    Not exactly buddy, there are 2 F348 in Brunei Darussalam. One had a bad accident and mine is the living legend. The actual problem here in Brunei is, there is NO actual Ferrari auto workshop (for maintenance) or spare parts dealer. I have to use those mechanic guys that are familiar with either Japanese cars or those BMW/Mercedes.

    I bet you if there is a guy out there somewhere who have the contacts, the know how, the equipments and he or she setup a Ferrari (inclusive of Porsche/Lamborghini/Maserati) auto workshop with spare parts, he or she will end up being a millionaire less then 6 months. I think i also miss out, there is NO income tax in Brunei.

    I'm a pilot and fly cargo 747's. I used to fly to Brunei with my former airline. No mechanics there either. So we'd fly a 747 full of exotic cars to Taipei just for maintainence. I believe they were the Sultan's cars, but not sure. I wish I had pictures!

    Mohd,

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

    You're wheels are on the wrong sides.

    The flat part of the spoke should move forward, not the sloped part.

    Very nice - congratulations and welcome.

    You mention a major service 500 miles ago - what about the approximate date that it was done?

    I am already getting the stock Ferrari OEM 17" wheels back on the car immediately. I have them outfitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sports & will be on my car next week! I agree that the stock look is best!

    The over $12k service was way more than the standard service for engine out by the previous owner (1 owner car previous to me). It was done by Ferrari of Scottsdale. it included a bunch of transmission stuff (new clutch & repack/replace rear gear housing & inspection) a new water pump, and a bunch more added stuff. I think that $6k - $8k is a closer number to expect approximately every 3-5 years for the engine out service. This service is critical due to the DOHC design of the engine & that it uses timing belts instead of chains. If you choose to delay this service & hope for the best, it can become outrageously expensive due to the engine damage that can occur when the top end goes
    "Kablammo" (Thanks to F1 for the descriptive terminology!)

    Tack för uppskattningen! Heja Norge! BTW, finns det inget bra forum för Ferrari i Skandinavien?
    Sorry, folks, that was some words in Swedish. A nice neighbor from Norway send me some greetings.

    Another pic of my pride and joy. Spacers - 8 mm in the front and 18 mm in the back - KN-filter, stainless exhaust (noisy) drives beautiful! On the wishing list, 360 wheels.
