Maranello House Abarth has arrived Woohoo

[kristen]

can you pm me his number to please

 

[Maranellohouse]

Got bored working on the 308 yesterday so put the springs in the Abarth.

Lowered to exactly the height I wanted. Perfect.

Me and my dad convinced my mum to go for a 140 brake one like this. She only got it a few days before I moved to England so didnt get to drive it much. What driving I did do I loved and as @jayme can confirm they make a giggle inducing pop when being revved hard and changing gear.

Lovely colour on this one, would be the colour I would go for if/when I go for one. Wheels suit it to a tee too!

That looks well, these things must be great craic.

It really is, just puts a smile on your face all the time. Like a little terrier that's always trying to run ahead of you lol

 

[Topmark]

Had an Abarth a few months ago, lots of fun but crippling uncomfortable on long journeys lol not what they're for though I suppose.

Looks awesome and wheels / ride height really suits it. If you fancy a few goodies, have a look at TMC motorsport's website, Daron (owner) lives in Dundonald and holds some stock locally. Ships worldwide from London typically. I recommend the Magneti Marelli Bombardone exhaust system... Your neighbours will hate but you will love.

 

[dixy]

Tmc has been to a few clubs meets one stop shop, had the same exhaust and a cracking induction kit on my 500 SS yeah the neighbours loved me hehe ;-p

 

[Topmark]

@dixy Tunnels have never been so much fun!! Adds to the whacky / funky - ness of these cars. Certainly turns heads too.

 

[dixy]

Lol indeed it was I still have a wee chuckle as I got the sweet spot weighed off to have it ripping .....oh the joys lol

 

[Maranellohouse]

Ha, the springs came from Daren and there will most likely be other bits to.

 

[Lyons]

Did you notice any difference in handling with the new lighter wheels?

 

[dixy]

Lol yes you will no doubt have a number of things from his store ......I did and still do.

 

[Maranellohouse]

Did you notice any difference in handling with the new lighter wheels?

It's a bit sharper on turn in. The springs are only slightly stiffer than the originals which is good to

 

[s3_trev]

I think this looks class! All very tasteful mods so far. Exact same wheels as myself as well and really suit the car. Can these be remapped? Would you consider maybe upgrading some of the bulbs to LED to take away that yellowish look?

 

[HWW]

One Tuned to 190bhp with Tarox bbk must be great craic. Been looking on tmc website.

 

[Topmark]

Yep I know two lads who had theirs tuned to about 190bhp. Daron has built one-offs with well over 300bhp! Madness.

Pretty sure I seen this this morning coming into the Central Station car park as I was parking. If so, it sounded fantastic and looked even better. Have a real soft spot for these!

Yes to the bulbs specially the sidelights ones as the colour of those annoys me.

 

[JonnyB23]

Yeah that was me. Had a wee look round it as I was walking out of the car park too, absolutely stunning.

Pretty sure another guy was coming behind me and stopped for a gander as well lol definitely a head turner.

Lol as I came in behind you there was someone who takes pride in his car, dirty weather and your car was spotless. Lovely car to.

 

[JonnyB23]

Haha...thats only cause the people that fixed it decided to give it a good wash. It could do with a proper detail and clean. Thank you very much but!

 

[Maranellohouse]

"SMALL, smaller, not faar awaaay"

Got the little one out for a wash this morning so had to take a photo of the 2 together

 

[weeloaney]

I love you car collection, not normally what you see here

 

[cauld1]

Im heading back to NI next weekend, can't wait to get driving mums abarth back from the airport, yours looks fantastic @Maranellohouse love that colour!

Wee aircooled 500 looks great too, if only the one sitting in the garage at home looked like that!
