Eurocompulsion Piggyback is installed.

Lots of excitement about this mod, just be sure you guys notice results NOT from a real dyno....yet.

Though their video shows a real dyno briefly, the results they post are part virtual dyno. It can be hard to find this in what they post, because they use real dyno for low end and virtual for top end, "Reported wheel figures measured on DynoJet Dynamometer and calculated Road dyno". The key words there are 'and calculated Road dyno'. So, from talking with them my understanding is that from about 4200 rpms the numbers on their chart are virtual dyno.

They claim the Fiat knows it is on a real dyno and makes the car rich after 4200 rpms when front wheel sensors tell the ECU those wheels are not turning. In our work on real dyno have seen some evidence to support precisely what they are saying, so giving them the benefit of the doubt currently. We have their piggy on our Fiat 124 now. We have a date with a four wheel linked dyno middle of next week. A linked dyno can spin the front wheels to simulate road speed so front wheel sensors think the car is on a real road and we can get a real result.

With Carbon Top...

Test fit, looks amazing. Still need to make rear brackets but bolts to front, clamps to side. As with our ND Miata version the goal is racer shell first, but what you see here is street version with full liner, seals, lexan rear window, etc.

New sway bar prototypes being tested on the project Fiat. Still finalizing details but our aim with these is a balanced, moderate amount of body roll reduction for comfortable road use with aggressive pricing.

New front subframe braces being tested!

A pair of triangular side braces tie the rear of the front subframe to the chassis:

And a cross-brace slides within the factory under panel and ties the two sides together:
