What did you do to your Fiat lately ?

Today I change out the coolant , put on some Mishimoto hoses, and wrapped the intake to keep it cooler. Trying to get ready for Twisted Sisters.

Swapped the atmospheric BOV for a recirc BOV. Why? Stupid "new" turbo (has 3000 miles on it now, was brand new when I installed it) is leaking oil through the shaft seal.... and it was emitting a small amount of oil through the BOV, just enough to make everything oily and smell like burned oil when it got hot....

Today I had to install a new battery because the original one left me stranded in an Atwoods parking lot. If it would have lasted another month I would have been putting my Antigravity back in for the summer. I also covered some holes in the rear side panels where the rear seatbelts or seat was bolted in.

I was going to re-grease the convertible top, but think we have found the correct stuff (Berulub FR 43) so waiting on that instead.
Things I need to before the Sisters at the end of April:
- New Tires
- Fix the sideskirts (again)
- Check that the front fenderwell is going to be okay at high speed (got a brick wedged up there).
Things I'd like to do:
- add more ventilation
- Fit harnesses

Just take off your hood for the event.

You and I are along the same lines, Brit:
New tires went on Friday - Road Force balancing - custom alignment was yesterday.
I have bought a perfect condition hood from our Pull a Part. I need to get some vents & cut them into that hood ASAP.
Still need to do something with my taillights - swapped all the front lights to turbo ones, but the rears are still chrome.
I planned to order LED (Gen4) tails from Lorenzo, but I (most likely) won't have them by the dragon.

I can provide you the tails - 100% plug and play.

I think I have plenty of air out; I was thinking about more air in. Especially around the top of the intercooler.
