Ken if you don't answer my lug questions I'm going to cut your Chan off LOL I'd like to know if they come in black and if they would work with stock Rays. Who makes them? I'd like to do a search online also.
DL can a Chevy v-8 be stuffed in there? LOL what engine in the Abarth?
Luna driving is what makes our cars real. Scratches and dings are badges of honor, hey if things get too bad a repaint or rap will fix it.

No need to tell me this. If you looked at my Miata, a Championship winning Solo II and ProSolo car, in person, you'd see it's one of those 10 (20?) footer cars riddled with stone chips and cone bites.
My race bikes only photographed well because my toolbox contained duct tape in black, red, yellow and white to correspond with my paint job

Most aftermarket lugs won't work with stock wheels.
Stock rays require a 12x1.25 MAG style nut.

Most lugs for aftermarket rims are a 60* conical (still 12x1.25 though).

Pretty rare to find aftermarket MAG lug nuts.

Congrats on your soloII running. I'm going to run solocross next year. It is a little hard for me as I work every other weekend. But I want to get back into it. I ran with my 280z and 1991 firebird a few years back.

Fire,

Sorry for the slow reply! The Abarth has a 1.4 liter turbo 4cyl. Dont laugh it gets the business done and weighs nothing. The US model will come standard with 170+hp from what Ive read.

I have 165+ps so almost 170 hp with a G-tech ecu. G-tech is one of the best after market tuners for Porsche, Lambo and they have a lot of lines for the Abarth.

The performance is quite good about the same as a Cooper-S or better. The combined fuel economy I have is 7.6liter/per 100km or 31mpg. On the Autobahn its even better. It has a nice cockpit and a fantastic growling exhaust note, very aggressive and strong for such a car. IT has real personality and I love the machine. Its a fun sporting drive with some economy to boot!

Great interior and racing wheel and aluminum pedals etc. Built for driving!

Fire · 09-25-2011, 04:00 PM

Sounds like good hp for it's size.

When I was in London over the summer, these things were zipping around everywhere. It took me a week to figure out what they were.
I totally wanted to stuff one into my suitcase and bring it home

Finally got this thing installed, it should make it easier for me when I need to swap my bumper for shows/meets.

It can also take a beating better than the plastic undertray for those of you who are lowered..

Fire · 09-25-2011, 05:37 PM

Sorry Red just read your post LOL. That sux I'd really like to find a set of black lugs.
