:bang: I've nearly owned this 100hp a year and I've been unfortunate with paying out on problems, 1st ever Italian car and more than likely will be the last,
I will say I've enjoyed driving it but coming from jap car background I can see why they call, Fix.It.Again.Tomorrow. I paid £2000 with Milage of 126k, I fill I over paid, :bang:
I've learnt that 100hp burn oil every 1000miles or less.. No leaks. Engine bay gets real hot, no cold air coming in, I've made adjustments so cold air can come in by cutting the grill and adding induction kit, the car had twin exhaust Ragazzon, expensive and real pointless (no power) using alot of fuel with x2 4" tips with 99bhp ?.
Sold that and got custom 2" tip single exhaust what wasn't cheap. But works much better and fuel consumption is greater... Its had AC delete in its life and no hot air, took it to fiat specialist, common faults the plastic flappy panel snapped, replaced with metal spindal £265 later.. Someone decided lower it with springs and not done the rest of suspension upgrades, every time hit pot hole alignment goes :bang: looking into getting original suspension very soon. It has abarth 500 interior front and rear seats, steering wheel, buttons don't work as not wired up.. Bigger mirrors in red that I do like, calipers have been sprayed red, green stuff pads on rear and yellow on front. It has halo lights whats pretty cool but not wired up to work Apparently the rear beams get rusty and can snap, mines okay atm, I may be bickering about 100hp but I feel I've been real unlucky with it so far and I can't sell it back out for what I want as auto trader has said £610 atm has 137k and I want my money back, has some service history but no proof, had cambelt changed at122k. Done service this year. An engine with 73k goes for £1500. My insta is @that_panda_100HP
