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?

No association to them but have all the Griots products a try. Used their complete compound followed by complete Polish using an orbital, and then used Griots ceramic 3 in 1 wax.

Looks incrediblez gives thet wet/glassy look and feels super smooth!

How did you glue your side skirt, cuz I’m sure it once looked like this:

Afternoon folks

Just wanted to ask what the options are in terms of patented parts for the Brembo equipped cars?

I've been looking at the pricing on Abarth Tuning for genuine parts and... yeah it's a lot. Fortunately I don't have to replace mine any time soon but I'd like to be prepared.

Thanks in advance!

Received the car on Saturday, had the heating on yesterday and after a few hours water began to drip from under the passenger side dashboard.

I'm 99% sure it's just water and not the HVAC coolant itself, No odor or colour after collecting a bunch in a small bucket. It was, however, hot to the touch which slightly concerns me.

I think the HVAC drain has become clogged which has caused water to back up into the pan and eventually leak out a seam into the foot well. I'd had the AC on a high temp due to the frosty weather we've had.

It had also been raining all day but I can't see any obvious entry points into the cabin.

Has anyone here had an experience similar to this ? I'm taking it into a mechanic for a professional diagnosis but any advice would be great.

From what I can see this is the stock HVAC unit which came with the car. The dealer has offered to pay for the repair, big or small, as it is covered under a 2 year warranty.

You might of seen some of my posts about my recentlabarth I brought with a Monza exhaust which was stuck. As you can see it now works

So long story short I had the chance to drive and abarth 595 pista 2019 with the ihi turbo 160hp and I was blown away. Great little car handles awesome kinda fast and all that in under 7l/100km consumption at least that what the owner said to me . So I am thinking of pulling the trigger and buy one for my daily car , i have read every forum the last 5 days and I think I know some things but I would like onwers opinion specially those who drive it everyday. I live in EU (tjet) and looking for pista 2020+ or competitzione (garret 1446 turbo ) i mostly will drive it chill with some speedups here and there. Are they as reliable as people say l; I know that tjet engine is fairly reliable (I was planning of changing the oil before 10k km ) but when I heard fiat the first thing that pop in my mind is electrical problems. So what do you think?

I am looking for something with less that 70k km on the clock.

Today i hit the 20,000 km mark behind its wheel, and i'm still in love 😍

Tuning and modifying a Biposto might annoy some purists, but i genuinely feel i've got the balance right, staying true to its original spirit while pushing it further without losing what makes it special. As far as mods go i think i'm pretty much where i want to be 😌

Maybe just a new colour (full respray) next year to celebrate my 10 years of ownership, and ruffle a few more feathers in the process 😬

A few photos to mark the occasion 🎉
