What have you done to your Ferrari Today?

Replaced the starter, fitted a high torque one, engine spins over nicely now, back out driving in the sun.

 

Kim, can you please explain how do you do ? And where did you got this part ? Thanks

 

The part was only the lower valve was broken.
With taking it out of the car I found the missing peace in the air vent pipe.
So then I drilled a small hole in the ring an cut a nail in pieces to use as a swing.
The other part of the nail I used to make a U so I coud use for the arm to fit it back.
I drilled 2 small holes in the plastic where the arm is attached in.
I put the nail that I make in a U in it and fixed with some glue.
Now it works better then the other 2

 

I Don't know that MacGyver is an F-chatter

 

Just back from a 50 mile drive counterclockwise around Mount Diablo via Morgan Territory Road. Wow. What an interesting (narrow!) piece of asphalt. Two way traffic. Lots of blind corners and blind hills requiring extra slow passage. It's in my "backyard" but had never driven it before.

This is awesome. Is there a link to a process or can you provide the expertise?

 

Mike - do you know what size the 14" wheels take?

 

I believe all 308 uses the same center caps. Let me measure the one from my original 16” and get back to you later. Are you using it on your stock 14 inch wheel? By the way the stock cap is not only a sticker, it’s the whole plastic center caps with the sticker inside covered by the hard clear plastic, is that what you need the sticker for?

 

I went to the racetrack!... First time in the Ferrari. So fun.

It's all text, no pictures but it's pretty simple and obvious when you are looking at the relay and fuse block. You can get the diodes on Amazon.

 

Quick project: refinished my ashtray cover. And yes, I did rotate the badge another 7.83° after taking this pic.

Great, thanks much!

 

Change Spark plugs NGK Iridium and change gear oil Redline MTL

 

Nice picture! What year is your 308?

 

I'm up to 500 miles since late April. Clean, gas, repeat.

 

4right, it's a '77.

Took 328GTS out for a drive yesterday. It was very humid with 80 F temperature. AC air at dash register was 39 F at the end of each cycle at 60 mph. York compressor seal was replaced in 2012. So far, so good.

I cleaned off the caked on bugs my 360 killed on the 1,100 mile overnighter I took last week. Not sure how you guys do it, but I drape paper towel lengths over the bumper facade and spray them down with water until they cling. Respray every twenty minutes for about two hours, and they just wipe right off. Works on mirrors too.

 

Clever!

 

Those Dremel tools are damn handy. Using mine today to try and remove a frozen-on check valve.

 

Yes and it really cleans very good.

 

When my Dremel tool wore out, I bought a Foredom TX system. I really like it. A definite step up in quality.

Can't believe you got this! I was just thinking exactly the same thing. I had to use my battery powered Dremel because of the speed control dial. My AC version runs only fast. I was using the cutting wheels and had to keep the revs down due to sparking—a no-no where I am working. Compactness is also critical as you well know.

The other issue is that I am working blind half the time. The check valve near the firewall is in a miserable place. So between a mirror and a camera I managed to avoid collateral damage.
