TRANSFORMING My Abarth 595 Competizione [
Рет қаралды 160,437
3 жыл бұрынMy project to transform my Abarth 595 Competizione into a lightweight, track focussed, Biposto inspired car continues! I head to DK Tuning for some performance upgrades including new suspension, exhaust, induction kit and intercooler.

Sam, it's not a good look having the tips from akrapovic, and not the exhaust! I know you don't wanna spend the cash on a full one, but you could at least take out the akrapovic logo from the tips...

With those breathers you can prob get 220 and around 280ft lb. you can get more if you went sport cat you will be closer to 230 by 290 ft lb but it does make the the car much louder and asbo. Completely safe with that 1446 Garret turbo and believe me that will transform the car. Glad you are having fun in the Abarth*

@@markgilbertson1564 there is not a Fiat 500 with turbo....only the Abarth ones have turbo. And remember that Abarth started his history with the exhausts, and the modern Abarth also sounds very special, and is one of the first cars to include an optional exhaust directly from the factory.... We know Abarth was something more.....but Fiat has done a very good job with the brand name.

This is a cool project. I like it and can’t wait to see on track. Everyone seems just to do exhausts these days and forget about induction which is how you can get some really interesting old school noises! As a kid, you never had the money to get the proper bits like coil overs - it was usually a set of the cheapest lowering springs or actually lopping a coil or two off with an angle grinder! This makes me want to have some fun with hot hatches again - these mods pale into insignificance compared with paying the monthlies on a £30k loan and looks like more fun! Can second someone else’s thoughts on brake pads - think I got a set of Ferrodo DS2500 for a track day I did in an MGTF and they didn’t fade once.

I guess that’s y ure so refreshing to watch sam. U always seem to take the roads less traveled. When everybody else’s lining up to buy huracans, u buy a 360. N when u did buy something conventional, the 911 T, u did the unconventional thing of lugging it off all over the world. I think its safe to say that ill be a fan for life.

Great video as always! Make sure you get the car mapped tho, trust me it will transform the car and not just in terms of power, the drivability in general is so so much better and usable. I’ve got a stock turismo with just a map and it’s 212bhp, not crazy power but I think it’s more than enough for the car but like I said the drivability is so much better for everyday driving (of course on track too) and it puts the power down so well.

How much did DK Tuning pay you or discount to get your custom? They are banned from the main abarth groups, lie through their teeth and have messed up countless abarths behind their facade of marketing. I understand you maybe weren't to know as they 'seem' legit at first glance but these guys are cowboys as others have mentioned and when it comes to having your abarth mapped, I would certainly recommend going onto the abarth owners club or modified abarth on Facebook and asking the community where the best places are... I've driven abarths mapped by DK myself and know plenty of people who've had no end of crap to put up with afterwards. Listen to the wider unbiased community, not just the seemingly friendly locals who are biased in their favour and will deny what the majority will tell you 👍🏻
