Hello everyone. I have a couple of issues I would like some guideance with regarding my 2015 manual Abarth. I doubt these two problems are related to...
 

Tiers already balanced. In what way? Did he just look at the balance weights on the wheel or did he actually spin them on his machine?
 

Ok... When I did all the work on the front end, I brought the front tires to get balanced. The tire shop told me they were already balanced. The car...

It sounds like it could be a transmission issue or a problem from the car sitting for a while. It's a good idea to have a mechanic check it out.

    Spent the afternoon in the driveway. Installed my Madness springs and Koni shocks. The ride difference is amazing. So much happier now.

      Ride is firmer, which I like, but not harsh at all. Handles way better now and there's no nosedive at all when braking hard. There is some scraping in the back when I hit a bump at speed but its the tire touching the inner fender plastic, not the fender itself. I replaced the bumpstops so it compresses more than before.

        When I had my 300 SRT repainted, I had no idea at the time I would buy a Fiat that matched almost exactly.

            Thanks! The 300 is a 2006 that used to be my daily but when I bought my Wrangler in 2013, it's just my weekend/show car now. It has 135k on her and still runs like new. Best car I've ever owned. The fenders were made by a friend, custom cut and welded from steel fenders. The wheels are custom two-piece forged billet from USW, 22x9.5 front and 22x10.5 in the rear. The roof is all glass with a stainless steel cap and she rides on BC Racing coilovers and Hotchkis swaybars.

                    Wow that's an impressive setup. Amazing fab work on the fenders too. You'll have to entertain me with one last pic of the roof on the 300. The wheel taste in your driveway has my vote

                      Lol! Thanks! I guess I shouldn't show you my bikes then. As you can see, I have a charcoal theme going on. :-)

                        Got the windows tinted today. I think I'm done with the mods for a bit.

                          Those are Competizione CV-2?
                          Do you by chance know how much they weigh?

                          They look great.
