2020 70th anniversary 695 Abarth adjustable rear spoiler?

So, is someone going to figure out a way to source the rear adjustable wing on the upcoming 2020 70th anniversary 695 Abarths?

Re: What did you do to your Fiat lately ?

I'm not too fond of spending $100 on a new cargo shelf because the flimsy paper mache one decided to break and sag, so I slapped on a piece of 1/16" x 3/4" piece of aluminum with some two-piece screw post-type fasteners and it should never break again. What a miserable little piece. I repa...

Re: From WA and moved to TX,

I CAN SO RELATE ON THE LICENSE PLATE ISSUE!! Apparently, 'NGEN' is racist, even though I had the plate previously! Doesn't make sense. Good luck with the appeal but don't expect much from it. Two months after paying for plates upfront and having to use their obfuscated email appeals process, gettin...

Re: LED headlight bulbs

I also went with the Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 both in the Headlights and Fog Lights. The difference is literally like Night and Day. Our temperature has been in the mid 90's so I will see if the fan works. The warranty is 3 years, so I am not too worried. I can hear the fan in the cabin of the vehicle ...

Re: What did you do to your Fiat lately ?

I just installed a set of Vogtland springs today, Energy poly bumpstops, Energy poly spring isolators (one set, installed at the top. Reused OEM rubber one on bottom of spring), and Bilstein B8's. People have been doing the budget KYB Gas-A-Just KG5564 rear shock install for a while now. The origina...

Anyone use a portable wheel alignment tool?

I was curious if anyone's tried out one of those sub-$500 portable wheel alignment tools that'll handle camber, caster, and toe, like Quick Trick or Tenhulzen, and if it's precise and accurate enough to get the job done within an acceptable tolerance? I'm sure it doesn't stand a chance against a dri...

Re: What did you do to your Fiat lately ?

Installed a set of Stoptech slotted rotors and Hawk pads front and rear with a refund from a long-running headache of trying to get Sandtler 2-piece brake rotors from Germany (gave up on it after 8 months). I noticed the swept area on the rear rotors was poor. For whatever reason, the rear pads are ...

Re: Getting into track days?

I'm in a similar boat. I'm looking at helmets right now and figuring out what road tracks exist within reasonable driving distance, and offer classes or driving events for people who are just getting into it with no prior formal experience, and need to build up fundamentals. To bring this thread bac...

Re: 2020 Toyota Supra

I've never driven a new car with flappy paddles, but I prefer a clutch, even though I'm not exactly a veteran to manual transmissions. Toyota outsourcing a BMW engine isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world, but it breaks away from the purity of those who want an all-Toyota project. BMW's ven...
