Dad is getting the Forge induction kit, I have a 3d printer, does anyone have a file for the intake scoop?

Basically the title, he has a 595 and is getting the forge induction kit, I can see a load of places charging £30 for a small print, but I have a printer. I have not been able to find the STL files myself, wondering if someone here has a link to one?

Seeking Advice for Winter Tires

Please let me know if there is a better subreddit for this question. Sorry if it's annoying here.

I desperately need new tires for my 2013 500 Abarth. I live in Michigan, where things can get really snowy and slippery, and soon. This is my first time ever buying new tires for a car by myself. If you have any advice I would appreciate it!

(And yes I am aware that it's dumb as hell to have this car as my daily driver in a snowy region lol)

Questions:

  1. Should I get some nice all-season tires, or get some winter tires and switch them out in the spring? What are the pros and cons here?

  2. What brands or types of tires have you had the best luck with in icy conditions on your Abarth?

  3. Are there any "cheaper" tires that are still going to be good? Or are tires the kind of thing where you should just bite the bullet and get the expensive ones? I'm willing to spend a lot if I have to, but money is very tight. It would be very difficult for me to spend a lot, but not totally impossible.

Buying a 2017 Abarth 595 Competizione Manual - Good Deal?

I'm considering buying a 2017 Abarth 595 Competizione Manual - As a first time owner, I would love to know if this is a good value investment, based on the information.

55,000km - MANUAL - All Black (Colour + Rims)

PRICE: $24000 (AUD), possible to negotiate between 24-23.

Took it for a very short test drive and it drove beautifully.

Does this sound like a good deal? Any red flags?

This car has has a full service history being serviced every 10,000kms, performed by Alfa and Abarth specialists. Last month the car underwent a full service and all documentation is available.

Would love any insights! Thanks so much!

Key issue

My key fob button does not work to unlock the vehicle. I have replaced the battery but this is not working.

I can unlock the vehicle with the keys.

I have used the key in the door and the central locking works fine.

Any ideas?!

Engine code help

I recently bought a 2019 595 abarth. Not even a week in I get a check engine light and the car loses all power and won’t move. Shut it off and turned it back on, the check engine light was still on but engine power was restored. I read it with a cheap scanner I have and I got p1697. I can’t find a single thing on this code other than it being a Chrysler code for ecu mileage. Anyone have any ideas? Also it’s a manual not an automatic

Wrap match help

Hi all.

There are a couple of bits of interior I would like to wrap as close to possible as podium blue, on the UK spec 595.

Ideally I'd like to get them painted but I just don't have the money at the moment. I have tried a couple of wrap samples and can't find anything close to podium blue. I don't need an identical match, but as close as possible would be good.

Anyone know of any?

Setting my last J10 class record at Oulton Park! J10 Class Sweep Complete! | JTSS 2024 | Round 7

The 2024 season finale is now up! Finished the season with:

  • 7 for 7 1st place finishes
  • 7 for 7 J10 class lap records

Oulton was a great ending to the year, and a final strong finish to my time in J10. Next season I'll be moving up to J09, meaning fully stripped out track cars will be my competition, so we'll see how the next year goes!

Strange Rattle/Grinding Noise

Hi all,

been having a weird issue with my 2013 NA Abarth 500, once the coolant gauge reaches the middle line/operating temp, when I am engine braking from 1800-1600rpms there is a slight buzzing/grinding/rattling noise. It goes away immediately once the rpms fall outside of this range or if the gas pedal is pressed any amount. I am suspecting that because it is only when the car is at operating temps it is something loose in my exhaust? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[Updated post] accident on the highway

I made a post about my car getting messed up while I was driving. The suspension is fixed, but now I'm hearing a big clunk when I start up the car and grinding, especially from neutral to drive. Transmission is more than likely messed up, right? The grinding is through all the gears, but is more excessive from neutral to drive

Fiat Ducato 2016 , crank no start

Fiat Ducato 2016 (magneti marelli MJD8F3.BV) Engine crank no start, there’s no DTC in the engine control module, we tried the ECU and the Body control module and the key in another van and it started normally , and we can actuate the fuel relay normally in the other van , but in the van with crank no start ,the fuel pump when you turn the ignition on it turns ON and immediately goes OFF and we cant actuate the fuel pump or anything eles using autel and thinkdiag , we tried to bypass the fuel pump by powering it manually , the fuel pressure raised to 350 BAR when we power the fuel pump but no start , we unplug the mass air flow just in case but no start ,? Notes: -ECU Checked -BCM Checked -Key immobilizer checked -CAN BUS checked -Fuses checked -Relay checked -The engine itself checked by using some product I don’t know how to name it in English -Engine sensors checked ( we checked every engine sensor by oscilloscope) -Inertia switch checked ( we did bypass it in case it has some problem but it’s works fine)

Buying second hand Abarth / rear seats

I'm considering buying a second hand 2018 Abarth 595 Competizione (Auto) for $27800AUD.

The car is 6 years old and has only got 10,500KM on it... Is this a red flag? Maybe it was used as a track car or something?

I drive 10-15000KM a year.

Also, i work as a real estate photographer and love a fun ride. I want something fast and fun to drive that is amazing to park in tight spaces (tick tick tick i think?).

My girlfriend does have two teenage kids that i need to drive to school a couple of times a week (13 + 16 y.o) - are the back seats unbearably small? I have only seen Abarth cars online and haven't had the chance to see them in person yet.

Any thoughts / feedback on both points would be VERY much appreciated 👍
