I should of been more forceful with the missus when she wanted a Swift sport instead of one of these :(
They sound great!

Car looks great in that colour. I do not like the Monza exhaust, it is just wrong to have 4 small exhaust pipes which never seem to sit straight in two big cut outs meant for two large exhaust pipes. It is such an after thought. The original exhaust looks good, and the BTB turbo back not only looks great and makes more power as Monza is just a back box.

The compression ratio is exactly the same on all variants including the Trofeo race cars which put out 200bhp+ using the larger but still small Garrett turbo. I rebuilt the head on one that saw about 10,000rpm after a fluffed gear change at Brands, and all parts like head gasket valves wtc were all standard OEM.

Turbo Technics and Andy Dawson have produced a bolt on hybrid turbo, and in his development car it is running 250bhp and similar torque.

Got the piaa bulbs you mentioned, thought it would be a quick job but the bloody bulb fell out the holder when I was putting it in. Need to try and fish it out now!

Been a while since I updated this and it took quite a turn since Feb.

Got the splitter from Canada imported and fitted. Then bought some Fifteen52 Turbomacs in 17x8 et30 for it.

Then decided being so low wasn't that practical were we live so decided upon getting a quote on Airlift performance suspension and well one thing led to another. Also had the new MY16 Series 4 LED rear lights fitted. First in the UK to do this :tongueout:

Phil at the Install Company done an awesome job. Custom adjustable top mounts, fully adjustable dampers, Airlift 3p Management which can be controlled in the car or via your phone. Handles fantastic, and its the most comfortable Abarth I've ever been in now haha.

f**k, that's awesome! Wheels really suit it, tempted to say I prefer the before air pictures though.

Thanks dude! The Air pictures are just of it "aired" out. Its drive height is exactly the same as the coilover height. Will grab some more photos with a real camera rather than a phone.
 
Fuuuuck!! I love it now!!!

I saw a white pearlescent one the other day with sick lows & a loud exhaust etc, I thought it was pants. Yours looks awesome now!!! :cool:

Great wheels. Really like that! Surprised they don't look too big really.

I love mega lows but needs camber and stretch to pull off the look perfectly ;)

Lights look great, you have to cut the loom to wire them in? Would love to get them for mine and put a reverse/fog light behind the insert in the middle

Ah so this is yours. Saw pics around the other day.

So anyway we got rid of our swift and have a 180 Comp now :)

That looks great! Wheels really suit it. Did the adapter for the rear lights ever get made or did you cut into the loom in the end?

No adapters ever got made, the company who were supposed to make them said they have sold out but i don't know or can't find anyone who actually bought one so I think they had problems. So we have cut into the loom but left the standard plugs in too for the rear lights so they can be returned to standard in 2 minutes.

Yeah have cut into the loom. Can be returned back to the old lights within minutes though. Currently working on a rear fog solution in the middle of the diffuser. Should be done in the next couple of weeks.
