Fiat Coupe Coming?

Make it a fastback....give it the 1.8 T...and I will sleep at the dealership's door!

Sadly, I do not expect a fastback because cost to engineer that is so MUCH HIGHER.

Thus, instead of THIS:

What I expect is fixed roof version that keeps the trunk unchanged, something like what you see on the rally car:

If the Eurocompulsion piggy back has been removed, what are you running now for a tune?

I'm new to the 124 Community but not to Fiat. I just bought a 124 Abarth and have a fully Modded 500 Abarth that I will be selling and/or Parting out and selling. I will be moving a few of my Mods from the 500 over to the 124 in a few weeks. Most importantly, I will be loading my EC Euro+Drive OBD flash tune. At this point I can run Phase 1 on the sport mode and will run the stock sport mode MAP on non sport, Phase 2 will be coming soon. I have goodies on the way from the guys here at Goodwin and a few others I've been working with the last 3 years in the Fiat Community. I was really glad to find you guys since I'm just a few hours up the coast. Once I get the suspension, exhaust, 4C Coil Packs, Forge Atmospheric BOV, Turbosmart WG, and E+D installed I'll make a trip down to let you guys at Goodwin check her out.

One note: this is an Automatic (sorry boys) I brought this one for both my wife and I to drive and she hates driving a manual. I must say I really like the Trans and it will get better once the tune is installed. I really didn't want to buy another fun car to drive just for myself... Stay tuned though I've been known to buy two when I really like the car lol.
