AmyAtAdamsAustralia Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) We had the pleasure of detailing this little Fiat 500 Twin Air. With a 0.9ltr twin turbo engine you can easily underestimate its performance. The owner of this car took us for a ride before the detail was booked. My goodness! This little rocket can move! This car only had 9000 kms on the clock but hasn't seen a decent wash, seal or polish since it was created. We had treated it to a 2 stage polish with the Cyclo and Flex. Finished with Liquid Paint Sealant as this car is a daily driver, then topped with Patriot Wax- we ran out of time to get interior shots but enjoy the shine any way.

Of course could use some bigger turbos, but on top of that the owner says that fuel lasts 2 months at a time, which is a big gain considering the rising prices of fuel!

I will ask... with the bigger turbos, won't there be significantly more turbo lag (insert Evo VIII-X)? If they have thought of that, wouldn't one smaller turbo and one larger one be good for better gains and less lag in that small of an engine?

Chewy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Great city cars! Would hate to drive one across AU or the U.S., but they're great for their intended purpose. Great job on the correction too! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Neat! Small cars can be a blast. Too bad so many of them are just so goofy looking. AmyAtAdamsAustralia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with the size of that engine compartment I don't think an any larger turbo would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job on the correction too! Chris Most definitely, however driving this back to the owner along side a B-double semi was enough to get the palms sweaty as well!
