Got bored today, added some mods

I got bored today, so I installed my BMC air intake and painted the calipers red on my 91 TS. The air intake sounds good especially at wide open trottle, great growling sound, custom fitted it to use the stock air hoses instead of the cheesy black aluminum ones it came with.

Looks nice---Now you need to paint the Ferrari word black or silver on the caliper..

 

Looks nice! Would like to see pix of the whole car with the polished HREs on it.

 

Your wish has been granted!

I do like the wheels alot, but I want a chrome finish not the high polish. Once I find another set of wheels, I will be selling these 18" wheels.

 

Very sharp, but 285 is right you should paint the Ferrari letters on the Calipers Black... Very sharp car!

 

any link to the bmc filters?

 

No way, keep the polished wheels! Much classier.

 

TAKE THE DAMN RED PAINT OFF OF THE FERRARI SCRIPT ON THE CALIPERS!!!

I HAVE SPOKEN!!!!

Yeah, I like them that way too. Racier.

 

Lemme guess, taken at Blue Marsh?

 

You got it! I love it out there and it is awsome for pics. That is my racetrack out there, nice roads.

 

Oh and by the way I saw your 355 at Algars, looks great, just got mine back from there.

 

I got the rear brakes painted red too, I got a block of sand paper and lightly sanded over the top of the ferrari logo and it came back sliver. Looks much nicer then painting it white as sanding it made it look perfect and painting it white might look a bit.....cheap.

 

Thanks, I think I saw yours on a lift when I was walking through the shop.

 

Have you noticed any performance benefit?

Does it make the car louder?

 

SY
If you want it to go faster and make it louder,push your foot right down.

 

Was looking at the same setup, where did you get it, and notice anything other than added sound?

 

Thanks for the sandpaper tip, that worked great and looks good. I have noticed a crisper throttle response with the BMC filters, especially in higher gears. I did a standing to 110 MPH on a stretch of road and noticed a smoother acceleration and nice engine sound in high gears. Its a good mod for $700 In my opinion.

Sounds like a good upgrade!! What kind of brake rotors are those?

 

Glad you like it!

 

any trick to how you painted them? paint or products?

looks great

 

Well I was too lazy to take the wheels off , so I did it with them on the car. I used Foliatec caliper paint, the best in my opinion. I used a hobbie brush and painted the stock calipers, then took some course sand paper and sanded the FERRARI lettering back to silver and finished it off with some very fine sandpaper to smooth it out. I am happy with it.
