    I changed the carburetors to throttle bodies and MoTec. Expensive but awesome.

    Already had hot camshafts.

    Just purchased QA-1 suspension too.

    Nothing extreme:

    Brembo front brakes
    Ultimate pedals
    Birdman fuse blocks
    AL shift knob
    AC delete (didn't work anyway)

    Want: Compomotive wheels, wish they still made them

    Finally got around to wiring up my day time flashers to my parking lights. Love the look of them on and I'm sure it'll help at night.

    Finished the plug to make modified internal trunk panels. For more airflow since I don't run a spare. Will mount my nitrous tanks there. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Do you think there will be an issue with the additional airflow under the car? Maybe more lift at higher speeds? Don't know how much Ferrari was into aerodynamics for street cars in the 70's...

    Please post more pix of the diffusers.

    Replaced the OEM steel expansion tank with a Superperformance aluminum one...that's about it! I also set aside (to preserve) my folding keys and ordered a cool red one from
    swong46. Installed a CTEK battery tender cable directly to the battery.

    They all inevitably get pinholes- mine did- (and corrode internally and you can't see it) - I didn't want to damage the engine, or have this problem again.
