What should I add to my 328?

As my 1986 328GTS makes its way cross-country to me, it has occurred to me to consider what I might want to add to it. The following are all on my Civic Si, but are they appropriate on the Ferrari?

1. Lojack (the 328 already has a Clifford Viper alarm)
2. Wheel locks (the 328 has the original wheels)
3. Door edge guards (seem like a good idea if I can get them in red)
4. Cruise control (has anyone put it on a 328?)

Then there is something I've never had in any car I've owned:

1. Floor mats (anyone know of good mats at a good price?)

Now, do you think I should install all, some, or none of these items?

 

Tubis ?
Bigger brakes ?
Or just leave it like it is ?

Cruise control on a Ferrari doesnt make much sense to me..

 

That's the floor mat's function....

 

Too true! lol!

 

1. Lojack (the 328 already has a Clifford Viper alarm)- Take off the Clifford, no Lojack

2. Wheel locks (the 328 has the original wheels)- Maybe, but mine are stock bolts.

3. Door edge guards (seem like a good idea if I can get them in red)- NO WAY

4. Cruise control (has anyone put it on a 328?)- If you want Cruise control, get a Lexus.

Then there is something I've never had in any car I've owned:

1. Floor mats (anyone know of good mats at a good price?)- Check the archives

 

Definitely add metal pedal covers/pads. I prefer the Titanium Cavallino brand/material, but several Sponsors here and others offer Aluminum versions.

 

My suggestion would be to leave it alone and add miles to the odometer.
;-)

 

Italian cruise control= pedal to the metal.

 

ADD: Valentine 1

REMOVE: Rear view mirror because "What ever is behind you is of no concern"

Hi Jim, welcome to the 328 club. Awesome cars (when running )

Here is my suggestions, bear in mind they reflect my leanings...but here goes:

Your list of stuff: forget it....save the mats.

I have a 328 as well that I like to add things too. What I am currently working with people on getting done within the next month/have already on my car has a *.

What you should look at:

Interior:
1. Pedal set* (Hill engineering is our sponsor and as special ones for our cars)

2. CF Interior trim* (Valence, another sponsor, will be coming out with a line soon (few weeks))

3. Custom seats - can't help you there, but when I come up with something I will tell you.

Mechanical:
1. Tubi exhaust* - some type is a must, and ever since I bought mine, I would never think of anything else. I don't like it down low as much as 3k+ where it sings.

2. Testpipes* - if you in an emission free state, test pipes are a good idea
Exterior:

Exterior

1. Updated wheels* - this way your OEM will not get scuffed up and you can get bigger brakes I suggest 18, most like 17. OEM 360 is the way I like it.

2. Updated brakes - I am still working out which and how exactly with the help of others but I know when I am done it will be a 355mm front and rear setup

3. Skid plate of sorts - I am waiting for our sponsor Hill Engin to release on for 328s before I get the next one which is...

4. Springs/shocks - I havnt worked out which yet, as I am focusing on the above first, but plan to get them by next summer the latest.

 

How about a tall blonde with a lot of money?

 

+1

 

Gyeon Quartz coating?

 

A car cover would be nice.

 

More than 13 years since the last post...thanks

 

None

Just a tubi exhaust

 

You are right ! Don't notice that the first time

 

He took Peter's advice, got the tall blonde, and she does have a lot of money (now.) I think she's was on Fchat a few years ago, selling her 328.
