Introduction

I always thought that the Bravo is such a beautiful car and would look amazing in Abarth livery. So I set out on this project which I have really enjoyed doing. I also really love the hidden exhausts rather than the twin pipes on the back also which is why I have no plans to change the back end of the box. Currently Running at a "restricted" 175BHP and 209ft/lb of torque, it currently has more torque than the 695 Tribute 500!

So i've slowly been doing work to my Bravo over the last 1.5years! Thought it was finally time to post up whats been done and get some opinions! Won't be for everyone but welcome all opinions! :D

So I started with my 150 T-Jet below (as standard)

So my first modification was Hid's which were 4300k's:

Then I got my GSR installed and remapped:

I have some restrictive problems with my Cat on the exhaust, which is backing up my exhaust so my power is flat-lining higher up. This will be sorted in the next couple of months. It's plenty fast enough at the moment.

Next I got my Abarth badges and Alloy wheels for my car:

Afterwards I made a new Abarth Key in the new style:

And I got a new engine cover and set of car mats to go with it:

And finally, replaced my steering wheel with a new one from a 500 Abarth:

When I finally get my new Exhaust parts I can also fit my Esseesse boost sensors to regulate the boost better too:

So with that completed so far, some further modifications include:
-New downpipe with sport cat from TMC and Esseesse boost sensors
-Grande Punto Abarth Seats
-Maybe some new Springs and Dampeners
-New Brakes/Tyres

Thanks For Looking! :D

Rigby It's the closest you will get to winning so take it whilst you still can before I get my new car..... haha! Everyone is trying to steal my bits! haha!
ysidfa I know its sad! :( if you have anyone who might be interested I will send you out a list of details of anythign they want when I know what I am writing!


If I installed the turbo etc and all the other bits I had a feeling I would kill it to be honest, it seemed like a good idea, but I will let the next person decide.

I think its too far gone for that Rob, and to be honest I like it as it is and I am looking for someone to carry it on I guess. A used 150 Tjet is like 4.5k (they are getting rarer) and tbh I am only looking for around £4k as it stands now, thats including all the mods etc, considering the seats brand new are like £1000+, I don't think you can be more fair than that. Ill even throw in the turbo if they want it and a Double din stereo/SatNav unit I havent got round to installing yet too. I am not interested about getting loadsa money out of it tbh I just want it to go somewhere nice!

I having been looking at a Maserati, but the fuel costs I think will murder me haha! Unfortunatly there are no decent Italian cars that fill the 250bhp to 350bhp region that are resonably affordable to run lol. I havent fully decided but it will be fun! It will either be Italian or and Audi.... :eek:....TTS..... :p....Coupe....Can't argue with a 2 litre that can do 0-60 in 5.4 secs standard....... :devil:

Alternatively...

buy something fast but conventional and keep the Bravo for tuning/shows/track?

This thought has crossed my mind, but I would need somewhere to keep the Bravo. If I don't get the buyer for it this will probably happen, I am in no rush to get rid of it, I'd love to keep it for the track..... :p

All depends on money! :D
