r/fiat124

Just curious if anyone knows what part this is so I can order it again. Don’t know if this is common 🫩

I've heard all the 124 manuals use a Mazda NC gearbox. Is this plug looking concerning for ten years on the road and 45k miles.

Around 4 months ago, I posted in the Reddit that I had bought a 124 as my first ever car, and as a daily driver. And I wanted to provide some updates on it.

It’s the best car I’ve ever driven and it’s been a lot of fun. The responsiveness, the noise, and the fact that the top comes down makes it great. So much fun to drive and I’ve had no issues with it. I’ve been religious with oil changes, cleaning, and regular check ins.

Only complaint is the blind spots gained when the top is up. Obviously top up isn’t ideal, but the missus does get overwhelmed by the sun sometimes and I’m forced to go top up. Just sucks but it is what it is.

The CarPlay mod is also insanely worth it. Best thing I could’ve done. Works seamlessly besides the occasional connection issue.

Also, I am glad to say I haven’t caused any crashes, endangered others, etc as some folks were worried about. It’s been a time of no incidents and honestly, it’s just such a fun drive there’s no reason to take extreme risk. Plus I have things to live for that stop me from going 110 or whatever.

Anyways, thank everyone for their past words of wisdom and if anyone is thinking about buying one of these masterpieces, do it! You get compliments everywhere you go, it turns heads, but most of all it is insanely fun to drive yourself.
