Strange looking thing & they even used red tape to cover a blue body. Could be a client's customised vehicle? Anyway, 612 is probably due for replacement or facelift.
Hahaha... I only know you are Alex till now! Ya lots of nice stuffs! Go there early. I bought some items on Sunday AGM for 30% I saw the same item today for 60% (-.-!!) Remember Jas ask you to buy the horse towel on Sunday to clean yr bull? The Towel is there! Hahaha...
I'm pretty sure it is the disguised 612 replacement. There was a factory viewing for agents & some clients in early December, including a number of Fchatters who have confirmed the shooting brake design and an all new all wheel drive system (rumoured to operate only up to a certain speed .. 120km/h??)
355 owners, check this out but guess it applies to most of us here as well. The engine department is always very hot for nearly all mid-engine Ferraris & Lambos. Heat wrap is not recommended for us as we get a lot of rain & water due to washing, moisture gets trapped in in heat wrap & causes the pipes to crack prematurely. I had mine wrapped for the Murcie as the pipes are hidden under the rear engine cover & never gets wet. I even went as far as getting thermometer stickers from GarageR to put into the engine bay to read the heat in there! Now where are those things http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=244113
Thanks Jon. I'm still with the stock headers but toying with either a rebuild by QV's London agent or getting another after market header. Thing is that once cats are removed, headers run much cooler and mine are confirmed to be in good shape.
I'd be willing to try white ceramic coating which keeps cool & hot gas out but I only know of a Malaysia factory that does it for now. I had a pair of Larini Cats in white ceramic coating. I always get paranoid with all the heat being soaked up by the electronics & wirings in there.

In a move that has shocked the motorsports industry in Singapore, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) has launched a probe into the tender for the S$380 million Changi Motorsports Hub. According to The Straits Times, a senior official at the motorsports development arm of the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) and a few others have been summoned for interviews and lie detector tests. The CPIB launched investigations last year, after it was tipped off about possible irregularities in the tender won by the SG Changi consortium in March last year for the upcoming motorsports hub. SG Changi, led by home-grown Jurong Kart World along with its Japanese partners, edged out two other bidders for the right to build the 40,000 square metre-large facility off Changi Coast Road. The two other consortia who submitted bids were Singapore Agro Agriculture and Sports Services, which was backed by Haw Par Corporation, a public-listed leisure and health-care products firm. Last March, government officials were impressed by the winning bids innovative 3.7km track design that allows two races to be staged simultaneously, the quality of the international and local events to be brought in and the groups financial strength. The tendering process for the mega-project was handled by the sports councils motorsports department, which was set up in recent years to promote the sport here. It is staffed by a small group of officials, including those seconded from other government departments. According to reports, the senior official at the heart of the probe is known as a passionate champion of motorsports and his involvement in the investigations has come as a shock. After months of investigation, the CPIB case is believed to have been extended to include the consortium, which received its permit to start work from the authorities last month. Last month, SG Changis director Genji Hashimoto, a former race driver, was reported to have suddenly resigned. Businessman Moto Sakuma has since taken over. When contacted on Wednesday by the same paper, both the CPIB and Mr Sakuma declined comment. Mr Alvin Hang, SSCs director of corporate communications and relations, said, We are unable to comment on this matter at this point in time. The motorsports hub - aimed at cementing Singapores reputation as a regional motorsports hub following the Formula One (F1) night race here in 2008 is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The Changi track is set to host its first race early next year, and there has been talk of it staging a MotoGP leg, motorcycles equivalent of F1
Damn sad huh. At least someone we know was interviewed It remains unknown if the investigations have been conclusive thus far, but according to Mr Chia Boon Teck, a partner at Chia Wong law firm, lie detector tests are standard procedure in graft cases where the evidence is not clear-cut. These tests are not compulsory, and it is up to the suspect whether or not to undergo it, he added.
just back from the bazaar sale, good stuff very good price, but sizes ltd so go early! king ,thanks for your help at the store! tuck it was good meeting you!
my cs agency power headers are ceramic coated, tho its still early days, i notice the oil temp gauge is significantly lower than before. is this due to the ceramic coating keeping engine bay cooler or the fact that the whole system breathes better n expels the hot gases more freely- or do i have a busted oil temp gauge?
