I am from Calgary!! Had my 500 Sport in Azzuro for about a month now, just over 1,000kms on it and H&R springs went in a couple days ago. Hoping for some custom/different wheels for next spring and we will see what else I can get in there.

Do you like that intake John?

For mods currently I'm running Eibach pro kit with a road race intake and a magnaflow cat back. Intake is great, sounds really throaty and adds a noticeable amount of power. Definitely worth the money!

I have the same setup minus the springs. The intake was done first then the muffler a month ago ... love both and the difference is great.Waiting to hear details on the RRM chip mod.Love my car, the first one I have really had serious fun driving.

Yeah Id never have guessed a 101 hp car would be so much fun to drive. Definetley more fun since ive done those mods. Road races ecu mod will be available shortly and looks like they are getting between 6-8 hp to the wheel

Well I think when you have a 200, 300, 400hp car how much of it can you really use in regular driving 30%, maybe more maybe less, however with 100hp you can be using a lot more all the time which is just a lot more exciting. My Dad has an R8 and I drive it a fair bit but if I hit redline in second gear I am already pushing my luck in the legal department let alone getting up there, but it do love it

Were the Fiat you can give it a lot more and not be risking prison or a big ticket at least, plus small unassuming cars do not garner as much attention from the police in my experience as well.

Anyway I am really thinking about one of those RRM intakes before I drop the big money on wheels, what about mats for winter anyone picked up the OEM rubber ones? Do the dealers carry them I have only seen them on 500 Madness so far.

Agreed. My previous cars were a 238 hp Mazda rx8 and a 200 hp vw gti. As the old saying goes, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

I am also looking at rubber mats, apparently the dealers now have them in stock
