I would guess they are there. Just like they are in the MINI market.

 

Ever since Palo Uber took over Alta, I've tuned out.

 

Careful, Way is now working in the Fiat market....:biggrin5:

 

The Fiat aftermarket is emerging and is a good fit for those with experience in the MINI realm. It just makes good business sense.

I too was working on building a Fiat 500 based forum but early on a client of mine picked up the domain from me as I didn't have the time resources at that time to work on it fast enough to bring it to market as the 500 was being introduced.

 

Abarth is admittedly fun to drive. Not as fun as a MINI, but fun.

The only problem is, from a performance standpoint, how far can you take that platform? In my uneducated guess, I'm guessing not very. I have seen a grand total of.....zero of these on the track. It makes me think there isn't going to be much of an aftermarket demand for go fast parts for these things. Add that to the fact that sales have been a disappointment, maybe not a disaster, but still lower than what was projected, the question is how big is the market, and how will it grow?

'Course there will always be a market for shiny stuff and parts that claim to bring the performance level up to that of a McLaren, just like in the MINI world.

 

Soon Thumper will be making BVH for the A-BARF and adding NOS.

 

Wow....so this has turned into a, "lets bash a vendor thread". So.....i have use some Alta stuff: intake, still sounds great, does its job, no BS "our intake gives you a million hp", they all do the same thing. I have had a Sportone cat back for years now, yea I have had to weld the flex joint once, but the abuse I give it, just as good has anything out there. Agree, that the quality of their cat back seems not as good now. My Alta header, still sounds amazing, power, not sure it helps, but sounds....bad azz. My Alta rear sway bar, does just fine for my spirited non-track driving.

Do I need to go into my M7 stuff now? Guys, ANY VENDOR, has their good and bad
Thought this was, " The fun and friendly Mini site"?

 

Oh God who woke you up?

FYI~ This is a Free Country and we can all speak our minds even on web fourms.

Why don't you go BS on the Thumper Fourm since you have nothing usefull to bring to the conversation as always.

 

Yes we can & so can jiminni me thinks.

You're just tempting someone with lines like that....

 

:lol: ostcount :lol:

 

So, this has gone on for a few days here now, I come in and make some valid statements, and Im the bad guy......lol! And Dave.....you don't like what I say....grow up and reread what you told me.

 

Blah blah blah...

Give it rest.

Ya'll need to stop this back and forth garbage.

Like a bunch of hens needing to get in the last cluck..

 

Still some good products, seems they just came out with some high end coilovers......still love my original M7 coilovers.....

How do I get rid of the emoticon at the heading?

 

"The Fun and Friendly Mini site"

 

^^^ Yes they are trying had to be. :yesnod:

 

Eh... I don't see the problem... It keeps the other sites crowed busy.

 

It doesn't matter. All those racetracks look the same in photographs anyway!
