I've got 88K on my 2001 Euro spec spider. Still my daily driver with 500 miles of highway every weekend. Still going strong thanks to my WARRANTY - IT'S CALLED DOMINICK! Thanks for all the help brother!

I wonder how many belt changes were really done in the life time of your car.

Hi Ryan,
I document pretty much everything including running costs on my club scuderia on line scrapbook thread:
https://clubscuderia.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/giles’-360-modena-on-line-scrapbook.60297/

But in summary, I bought at 144k miles, I’ve had it 6 years and put on another 60k miles.
In that time it’s broken down twice, once with a failed crank position sensor and other a perished coolant (bottom) hose let go losing all my coolant. I give it regular maintenance and service, I spend plenty on it, as said, all costs are detailed on my club scud thread, around December time, documenting the years running costs.
The oil doesn’t need to be topped between services, compression is still really strong and even across all the cylinders and it drives very well indeed.
Cheers, Giles

What were the symptoms associated with the failed crank sensor?

I've had the car for over 18 years, so this will not be a short story.
Shortly after I purchased the car, I bought a Capristo level 2 exhaust system. I paid Ferrari of Los Gatos to install the exhaust system. They installed the exhaust incorrectly, and every time the car warmed up, the back of the exhaust would bang against the framework behind it. I personally removed the exhaust, did some slight modifications to the cat side openings (so they would clear the weldments on the cats for the O2 sensors), took the Capristo stainless mounting bracket to a machine shop and had them elongate the mounting slots, then reinstalled everything. It worked perfectly. However, back then I did not know that you could unbolt the overflow coolant tank without disconnecting the hoses. I also didn't know that the coolant system would not self-bleed the air out of the system like a conventional front engine car. So when I disconnected, then reconnected the overflow coolant tank, I inadvertently induced air into the system and didn't know to bleed it out. Another time I removed the coolant tank to have it powder coated, inducing more air into the coolant system. I can't remember the details, but I removed the tank another couple of times for some reason. Then one day while on a very spirited drive, I watched the coolant tank explode in my rear view mirror. My water temperature gage was pegged. I let it cool down, put some water in the car, had the tank welded back together, and the car ran perfectly for years after that. However, the heat cycles allowed the head bolts to be reduced in torque ever so slightly, so one day while driving normally, I pushed out one of my head gaskets. Just a little breach in one of the corners of one of the heads. But at that time I had already had 70,000 miles on the engine, so I had the cylinders honed, new rings, all new bearings (crank, rod, etc.), new oil pump, had the heads milled 11 mils, 5 angle valve job, new belts, everything. The car has crazy horsepower now (because of the milled heads) and has been running perfectly for almost 40,000 miles now.
I had two intercooler failures. The first one was bad. The coolant got into the transmission and washed all the lubricant off of the bearings and synchros. This necessitated a transmission rebuild. I caught the second intercooler failure almost immediately, so no damage was done. The suspension parts just wore out after 100,000 miles. I've had many belt changes, tire changes, brakes, etc.
Hope this helps someone.

What alerted you to the 2nd intercooler failure?
