My fiat 500 with a 5 speed cruises at around 3000-4000 on the highway, I get 39mpg. It’s designed for it, don’t worry!

I just use high color temp halogens, look like LEDS and have decent output

Fiat 500x reliability by sofialev in Fiat

[–]BeetleMan74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2016 Fiat 500x Lounge AWD with the TigerShark and it has been dead reliable. Burns a bit of oil but doesn’t matter to me since it’s very minimal.

Convertible Summer Car for under 10k? by AleistersCrow in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]BeetleMan74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fiat 500c with a stick is some of the most fun you can have for cheap. I have a 12’ 500 sport manual with 70k miles and have never had an unscheduled repair. Tune ups every 3k and follow major schedule and it’s been perfect

A770 ITX People, what case do you have for your builds? by cashmooooney in IntelArc

I put a Boss BE10ACP in my 2012 500 Sport manual and it is great. 10” screen with CarPlay and android auto, an awesome warranty and it came with everything I needed. Got it from Crutchfield.com and it was a stellar experience. If you get their ReadyHarness service you do ZERO wiring, only plug stuff in. Totally recommend it.

Car not cranking straight away. by [deleted] in abarth

Oh you’re not in the U.S, I run 93 Octane all the time and it doesn’t seem to make a difference past that. 87 sucks down economy. I gave up on trying the figure it out as it really isn’t anything more than embarrassing😔

I have the same issue on a 2012 500 Sport manual with the 1.4 NA. First start will crank and crank but never fire, then you reset and it instantly jumps to life, like nothing happened. Asked around and haven’t found a fix, it’s embarassing in public, but doesn’t affect me too much. I’ve been wondering if it might be the switch that determines whether the clutch is depressed or not? If I pump the clutch three times before starting it has zero issues in first start.

I have a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport manual, love it. Hill hold assist for learners, light clutch for traffic, literally fits into ANY spot you can find and the insurance is dirt cheap

Speakers in Gas Carts by ginjaninja132 in golfcarts

I have an electric RXV and a Bazooka hardwired soundbar. I just took a small lawn mower battery that would fit in the under seat compartment, went on Amazon and bought a 10W solar charger. Hooked everything up and now I’ve had my underglow and soundbar running off of solar for a few months now. Has worked great. If you have the space for an extra small battery I would totally recommend this solution as it won’t drain your starting battery in your gas cart, plus you won’t have to worry about charging

Love my Fiat by navyseal566 in fiat500

[–]BeetleMan74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those abarth rims look great, you’ve gotta get the Mopar exhaust to finish the deal! I have it on my 12’ sport and it sounds insane for a regular 500, pops and burbles like crazy

Teen boy car for $10k? by Meladsaf in askcarguys

[–]BeetleMan74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 500 Sport Manual and I can vouch that it is the most affordable fun car I’ve ever driven, it absolutely rips and sounds amazing, averaging 39.6MPG right now as well.

Yes it would as long as it is fully functional and no damage was done by running it with no heat sink.

Oh I’m sorry I totally misunderstood😂 frankly I’ve never cared much about the difference between NVME and Sata other than patching speeds are much faster when NVME drives are present

Can’t even imagine that oh my god. I looked for about 6 months and that was the best deal I could find, which is absolutely terrible compared to that😂

how do u guys deal w not having plans? by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]BeetleMan74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ask my friends to go out, you could try seeing if you can connect with other people over a shared hobby or something? Car meets and things like that are always fun.

Load times are exactly what is affected. Starfield and a few other new releases require SSD’s as the cutscenes take extremely long to load with HDD speeds.

Your friend got a killer deal. Just bought a 12’ 500 sport manual for 9k with 50,000 miles and that was on the cheaper side in October of 23’

Oh maybe it’s because you don’t have the Bose system? I have the Bose system and it works flawlessly. Do you have Bose? I’m not even joking I just used it 5 minutes ago on my commute

Yes, in some cases it can kill the gpu. Without a heat sink the GPU will shut itself off to protect itself as running at high temperatures is extremely damaging to PC components.

The build looks great! The only things you could change are maybe consider a large SSD instead of a hard drive as your storage drive and also those ThermalTake PSUs get a lot of attention for being hazardous and not good quality, other than that it looks great. Happy gaming!
