My first big purchase from EuroCompulsion just arrived this weekend. Installing a V2 intake and phase 1 tune whenever I have my next day off. Vegas isn’t known for having any particularly fun or twisty canyon roads to take advantage of, but there are a few around the Mt. Charleston area that I’d like to tackle once the snow melts. If personal finances allows it, I might splurge on a SystemOne by the end of March. I’ve got a few road trips to LA coming in these next couple months that would greatly benefit from an exhaust upgrade.
@GeneSZN There are a few of us doing a fun run in April, just east of PHX on this fun little stretch of road!!

I am sure you would have fun with your new exhaust here!! I believe @TX_Bandit will try and make it out.(?)
Here is the thread where we are talking about it, if you are interested!!

Planning to get the updated injectors and go to the higher output phase 3 tune. Will likely do wheels and tires too.

This stretch of road looks beautiful. Hoping I can find the time to make the drive. Thanks for the invite!

Sways & Turbo blanket, if nothing else!
You need to install that piggyback! Also we need to plan some drives as soon as the roads clear up. No point in having an awesome car if we can’t enjoy them. LMK when you do some auto x, hopefully they will have something available on a Sunday.

Piggyback would be ideal to just throw on whenever doing FSB, EC crosspipe & Blanket. Taking the car apart is already a mission as is when you don't have a garage, so minimizing the times that needs to happen is always preferred for me. I still regret removing my front bumper for the DRL install last winter, and not replacing the junky factory intercooler while I was at it 🤦‍♂️

I'll be out of town the next few weekends but that April trip sounds tempting...

FIAT on the Dragon happens April 13-16 and should be a great time to dust off the cars for spring with some serious driving.

Don’t need to remove the bumper to install the intercooler. We just need to have an install parts we have laying around day! 😁
Everything is relative. Could I have installed my roll bar without taking out the seats? Sure, but it made the job much easier to do so, particularly due to awkward angles and lack of working room. Similarly, as someone who doesn't have a lift, or access to one, I found the front bumper cover removal to make the job much easier, particularly the proper running of the wiring along the crash bar.

Bumper installed, intercooler install sounds like a breeze with a lift, and a nightmare without one. But that's just me.

I just received my car in Germany, so drive. I want to explore Europe in my Abarth. Next month I am heading to Hockenheimring for a track day. I will have to get new tires on the car soon. And with the stock exhaust back on the car, I am looking for a new exhaust. It is too quiet right now.

I'm in Spain at the moment, but already planning my next Spider trip. Thinking maybe North East Europe/Baltics/Scandinavia or Morocco via France and Spain.

It's tough being retired !!!
Morocco is a trip I would love to do while in Europe. I've planned most of it out, but still very unsure about doing such a trip alone. I've been trying to convince a friend to join me. It'll take some work.

I kind of want to do it in my Interceptor, but the Abarth will be a safer bet.

$fr33.99 when you are military. Please be sure to take your 124 on The Ring, so we can all live vicariously through you
Nailed it! I will get it on the Ring for sure. And whatever other track will let me on. Spa, A2 Ring, Barcelona, whatever, I'll take it.

Good point! Forgot how fortunate I am to have access to a lift.

The lights 100% needs the bumper off, the roll bar I would have removed the interior as well.
