    Switched Exhaust Manifolds from my Spider as it is a Euro with no pre-cats and Stock CS Exhaust.

    After 1500 miles of driving since the conversion, there has been only one issues with the conversion :

    1) Stradale Exhaust Valves .- A constant rattle from the butterflies and very likely worn shaft. I've adapted a couple of springs creating tension on the shaft while allowing the valve to rotate freely. Rattle seems to be louder when cold, but somewhat acceptable upon warm up. I will be replacing the shafts and and installing sintered bronze bushings.

    When asked what I enjoy most of the conversion " SUSPENSION & BRAKES ". The comfort level gained from precise steering inputs and the stopping power of the CCM transformed a good handling car to a fantastic handling car.

    The addition of the Stage 2 / Kevlar clutch package is a great upgrade for any manual 360. After properly breaking in the Kevlar Disk for 400 miles the clutch is extremely smooth with no apparent change in clutch pedal pressure. I have gotten the car to break loose without a single hint of burning clutch disk smell. I am sold on Kevlar.

    Stay tuned for video / sound clips of the dramatic " deep " engine induction growl from the Stradale Spider. It is quite unique due to the Helmholtz resonance effect.

    Are you guys meeting at the Irvine C&C or the Carlsbad one? I have an early appointment in Orange this Saturday morning at 8:30am, but may drop by Irvine C&C before that.

    Loved seeing this car "live" after reading about the conversion here on F-chat.

    It was great to see Enrique, Sandee and Greg again and to have the opportunity to meet Carbon!

    Enrique;
    It was a pleasure meeting you and M5guy today. I appreciate you bringing the spider stradale up to C&C Irvine. It was great to speak with both of you as well as see the car in person.

    As I promised. MY hydrocladding contact is George at www.gemico.net. He is a fellow fcar enthusiast (308) in FLA.
