If you get a wave from an old Saab Aero, its me. No Abarth at the moment after my wife had an argument with an OAP in a Volvo!

    Finally got the Bilsteins on.



    Need to adjust the xenons now though as they now point way to high. Never had this issue with the old model but I don't think the old one had as many sensors? Adjusted them manually a bit last night but still not enough so its going on a friends beam pattern tester so we can adjust them correctly.

    That looks epic!

    The headlamps should auto adjust..maybe you've thrown them way off going that low?? Hopefully you can figure it out easily.

    Thanks  ;D

    I think they only auto adjust against weight possibly? I could be wrong.

    Yeah you can manually adjust them via 2 x 8mm studs on the back of each lamp, 1 for vertical, 1 for horizontal. Hopefully be all sorted by Friday.

    Headlights now adjusted correctly.

    Tracking done after coilovers fitted.

    Yellow stripes purchased.

    Also booked in to have the back of the Sabelts wrapped in a clear vinyl.

    So was that the same crash you posted about in February?

    10mm spacers all round on order from TMC.

    Going on the rollers down at EFI on Sunday to see how its running. One of the few rollers I trust for an accurate reading.

    So fitted 10mm spacers all round on Saturday night. Perfect now. Probably could of got 13mm on the back but it doesn't catch at all how it sits now so very pleased.

    Had it on the rollers down at EFI yesterday. It made 179.4bhp and 216 ftlbs. Not bad for a car with only 1000 mile on the clock.

    I love the colour combination body/brakes/stripes.

    This colour combo is lovely in the flesh - we were very tempted this weekend, just a bit too expensive for us  :'(

    Hi, I just joined the forum after upgrading from a Fiat 500 to an Abarth 500 last month, I prefer to go with less exciting stock Abarth upgrades as I prefer factory fitted options and have just fitted the SS kit with the 695 Brembo Koni kit, it now drives like an entirely different car and I'm really happy with it. Your Competizione is looking great, I suspect those Bilsteins might be a bit low for the speed bumps around my area though :( I think the older Competizione had 160hp but this years model is 180hp, what have Abarth done to give it extra 20hp? is it a further ECU remap or turbo upgrade?
