Different bit of car news!
My missus bought a fiat 500 abarth esseesse for her sins back in November, for those that don't know the esseesse model comes with koni shocks, different wheels, brembo's and an esseesse map.
Standard it is 160 bhp and 170 lbft in a car that weighs just over a ton, as you can imagine it is a lot of fun and pretty quick for a 1.4 turbo!
Then she started modding, bought a ragazzon cat back system and a gtt tuning induction kit.
Last week we took it to a place called proalfa in Watford who specialise in fiat and Alfa (hence the name) and actually race one of their alfa's which is the same 1.4 turbo engine running 300bhp!!
They fitted a decat and then mapped it, it made 173.5 bhp and 216.1 lbft just from putting the decat on which I thought was a great result, he then went on to tell us after he tweaked the map he managed to get 190.8 bhp and 251.9 lbft out of it which I couldn't believe.
The car is an absolute rocket and makes a lovely noise now on boost she's over the moon with it, just over a ton this little thing weighs and with all that power I'm glad it has 4 pot brembo's.
Here's the car all clayed polished and waxed and the graph, I still can't belive the power of the thing
