    Those small mods really transforms the car's highspeed stability.

    Nice car btw!

    Big congrats on the purchase of a beautiful car. I know exactly how you feel about the first purchase and I hope the warm feeling of pride lasts a very long time. I spent about a year in amazement that I could own anything so beautiful. My 348 has evolved into a full blown track car and I can tell you that it is deadly fast and stable. You can easily chip away at the quirks with the good advice of your 348 bros. I have 355 Challenge wheels and that alone makes a huge difference.

    i hate my 348 because...
    well ,every time i want to take a spin , i have to put on clean clothes , look respectable , and take a bath. because surely, everyone will be looking ..

    if i drive by a home depot, i cant buy a 2x4 and bring it home.

    i dred to see any dark clouds, because it means i have to get back to the garage.

    i cant park it in the city without spending $$$ for a secure location.

    i can only fit one hot chick in the car at a time.

    ive learn to deal with these problems , with great pains. but it all seems to go away when i turn that key :)

    I bought them at Paul Hill in the UK.
    He is a Ferrarichat.com sponsor.
    The fit and finish is of a very high level.
    Shipment in a day and a half is unbelievable also.
    Perhaps not the cheapest though, but who cares, it's for a FERRARI

    Great story, this is my 3rd ferrari in the last 20 years, all have been great a 246 dino & 308 gt4, but this one is even better than the last 2, when your single it seems money no option , then you get married & life takes a different turn. Lucky my wife loves all things Italian including me LOL, so last week I picked up my 348 ts 1993 model & yes the attention u get is better than sex. We are in a small bracket of people that have the luxury to own & drive these beautiful hand built works of art so enjoy, let the clutch out & burn rubber as life's too short not to

    Henkie,
    Congratulations, great looking car ! I just noticed you have # 96005, my 348 ts is #96010, should be produced at the same week, maybe the same day. I have 25 mm spacers each side at the rear and no spacers at the front, car runs without problems.

    Regards, Georg
