Styling Modified 500's

[The Twins]

Anyone modified their 500? Let's see some pics.

I've done quite a few mods to my 500 Twinair - all using OEM parts.

I think my TA is more in the spirit of the original Abarth than the modern 'real' Abarth.

Just fitted these : )

My mods are mostly less is more. The goal is a 10% weight saving. Overview, with Marelli Carbon Antenna (this had to be modded and machined to be lighter than stock ).

Turning full nuts down to half nuts:

Hollow drilled screws:

Wiper linkage drilled with Ti screws:

Misc parts lightened and weighed (before):

After:

Ti Screws:

I've done more but you get the idea. It's all logged in a spreadsheet, I'm up to about 35kg so far.

Wow! That's an amazing weight saving.

At around 73kg for 6' there's not much room to move there.

I also have special light weight shoes, and wear light clothes

Never more than 2 blobs of fuel in the tank at any one point also I take it?

I like to track my MPG so the fuel tank gets filled, but I usually run it down to 0.5-1 litre remaining, otherwise it's like carrying ballast

I keep the washer, overflow and oil all on the min marks though.

Mods to come soon: LiFe/ Supercap hybrid battery, TWM Shifter (way too heavy stock, I need to CAD the thing and have the cage CNC'd in alloy), Marelli 105hp tuning box, and I'm going to try my hand at Ti welding
