Just sharing a replacement roof side tension cable I made for my spider to help others in the future. Symptoms are that with the roof up the...
Many thanks for the comments and feedback. I used a local company who offer similar services to crashdata to change the op-amps and they spent a...
Hi, I thought people might be interested in an alternative HVAC that I developed for my 355 Spider and the journey I went on to get here. Sorry...
Thanks 953736 does seem to be the one and I also can't find anyone that stocks it. I'll just have to modify a right-angled pin PCB one.
Does anyone know the name/spec of the yellow connector? So far I know it as an Amp automotive 26W MQS connector and I'm trying to find a socket...
Thanks all! Thanks for the offer, but I'm in the UK so shipping would be a challenge, and I'm planning to do this over winter when the car will...

There is a spring on the Pawl, which I'm thinking I could try and increase the tension to see if that will help. I'm also looking around for some...
Unfortunately, although Superformance were unable to confirm that the part was compatible with a 355, they also they said that they no longer...
Many thanks Ian. I've just emailed Superformance to see if its compatible....It certainly looks the same. If it is, I may have a go at...
Hi. I've read that the F355 handbrake could be a bit suspect even when new, but I'm struggling to get mine to stay on. Most the time the ratchet...
Couple of other things whilst I remember. Removing the oil seals which are fitted inside the camshaft caps isn't easy. I was hoping they'd just...
