TRANSFORMING My Abarth 595 Competizione [

[@jeduardoslb1]

Sam, it's not a good look having the tips from akrapovic, and not the exhaust! I know you don't wanna spend the cash on a full one, but you could at least take out the akrapovic logo from the tips...

[@seenthroughglass]

I’m actually with you here. Will be taking the Akrapovic stickers off. Just wanted the carbon tips not the logo

[@somebloke2238]

It's like putting an M badge on a 320d

[@Johnson54652]

It’s his car he can do whatever he wants lol

[@Accost2u]

What does it matter? I bet the akra exhaust muffler is made by the same factory and they sell the tips separately on their site anyways.

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

Very lol

[@DKTuninghq]

Pleasure to have worked on the little monster. Also to meet you and twiggy ! Can’t wait for the next mods ❤️✌🏻

Seeing a lot of negative comments from the Abarth community about you in the comments here, what’s the score?

Finally an affordable hot hatch built series, so refreshing to see this content. I love the high end stuff, but for the vast majority of people this is where it is at. Thank you Sam.

[@jryalls]

Nice one Sam. I’d recommend some performance brake pads, fluid and some braided lines before you go on track.

[@seenthroughglass]

Yes! Already looking into this. Thanks for watching

[@denisspratt926]

Finally a new video with the Abarth. This here might be the most interesting car you have at the moment. Not that the others are bad, but this is a car that many people actually can afford. Keep up the good work.

[@DKTuninghq]

The Abarth are crazy little cars for the money

[@markgilbertson1564]

Abarth? It is a Fiat 500 with a body kit.

[@opskier2]

@@markgilbertson1564 there is not a Fiat 500 with turbo....only the Abarth ones have turbo. And remember that Abarth started his history with the exhausts, and the modern Abarth also sounds very special, and is one of the first cars to include an optional exhaust directly from the factory.... We know Abarth was something more.....but Fiat has done a very good job with the brand name.

[@StefABtv]

*Yes mate. Some tasty mods on your car now. You are prime for a remap now. With those breathers you can prob get 220 and around 280ft lb. you can get more if you went sport cat you will be closer to 230 by 290 ft lb but it does make the the car much louder and asbo. Completely safe with that 1446 Garret turbo and believe me that will transform the car. Glad you are having fun in the Abarth*

[@seenthroughglass]

You know I always like a bit of an Asbo soundtrack! Ha. Plenty of room for growth ;) Hopefully see you around sojn

What i love about you and your channel,is that,you're so relatable and your enthusiasm is simply brilliant! Keep up the great work Sam...

[@khusyairi]

Loving this, more of this please sam. N im also loving the fact that u dont go the conventional road of every car youtuber in the world of doing a gr yaris as their project car. I guess that’s y ure so refreshing to watch sam. U always seem to take the roads less traveled. When everybody else’s lining up to buy huracans, u buy a 360. N when u did buy something conventional, the 911 T, u did the unconventional thing of lugging it off all over the world. I think its safe to say that ill be a fan for life. Keep the good stuff coming!!

[@murdoch9106]

I have been begging and begging and begging and BEGGING for another one of these! SOOOO Excited for this thing! Such awesome little beasts!

[@samtomkins3036]

What a great video, I too had an amazing experience with DK tuning, first class service from the moment I pulled in and had some major modifications done to my Abarth (FMIC, sports cat, remap) I couldn't be happier.. Be heading back soon 👍

[@DKTuninghq]

[@stewartnoel9810]

I had stopped watching you videos. But the Abarth content looks interesting. You may have got me back watching

[@fskof]

This is going to be a fun build to watch. Nothing over the top ... just nice improvements over stock. I'm seriously thinking about purchasing a nice used Abarth just to have fun with. It's more fun to drive a slow car fast... than a fast car slow!

[@NickG24]

This is a cool project. I like it and can’t wait to see on track. Everyone seems just to do exhausts these days and forget about induction which is how you can get some really interesting old school noises! As a kid, you never had the money to get the proper bits like coil overs - it was usually a set of the cheapest lowering springs or actually lopping a coil or two off with an angle grinder! This makes me want to have some fun with hot hatches again - these mods pale into insignificance compared with paying the monthlies on a £30k loan and looks like more fun! Can second someone else’s thoughts on brake pads - think I got a set of Ferrodo DS2500 for a track day I did in an MGTF and they didn’t fade once.

[@paultaylor9652]

Great series, Sam! Love the biposto project ☺️ There is a guy calles Philip Kaess in Germany who is also doing a Abarth projekt at the moment. He is going completely nuts, but maybe you can get some inspiration from him. Especially the axels are a weakpoint of the Abarths. They move and twist while withstanding forces on a racetrack. 😉

Great video as always! Make sure you get the car mapped tho, trust me it will transform the car and not just in terms of power, the drivability in general is so so much better and usable. I’ve got a stock turismo with just a map and it’s 212bhp, not crazy power but I think it’s more than enough for the car but like I said the drivability is so much better for everyday driving (of course on track too) and it puts the power down so well.

[@DKTuninghq]

they map up so easily

[@henryrobinson2635]

Pairing that exhaust with a 200 Cell sports cat would be spot on

[@DKTuninghq]

totally agree there :)

[@gregmayled]

Your ABARTH actually produces nearly 200bhp from stock, even though the manufacturer claim is 178 bhp. Similar with the Turismo that has the same Turbo as the Comp, which has around 190hp when it’s claimed to have 170.

[@150stroke1]

How much did DK Tuning pay you or discount to get your custom? They are banned from the main abarth groups, lie through their teeth and have messed up countless abarths behind their facade of marketing. I understand you maybe weren't to know as they 'seem' legit at first glance but these guys are cowboys as others have mentioned and when it comes to having your abarth mapped, I would certainly recommend going onto the abarth owners club or modified abarth on Facebook and asking the community where the best places are... I've driven abarths mapped by DK myself and know plenty of people who've had no end of crap to put up with afterwards. Listen to the wider unbiased community, not just the seemingly friendly locals who are biased in their favour and will deny what the majority will tell you 👍🏻
