    Such a cool build there my friend.. no way in hell I'd be capable of producing something like this

    Amazing. This kind of creativity and ingenuity really inspires! I bet that balance and weight distribution on it is incredible. One thing you could consider for the heat blocking for the header is two separate layers with a little bit of air space between them. I think that would do better than one beefy heat blocking layer.

    I've had three. At 12 years old and 1975 my dad brought home my first 1968 850 spider. Said kid you want to pay for the car or do you want to pay for the parts. Told him I'd pay for both and he said that ain't what I asked you kid now I'm going to ask one more time choose wisely. That was my dad. So I paid for the car $650. He paid for all the parts and over the course of a year I had taken out and labeled every single screw cable lever glass and seals bearings everything cleaned categorized labeled and reassembled by me with instruction from him. Now that's the way to teach a kid how to love an automobile. And I love him greatly for this wisdom handed down from father to son and perhaps Sunday God willing I will have the opportunity to do this with my children.

    I had one of these 850 spiders back in the day. Most fun street usable car I ever had. I loved that I could use the whole engine on the street; run it up to redline, etc, without getting a ticket. I love yours even more. Looks like great fun

    I don't know how it shifts gears, but you could try with quickshifter for them hill rides...both hands on the steering wheel and faster shifts...you can push it a bit more, and enjoy some more adrenaline rushes :D.

    Have discussed the concept of a 850 Spider with a motorcycle engine swap many times with friends almost always after a few beers.. would personaly prefered a Ducati or Aprilia engine but i'm happy someone have made it IRL 😅

  • @BigElCat
    @BigElCat ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool. My next door neighbor had a GSXR that was equipped with an air actuated clutch and shifter. He could shift up or down at the push of a button. You could get paddles on the steering column. It requires a tiny air compressor, and a small air tank. He had nitrous injection, too.

  • @thomassmith2239
    @thomassmith2239 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the 850! In college I worked for a Fiat mechanic who refused to work on 850's because every time one was in the shop for simple work something else would always break. Looks like you are replacing all the weak Fiat bits. I also grew up down the hill from you at Torrance Beach and learned never to speed in PV!

    Well done Jared! That thing screams! Was wondering how it was progressing in your several week absence. My wife was watching out of the corner of her eye on the couch and she knows your videos inspired me to buy an Islander and now looking for an S800. She just said, “don’t even think about it” (Oh and by the way, I did see Hagerty sampled your video on the s600 drivetrain rebuild. Respect!)

  • @GeneLinetsky-GAL
    @GeneLinetsky-GAL ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Jared - amazing indeed! Way better than the unit that inspired you to build this FIAT - you have great solutions and looks. Three thumbs up for the way you implemented the shifter, the clutch and the reverse -- that other shifter with the hand operated clutch and gear change just doesn't look good in a car.
    I'd only say that GIPro gear indicators can be unreliable - I've got one on my Honda, and it broke down after three years.

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for the heads up on the indicator, it was way more expensive then I expected and the quality is not very good. But at least it works for now.

  • @tinmeister356
    @tinmeister356 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Way to go Jared! I haven't seen your channel for a while but i did see a couple of your build videos on the Fiat. Are the gear ratios from the motorcycle good for your car? How does it accelerate and what do you think is the top speed? What about cornering and handling? Lots of questions!
    BTW, are you going to attend the Porsche 356 Registry's West Coast Holiday in Paso Robles this September? Hope to see you and your 356 there! - Dan from NorCal

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I will be at the WCH in Paso Robles with the 356. Look forward to meeting you.
      On the Fiat the gear ratio is much different now due to the diff and the chain drive. Not sure on the top speed yet, handling is good now and should be even better once the suspension is set up properly.

    Nice build brother, do you have to make special connections for the led lights? Sorry about the ticket, it’s so difficult to take it easy I get it drive safe and I’ll catch you on the next one.

    • @Jerod_Helt
      @Jerod_Helt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No special connections needed but you need to replace your old flasher relay with a new one designed to work with led lights. The new flasher is about $12. I put links in the description.

    • @billh230
      @billh230 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Jerod_Helt Yah, it'll be electronic. The reason why a standard flasher doesn't work is an LED doesn't draw enough current to heat the bi-metal strip inside and trip the contacts on/off.
