Bravo Bravo Abarth Conversion.

Introduction

I always thought that the Bravo is such a beautiful car and would look amazing in Abarth livery. So I set out on this project which I have really enjoyed doing. I also really love the hidden exhausts rather than the twin pipes on the back also which is why I have no plans to change the back end of the box. Currently Running at a "restricted" 175BHP and 209ft/lb of torque, it currently has more torque than the 695 Tribute 500!

So i've slowly been doing work to my Bravo over the last 1.5years! Thought it was finally time to post up whats been done and get some opinions! Won't be for everyone but welcome all opinions! :D

So I started with my 150 T-Jet below (as standard)

So my first modification was Hid's which were 4300k's:

Then I got my GSR installed and remapped:

I have some restrictive problems with my Cat on the exhaust, which is backing up my exhaust so my power is flat-lining higher up. This will be sorted in the next couple of months. It's plenty fast enough at the moment.

Next I got my Abarth badges and Alloy wheels for my car:

Afterwards I made a new Abarth Key in the new style:

And I got a new engine cover and set of car mats to go with it:

And finally, replaced my steering wheel with a new one from a 500 Abarth:

When I finally get my new Exhaust parts I can also fit my Esseesse boost sensors to regulate the boost better too:

So with that completed so far, some further modifications include:
-New downpipe with sport cat from TMC and Esseesse boost sensors
-Grande Punto Abarth Seats
-Maybe some new Springs and Dampeners
-New Brakes/Tyres

Thanks For Looking! :D

Re: Bravo Abarth Conversion

Sounds nice man, sounds even better when you get some lovely flutter on the go (possibly doing extortionate speeds round the parkways ;) )
Cant wait to see its lowss

Re: Bravo Abarth Conversion

Sounds similar to mine! ^_^

Does anyone else think the second video kinda looks like you're looking at a womans rear end at an angle and she has rather large pink lady bits? Just me? :p
 
Re: Bravo Abarth Conversion

Hahahaha I didn't kill this thread did I?

LeighJet, any more progress?


Well im off to Spa and Nurburgring, this weekend for next week. So I have been saving for that! Had 2 new front tyres on today for the trip, some T1R proxies, much much better than my Ultimate ditchfinders!

I got Springs, but no money/time to put them on so they are gonna happen when I get back, or even if I could find a place out there MAYBE! After that gonna uprate my brakes. still on the look out for some Genuine seats, that is pretty much all it needs now. Maybe some more alloys, if im feeling the need! :D

only 1 big job im tempted to do is get it respray Black again, as paintwork isnt in great condition.

Hopefully will have some nice pictures from the Ring etc when I get back! :D
 
Re: Bravo Abarth Conversion

take the springs mate, there are loads of garages at Nurburg and Adenau and there is even a Fiat dealer and service place a short drive away called Autohaus Kirsten that make UK Fiat dealers look very poor

Same! I have a million stone chips on my bonnet and swirls from automatic carwashes (previous owner). I'll probably just get a vinyl wrap though, it's cheaper.

The ultimate grip test, do the new tyres spin up joining the parkway?:p

For paint. Try giving Rawb a PM. He did a fantastic job on my car.:D
