    Hi all. I just dropped off my 95 355 B I bought in August for a major service since it’s been since June of 2012 since it was last done. I live in metro Atlanta and am using Ron Reineke for all the work.

    I’m having him replace the exhaust with Tubi headers and cat delete pipes, a fabspeed Y pipe and fabspeed muffler.

    Also going to upgrade the power steering reservoir since its original. I’m sure there will be a few other while we’re in there things as well.

    I’ll post pics as I get them.

    Just had my ‘96 done along with replacing the valve guides. Also installed the Tubi headers. Already had the Tubi exhaust. Wade Williams did mine. He’s with the ***************** in Atlanta. Very pleased with his work.

    Where are you guys getting the tubi headers from? They are outrageously expensive, even if you get them imported from that Australian guy on eBay.

    Also got my Tubi headers from Eurospares. By far best price and yes, fast shipping. Mine will be on within the month, along with high-flow cats - Capristo Sound 3 is already on there :) Looking forward to spring!

    Not sure the mileage, but the last engine out service was done in June 2012.

    Yes 9 years ago I think.
    I am a big believer but many people are not.
    Either way we all agree that in many cases fix plugs that look bad or fix many of the ones which take a beating with new regular plugs.

    Last major was done June of 2012 with 11,900 miles on it. So 3000 miles on the plugs.

    I actually have a gold kit for a 95 if you're interested in it.
    Not sure what he's charging at the moment but I'll be lower.

    Let me know

    Just visited my car. It's coming together. Waiting on cam covers to come back from the powder coaters and a few exhaust clamps that I ordered from Ricambi today. Only thing I'm debating is replacing the original radiators with upgraded aluminum ones. They aren't leaking, but are 25 years old and they will fail eventually. Also found out the Tubi test pipe for the left side of the car has fitment issues.

    Aren't you supposed to have a donut in between the header and the bypass pipe? That will solve the fitment issue.

    Yes, it will, but it’s still too far apart compared to the right side fitment.

    Pulled the trigger on the Saldana radiators from Ricambi. 25 year old radiators was just too risky to not address during the major.

    Do you have a link and/or cost for these? A search of the Ricambi site didn't turn anything up, but maybe I missed them.
