I posted about what to bring on my 1700km drive. Now here is the story and the pics. I still can't beilve i have my own Ferrari Ferrari 348TB Road Trip Thanks for all the tips, luckily the drive was %100 fun, and zero issues.
Great story! That drive home you will never forget, I remember mine a long time ago, loved every minute of it. Congrats!
Great story! I've done that drive multiple times (Moncton -> MTL at least) and I can only imagine how much fun it must have been. Super jealous!
The wheels seem to be mounted backwards --- but that's pretty minor in the scheme of things. Congratulations on the new ride! Enjoy!
Thanks! I really did, it was a blast! We are ! I'll post pics along the way. The car is sometimes hard to start when cold. I am going to start with the MAFs but I found another post about the flywheel. So I might dig I. Sooner It wAs a blast! Really??? Dang lol. And thanks!
That's seems pretty accurate. It seemed to run much smoother by the time i got home! Guess I need to keep adding miles
Nice story and great road trip and pix. A/C, well common issue. If you saw the E1 on the AC panel, its the passenger sensor behind the holes to the left of the steering wheel. Something with the electrical connection. Funny about the floor mats. The easy fix - use plastic wire ties through the back end of the carpet fixed to the lower seat rails. The classic fix - convert your floor mats to the 355 tie down system (get the grommets and pins from Ricambi). Great gas mileage. Of course at that speed you should have done over 25 mpg. Once you enter the higher speed arena, fuel tends to be slurped rather than sipped.
Before you jump in to your major service, you and Scott can go through this thread. Ernie does a terrific play-by-play tutorial for all of his DIY threads. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/technical-q-sponsored-algar-ferrari/438576-348-engine-out-major.html
Congrats Rob and great write up. I have a '92 TB as well. I can't drive it enough. It really is like a go cart for the streets.
Thanks! Thats why i did it, i probably wont get another opertunity like that Thank you The panel was flashing all sorts of things at different times. Sometimes all the lights would blink, some times nothing, then a giggle of the panel would get it going. At least the fan worked the whole trip. We did a whole lotta floggin lol So i was shocked we even saw around 25mpg. I didnt keep spot on records, so i am not %100 sure on the mileage. That is an awesome post, thanks very much!!! DOe snot look that bad at all! Similar to dropping a Subaru motor out, subframe an all. Even a similar giant timming belt. It also came in a big TFX blue box haha Thanks! What is construction holidays? AS in all construction goes on a break? Thanks very much. It really is like a go cart. Hopefully we can meet up at one of the ferrari gatherings one day. I have never seen a 348 on the street, lots of 355s.
my pleasure! Thanks guys! Does anyone have pics of factory 348 wheels on the right way so i can get the tires remounted?
Trying this from my phone. I gave her a bath. Super stressful work day today and everything melted away on my drive. I love this car! I have had like 50 cars, I should have bought one sooner! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I also feel stupid about asking for pics of rims on the right way lol. The tires are non directional so this weekend I will swap sides lol
If tires are not directional, then you're in luck. Swap them and you are done. Torque the lugs at 72ft/lbs
