On my Speciale, I switched to the Pagid RSL1 pad and leaned into the noise. The OEM ones would sometimes be quite and sometimes be ultra annoying....
It is worth the price difference if you want it that much more! 99.99999% of people have no idea a Speciale isn't a California. Is is going to be...
The only thing that was not obvious is after you unscrew the screws and remove the airbag, you have to pull hard enough to break two rubber pieces...
I had the same goal of having a high mileage Speciale that I keep forever. I put 4k miles on it the first year. However, as it appreciated, I...
The S&P 500 is up 100% since then. So buy a Scud or Pista if you want and use the leftover to get an Inconel exhaust, or fire your financial...
It sounds like an angry vacuum cleaner. Fun car, horrible stock exhaust.
I think some Speciale's had carpeted interiors. I don't know why you'd put a floor mat on the nice metal though. It's metal and cleans much easier...
There is some chance it'll fail. Right now, it appears newer models are more reliable, than a 2010 458, but a 2010 458 is also older. The truth is...
Gearbox/DCT fluid is a little aggressive as far as I remember.
I don't know for sure, but I've been told you only need the X pipe in order to get the pitch changes. Messing with the cats and header only change...
I love the car, but the stock exhaust is lacking. It doesn't change pitch. With an X-pipe, you have more a rumble down low and a scream at 8k+....
I'm using Kline Inconel and love it. The X-pipe should be mandatory on these cars, the stock H-pipe is pretty terrible.
If they are long, they are aftermarket, there was an option for carbon fiber paddle shifters, but they are the same length as the standard ones.
Which car? This section of the forum includes five different cars.
Only extra noise I hear when turning is stuff sliding around under the metal flooring.
Have you looked at your brake line going into the caliper? It should be metal, I don't know why you'd want to replace it. If you had a cheap...
I'm going to call BS on that. No 458 has done 180+ on the back straight at COTA. 165 is what mine will show, but it is really 158-160 with GPS....
Coolant, DCT fluid and brake pads is a bit aggressive unless you know they need to be replaced.
There are some PDF guides here on FChat. For an Italia, you have to remove the glovebox and then the dash. For a Speciale, you have to find the...
I'll add this. I've done this on both of my 458s. I encourage you to do this now. The plastic pieces in the dash are getting brittle with age. The...
