Stormi from Finland !

[Stormi]

A Warm Greeting To Everyone !!!

Own a Crossover Black Bravo T-Jet Sport 08´ and always loved the Fiat
500. You never know, might purchase a 500 someday, so better be a
member here also, in advance ;)

[.Lefteris.]

You are on the right way my friend Stormi :icon_thumright:
:welcomeon500:

[Stormi]

I think so too :icon_thumleft:

First got to know Wreckmaster and now VilleV, so now I´m here to read
and learn !

The Finnish Autokeskus ( Autocenter ) is going to start import the Abarth
500 also, so that is good news. Love all the models too, but kind of
petrolhead when talking about power + torque.

Seriously ... This "white 500" is a long term Fiat enthusiast ( I´ve heard,

We all have a common interest and that should bound us strongly together.

I did just go through all the pictures of your car Stormi and I must say it is a real beauty:icon_thumleft: Specially like the exhaust, which makes it look really sporty together with the stripes:icon_thumright:

But I am not so sure about the armrest tough.....lol

Thank´s I like it also ! Armrest? C´mon ... this is allready Evo II of it lol

I phoned to a car dealer in the town of Pori, and they have a 1.4 2008
100 Hp gasoline version Fiat 500. Mod Blue and 24 000 km on the clock.
Still factory warranty left. I got pretty tempted of the offer ( no cash
between my car/ the new one. Also I can move my Brock B 21 17" wheels
to the 500 and can sell my exhaust, ´cause I have the original left.

Or then just over with the feaver and wait untill the years go by .....lol

The 500:

http://www.nettiauto.com/fiat/500/2854977

Imported from Italy by the firm, so it might have more goodies than standard version ...

[wreckmaster]

Looking good Stormi:icon_thumleft: And with a nice color:icon_thumright: In Norway this shade of blue is called Blue Ferrari:cool: Mod Blue is the international name I belive:) So you are thinking of changing your Bravo for the 500? Why not find an excuse to buy it for your wife, so you can keep bothlol Those 15" multispokes on the pictures are those summer or winter wheels? I have those for winter and 16" multispoke for summer:icon_thumleft: Follow your heart my friend, you only live once:D

[VilleV]

or, just wait until next spring and go straight for the Abarth...:cool: Altough its a nice looking 500 with a rare colour!!! These are always difficult decisions.lol

[Stormi]

Yeeesss !

I hate the word "wait" lol Either one then...;)

[Stormi]

Saw a 500fans.com registerplate frame ! From where could I purchase it?
Thanks :)

[wreckmaster]

Send a PM to Lefteris:icon_thumleft: It is not a frame, but a decal:icon_thumright:

[Stormi]

I did that, thanks !

DECAL, then.:cool:

[VilleV]

So can we make a guess that you need it for a 500 then?:D Tho it would look good on the tail of a Bravo too!lol

[wreckmaster]

So can we make a guess that you need it for a 500 then?:D Tho it would look good on the tail of a Bravo too!lol

It is important to show other people where you belong, no mather what you drive:icon_thumleft:

Would even look good on a Kia Cèed or a Corolla, because it would show people what you really would like to drivelol No comparising to the Bravo by the way:cool:

[Stormi]

Can send a picture how it looks in Bravos tail ;) Have to order the
other one when the 500 arrives.

[wreckmaster]

Will keep you informed !

[VilleV]

You have a really nice wife!biggrin2

[Stormi]

Now I love her even more lol ( I do ).

Will take the contract in written version from her, just in case :rolleyes:;)

[VilleV]

That might be wise! You never know when the wind´s going to change, if you know what i mean...;):D

[wreckmaster]

No, haven´t ordered, yet ... biggrin2 Bravo is going to stay in our family. so the only problem is that then I have two lolcars, Fiats :icon_thumleft:

[Stormi]

I´m not sure from where the " pelican " showed up in the first place ...

[wreckmaster]

Me either! I just read it in a newspaper that had a story about this:)

[Stormi]

Ok :)

Perhaps there was originally something wrong with the drivers Pelican lol

[.Lefteris.]

:icon_thumright:

[Stormi]

Found a really interesting 500 for sale ! 500 1.4 Sport and one female
owner with low milage ...

What is most intresting? The 500 or the low milage female owner?:cool:


:roflmfao::399:

[VilleV]

^
:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

[Stormi]

The ideal thing ( if single ) would be meet both and then tune + drive
with the 500.:cool:

[wreckmaster]

Sounds like a plan Stormi:icon_thumleft: When are you going to see different 500`s for sale? It is fun to have the oppertunity to choose between different cars:icon_thumleft: But difficultlol

[Stormi]

Maybe I still waite for the right one + have to have the cash flow also lol

Here´s the proof by the way:

http://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=59524

[wreckmaster]

Hope you find the right 500 soon:icon_thumleft:

Looking good with sticker on the Bravo also:)

[Stormi]

Yes, I´ll be hunting high & low ( A-ha ) for good exaples. The prices must
be lower though, 2008 models are still in 16 000 - 17 000e ( Sport & Lounge
1.4 ... ).

Yes you must also have humour, but I´m dead serious with the 500fans-
badge ...;)

Ps. Saw your statement in the picture Wrecky, thanks !

[.Lefteris.]

Super! :icon_thumleft:

[VilleV]

I sure would like to hear what kind of sound those tailpipes make!!!:cool:

[wreckmaster]

I sure would like to hear what kind of sound those tailpipes make!!!:cool:

X2! lol

[.Lefteris.]

Love the stripes also! :icon_thumright:

[Stormi]

http://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=57606

^^ My favourite ( Lefteris, you can put this in attached thumbnails
if you want ).

Yes , I still think that the exhaust + the stripes were TOP 2 mods I
did. Like them very much :icon_thumright:

Glad to hear that these pleases others too, thanks :icon_thumleft:

[.Lefteris.]

:icon_thumright:

[.Lefteris.]

Love the wheels also! :)

[wreckmaster]

And it also looks really nice and shiney:icon_thumleft:

[Stormi]

Thank you ! Yes, looks very good in this big picture, even I took the pic
with my cell.

A intake kit coming in 4.1 2010 with six extra horses, some torque + the
sounds. So, together now 190 Hp and 290 Nm.

[VilleV]

Is the fiat badge on the front grille also black? Sweet!:cool:

[Stormi]

:icon_thumright:

Yes, because I wan to to modify differently than the main stream ;) I do
have the American lamin-x film in the front lights, cornering lights and
also on the back- and front Fiat- logos.

The stripes are so present, showing themselves, so I think that some
minor adds are in order. The interior is blue/ black, so continued the
blue outside by painting the brake calipers with blue also.

[Stormi]

And it also looks really nice and shiney:icon_thumleft:

You´re still the Master, Master :icon_thumright:

[wreckmaster]

You´re still the Master, Master :icon_thumright:

:peace::thankyoubow::thankyoubow::peace:





:roflmfao:

[Stormi]

... You are :)

[wreckmaster]

:thanks2:

[Stormi]

4.1 got the intake kit made by Martelius. They used Sprint Filter parts
( including the carbon air box ) and the car sounds deep and fabulous
from 2000 rpm:s and up. Expecting some 6.Hp more + torque.

Also ordered these, two, and will attach them up from side indicators
a la Ferrari-style.

+ the intake kit

[VilleV]

Uuh!:cool: I think those Italia badges are really classy! Will fit any italian car, or motorbike for that matter, very well!!!

[Stormi]

First thought that the ITALIA- text is too much, but think it suits it well.
Yes, only 25e delivered to the home door, so not much.

Expect to match well with my cars black/ blue interior and with the blue
brake calipers :icon_thumright:

[wreckmaster]

I think it will look good Stormi:icon_thumleft: And welcome back to the forum:icon_thumright:

[Stormi]

I think it will look good Stormi:icon_thumleft: And welcome back to the forum:icon_thumright:

I think so too ;) Good to be here :icon_thumleft:

[wreckmaster]

How is it going with your plans for a 500?

[Stormi]

Well, I guess first of all, I have to waite for the prices to go down of the
500:s. 20 000e for a new 100 Hp is still a lot ;)

[Stormi]

Well, well ! A year ago had allready the summer tires in my Bravo but
now it looks that it will take some time more for that.

Waiting impatienly for the spring with my RC ;)
http://www.tamiya-4wd.com/shop/images/tamiya_forkids/19702.JPG

[VilleV]

How are you finding the Rc now that the roads are somewhat melted? Enough power?

[Stormi]

Have to be careful with the studs but the power is great from the RC.
Being non turbo the peak comes fully in use in over 6000 RPM´s ;)

More info soon:

http://faimg1.forum-auto.com/mesimages/169348/206Rc%20suisse1.jpg

[Stormi]

Back to Italia and Fiat :icon_thumleft:

22.3 got the RC sold and found this Bravo T-Jet 150 in Grigio Caldo
colour !

2007 model, 17 000 km driven + with some extras. Bought 17" Moda
Volares with 225/ 45 tires. Some slight mods have been done allso...
Painted the brake calipers in Monza Red, tinted Fiat- logos and also
the rear fog- and reverse light.

No exhaust pipe in Dynamic, so maybe a Supersprint 1 x 2 exhaust is
in order ! :)

http://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=64193

[wreckmaster]

Welcome back Stormi:icon_thumleft: Glad you came to your senses and bought a real car againlol Now you are once again a part of the Fiat family:cool:

Your new Bravo looks cool!!! Where you not satified with the Pug?

[Stormi]

Thank you my friend !

I won´t write a novel of the RC here ;) but I guess Italian cars and
expecially Fiat, is what I love. During the 2.months with the Pug, I
really missed the Fiat and the feeling & soul in it.

No harm done, as I sold it away and found this one :icon_thumright:

The colour is great, being metallic one, and suits the car extremely
fine. The interior is brown also and the feeling inside is quite classy.
I got with it the foglights, automatic air-con, spare wheel, block
heater, radio button controll in the steering wheel, double wheels,
16" Lineacessori ones, metallic colour, etc.

Talked allready with the Martelius Exhaust here and they warmly did
recommend the Supersprint for my Fiat:

http://www.supersprint.com/eng/SPP2000000816106.asp

10 to 15% increase with the BHP + some torque and looks the way I
prefer.

[wreckmaster]

Is it the same as you had on your last Bravo? Looks good:cool:

[VilleV]

Nice to see you over here too Stormi! Offcourse I already knew about your decision to come back to the Fiat group from FTCF-forum but its really great to see you here too!

That car of yours is really starting to look cool with the new wheels and painted calibers. You think you might go in to a different tuning direction with this one?

[Stormi]

Is it the same as you had on your last Bravo? Looks good:cool:

No. The new one is 1 x 2 ( two outlets ) and Italian, made by Supersprint.
Old was 2 x 2 ( four outlets ), and parts by Simons and custom made by
Martelius Exhaust :)

[Stormi]

Nice to see you over here too Stormi! Offcourse I already knew about your decision to come back to the Fiat group from FTCF-forum but its really great to see you here too!

Thanks Ville ! You really should take your 500 and cruise down to Southern
Finland and meet the FTCF members :) Not just me lol Well hope to see you
in summer :icon_thumleft:

Yes. I´m allready modifying this to a " touch of class " No, really ! :)
The colour and the interior wants it to be done ;) and allso want to do
the different way this time.

Slight changes with good parts gives the best result of the Bravo.

The old Bravo and the new one: http://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=64190

[Abarthlyness]

Welcome back Stormi, and nice to "meet" you!!!

What a beautiful Fiat you have got there!

[Stormi]

Hello & nice to "meet" you to, Abarthlyness :icon_thumright:

Thank you for the compliment, I do like it too ;) Will send more photos

:super:

[Stormi]

Hello all !

Some mods have been done during the last summer, so here´s pictures
of them. Bought the front grilles wich belongs to Seat Altea 2005 and
my father - in - law did the work as I did the design work:

http://i9.aijaa.com/t/00196/6545652.t.jpg (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6545652.jpg)

Also made the mirrors and the b- pillars with carbon look vinyl:

http://i10.aijaa.com/t/00519/6476688.t.jpg (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6476688.jpg)

Otherwise no worries with the Fiat. The 3- year service is done in 6. October
and just 28 000 km´s after Bravo just had it´s 3- year birthday:icon_thumright:

[wreckmaster]

Your mods are looking fab as always Stormi! It is so nice to have another Bravo cruiser in here alsolol

[Stormi]

Thank´s - Tack :icon_thumright:

Want to pop in here from time to time as we have been discussing last
in the Finnish FTCF- site ;)

So good news that you decided to continue with the Bravo and the 500
is rock´n rolling and in good shape :icon_thumleft:

Saw some pics here of the 500 C EsseEsse and what a package that is !!
Sabelt´s seats looks also awesome :cool: :)

[Stormi]

AAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, THE LAMBO :eek:

No, no. No joke here ! Just a little example. ( Lol ). I really was thinking this kit along time and now have ordered it !

[VilleV]

What´s the cost of installing such kit? I´ve been thinking about it too but I´ll propably wait till my dambers need replacing anyway.

[Stormi]

Go for it Ville :icon_thumright:

Prices do vary ! In my old one costs were 500e´e, parts & installion and
it was made in Raisio, 2008.

Different firm, also in Raisio, Autolife, parts & installion 390e !

Nice!:cool: It sits so much lower now and that cap between the wheel and the fender is so much smaller!

[Il Consigliere]

Looks good. :icon_thumleft:

You might have a chance to manage the winter with that lowering, just might. :rolleyes: I'm just jealous because I haven't got the guts to do it myself.:D

Yes, the looks & the balance of the car is now correctly done, according
to my opinion :icon_thumright:

Not too rough ride, just exclusive :cool:

Thank you ! 30/30 lowering is pretty mild, but have to be careful with
the pumps and iced snow on the roads.

Don´t be jealous cause´ you have the same guts. It´s called SISU. :icon_thumright:

Final mods in 2010. Beloved mother in law made the EVO III version of
the center armrest ( from my instructions :) )

Center stripes goes with the colour of the cabin. Armrest is movable away
and you can move it forward and back.

[VilleV]

That´s nice work from your mother in law! Now that I´ve seen the US version seats with the arm rest I really want one in my car too!

So are you thinking of buying one then? :icon_thumleft: Would suit you very well if you put on some 16" wheels and lowered it a little bit:icon_thumleft:

[Stormi]

Mmmmm ... My wife still says NO lol

I´d love to lower the 500 and atleast 16" Wheels :icon_thumright:

This is what I would like:

http://www.nettiauto.com/fiat/500/3758138 ( Also leathers included )

This is an interesting car. Last time it was on market last summer / early autumn. The opening pic on the ad is the same as last time. That time it was listed by Outlet Car Center. Maybe the owner got bored to lowering during the hard winter:icon_rolleyes:.

This car has been importer's press car and can be seen in many articles on Finnish magazines. See e.g.

http://tekniikanmaailma.fi/autot/koeajot/tm-koeajo-fiat-500-12-lounge

It doesn't show here, but the interior materials have changed afterwards. I like the black&white combination tho, it looks very good :icon_thumleft:. We were looking this car before we bought our 500 but it had one defect - no ESC.

So, good luck for the discussions Stormi. biggrin2

[Stormi]

Thank´s IC ^

Just talked with my friend a while ago, and he stated that one very
good choice ( + reasonable ) is, that one could import a 500
Abarth from Germany.

Basic version are about 12 - 13000 Euros + taxes ( 5000 -6000 E´s
to Finland ( ? ).

I do love all the models, but I know myself being a petrolhead who
prefers power.

[Stormi]

Ordered the Brock B 21 71 wheels for my Bravo, and will move
these for my 500 when the time is ready to purchase a
second car in our family.

Looks quite good in a 500 also :icon_thumright:

Very good looking wheel and not too common (in Finland at least). :cool:

[Stormi]

Wreckmaster: Thank´s and I sure think too that it will fit
both Nuova Bravo and the 500 :icon_thumright:

Il Consigliere: Very true. Have seen these wheels in two
Nuova Bravo´s ( The other in my old Black one ).

The Brock is easy to clean, like the matt black inside
the wheel and because of the wheels spokes comes
to the line of the wheel itself, it gives a sight that
it is actually one inch larger.

[Stormi]

The wheels are now in black :

Stormi, where did you do the paint job for the wheels? How has the durability been so far?

[Stormi]

In a place called Scuderia Stormi, namely painted these myself lol
Finns may know the paint mark, Miranol, and it performes well on
the wheels.

[Il Consigliere]

Excellent! I thought painting the insides of the current spokes to dark. We'll see after summer tyre season if that will happen.

I think that might be a good idea! Fiat also sells the "sport" alloys with darker insides, but I dont think it´s dark enough to have a good contrast. i hope you deside to go for it so we can see the end result!:cool:

I think I know of which wheels you speak Ville. Are those the ones that come on the NA Sport model?

I really like those wheels.

[VilleV]

^
Actually they are different, but I didn´t remember that the NA model is bi-colour too! The NA 16" model is a new one all together and only available for the NA market. Or to be precise it´s not a new model, only the two tone colouring is new, but the 15" sport alloy has been available as single colour and bi-colour from the start. It´s the model which Consigliere posted the small picture of. I agree with you Mike, the NA 16" wheel is stunning!

[Abarthlyness]

Yeah, I love them too.

I am extremely excited to see if they will be offereing different wheel designs for the Abarth variant once released.:icon_thumleft:
