1993 Ferrari 348 TS Speciale

Looks to be in great shape! Good luck with the sale!

 

Very nice.

Did you remove the front splitter?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Do you know if it came with the SS seats and someone changed them out or if it came with the regular seats?

 

Interesting. Thanks. I know that some came with and some came without but I never understood why. It's good to note that this came with regular seats.

 

All of the Serie Speciale cars started as "regular" 348s, and were converted to SS spec by Ferrari of North America.

Some customers didn't like the CF seats, and requested regular seats.

I can understand why; the CF seats certainly look great, but they are not very comfortable.

 

I guess it depends on what you weigh. I have the medium F40 seats (same seats) and they're way more comfortable than the stock 348 seats. But I'm 5'10" and 155. I think if you're pushing 200 they wouldn't be fun.

 

I'm 5'9", 155 lbs.

I just find that my back hurts in the F40 seats. I know, I can put a lumbar support back there. There's just no padding.

But they sure look good!

 

Very interesting. My F40 came like that and when my upholsterer reupholstered it, he noted that all of the padding had broken down and I was sitting right on the carbon. He did new padding throughout and it made a huge difference. That original padding is pretty old now and if you get some SS seats that just don't work in the padding area, it would be worth checking that out. As you said, they do look super. It would be worth making them more comfy.

 

Armaflex..my answer to every piece of foam in a Ferrari!!

Is a whole lot better than what they use...

Great looking car, GLWS!!

 

Yes, very interesting. There doesn't seem to be any padding in the seats anymore, so it's probably broken down.

Sorry to the OP for derailing their ad... GLWS!
