Sometimes a car comes into our yard that makes everyone stop what they’re doing. It’s not just a car. It has a presence. A character. And in this case… a noise.
You can hear it before you see it. A low, angry, gurgling thrum that sounds like it belongs to a car three times its size. It makes a noise that is full of personality, and it comes with a series of pops and crackles that make you smile.
This isn’t your typical city car. This is the “Scorpion.”
The WA Auto Parts team is very happy to announce that a very special car has arrived for them to take apart: a 2014 Fiat 500 ABARTH in Nero Scorpione (Scorpion Black).
This isn’t a normal Fiat 500. Karl Abarth would have been proud of this one. It’s the factory-made “pocket rocket,” the little car with a big heart, and the one with a “Sport” button that really works.
We see hundreds of cars every day as Perth’s top wrecker, but an Abarth is a rare find. This is a great resource for repairs and upgrades for people who own an Abarth. For the average Fiat 500 owner, this is the best chance ever: a full, real conversion is about to happen.
The “Brag Sheet”: This is what makes this Abarth unique.
Before we get into the parts, let’s talk about what makes this car so great. This is how to make one of the most fun cars ever.
Abarth (a brand that came from Fiat but has a different soul)
- Type: 500 (Usually called 595, depending on the spec)
- The year is 2014.
- Color: Nero Scorpione, or Scorpion Black
- Engine: 4-cylinder T-Jet Turbocharged 1.4L
- 5-speed manual transmission (the choice of enthusiasts!)
- Exhaust: Real Abarth Dual-Mode Sport Exhaust (Yes, the one that makes a lot of noise!)
This car was unfortunately totaled in an accident, but it did protect its most valuable parts. We tested its heart, soul, and attitude, and now it’s ready for a new life.
The Goldmine: PERFORMANCE Parts in High Demand
Let’s get to the good part. This is why you’re here. We’ve made a list of the “money” parts that will be flying out the door.
1. The Scorpion’s Heart: The 1.4L T-Jet Turbo Conversion
This is it. The most wanted part.
The 1.4L T-Jet Turbo Engine: This engine is a strong, tunable, and powerful little giant. It’s what makes the Abarth what it is. We have checked and tested our engine, and it comes with a warranty. It’s the best way to replace a worn-out Abarth engine or give a standard 500 a new heart.
The IHI RHF3 Turbocharger is a real turbo that has been checked for shaft play and is in great shape, ready to give you that boost you can’t get enough of.
Full 5-speed manual gearbox: Get rid of the “DuaLogic” semi-auto that jerks around. This is the gearbox for real drivers. It is strong, dependable, and lets you have full control. We have everything you need to make the switch: the gearbox, shifter linkage, clutch assembly, and pedal box.
We have everything you need, including the ECU, harness, and intercoolers. The factory ECU (set up for boost), the whole engine wiring harness, and the two front-mount intercoolers with all their piping. This is a real “conversion in a box.”
Think about your calm 1.2L Fiat Pop. Now picture this whole 1.4L Turbo system in the engine bay. You’d be making the best “sleeper” car ever: a small car with a huge, poisonous bite.
2. The Abarth Exhaust System: The Sound of Emotion
The engine is the Abarth’s heart, and the exhaust is its voice. The real Abarth sport exhaust on this car has a dual-mode system. At low revs, it’s pretty quiet, but when you hit the “Sport” button or open the throttle, a valve opens and the car barks.
On a cold start, it’s that “braaap” that makes you look like a jerk. When you let off the gas, it makes a fun, contagious “pop, pop, crackle.” This isn’t just an exhaust; it’s also a sound maker. A new exhaust system for a factory costs a lot of money. This is your chance to get the sound you want for a lot less money.
3. The Cockpit: Where You Tame the Beast
The inside of an Abarth is just as cool as the outside.
Abarth Sport Seats: The beautiful Abarth sport seats in this car are made of black leather and alcantara. These seats are not the flat “sit-on-top” seats that come with a regular 500. These seats have a lot of support and a high back that keeps you in place. They are the best mix of comfort and support for spirited driving.
Flat-Bottom Abarth Steering Wheel: This is how you connect to the road. A flat-bottomed wheel with a thick leather wrap and thumb grips, with the “Scorpion” badge in the middle.
The Abarth Instrument Cluster and Boost Gauge has the Abarth-specific cluster and, most importantly, the TTC/Boost Gauge that is separate from the rest of the dash. One of the best things about the car is watching the needle swing into the red as the turbo spools up.
Alloy pedal covers and shift knobs are the little things that shout “performance.”
4. The “Angry” Look: Real Abarth Body Panels
The Fiat 500 is “cute.” An Abarth is mean. This is your chance to get the look.
The most important part is the Abarth front bumper. This isn’t just for show; it works, with big intakes that bring air to the two intercoolers.
- The deep rear bumper with the lower diffuser perfectly frames the dual exhaust tips on the Abarth.
- Abarth Side Skirts: These skirts make the car look lower and give it a more planted, muscular stance.
- Abarth Roof Spoiler: This is the bigger, more aggressive spoiler on the roof that gives the “pocket rocket” shape its final touch.
- We have all the Abarth badges. The “Scorpion” on the front, the “Abarth” scripts on the side, and the shield on the back.
This is the real body kit you’ve been looking for if you have a base model 500. And since it’s already in Nero Black, it could be the perfect color for your car.
5. The “Go-Kart” Stance: Wheels, Brakes, and Handling
It’s not just about going fast in a straight line; it’s also about going fast around corners.
Abarth Suspension (Koni Shocks): The factory-installed Koni FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) shocks and stiffer Abarth springs are on this car. This is what makes the car handle like a legendary “go-kart.”
Abarth brakes: The front and rear brake calipers are bigger and better (in Abarth Red), and the rotors are bigger too. If you want more horsepower, you need more stopping power.
These 17-inch lightweight alloy wheels are from Abarth and have a “Claw” or “Petal” design. They are a huge improvement over the 15- or 16-inch wheels that come with a standard 500.
Why Should You Buy Real Abarth Parts from a Pro Wrecker?
When it comes to performance cars, “genuine” is the only way to go.
These aren’t cheap, fiberglass copies; they’re exclusive and high-performance. Abarth made these performance parts in a factory so that they would work perfectly together. The fit, finish, and durability are all top-notch.
The Ultimate Conversion: We have the whole car because we are professional wreckers. We can give you the whole conversion kit, which includes all the nuts, bolts, sensors, and brackets you need. You can’t buy parts online in small amounts.
Keep the value of your Abarth: If you’re fixing your own Abarth, the best thing to do is use real used parts. It keeps the car’s value and integrity intact, and it saves you thousands of dollars compared to buying a new car from a dealer.
Trust and Knowledge: You’re not buying from a stranger. You are buying from WA Auto Parts. You can call us and talk to a parts expert who knows what a “T-Jet” engine is. You can also be sure that the part you get is tested and comes with a warranty.

The Sabelt seats, Record Monza exhaust, full 1.4L turbo engine, and 5-speed manual conversion are all very popular and will sell out quickly. People who love Abarths and want to convert their cars are already on the phone.
