Really appreciating your honesty here Grant!! I'm at 205 with my re-map & manifold uprgrade, Not sure I've got THOUSANDS more to gain 10 or 12 bhp God bless you, from ALL OF US, We ALL, absolutely LOVE your car, so THANK YOU Your friend & BIGGEST fan, Canada Carl!!!!
On a side note... I owned a 69 Chevy Chevelle, in Canada. It cost me over $10,000 for TRW 'domehead' pistons, with 202 aluminium shaved heads, Dyno'd at 640bhp. I LOVED MY CAR. BABIED it, NEVER redlined it, CONSTANTLY took it easy, but....... Within a year, she 'blew-up' & packed in. Wanna play hard????? Better have DEEP pockets. Weld your bonnets shut. All of your Abarths already rock. Leave them alone!!!!
Proalfa, what a joke of a company. Left with no warning with my parts locked inside the garage which I never got back. Tony at tune4 is great truly knows what he’s doing. I would highly recommend him to anyone with an Abarth.
Grant in the Garage would never want anyone to think tune4 is anything to do with them. I hope Tony hasn’t lost any business. I try to recommend him whenever I can.
After watching Hill Climb several years now.Just saw the video 300HP Abarth at Monza Circuit.uitWow! Found my way here.I gotta buy a Fiat Abarth 500. I have a 2012 Dodge Challenger 392 SRT8 and 2005 Dodge Ram Daytona.Yeah going fast is a drug very addictive once its in your blood.Think going with mods on Abarth be cheaper than cost of upgrades mods on the Challenger and Daytona.Only place in Texas to race it would be at Austin Circuit of Americas.No much rally as in Europe.
You alright geezer. Loving the channel. Just wanted to find out what company or companies you used to get your Abarth sorted. I’m looking to get my one done hopefully 300 bhp. I’m not looking to sell it. So any advice on getting it done with out getting turned over would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Hi Grant, I own the 2021 595 T-Jet 140. Fun in the beginning and handles well but I've not long got rid of my Bandit 1200N and as fun as the Abarth is, she's already began to feel basic and thinking 250ish bhp would be a nice positive... how long before you craved more than your 260 bhp?
With pleasure.... I am just mindful of it coming across poorly for me as I speaking to a worldwide platform to air my dirty laundry, however the amount of time stress and money they have caused me to spend I will most certainly be covering it. Maybe not necessarily in a dedicated video though
Hi Grant, in a previous video u mention about the 1.4 engine being quite old skool(in terms of its design) could u please go into more detail about this,if u know about the history of it etc. Thanks dude , keep up the great work 👍🏻
Absolutely admittadly I will need to swat up a little more on the subject to ensure I have enough content for a good quality video but I will be all over it once I have
Have you any details about your crank thrust bearings? Did you simply replace the thrusts on the top with stock? To take the extra power, did you use a full upper and lower thrust bearing upgrade?
Im new to all this and im about to buy an abarth. i just wanted to know if you thought it is worth it to upgrade the coils, put a better intake and cooler on and tune the car?
It's only worth it if you indeed want more power as the car is setup pretty well from factory. 😊 It is certainly it a requirement but if you do decide you like to make some adjustments/improvements and modify then yes they are a very healthy starting point.
No problem apologise I took my time I didn't realise until just now. To get to to 250 you will need a turbo upgrade. A full exhaust, intercooler, intake and a tune
@@Gdl1992 is there any specific website you recommend for parts or do you pretty much get everything from different places? Sorry for so many questions
Hi sounds like you know your stuff I have a 160 with and ihi turbo got all the bolt on mods what turbo do I go with as it’s a minefield out there I am handy with the spanner’s

That's the aim. To give the no frills truth about these cars that no one else is giving

Nothing of great value I hope. Sorry to hear that mate. Yea Tony is amazing

Do you have his contact details. Many thanks 🙏

I know you say it’ll take 2 years to discuss... but I REALLY want to hear about ProAlfa’s execution of jobs

@@Gdl1992 thx for the reply I'm just trying to get up close to 250 bhp do you think those mods would do the trick

Happy to answer questions. It depends if its a UK or US car?
I’m trying to uograde my fuel pump on my 2015 fiat abarth 500 but the housing holding the pump wont budge how did you get the pump out
Hi sounds like you know your stuff I have a 160 with and ihi turbo got all the bolt on mods what turbo do I go with as it’s a minefield out there I am handy with the spanner’s
Td04l is a solid choice
@@richardgerard1223 did it cheers full stage 3 with a td04 mad little car. Just put it up for sale now
Yo grant would love to arrange a meet-up with you and a few of the abarth guys. Hit me up!!👍

Holy shit that is expensive.....I had heard it was expensive but not that much.....but I guess the other people I heard it from half assed the job
People tend to underquote their costs because it makes them feel better about the expenditure.
