Congrats Davey-I'm looking foreward to seeing it in person. It's wonderful having another Ferrari within 5 miles of my house. In Indy, F-cars are to few. |

Good decision on the test pipes but leave the heat shields on as the heat might damage the tail lights housing.

Thanks guys! I'm already pulling parts off the car! (cats). Anyone have thoughts on keeping heat shield on? whart - rear tyres do need replaced, maybe next week (hopefully) I'm sure you are right about performance too! gage - nope - speciale series does not have the rear grill (really don't like the grill anyway) |

Congrat! You will enjoy driving immensely. Your 348 looks quite different, and that's why it is speciale, right? Interior looks so cool. I wish I could mod my car like that, only it's too hot here in TX.

A 348 spider was my first ferrari. Great way to start! Its an interesting combo of old and new; i love the unassisted steering and the smallness of the car, combined with the muscularity of the engine and the torque, at least compared to the 328. The car also looks sexy. Best investment: a fresh set of P Zero's. Dunno the condition of the tires you're running, but if they are not close to brand new, you will be blown away by the difference in grip with a fresh batch o' rubber. Enjoy. |

Thanks for all the replies!! This board is great! Still working on the pic thing. I put about 200 miles on it today and man I'm sunburned!!! That Tubi is soooo NICE! Didn't turn the radio on but once....liked the engine better so I turned it off! Who's coming to Indy for F1 anyway? I'd love to hook up with a group or something....? dave

Good on ya. The best advice I've heard so far is: Drive it like you stole it, get it sideways, fix it when it breaks, repeat. |
