You can hear the engine running in the video.

As long as no rain is forecast, you should be fine; especially if you apply in the evening where the sun won't be beating down on it.

@@DropTopTees Thanks for tip(and the reply)!

Fiat turbo can leak oil

No idea. That is a new one on me :/ The tshirt site is droptoptees.myspreadshop.com/

You're welcome.

I have not done it yet. You might want to check for MX-5 videos, too. I bet the procedure is similar. You may also find instructions with pictures only on ameridan's blog: 21stcenturyfiat124spider.wordpress.com/author/c230/

If you want a manual, be patient and wait for one. Abarths are better stock, but if you are looking to mod the car, it is better to get a Classica or Lusso. The second half of the 2019 model year had a recall (the only recall these cars ever had) for a water pump or something like that. With any convertible, check out the top and make sure it has been taken care of; they are expensive to replace.

They are on Amazon but you don't need one. I've discovered they don't really block the sun from the screen.

you're welcome

We've taken ours on 9 day trips twice now. I don't mind at all. I'm an inch shorter than you and about the same weight. Obviously though, the personal comfort one feels is going to change, perhaps significantly from person to person. I love mine, even on long trips. Your experience may vary... PS: you will get used to the size feeling after you drive it every day. Our van feels like a mobile house now...lol.

Mine has never gone more than 2 days without starting...lol What you are talking about is how the brick works. It isn't really something you can recall.

Hard to say. They came without front plate holders attached. Somewhere along the way, someone added the one on your car.

If you look at Itsy from the front, you see the colors of the Italian flag in the correct order. If you look at Itsy from the rear, you see the colors of the Italian flag from the correct order. That is the reason for the orientation change.

It really varies from car to car (and parking situations) how much debris is in them

You are right. I just changed to the correct link. Thank you.

you're welcome!

I flipped my baffles inside the can so the hoses would not run over each other.

I agree. But the baffles you said should be on the oil in side. Shouldn’t the baffles be on the air out side?

@@carll693 Seriously, it's been so long ago, I forget what the instruction said. I did it the way they said, but flipped sides. I've always seen the baffle on the IN side though.

thank you.

thank you

Glad we could help!

Heck yeah. Detailing spray or waterless wash. Don't swirl your microfiber. Cross hatch.

Are you sure you aren't driving an Audi?

You're welcome. I am late doing my 2024 update :( Been very busy this year so far.

Its weird how much it adds to your vehicle's personality. You definitely feel the difference.

It is sold as a visor for the CX-3, MX-5 on amazon. Unfortunately, it looks better than it works. It seems the sun is rarely in a position where the visor can do its job.

We use the iOttie. I think it is available on Amazon or from Wal-Mart. I really like the way it allows me to position my phone exactly where i want it for driving.

@@DropTopTees Ok thanks, been looking for quite a while for a phone holder since there aren't many places to put one in the fiat.

Many parts are fairly easy to obtain. There are 4-5 companies that specialize in parts for vintage fiats, the 124 in particular. AS for good mechanics, it really depends on where you live. There are some absolutely fantastic mechanics out there for Fiats. There are also clubs like Fiat Club America filled with people who will gladly help other owners out on technical issues, mechanical advice, etc.

No. Many of them were hidden under the trees. Was in the upper 30s for moderns and ~20 vintage.

I just counted using the photo we take of each car as it enters thew show field: we had 37 modern 124s and 27 vintage 124s. 64 124s total. I think that is the most moderns so far for a Freakout Concorso. Also, some cars come to Freakout and do not go to the Concorso, so there may have been a few more of each at the Freakout.

I have heard a lot of people say that about the Cherohala. We didn't have time to drive that, but we did do Diamondback.

The problem is the vast number of viewers won't watch a road run that long. The goal of this video was to let people who have never driven the Dragon a chance to see what it is.

I respect that, but I would put myself in the category of wanting to see the whole thing. I just took my spider, Amelia, up to the tail for the first time with Fiat on the Dragon, and had so much fun! That’s why I’d love to see it - I could see how we both did on our first runs! In any case, glad you got to run it, and had a great time!

@@Agililord Definitely a fun road and with such little traffic, it was even better.

you are complaining about a road with "too many tight bends" and questioning why people want to drive it? Weird.

The attraction is the high number of turns in 11 miles. There are numerous other routes in this locale that, in my opinion, are better road runs. But this one is the most famous.

Can you give us some example roads? Would love to look at them and see what you get to drive in the UK.

@@Chilicharger665 Not questioning why people want to drive it, I'm questioning why such an un-impressive road is a tourist attraction in a country the size of the US. Also, if you drive sports cars a lot you would know that tight bends and having to change gear can get tiresome after a while.

@@DropTopTees There are literally 1000s of great roads in the UK. Any country road outside of a town or city will be a great driving road. Tourist roads are the A82 Glencoe, A5 Capel Curig, Cambrian Way, Llanberis Pass, Honister Pass, Hellfire Pass, Horseshoe Pass, Isle of Skye, Kirkstone Pass, etc. My personal favourites are the B4405 in Wales, The A493 Estuary Road Wales. ALL the roads that are in the National Parks are stunning. ua-cam.com/video/d8IMdfwjMUc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/OcsUUbM-0og/v-deo.html

The biggest issue will be getting body panels is someone hits you. FIAT is quite slow with those.

It is very easy!

Yep!

All I have done is routine scheduled maintenance.

Are you in the DFW area?

@@DropTopTees yes, i’m up here in Celina

@@longlostlimit Oh man.. Last week the DFW Fiat Club - Fiat Club America met up at the Buc-ees in Denton, drove over to Bebos in Pilot Point then cruised past Celina to Eden Hill Winery. Email me at dfwfiatclubfca@gmail.com and I will add you to our mailing list for our newsletter. We have at least 1 meet up and or cruise a month!

I bought mine on Amazon. I have searched and searched for the parent company online, but can't find it.

thank you

I have no idea as Fiat has never sold the Punto in the US. :/

Kind of an extreme option. I use mine depending on time of day and position of the sun.

@@DropTopTees i deleted mine bc i am just at the right height where i need the 1/15 of the windshield they obscure to see red lights without stopping 15-20 feet from the light... Very specific personal situation I know.

@@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup Totally understand that!

You're welcome.

you're welcome

For people who might not understand what he is saying, it may seem counterintuitive, but modern headlights don't emit light directly down the road. Older headlamps simply projected light forward. As lighting became more refined, light bulbs started to project their light to the side, where it was focused by parabolic mirrors. Concentrating, shaping, and focusing the beam at specific distances down the road makes your headlights brightest where you need them to be. Halogens do this. Early LED replacements for halogens, especially the cheaper ones, frequently failed to place the emitters where they would best take advantage of the mirror effect built into the head lamp assembly. Most LEDs on the market today have the LED emitters aligned properly to most effectively reflect their light down the highway, so aligning the emitters is no longer the issue it used to be.

It doesn't have bad reception. It is just, on this car, it isn't quite as strong as the original antenna. If you are mostly in city or near it, you won't notice a difference.

@@DropTopTees I live in British Columbia and we have mountains etc.

@felix1470 you are so right with mountains. With regular antenna you loose signal on the Malahat. I switch to music Bluetooth off my iPad mini in those situations. Otherwise around Victoria plus north of Malahat reception isn’t bad. Likely north of Vancouver on sea to sky would be awful though.
