Re: Carbon Door Card for $200?

I dig this - it simplifies and beautifies the interior in my opinion - I wonder if one could do it in a Fiber glass option and overlay with some suede for that alcantera feel

Re: General AS-05 tires

Im very surprised that the Hankooks only lasted 15000 miles? have you checked your alignment? I have some aggressive continentals that have done a twisted sisters event and track day and a 1 year of 80 mile round trip daily work driving and they still look in great condition (easily 20 thousand mile...

Re: Turbosmart or Forge Actuator?

I dont know with the Fiattech forum going down if that has something to do with him not responding - Id assume that he should still be in operation minus the forum

Re: Turbosmart or Forge Actuator?

If your not switching turbos - and staying phase 2 then I would suggest the Turbosmart - The one Speedmotive sells is custom setup for our system - I personally havent tried the Forge - I know it comes with more tuning springs to hold different boost pressures - I think both are fine upgrades and wi...

Re: P1CEA Engine Light

Thats the one thing i didnt keep for some reason - and your right about junkyards -all i see are pops and sports - but I think i found an alternative - The 500L has the same 1.4 turbo - and the venturi tee line is way cheaper coming in at 35 bucks instead of 77 - the line looks shorter but if Im goi...

Re: P1CEA Engine Light

Yeah thats what i figured - I havent been able to find a venturi tee to replace because my dumb@ss threw it out when going to the boost leak fix - The only way I have to replace it is buying the whole hose with the tee including from fiat webstore for $77 and i havent brought myself to doing that yet

Re: Preloading the front swaybar.

I think if you were circle track racing - preloading one side to make better turns one way would be correct - but in a street car we turn both ways so preloading both would not be as helpful as you wouldnt be getting the full benefit of the sway bar - If i remember correctly you have a DNA adjustabl...

Re: P1CEA Engine Light

To be fair my battery completely crapped out at 33000 miles yesterday and replacing it has since made the code disappear. Hopefully it doesnt comeback up but if does I guess Ill just start working on a fix again for it. Replacing the battery probably reset the all the fault codes on the ECU - the c...

Re: Preloading the front swaybar.

I thought the whole point of the adjustable end links were so that the swaybar was not preloaded - I could be completely off basis though
