Did any of you guys ever driving Abarth in yours life. I bet no one. So how you know that this particular car is a piece of shit. Actually this is one , I mean Fiat 500 is one of most reliable car that they ever made. Especially Abarth on top of that is most fun to drive, than any big piece of metal with V8 that produced in USA, with some exception of course.

[@ModifyBoost]

I’m a Fiat/Alfa technician here in Long Island NY. These cars, I’ve learned, are not that bad at all (the ones that get beat up seem to have less problems than the ones that don’t). 2013 is the best model year to get. It has the most free flowing exhaust from the factory. When it comes to working on them, they really aren’t that bad. Once the front clip comes off everything is practically right there in easy reach

At times one of the pumps can be a "Lift" pump. Fuel tank design can have something to do with it. I'm wondering if the second pump is also a fail safe to get back home?

I drove a 500 as a rental for about 500 miles a few years back. Loved it. Peppy. Liked the driving characteristics. But the rear seats didn't fold flat which is a major design flaw, since the back seats aren't really usable, so it'd likely become more like a taller CRX if it was my daily driver.

I'd want to watch the pid for fuel pressure on that scan tool under acceleration. Would tell for real, I wouldn't expect an "implausible" code for low fuel pressure, those usually show up when a sensor reads out of it's set range. But either way, in 200k a fuel filter gets nasty. Just changed mine on my 270k mile 18 year old tundra because it rusted through and leaked. I shook it around to dislodge the junk and poured it out the inlet into a cup, came out fairly black and gritty.

I'd look for something more tasteful than the red skull, but I certainly wouldn't go back to factory at those prices. What's the thread pattern on the end of the shifter shaft? Probably something fairly common. But then again, Tyler doesn't really work on his own cars. He's sitting at that weird confluence of being really into the cars but not turning wrenches himself, which is part why everything's so expensive, and he's also not telling his mechanic to look for plan-b options like if something else is a known-workaround, like another aftermarket shifter that doesn't look silly.

An Abarth is the last car I would use sticky summer tires for. It has known driveline reliability problems, and sticky tires put more strain on the driveline. I am a fan of Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season tires- they might last 70 thousand miles and have some snow traction, also a cool scorpion on the sidewall. Unless you want to spend a lot of time and money for rim repair, the second tire number should be 45 or more. My daughter recently hit a curb hard enough to blow a 3 inch long hole in the side of the tire, however it was a 55 series and the rim was still straight.

Wow, the dryness up front is amazing! I went through two transmissions in mine, and when that second one started barfing out it's oil all the time [after an expensive oil seal replacement, great job there Fiat shop guys!!] I just gave up and sold it for WAY MORE than it was worth at that point. So I don;t hate the thing, but jeezus - I've had washing machines with better transmissions! Funny thing, the Miata it replaced died from a similar issue... except that transmission split in half somehow....

[@jgoebel77]

Was it an auto? Also sounds like you might be the problem with 3 transmissions under your belt lol

[@LordNougat]

@@jgoebel77 I don't know how to drive auto, because I am not a girl! Lel, just kidding, I replaced it with a benz that is automatic. I drove that retarded little thing pretty hard, like I did my miata before it; they're just not made to be fun; they're made to be cheap.

[@carljr.99]

Where's Scotty Kilmer to say I told you they are junk 😂.

[@matthewp9015]

CWEJ 99 Pretty much nothing wrong with the car other than accident damage... so how did you come to the ‘junk’ conclusion?

[@abog8117]

I think my favourite part is when he pulled it in the bay to rev it multiple times to get the turbo spinning ... just to shut the engine off

[@gurudave123]

Love the different alloys

[@joe6096]

PRELUDE!!! I had one just like it, that color is called Crystal Blue Metallic. Mine was a 2000 5 speed. I bought it brand new in Dec. Of 1999 and sold it in May of 2010 with 225,000 miles!!!

[@bnighter]

preludes were nice.

I don't care how much the E63 breaks, it just looks so good

[@ErichMoraga]

The Merc's fuel pump issue perfectly explains the behavior it displayed on the dyno. Only problem is deciding if it's worth fixing...

The sunroof lights are awesome

[@whydoihave6neutrals772]

Cheapest Ford Focus rs next?🤔

[@MillVillage]

Cheapest one on Autotrader is $25900 with roughly 40k miles. That happens when dealers mark them up $10k higher than MSRP.

[@whydoihave6neutrals772]

Mill Village any ones with blown head gasket left or recall cover it?

[@chasmcl42]

I think you are getting your pants taken down with those parts prices.

[@CarWizard]

charles mclachlan I think your incorrect.

charles mclachlan he loves it

[@Samon187]

@@CarWizard Hey Wiz Perhaps there are other Sellers, where you can get your parts cheaper, and get the same product? Best regards from Denmark

[@Samon187]

@daniel bean I think i spelled it poorly. My english isnt very good. I mean he must buy parts from some dealer/seller, and perhaps there are other dealer/sellers who offer OEM parts, but cheaper than where he gets them now.

High prices promote viewing!

[@RC_KAI]

It’s funny the way people freak out when the repair costs more than the car but if that repair is going to fix your vehicle and have it running great for more years to come. You just saved lots of money. Always justify your repairs first before you spend tens of thousands on a new or used car.

You drove through a shantytown on your way home - what a commute!

Scotty Kilmer could have told you, those are endless money pits as they age!

Everything that's not a 94 celica is junk to scotty. Ironically tho his has had 240k on the clock for a decade now.

[@jamesh6971]

@@getchasome6230 The Celica has an auto trans he has to shift into neutral at red lights so it doesn't stall.

Friends don't let friends buy Fiat's.

[@openphoto]

Which now includes Rams that come broke off the assembly line..

[@NuclearGrizzly]

@@openphoto I'm old enough to remember when you'd have better luck trying to break an anvil than a RAM truck. My mother has a '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with their I6. She won't let be buy her a new vehicle. That beast just keeps going. I spent more on a repaint than it's worth but she loves it. I had an '06 Rubicon (another I6) that I sold after 200K of hard use. Like you said, now they come from the factory broken. I swear, FIAT was the worse thing to ever happen to Chrysler.

[@sestrelbethesda9450]

Hope you get the wheels tracked and balanced too.
