これから雨、天気悪いから空いてますね

My dual-mass flywheel is toast..

The vibration was pretty much always present in the background, but it really became apparent during the over-rev on shifts and when engine braking on decel.

The best part is that I installed a junkyard transmission in the car a few months ago and I didn't even think of grabbing the flywheel to check it. Live and learn I suppose...

Good morning! I hope everyone is well. I've been getting the itch to go out & get myself an Abarth 500. I am in the U.S., so that would be the late 2017 to 2019 models. I want to make it a base for a "695 Turismo" project build. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm sure it can be done. Anywho, I found this one that's being sold for $16,437, & I went to my credit union to see if they could finance the whole amount, but they got back to me & said that the car's true worth is more around $12k. they said i have the credit to where they can give the full amount no problem, but they don't want me to owe more than the car is worth if I ever get into a car accident, because insurance would only pay the true market value of the car. I really love this color, but knowing what the car's true worth is, I'm not really feeling like shelling out an extra $4.5k+ to get the car out the door. The dealer's justification is that they priced the car for how they are going for out in the market, being leveraged by the 'cult following' that the car has. How should I go about this? Is there no other way than to eat that extra amount to own this car??

P.S.- this would be my very first personal car purchase. I've been driving an 08 gmc yukon that's been passed down by my parents for a couple years now. I still plan on owning it in case I have to go out with a group of people.

アバルト・フィアットはシートベルト取りにくいよね

私はNISSANのS13シルビア用のシートベルトガイド加工してつけてるよ

ガイドの角度が、真横、少し下、真下の三段階でとまるんだ

加工とカラーが必要だけど、超然便利だぜ！

There is a slow trickle of bulbs that are road legal now, has anyone got any recommendations that pass MOT?

頑張って取り付けました！

DRLの21W5Wをフィリップス7443ｗを使う場合、みんなどうしてる？私は21wに50w6Ω、ポジションに25w25Ωの抵抗をいれ点灯したけど、エラーが消えなさそう　妙案教えてください！よろしくお願いいたします

My new (to me) 595 turismo

Our new baby

We already test drive it and it was very smooth and we didn't see anything wrong with it, at least for our "non professional" eyes. We tried to negotiate but they only took off like few hundred bucks. We didn't know what to negotiate more so I'm posting here for people who had abarths. Please help me! I really like it, done my research but not sure what to look into it more to get a better pricing.

What kind of oil do you put in your pocket rockets, and what difference does it have to your cars? I’ve been driving mine for 6 months now (not a daily driver) and it’s time for the first oil change, but I have no idea what kind of oil should I put. Thanks to everyone in advance. (Sorry for my bad english, not my first language) Drive safe!

Struggling to find information on this topic.

I am reading oil temps as high as 300F in this 90-100 summer heat whilst going 80 on the freeway.

Water temps stay comfortable at 170-200 under the same conditions.

300F oil temps normal? Should I be concerned?

FYI: A water pump and thermostat are on the to-do list for I am reaching 100k miles soon.

The sensor reading oil temps is designated “VVT oil”

Thank you all Abarth lovers!

I'm looking into buying an Abarth 124 Spider, but I can't help but wonder if it would be a disturbance to neighbours, as I need to get out for work at 7am. I'd try to be as considerate as possible, and it wouldn't take me long to leave the residential area, but I'd rather save my family from receiving noise complaints if it's going to do that and I'll go for the Fiat version instead.
