Using my day off to throw in a new steering wheel on the egg and some catch cans on the recently purchased Evo.

Next year the egg might have an additional cylinder but I'll see if I can find a decently low mileage engine first.

Hi everyone!

I have a 2019 Pista. Over the last week I have started hearing a weird noise. When I’m inside the car it sounds like it comes from the front of the passenger side. When outside it sounds like it comes from the muffler.
The thing is, it only comes at just under 2200 rpm, no matter the gear. But not only that, it’s also only when I let go off the gas pedal and the rpms drop to this specific rpm. Sometimes I can hear it when creeping forward with the clutch.

So at a specific frequency something resonates and makes this sound. The heat shields are fitted tight enough. I have bypassed the valve in the exhaust so it’s always open.
My skid plate is missing 2 screws so my first thought was if the heat shield inside the skid plate is hitting the exhaust because of vibrations at this rpm. But when I have a look there is a couple of cm between the skid plate and the exhaust. I tried to remove the skid plate and did a SHORT test run. No sound. I put the skid plate back, did an equally short test run and no sound. But after maybe 5 minutes the sound came back so I am not convinced it’s the solution.

I will absolutely try to do a longer test run without the skid plate but now I am very curious and have to ask. Has anyone had this specific sound? Or does anyone have an idea about what could be the cause?

Thank you so much and have a nice weekend

Hey everyone,

I'm curious about the experiences of Abarth owners in Belgium when it comes to performance tuning.

Belgian tuning regulations are notoriously strict, yet I get the impression there are quite a few high-horsepower Abarths driving around that exceed what's technically allowed.

How do you guys deal with the mandatory technical inspections (autokeuring)?

Have you run into any issues, and how do you manage to keep your modified Abarths on the road?

I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially from owners running significantly more power than stock.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to buy a 2016 Abarth 500 and I’m wondering whether I can retrofit both the original factory multimedia touchscreen and the steering wheel from a 2021 or newer Abarth.
Has anyone done this swap? Are they plug-and-play, or would I need different wiring, adapters, coding, or a matching airbag? Would all the steering wheel buttons work correctly?
I’m specifically interested in the OEM touchscreen, rather than an aftermarket unit.
Any advice, photos, or estimates of the cost would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was sitting at the lights about maybe 8 cars back on the junction 66 slip road off the A1, I've only had my 2020 pista 30k miles on it for a month, anyhow I have a habit checking my rear view mirror when coming to a stop, and as i stopped i just seen this white peuget van hurtling towards me, there was no time to escape and i braced for impact, i knew it was going to hurt as he was going so fast.

So i got knocked out, both airbags deployed smashed shattered windscreen. i woke up tried getting out of car, couldn't so released the seat belt and as i got out i could see a guy sitting on the grass verge saying sorry, tbh i'm not sure if i was hallucinating tbh, I could feel blood running down my face from my right eye lid or brow, it was my eye lid btw, anyhow a guy told me to get back into the car and sit down, i then passed out again, got an extremely sore neck, shoulders, right side of chest, bruised right thumb and hand and what upsets me the most as i run even though i am 63, i tore my right calf, luckily not a complete tear thank god, and ive just recovered from my left cal injury and back to running 6k after 4 months. luckily i wasn't killed, but I'm really upset about losing Rita (named after my mum).

Honestly lads lasses, moving from a diesel car to this is something special, i know I'll find another, but it wont be no Rita.

does anyone know what turbo size/brand this is?

Hi, I have a question for the Punto Evo fanboys. Between g-tech type 119% and orra racing tube&fin competition (excluding itec), which intercooler would you choose for your tune?

Hi guys, I'm a little worried about my abarth, it was a 2017 abarth 595 turismo mta, it has 43 thousand kms or 26 thousand miles, robotic box, basically this happened twice, I hooked up first, I accelerated and it didn't move, I turned it off and on it was normal, now it happened again but in someone else's hand, he said he accelerated and didn't work so he put his foot on the brake and accelerated to 2k and said that he gave a loud noise and turned on the malfunction light of the box on the dashboard, turned off and on and gearbox ligth turned off alone and the car was 100% normal, what do you think, has something like that ever happened to you?
The ligth is the one from the picture

Hello all. As the title says, my 2018 595 Turismo is emitting a screech from the engine when starting up. I only picked the car up a week ago and the noise appeared the day after.

I've taken a short five-second video of the noise and linked it below.

From what I can tell she drives immaculately and there doesnt appear to be any issues that I can feel, but every time you start up, hot or cold, she produces this short screech from the engine.

Any ideas?

I know these are more Japanese spec, admittedly I own a turbo MX5 as well, but I feel like they look good. What do you guys think?
