Stilo Stilo 115 jtd abarth kit

Introduction

Hi all, thought i would join and introduce myself and show you my new ride/runabout. Normally buy petrol turbos ie, Ren 21 turbo x2, Ren 21 quadra x2, gt4, rover 620ti x2 but now need a more economical motor so bought this.

Its a 3 door Stilo 115 jtd, with abarth skirts, 17 inch wheels, eibach springs all round, i think its been lowered 30mm or so. Bodywork is spot on, very clean.
It drives very well and is quite fast, not sure if its been previously mapped or not as it does shift.

Bits that do need doing are the rear axle bushes as it clonks over potholes and have been put as advisories on last 2 mots.
Also got a very annoying vibration/rattle on passenger side have had a look at the mount but it looks ok.

Other than that its pretty good, however i will be removing the 2nd cat and changing the back box to help with performance.
Im also in need of a passenger seat as mine has been butchered in the past. Cheers............

Cheers for the good comments, i agree i think the wheels do suit the car and set it of well. I just got to get the rear bushes done soon and sort out the annoying vibration and i will be a very happy bunny....................
 
Update on my motor.
Rear bushes have now been done and is all nice and quiet now. Also I have recently bought a spares or repair 1.6 Stilo with black leather and have been transfering the leather interior into mine as well as some other bits and bobs from that car.

One thing i would like an answer to though is, can i use the gearbox mount, the one under the battery from the 1.6 for my 1.9 jtd as the one on that car looks recent and is the updated version (chunky rubber). Looks like it will fit to me. Part number 46811879
Many thanks...................
