Night Life is ALIVE Muhuhahahahaha WATCH OUT BABY.

Wow I can not believe it has been over 8 months since I have driven her Sept 29th to be exact . Story goes I was meeting up with the Calgary crew early in the morning for our 1st Flatlands Exotic car show, we were all to drive in together. On the way there we hit some pretty good speeds for an extended period of time, long story short my Hyperflow cat was clogged and disintegrating causing huge back pressure eventually heating up the #1 piston so much I had pre ignition and thus burning a hole in my piston . Talk about devastation, but I remained very optimistic through out my ordeal.

For those of you who do not know the story here it is, it's full of heartache and betrayal with twists and turns as the plot thickens to the climax of devastation ha ha ha.

Well I am very very glad to say it is over with, I feel I made out pretty good considering the alternative of a full rebuild. The car has more HP now as I am running CAT less and the sound is frightening but devilishly satisfying . We took our time to make sure all was done correctly and better than Ferrari specs, we found other faults along the way and corrected them and even ended up with a Uber cool coffee table lol.

Shout out again to my Mechanic Cal for taking on this project, I had full confidence in their abilities, he and his boys were awesome, great job guys. Also Heeeeey to Daniel and the boys at Ricambi for fast services and great advise, also GT auto parts for my engine thanks boys.

She is PURRRRRRRRING like a bad Kitty that has swallowed shards of glass , It feels different to me now, more solid more reliable hard to explain really. Of course this is only the second day and we need to keep an eye on it but so far she is a rocket and I am Captain Kirk baby (earlier Kirk when he was cool and slept with green women ) lol

Here are some pics of my new engine, as you can see I tried a color combo that no one has tried yet, I love it, pictures do not do justice, looks 10X better in person. Now when I open up the bonnet people gasp at how good it looks, it is a piece of art .

Tomorrow God willing I will install the LeMans grill with a totally different set up for the lights that make sense lol I will explain.

I noticed that the way the 355 lights are set up do not take full advantage of all the lights why?????

Example, the way 355 360 lights operate is like this
-inner tail lights are stop light & middle reverse light.
-outer tail lights are parking light and turn signal light with middle reverse light non operational.

To me this makes little sense, why not use everything the more the better especially at night time. So I did a little rewiring soldering cutting etc and now I have

All 4 are parking lights with brake lights with inner lights still middle reverse and outer lights middle turn signal.

This looks so much better and now if I brake I will blind anyone behind me they wont be able not to see me lol. Middle turn signal involved 1 wire only and some soldering and an amber bulb, it is incredibly bright more so than the other set up for turn signal. All in all 1 hour time $20 a little cutting with a dremell some soldering of 2 extra wire and you are done.

If any of you want more info on how to do it PM me, it will look way better.

Here are some pics before I do my install, you will see the cuts and soldering I made plus the wire I installed and how she looks when lit.

Sorry for late replies, my gf played with my computer now my screen is 1/4 the size and f#ck if I can put it back to normal lol

All 4 lights look great makes the back end look uber wide and man are they bright.

Thank you I will replace asap

I will get to it soon just keep bugging me, I have a car show this week lol

Yes I will as soon as I can figure out this computer glitch, damn GF

Sorry sorry I will soon I promise

 

Mine was not so bad, instead of doing a double cut like Husker recommended I did all in one shot each side which in turn made it easier to cut plus if you ever want to put it back to normal it will be way faster.

 

OK boys as promised lots of pics here she is with the new Le Mans grill and WOW what a difference, it makes her look wider than she already is, plus check out my new polish job it is like a mirror .

I also ended up finding a way how to reinstall the back tail light covers properly with little effort, this protects and keeps the inside of the engine bay looking sweet for show

Next project I can get back to work on the rear spoiler finally

Might have to wait a while though because of my knee. As many of you asked (and thank you) my knee not good, just received my MRI report and I am F#cked up bad.

Complete ACL tear and lateral meniscus tear, my ACL completely retracted into a stump in my knee OUCH!!!!!! Plus way more damage right down to the bone

Sad thing is I can actually walk pretty good now just can't bend my knee without discomfort but I can drive and press the clutch so all is good lol. I did not feel that much pain before but now I do ???????? talk about all psychological

I need full reconstructive surgery, I am going to wait till after summer is over or I will be a very very grumpy Italian, and we all know thats not good for anyone .
