JD™ Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I think it has to be rotated about 70 degrees anti clockwise and down a couple of feet mate. I'm no expert though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 its home! There's a few tiny niggles I'm a bit unhappy with but on the whole I'm really pleased with it! Now to sound deaden it, rubber mat/carpet the back, add my coilovers and wheels then enjoy it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Assuming this gets a clean bill of health in the workshop I'm about 90% on buying it at the moment. It's an Abarth 595 Competizione, with the Monza exhaust, Koni FSD shocks and springs, Sabelt buckets, upgraded brakes, Interscope Hi-Fi and upgraded wheels. It's cheaper than the company car tax on my MX-5 and a right hoot to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 All was going so well today, whole interior pulled out minus the dashboard, airbag swapped, all plastics washed and dressed, floor washed and carpet wet vacced. All was well till I realised TPS have sent me 2 passenger seatbelts! f**king knobs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 So today f**king ruled.Just after I sealed the deal with Ads to start working at TartyBikes again he asked me if I wanted to come with him, Stan and Cap on a track day at Blyton in the Munter. I haven't been on track before (apart from a rally experience thing a while back), and was very eager to do so so got involved. Cut to 3 months later and there we are at Blyton Park. As mentioned, I haven't done a track day before so didn't really know what to expect, but the Mazda On Track people running it were really sound, and everything went pretty smoothly (save for a few yellow/red flag moments). Apart from one dick who got rightfully blackflagged for being a complete f**kwit, there was a really good atmosphere and it wasn't the intimidating setup I'd kind of thought it might be. The Munter had plenty of interest too We've got a bunch of photos on Adam's camera, and the GoPro has recorded a bunch of off track excurions and sweet drifts so I'm sure they'll be popping up online soon. Here are a couple of other photos though...The Munter.Some non-hammer based 'adjustments'. Adam making some fuelling tweaks between runs.A shit photo of Cap ragging around with Stan as passenger.Enabling Grip Mode with the £40 slicks-on-steelies. It was really fun to drive on the standard tyres/wheels, but once the slicks got up to temp they were nuts. As a side note, it was cool to get driven by Adam on track too. I've been out with him in road cars before but obviously you're not pushing to quite the same extent, so getting to experience him sending it around Blyton was really cool. Cheers for the tips (and indeed awesome day)! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I love penis in and around my bum. Tuesday I have got a demo ride booked on a new Harley Sportster, just to top the gayness off. That's the only thing stopping me on the Abarth, that and it hasn't been through our workshop yet so it might be goosed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 It's a Fiat isn't it, therefore goosed from new? We had a Panda as a hire car on holiday last week, twas interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Saw one of those 500s this morning being driven by a woman who was 60 odd, dressed like she was 20odd, windows down playing loud pop music. She pulled away from a set of lights a bit too enthusiastically presumably thinking she looked like the bomb diggidy.You're going to look at least that awesome in it!

TrialsIsHard Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 My cousin has one and I can vouch for their fun-ness, ~180BHP in the top spec ones in a car that tiny means there's bit of fire under the 'daddy bought me a new car' spoiled teenage girl bodywork.

MadManMike Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm gonna go against the grain and say that they're one of the best looking tiny cars, they sound awesome and they are pretty rapid.I wouldn't buy one, but they're nice little cars.
