500 (Abarth) Abarth 595 Turismo Grigio Record Metallizzato.

The Pretender · 29-11-2020

17 inch winter wheel set-up.

The Pretender · 12-12-2020

Those Conti TS 850P are just great, very happy with them, very very good in heavy rain, and excellent grip overall.

The Pretender · 13-12-2020

Did some dampening behind the rear interior panels to improve sound from the speakers.
And what a difference that made, even with stock speakers.

The Pretender · 03-01-2021

Blacked out the Airfilter cover, to get a more stealth look under the bonnet.

The Pretender · 03-01-2021

All installed again.

The Pretender · 17-01-2021

Extra modification made to the Airbox, air flow volume increase in the lower L-bow before the Airfilter.

The opening at the end of the L-bow right before the filterbox is now almost twice the size it was before.

It can now handle airflow for well beyond 200 hp.

Good idea, but do you think that this modification has still an effect? Because you already drilled those additional holes, after L-bow.

Future dyno testing will tell.

I plan to dyno test all 3 solutions, first test with blocked L-bow upgrade and taped off 11 holes, and then with L-bow unblocked and then with the 11 holes also open.
To see what the differences are.

Olliver · 20-01-2021

In Germany there is a Tuner (G-Tech), that also applies these holes to the air-box from a certain tuning stage on.

There are many Abarth tuner, that do these holes upgrade, i think more smaller holes is the better solution.
Those holes make the airbox also more noisy.

I think this is often a thoroughly desirable effect...

Two questions regarding your Brembo conversion:

1. Was it necessary to install also a bigger master cylinder?

2. Was there an update for the ABS/ESC-control module necessary, due to shifted brake balance?

I´m thinking also about the 305mm discs, but not with the Brembo calipers...

I would say No and No.

Almost the end of winter, soon back on Summer wheels. 😂

The Pretender · 1 Week Ago

Decided to make the original Turismo summer wheels white.

Don't know how it will look on the Abarth.

Did not like the Bi-Color look.
