Great looking ride, glad you were taken care of in a timely fashion. Can't wait to see your future mods. Drive safe Charles.

Wow, that was fast...

Did they have this one on the lot?

No, this one was delivered from Miami, about 230 miles.

Congratulations, great to know you're back in an Arbath

I swear every time you post a pic my Mini JCW gets a little more nervous about being traded in for the piccolo Italiano

You traded in your Mini Cooper for one of these babies?! I don't blame you!




In all seriousness, within a couple months or so, this car should be pushing right around 230 hp and 260 ft lbs, if not more. It'll put up a good fight against most anything on the road... Unless Ivan comes by in something. LOL

Glad you are up and about so quickly

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Just installed a new short shifter adapter this morning. Wow, what a difference that made! The shifter feels great now, firm, crisp and precise.








And the "fun" pics!

Charles.......Great photos. It is clear to see you are enjoying the new Abarth.

After your comments about how much you loved this car I had to go and take one out the other day.

They are a tremendous amount of fun. And your comments about the shifter are absolutely spot on - the upgrade there is almost a necessity. Do you have an upgrade to shorten the clutch?

Those things aside, the little Abarth loves to be thrown around corners - the steering is very well articulated and understeer is virtually nonexistent (rare). I also quite enjoyed the seats.

Hi Dan,

Thanks, I am enjoying it! Since my stereo system is pretty much where I want it at the moment, I'm focusing more on the car, getting it where I kind of want it while I still can before those monthly payments start kicking in next month. LOL

On that note, I have another intake coming just like the one I had before as well as a piggyback ECU. Shortly after that, a bored out throttle body and large front mount intercooler to replace the two stock tiny side mount ones.
