My 5 cylinder Italian
Discussion
Ok, so as far as cars go it isn't that great, especially compare to the cars you see on here, but its mine and I like it.
Its come a little way since I bought it, changed a few things with the looks, and have spent a small fortune on maintinance, but whats the point of having a car if its forever broken down!
Its a Fiat Bravvo HGT, 2.0 litres, inline 5 cylinder with a couple of breathing and handeling mods (understeers like a god knows what as standard, its a fair amount better now though)
Its currently advertised for sale unfortunately due to loosing my job, but in some respects, I hope it doesn't sell.
this is what it looked like when I bought it, not to my taste at all, but knowing the previous 2 owners I knew it was looked after, not raced everywhere, so the mods did't put me off.

The front bumper is a bit like marmite for many, but personally I realy like it, plus as its an Abarth one, its a factory mod. Also, it has my cold air feed located under the passenger headlight and is much better for cooling the engine over the stock one, just need to repaint (yes, the original owner painted the mesh) the mesh in the bumper black to tidy it up.
It is a bit of a sleeper yes. Although its not the fastest thing in the world, it has enough grunt to entertain and also get you into trouble, while catching out the little oiks in their 1.nothings
I really want to puercharge it at a later date if I am able to keep it, along with a few other bits and pieces, but it would reqire having a second car (2 fixed buckets and a cage arent really helpful when you have a little'un) so will see what happens.
Cheers for the comments guys
