The Complete Guide to Modification
for Competition of the Fiat
X1/9
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Modifications of the type described
herein are not suitable for vehicles li-
censed for street use. They will also ren-
der the vehicle illegal for street use, as
Federal law restricts the removal or mod-
ification of any part of Federally required
emission control systems. Further, many
states have enacted laws with various pen-
alties for tampering with, or otherwise
modifying, any required emission or noise
control system.
Though SCCA General Competition
Rules have been taken into account in
the preparation of these recommenda-
tions,
it
is the responsibility of each indi-
vidual owner or driver to ensure that his
car conforms to the SCCA rules. Neither
Fiat Motors of North America nor its
dealers can be held responsible in connec-
tion with any protest or disputes resulting
from illegal modification of parts.
Fiat vehicle and parts warranties are
voided if the vehicle or part is used for
competition or if they fail as a result of
modification. Competition parts or as-
semblies described herein as offered by
PBS Engineering or any other vendor are
sold "as is" without any warranty what-
soever. The entire risk as to quality and
performance of such parts is with the
buyer.
INTRODUCTION

ume has been prepared by PBS Engineer-
