Awesome thread. Thanks for the hints on little suspension noises and shock/a-arm bushings. 18K on a 97. I've seen all the items mentioned (fuel...
Got a Model S for my daily which is why the 550 does not get driven.
I've been away from the Ferrari market for some time now. I remember hearing the 12 cyl cars were depressed into the mid $50s a few years back...
There are two issues that I've had to face on my car that I do not see mentioned here. The first is the compromise between ride height and rear...
I assume Ethanol is killing the rubber bits. Does anyone have any experience with reoccurrence or expected life of new bits?
Have had a 550 for many years... Just starting to get into all the little things that go wrong. Thank you very much for the thread! It is...
That picture near your name tag looks very familiar. My next door neighbor has the Monaco winning Lauda car in his shop. I can not believe those...
Let's say someone gets to drive one of these machines. Let's say Mikeeee likes it. Well, there you go, we just might have a BOSS convert. I...

Obviously I am cheating just a bit when I say spank. I do it because my cars tend to run most of the time and the F1s are a little finicky and...
Killing herself would be bad. Killing someone else is completely unforgivable. Other sports beckon for amateurs. DPs, that's about right....
This is a shameless advert for the USBOSS series. I got out of bikes and into historic car racing seven or so years back. One day I saw Duncan...
Is anyone aware of a non-Ferrari suspension option for the 550? Specifically, the springs and dampers are tuned for heavy weight transfer under...
Thanks for the link and for posting the recall. There are people selling "fix it" cables on the net which basically move the ground pin over. I...
The K and L lines are indeed supposed to be pulled high. If your OBD2 scanner will not work on your 550, then check to make sure these line go...
Down to the local auto supply for a one way vacuum valve and a vacuum T. Twenty minutes later, after pulling a bunch of nasty plastic tips out of...
