Hi,
I'm shortly looking to create a 500c Abarth and this forum looks like it's full of interesting technical info, so thought I might as well join up...
I'll be asking some daft newbie questions on the 500 / Abarth forums no doubt, in my quest to discover whether turning a 1.2 or 1.4 500c into an Abarth is a viable option before I spend any serious cash.
I've got quite a few years experience tinkering with classics (including Alfas, for my sins), sticking old, rusty thingies back together and building Subaru frankencars; my latest project involved taking bits of 4 different Subarus from 3 different continents, persuading the electronics to communicate and turning a fairly mundane 140bhp wagon into a 350+ bhp monster. But since I only wanted an extra 20bhp to make overtaking a little easier before the modding bug well and truly bit, it's ended up a little too frisky / thirsty for everyday use, so I'm now planning something slightly less ridiculous
