straight Ahead ✌😎
Too cool 😂
Zoom zoom , On steroids !
When can I expect delivery ?
Lol
Very cool car! Well done.
Looks like a heap of fun mate. Nice project.
Thanks Jeff. I like problem solving and this build was full of little problems to solve. I would love to watch you build a motorcycle powered car👍
This thing is awesome
saludos y abrazos desde
CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO
Nice machine you built. Awesome.
That thing is SICK!
Now you can appreciate what it takes to sort out a production model R&D is a continuous endeavor.
VERY impressive project! Having owned three 850 spiders in the past, I cant help but feel you can do a lot with the original layout and a 2.0L fiat engine - but I'm a bit of a purist.
Awesome build....have fun!!!
Damn that sounds good!
Very nice result! Paddle shifter next?
Hello Jared! It's been awhile since I've seen one of your videos, they just aren't popping up. I have noticed that when I go to my "NOTIFICATIONS", your videos are there. You've done quite amount of modifications on this last project and it seems to have worked well for you. There is another You-tuber I watch call "BUILT OFFICIAL", he primarily does a lot of modifications, You two are my favorites because you both are very studious in your approach to accomplishing a goal, something i need to work on. Anyway, I look forward to watching and catching up with all the videos I have missed. A devout fan of you work and knowledge and the fact that you share it with all your fans.
What road is that?
Incredible build! Carlo is smiling down at you and this car. 😎
Very cool build mate
LOVE THIS CAR! God smacked!
Very cool 😂
Love it.
Epic Build !
"...sounds smooth and really grate" he says, while wearing ear plugs...
Nice upgrades!
Like Forza...but in real life lol. Incredible build
Wow that is so cool, and how you know how to dial it in like that, I would love to do that too one day
friend, first I want to congratulate you on your channel and also for sharing your projects!!! I live in CABO SAN LUCAS. AND IT WOULD BE VERY NICE TO HAVE THIS PROJECT AROUND HERE.. ASKED ... WOULD YOU SELL IT???? GREETINGS FROM CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO.
Congratulations to you! You have built yourself a world class sports car! You can drive it around all day long and never see another one like it! The ride was fantastic, a lot more exciting than the Model T I bet. Don't get me wrong, I love the Model T too. What gear were you in going up the hill? By the way, I hope little Walter is doing well.
Mostly 2nd gear but sometimes into 3rd
Love the improvements, the sound is so smooth nice 🔥
I was wondering what are the shocks you are using now front & back ?🤔
I’m using QA1 shocks
@@Jerod_Helt Thank you man ! I have an s600 and was wondering were to check options for an update/modernization 😁😅
The vents on the hood might be too close to the windshield where high pressure builds up. It might be not so efficient
Jealous of your talents
I bought my first car in 78. It was a white 71 850 Spider. My GF's father came to look it over cause he had experience fixing his Triumph GT6. Drove it and looked it over and said it looks alright, so I bought it for $300. All I had.. The seller even delivered it. Finally got my license a few months later and registered it. Brought it in to get inspected and they said it needed brakes. Got a family friend to do all the brakes for $80. Brought it back in to Fiat for inspection and they now said JUNK it. All the unibody sheet metal where the front suspension mounted to the body was crumbling from cancerous ROT! Fiat still owes me a convertible... And NOT one of their POS. 7 years old. What a shame. Hugo was a better car.
It’s a great project. Do you mind my asking what the budget added up to?
I think I have around $8-10k in it
👍👍✌️
great work but wouldn't you enjoy that engine more in a 500lb motorcycle frame than a 1500lb go cart?
That to much power on two wheels for me
Where the hell did you find scales with a rebel flag on it? Damn.
Facebook marketplace place😂
@Jerod_Helt I’ve already got a Gixxer 1000 and an RPM FNR box in a mini buggy. Thinking about building a road car. Currently the most interesting prospect in the classifieds is an 850 Spider, which led me here. Would you build that car again or look for a different donor?
I would definitely build this car again. The 850 is a great option for a donor car.
@@Jerod_Helt thanks!
GSXR1000 would go well in such a light car as a Fiat 850. Btw what do you do for reverse?
I used a reversing gearbox 👍
I have a small mini truck I want to put the motorcycle in it's a Subaru sambar I want to put the motorcycle engine are you in New Jersey or New York
I’m on the West Coast
i think every one else has it wrong forwed for up make far more sense forwed for faster back for slower seem right to me think every one else is backwards
