Does somebody know if its possible to transform a 360 F1 in a manual ??? i change my 355 for a 360 F1 and im miserable..... help !!
Others may comment on getting used to the F1 and ensuring it has latest software & is properly set up but the cost to convert to manual will be huge - you'd be best off selling the F1 locally and buying a manual LHD in the UK where theyoften seem to be cheaper
Can you say why you are miserable. I always liked manual, but everyone says the F1 is great. You are obviously like me and believe using a clutch is the only way to drive and enjoy a sports car.
I was at first reluctant to sell my e39 M5 6 speed stick and buy my current e60 m5 with SMG...after 2 years with the SMG including track events as well as daily driver use, I do not think I would ever go back to an antiquated foot clutch system...
The only possible way would be to find a garage that specializes in recycling Modena's. As people have pointed out this will most certainly not be a cheap conversion. You are most certainly better off selling your F1 and buying the Manual. I feel your pain, I too just don't get on with flappy paddles. The manual once its properly set up is quite excellent (cables adjusted properly). There is nothing like that metal slotted gate shift. The polished ball feels so great in your hand and heel and toe-ing is sublime. Get into a flow and there is nothing quite like it. Far more fun than playing with the Playstation controller, sorry I mean paddles.
the thing is in portugal there are just a few cars like this ...and almost all F1....change and buy let say like in uk of germany is not a very good business...beause in portugal we have some stupid tax we need to pay if we import a car from other country.... and a lot.... so i just leave car for sale and wait.... anyway thanks for help... i dont like system in traffick, for parking and come o....it can be faster...but its not fun at all !!! changing for 4th to 5th at 200km is not the same with the finger....
For the cost of changing the 360 to a 6-speed (not counting diminished value after the conversion) it would probably be cheaper to buy back your 355 and keep both cars. It would really be THAT expensive to do a proper conversion.
