    Thanks for the quick info! :)

    Just pick up the car (will start a thread) and wonder after stopping the engine and sitting in the car what loud sound the car make!

    It was the clock! :D

    Just ordered a new one on eurospares.

    :D

    First thought, after my F430 and 430 Scud had Capristo systems,
    was that the 512 TR get a Capristo too.

    But the car is so original and really in very good condition that i choose to
    keep it all original. :)

    So clock is louder than the exhaust, but a loud exhaust isn´t good because i would always put the pedal on the floor and would kill my Diff asap… :D

    Mine can only be heard when the car is off and yes it is loud then. But I find it charming as well and it is not annoying since I am not sleeping in my car much....

    Sometimes I don`t know if the electrical power is on or off, but then I sit still and listen for a bit to hear if the clock is "grinding" it`s cogwheels! I think it`s totally fine with the noise :)

    Mine is very loud - I think it's quaint - yet I can't hear it when the engine is running (stock muffler + cats).
