You aren't hijacking it. This was why I made the thread. I had a lot of questions, but the information was scattered. I was trying to get it in...
No complaints. I haven't noticed anything unusual. This is the first gated Ferrari I have driven in 20 plus years, so I don't really have a...
Wrapping this thread up. I picked the car up on Friday morning. On my way over, I realized that it had been quite a long time since I last drove...
Pedals are in and first road test was this afternoon (installers, not me). Preliminary reviews are very good. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
George, I agree completely. We have been doing other work on the car all along as little stuff has popped up. Yesterday, I believe 360Trev...
Shifter is in, cables are connected. Pedal work up next. [ATTACH]
Very. Thankfully, the weather is awful, otherwise it would be even harder to be patient.
You are probably right, that was the number I got, but my car is already apart as it is in the process of being converted to a manual so the labor...
Some progress pictures from the conversion as it moves ahead. I do want to say that Exoticars thoroughness is impressive. The car is getting a...
Just a heads up, the computer reading on the clutch was 49%, but it wasn't even close. It was well-worn and at risk for slippage under high...
6 weeks from payment to delivery. I have exchanged messages with George (from CM/Dr. S), who is on this board, and 6 weeks seems to be the...
I am having my 2008 F430 (first Ferrari, bought this past July) serviced for the first in conjunction with having it converted to a manual and...
The CM/Dr. S kit arrived today at the Exoticars shop. The shop reached out and let me know that the kit looks great and that they were impressed...
Gameplan is to leave the E-diff. We discussed the pros and cons and ultimately felt like the E-diff is a big part of the character of the 430 and...
Update: Exoticars picked my 430 up just after New Year’s Day. They were great to make arrangements with and their driver, Mike, did a great job...
Yes on the delayed power. I was surprised how poor the materials were for the stock speakers. Tweeters were like something you’d buy at Sears...
Cambio Manule (Dr.S). My research, coupled with the experience of the Exoticars guys was the basis for the decision. There are a few good videos...
Used a shop local to me. After a bunch of research they suggested just buying the subs in a pre-made enclosure from Scuderia Audio. It was a...
Made the trip to Exoticars today. Very cool place. Mike gave me some great information on the conversion and showed me a few of the other...
I put that Pioneer deck in my 430 and love it. Threw some subs, new speakers/tweeters and an amp in too. Sounds amazing.
