That interior is gorgeous! That good amount of alcantara also cuts down the leather surface that needs to be taken care of. You are definitely really good at detailing, Christian. Just look at the shine on the inner wheel barrel...Wow! It's interesting to see the 2-pieces wheel bolts. Is the needed torque for those Ti 2-pieces wheels bolts still the same? I thought the torque depends on both the friction on the threads and also the collar. With the collar spinning around, that means the torque relies solely on the thread. I was told at one time to apply anti-seize on only the threads but not the collar. Then I was told something else and I wiped all the anti-seize off to avoid over-torque. Obviously with the spinning collar, no anti-seize should be applied to the threads. If the recommended torque is the same with the spinning collar on, that means it's safe to apply the anti-seize on the collar region of regular bolt. I'm confused now and will need to look into this subject.
I went with aftermarket polished titanium 2 piece bolts. The bolt head seems a bit bigger than Ferrari OEM. These bolts make the wheels, imo. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Old titan stud version (458 Speciale/F12 tdf) works perfect! Looks much more better than the two piece version: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Do you have the factory part number? I'd like to order a set for my GTC4L as they would go nicely with the diamond cut wheels Thank you in advance
Amazing, thanks, very much appreciated. I presume they fit GTC4L...???? And Out of curiosity, why would you have spares? Sent from my BBB100-2 using Tapatalk
Spares? You mean the second set? No not a spare part, a friend who works at Ferrari and brought me today a filter for the climate, told me that they should have a nos set which lays in their showcase and if i need again a set i should send him a message. And if they fit on the Lusso i will check tomorrow! I would say, yes! Seems to be enough space around the hole! On my Ex-FF they fit perfect, too.

If torque is specified with dry threads then would advise against adding lubrication. I'm assuming you are applying anti-seize to avoid dis-similar metal corrosion risk induced by changing the base metal to Ti. The stock steel OEM bolts have a surface treatment (black finish) to avoid long term corrosion and are much stronger. Weight is irrelevant with this vehicle but to each their own. Would definitely not apply lubricant to the collar/wheel contact area for any reason. Best.
Also Race didn't save brake pads very well... But you're right Wet is not the mode to go! First trip, first track drive, i felt good with Wet...
I was a little bit nervous but yes, it was big fun on the track! And the Oldtimer Grand Prix is always great!
Congratulations Christian! WOW!! That is a real beauty! I love your upgrades and attention to detail! I also love how your username is -CD- and in one of the pictures you are standing under a sign that reads "CD" I also love that you brought your wife and dog for the experience. You are a handsome family!
