What did you do to your Abarth today..?

[126pwannabe]

Got some new wheels: Aodhan AH-02 Hyper Black centers, 17x8 +35 4x100. Running wobbles with no spacers and fit is real good.

Tires are Federal 595 RS-R's 215x40x17

I really like the new look. Gonna look even better with the new suspension mods coming soon!!!

and I mean this as a compliment, but how thoughtfully you've put the rest of the car together, I would argue that your car deserves real multi-piece wheels - not knock offs!

Thanks but, I am extremely happy with these wheels, they look good and price was good. When the tires were mounted and balanced, my son (works at discount tire) said they were so well balanced that they barely added any weight to all the wheels. He said he has never seen 4 wheels balance up so good with so little weight.

I removed the rear seats and bought some carpet and thin plywood in preparation for completing the rear seat delete mod. I moved my radar detector from the lower part of the windshield up to behind the rear view mirror and wired it up to the cockpit light assembly. No more dangling wires.

These are pretty sweet looking, and the price seems pretty legit. I threw a set in my cart to think about, and was emailed the next day with a coupon for 15% off my order... FYI for anyone in the market.

I've been looking for a set of steelies for winter tires, but now i'm thinking i'll grab a set of these and use my OEM's as a dedicated winter set

I had a coolant leak in my 2013 500 Sport with 115,000 miles. Turned out to be the water pump. Replaced the timing belt and tensioner while it was all there being exposed. Needed a special cam locking tool. ( new toys) Oh, and the air filter too. The spark plugs will be in a couple of weeks.
I had to replace worn out, humming loudly, rear wheel bearings over the past summer....

Late update but during the first week of January I replaced my smic with the atm front mount intercooler.

The intercooler was relatively easy to install. The hardest part was getting the new silicone hoses on. The car has been running great after the Install, a completely different experience to the smic I had that where 8 years old and had several small boost leaks and one large one that I had fixed temporarily until I could afford an fmic.

I can’t wait to see how the intercooler does in the summer heat. It did arrive to me damaged slightly which is a bummer, especially considering the price but I needed my car up and running right away.

Here are some photos.

Oh geez... I just saw that the ATM Intercooler End Tanks are routed below the Radiator... Aren't you afraid of busting this intercooler up due to any lower front impact?

Whether it be a huge city bumper or a large dip in a road? The front ends are already low on the ABARTH.

I definitely have to be careful, my stock smic busted the plastic end tank because of a pot hole out here in Illinois. To be honest, I haven’t thought about it to much, I have been having so much fun with the car. But thank you for the reminder can’t get complacent.

I have a new set of G Force 5 Point Harnesses for the Drivers Side, and the SPC Rear Shim Kit that I will install next weekend.

I took her for a quick run up the highway.
She drives so friggin good!!!
I blew off my boost signal line again, I sealed that line up so it won't blow off again and cause the ECM to flip out.

I am going to drive her to the office tomorrow. Shakedown before the race season starts in a couple of weeks.
