nice to see her back on here :D Jack will be sad.. I'm waiting for my Tango to appear on here also...


you need to tell us of your plans :D


Basically as with any boosted car...more boost lol. So far there is two plans for this, short term build my own hybrid (still working on this need a dead turbo). The second is a much bigger turbo/fuel setup.




please make a video with the sports cat also what make is it ?


The sports cat is a TMC 200 cell cat. what do you want from the video, sound etc?

Yes please, idle, rev, would be great
 
What do you mean?




Probally going to be hard to explain without sound..




on overrun with sports cats/decats you get like a spluttering/chesty cough sound coming through the exhaust.. .


Now im making myself look stupid :')


Ah I know what you mean, yeah sports cat basically sounds just like decat once it's warmed up
 
Just A Quick update its been a little while, Not much to exciting to report. The GP is pretty much just having routine service checks etc at the min.


Tho some new Forge Braces to fit, I will try and get these on after doing the servicing done on my own car :)


Here's a little pic until there fitted,

Quick update for the little fiat, Managed to get round to servicing the car and fitting the forge braces today.


wow fiat put the oil filter in a bad place lol!


Cambelt, water pump and coolant were done a couple of months ago, so all that was really left to do were the standard service items. Ended up doing Oil + Filter, Spark plugs and Aux belt


Picture of the Service Parts-

And then the forge Braces..

One thing to note is the belly pan cover doesn't fit back too easy with the braces, but with a little fiddling it does go back on.

by the time I had finshed it was starting to get dark, dam winter!

I'm supprised you had trouble with the under tray, mine fits on fine and mine is spaced down due to the 2.5" exhaust system.. .I cant have the smaller brace fitted though unfortionatly..

and yes. fiat really didn't think about the location of the oil filter... I wonder if there is a drain plug for it.. .
 
Been a while since I've updated this so sorry for that, I've had a few things to do with my own car (non fiat sorry boys an girls).


Not much to add in the way of mods for the GP, Tyre's were getting towards the legal limit. So new set of Conti sport contact 5's were fitted. Down side to this is less spin so more power/torque is needed aha.
