    and I can't stop smiling! I've met some great people and I'm learning a lot. I've already got my hands dirty lowering the suspension, installing the Mille Miglia (epic sound BTW), replacing torn CV boot, and most recently the new seats. It has been a dream of mine since I was 14 to have a red F355 with three pedals and so far it's all it's cracked up to be. I'm actually looking forward to this time in 2012 when I will be performing the major so I can see and learn even more about the car and appreciate al it has to offer.

    I can really understand your excitement!! I just picked up a 97 with 16k on the clock and I cant get the smile off my face. I havnt done any major work to her except to create the parking area and cleaning!! But just sitting in the cockpit does it for me!!!

    Yeah I wish I had a video to go with that parking garage pic. The sound of all the F-cars leaving the 348/355 meet was incredible. I was literally giggling as we all took turns revving up.

    There is simply nothing better than a Ferrari at full song - especially a F355 - pure spine tingling excitement.

    Beautiful 355 what type of seats are those and what kind of spring did you use to lower the car?

    348s and 355s use coil over shocks...so you lower them with the stock springs. Dial in your ride height at each corner, as desired.

    Passenger side is stock 355. Don't know what the driver's side is though...

    Both seats are Serie Speciale seats (see last pic) I just took the interim pics to show the difference between the two.

    I thought I added this pic in the initial post, my Nephew getting bit by the bug. A future Ferrari owner? My brother must hate me....... ;-)
