17" by 7" with 235/40 Nittos. It fits nicely, no rubbing and fills the openings.

Auto Ricambi just installed a pre-release version of the Euro Drive Lite courtesy of Eurocompulsion onto our 124 Spider and it feels really strong. It is about 200hp and pulls much better throughout the range. The stock Spider felt under powered in stock form, now it is like it should have been from FIAT. There will be options coming soon for higher gains but this is a really nice start. Well done Eurocompulsion and team. Auto Ricambi will be teaming up with these guys to offer the very best for the 124 Spider.

This car keeps getting better and better. We will have this Spider on display at the FIAT FreakOut. If you ask nice, we might even let you drive it. The only requirement is that you must have already driven a stock Spider so you can feel the difference.

The wrap and wheels on this car looks really fantastic, and classic -- not overdone. Excellent job!

Have you given any though to wrapping the windshield frame (ala the Abarth)? The stock looks great either way, and probably adds more to the 'classic'. Another option could be to wrap about an inch of the windshield frame all around so that the stainless look appears 'thinner' like a vintage 124.

I was considering the 124 Abarth, but after seeing your modest mods, including the Exhaust which is VERY reminiscent in sound to my 500 Abarth, I may go with a Lusso and then tune to my liking.

Very nice! I'm very interested in your mods. Let us know when it's available to check-out in the Dallas-area.

New 124 Spider goes to FFO!

Great time at the FIAT FreakOut with the new 124 Spider. It was the only privately entered new Spider in the show. We gave lots of test drives/rides and the overwhelming opinion is that this Spider is really cool. Everyone had lots of good things to say. We even did a few burn outs in the parking lot.


We traveled back roads all of the way up, even a few gravel roads.


Won first place for our efforts.

Had a bit of rain but it was all good.




Nicole drove our Spider and approved of our upgrades.


We got really dirty on the way up, proof that this Spider is meant to be driven.


We even did some racing on Woodward, fun!

I didnt notice until this picture that the abarth has a different rear bumper style than the lusso and classica. If you go to the fiatusa website you will see two different setups.
classica and lusso each have a single reflector between the tail pipe and wheel.
the abarth has an additional cutout feature, making two features between the wheel and tail pipe.
In addition the lusso and classica has a straight line above the exhaust and all the way across.
The abarth has a wavy line that goes up above the exhaust.

The abarth rear end is definitely "sportier" in this area.

You can also see this in the picture above with the abarth on the left, and lusso on the right.

Dyno numbers!

The new Spider runs great with the Euro Drive Lite. 200 horsepower to the wheels!
