Re: Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?
So it's been quite some time since I did a mod to the Abarth but I just ordered something. That something is a Euro Compulsion V3 intake. My current intake is the V2 from E.C. and it's an open filter, this new one goes directly into the stock air box and uses a Sprint dry, drop-in filter. I did this for a couple reasons, #1 is I'm trying to cut down on heat soak and IAT temps in the summer. From time to time the car goes into limpmode on hot days, while other hot days no problem, so I'm trying something here. Now for #2, the looks. My red pipes have turned an almost pink, especially when you look at the red of my stock air box. I chose a black intake pipe and bought a used black Ram-air pipe from a forum member an hour ago, this way it matches up. I should have NO problem selling my E.C. V2 intake, its going to be 5 years old when it comes off.
It's not going to make the BOV sound as much, if any, so I'll just have to get used to that, we'll see. I'll post a pic in a little bit, stay "tuned"

Gonna be down on hp too, I assume the open intake claims more power.

What about a larger/more efficient intercooler? Or, have you done that already?

What's your 3 season set up?
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Three season set up is currently the stock 17"s with a mish-mash of rubber that came on them when I got the car- looking to paint those white before the end of winter and mount 225's on the front and 195's in the rear. Winter mode is the base model 15" steelies you see painted Subaru STI BBS Gold- with studded Nokian Hakkapelita 9's in front and unstudded Firestone Winterforce in the rear (car has a tendancy to understeer upon initiation with no forward bite in the slippery stuff- so this balances it out to a great neutral set-up)
