My Abarth 500 With A Difference!

[Cumminz]

Hi there,

Just a short introduction...

My name is Mikey and I stay in Dundee. Since passing my driving test last year, I have owned two cars. One being a brand new (at the time) 1.2 500S. I modified the car a great bit but quickly got bored of the gutless power. I then moved onto an Abarth after owning my first car for 5 months.

Simon actually sold me my new car (a member on here from Dundee)


Just registered to this forum today but have owned my Abarth 500 since January this year. Since buying it, I intended on keeping it standard but these plans have been short lived!

It's a bit different to other Abarths and does stand out! I hope to see some of you at the Italian Car Show at Cairnie at the end of this month

Here are a few pictures of the car!

I have some major plans...including a bigger turbo and upgraded front mount interxooler but that will all come in time. In summary though, I love the car!

Will upload more information later including plans and specs. It's fortune doing it all on my phone!

I must admit I did contemplate getting side stripes etc when I first got it but I like how the car stands out, especially with the emblems removed from the rear panels. It is very plain looking but it definitely goes in its favour (I think)

Modifications/upgrades so far (big and small)

ronal r50 aero wheels (16") with Toyo Proxes
novitec Lowering springs (these will change to coilovers)
team Heko wind deflectors
15% tints on back 3 windows
Chrome mirror caps
Stubby aerial
Smoked side repeaters
Red/clear rear lights
Silvertec bulbs all round
Marelli bombardone group n exhaust system (might be getting upgraded...can't seem to get the right tailpipe matching the left)
Piaa drls
Pressed plates
Aluninium fuel cap/oil filler
gtt induction kit
Gtt battery cover
Gtt coolant cover
Forge intake hose
Competizone gear knob
Competizone sill covers
Metal pedals

That's all I can think of currently!

Future mods include:

New exhaust
Remap
Forge BOV
Front mount intercooler
Turbo actuator
Pinto turbo
Coilovers
Sabelts
Removal of rear seats

Many thanks!!

Just booked my car in for a new exhaust at pipe dynamics!

Two 3.5" carbon fiber slash cut tips, with straight pipes so should sound the same as my bombardone but sit a bit neater and look stealthy!!

Will do, If you see somebody in a suzuki tooting and waving at you, don't be (too) alarmed, it's probably me :laugh:

 

[Ckem247]

Turbo back or cat back?
