1 time catch all n00b question...

I swear this wont happen again! ;-) Ok, lets get started.

I am on the net looking for what I can do for my Yellow 95 f355b. After reading all over the forum, and I must say I have learned alot from you guys, THANKS!!! I seen a couple of posts that I would like to talk about. Let me break it down and group it. i would like to drive this car as a daily driver. cars are ment to be driven not stored. The car Has Speedline White wheels and "Alacosta"??? Suspension. Lets break it down by Interior, Exterior and Engine/Tranny. FYI, this is a 6 speed.

Interior...

I would like to get carbon seats for the car. I seen these seats on this thread. Factory options? Aftermarket?

i will eventually install a navigation in the car at some point. Other then that I was looking at this carbon fiber center counsle by Gruppe M

I was thinking of inner door replacements like this...

I will replace the Stering wheel with a 320mm Momo Race. Simple and clean. That sums up the interior..

Exterior...

I bought the 355 for the lines it has so I am not looking to put any bigtime aero kit on this. I would like to do something about the white speedlines. I would rater have stock wheels then the speedlines or 20 inch wheels like this thread...

The headlights will be replaced with HID and I am looking for a Challenge grill for the back end. This sums the exterior up.

Now lets move on to something that alot of you are better educated then I am in...

Engine/Tranny...

After reading through the posts concerning daily drivers, everyone is saying to change the exhaust manifolds first. I am looking to change the whole exhaust system but my question is, do I have to worry about the computer throwing errors if I use stright pipes? Should I only change the muffler? Also, I know I can not get the same sound but what muffler would you recommend that would give off a sound close to an F1 type sound?

Are there any other engine modifications that I should do off the bat? For the intake I will go with this unless you know of something better.

Should I look into an ECU? I think this would be to much for a daily driver though. I am not going to say money is no option but I am not worried to spend it. This is my first ferrari and I am looking to get used to the car as is first then start modding from there.

Again, sorry for the n00b post but you guys are prolly the best source on the net for info. Thanks guys!!!

 

scratch all interior modifications with anything but this.

Valenceusa you got my money. Period. great looking stuff.

 

Xavior,

Thanks for the compliment, we would love to have your business. We don't yet make those inner door panels, but we would like to do them in the next 6-9 months. Feel free to call or e-mail us and we can talk specifics. Good luck with the other modifications!

Save the money, paint the speedlines matte black. They will look awesome, and the wheels are "correct."

And on the Gruppe M center console, it doesn't replace the sticky parts, so you will be left wanting. Valence makes a one piece carbon panel to replace all the stuff that starts to look bad.

 

Thanks guys for the replies. Valence, you should come up with a single price for all the parts lol. Thanks guys for the replies. Any ideas on the engine work?

 

Love the door panels-wish I had some on my 348. How much is that US?

 

about 1800$
