Very nice pair Rick! I love how the Jalpa looks with those wheels. I know you have 285's in the back and that gives it a nice meaty look. And the spider of course is a beautiful car. Regards, Steve | ||

Matt, You're gonna love the Jalpa. I've had a 1988 for 4 years now with no problems except a leaky clutch slave cylinder (replaced for $200). I just added a '94 348 Spider to the garage and just love to open the door and look in! Rick | ||

Does the Jalpa have a flat crankshaft like the 308? | ||

Matt, Good Job!! I also have a white Jalpa as well as a 308. The Jalpa has an awesome engine sound. You will also notice it is a much bigger car. You have to see them in person. Pictures don't do them justice. I have had mine for about 10 years with no problems and love it. Hope the PPI goes well. If you have any questions let me know. Regards, steve | ||

Matt When it arrives throw on your Armani jacket, give your wife a dozen roses, tell her to put on her little black dress and take her out to one of her favorite restaurants in the Jalpa. Trust me it'll help. Best Jim | ||
