Post by MadFiat » Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:30 am

So, a bit late posting here, but .... I done went and bought a 124 Spider (back in April). Need a thread!!!

Got it used with about 22500 ish miles on it. Clean, excellent condition. Previous owner had a resonated :( autoricambi exhaust on.

CURRENT PERFORMANCE MODS:

Eurocompulsion Stage 1 (https://shopeurocompulsion.net/collecti ... der-abarth)
Forge Atmospheric BOV (https://shopeurocompulsion.net/collecti ... -off-valve)

CURRENT COSMETIC MODS:
MX5Things airbag light changer thingy. (https://mx5things.com/collections/fiat- ... ement-fiat)
MX5Things Sequential Turn Signal Lights (https://mx5things.com/collections/fiat- ... al-feature)
MX5Things Clear Wind Deflecter (https://mx5things.com/collections/fiat- ... al-feature)
Bigass (not a brand name) 4" Exhaust Tip (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LGFLQWY)

FUTURE MODS:
Custom DIY Intercooler (Following guide TX Bandit: https://www.124spider.org/threads/tx-ba ... ted.39157/) - parts arrived and awaiting installation.
AFE Intake (https://afepower.com/afe-power-51-76901 ... ake-system) - 2 month fucking backorder.

Update!

This car is still in the stable!

It's had a few updates done since the original post. New wheels, Record Monza exhaust, few other small things I won't detail here right now.

1. Updating the list with the current mods that aren't listed above or have already changed.
2. Sway bar upgrades (already have just need to install).
3. Roll bar? (To allow it to play on real tracks)
4. Wrap the hood and trunk lid. Maybe black on white, it seems a popular combination lately.
5. Fix the underbody panel and fender skirt extension that got ripped up by a stupid parking block that someone didn't cut the rebar level with.
6. Try not to blow up the engine.
7. Install the exhaust crosspipe.
8. High flow cat?
