Couple of weeks ago Lee, spider needed a respray and rear suspension rebuild neither of which are cheap so decided it was time to say goodbye.
I'd had her nearly 8 yrs and we were like an old married couple so it was a bit of a wrench, she even went into limp mode on the way to the dealers the day I collected the 500.
Don't think she wanted to leave.....






Onwards and upwards though



And it's got a turbo Al Wink

Nice, I do like those esp in Abarth form. Looks like a hoot to drive.

My wife bought a Black Abarth from new 4 years ago, brilliant little car and very little has gone wrong after 50k miles, I drove a 190Bhp AHM one last year, in all honesty it was too much ooomph when the turbo kicked in, the 135bhp is certainly more linear to use chucking it in the corner's.

I have to agree 190bhp is probably a bit much for normal use.
Only had it a few weeks so not really at one with it yet, finding it a little nervous, twitchy when pushing on a bit

Just watched the video's Al, tyhe only one with the car driving looks slow and very tame for a 400Bhp front wheel drive monster, I'm not convinced his set up is working correctly.

someone with a youtube account should ask him to post some up.
probably just spin up all the gears lol
I've heard that a turbo'd 16v doesn't last very long.

I think he's probably frightened to give it some incase it explodes...
I do like the sound of that supercharger though

Gearbox 1st then the bigend (unless he has gone stainless steel).
Plus the inlet manifold is restricting the airflow.
