"but an obvious reason is the fact that they lowered their estimates." PROBABLY BECAUSE YOUR "SO CALLED CAR" HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND THEY WANT TO GET IT OUT, BECUZ YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING ON REPAIRS. YOUR PAL, BRUCE
Bruce, I accept that you alter the truth to try to mess with peoples' minds and to vent your sick anger. Why does a person with the advantages you were born with have such anger? When are you going to accept yourself to include your sick side which is probably hidden from many people?
Dave Maybe Bruce will stop bothering you if you actually die. But then he would have to find someone else to carp at. Good luck getting your car up and going, and the sooner the better. As far as exhaust, if what you have now is working, just run it until some later point. No use slowing down the work to get the car out of the shop. Sorry to hear you been sick, after your car being stolen. You seem to have a good sense of humor in all of it. Paul~
Hey man, heres my 2 cents. I recently went to see and play with a 91 mod t coupe. It had the stock exhaust. It was quiet, the car idled well, but it was a calm sound. Not sure why someone else is telling you that it sounds better with an original. I also had the pleasure of driving with the top dwn a 94 348, once again orginal exhaust. Once again it was a soft sounding car. Even at 5-6,ooo rpm, top down it was not a buzz in the back ear I was expecting. My TR has a borla on it and sounds much better than both of these cars did. In short what I am trying to say is, either slap a tubi, or Capristo exhaust on this car and blast away. It would no doubt sound better than the original. PS. My neighbor has a 348 spider with tubi, and sounds ever bit of a race car at high revs. Ask Tbowsky on this board and Im sure he will concur with these findings. Good luck. Rick.
darth550: LOL, nice catch! Big Red: "Even at 5-6,ooo rpm, top down it was not a buzz in the back ear I was expecting." Would the buzz in the back ear of something like a Tubi be tiring on a trip. In the past I have owned two Ford vans with custom 4x4 conversions. One had a 460 with glass packs and agressive 4x4 tires. I found the noise of the glass packs to be tiring on trips. The tires were also part of this. Would the nice sounds of something like a Tubi be tiring on trips? Again, I have no complaints with Algars. I think they are a great dealer and I like them.
Actually my gear box and motor are at Algar, the rest of the car is at the body shop getting stripped, de-rusted, and painted. Gear box needed a rebuild. 2nd was getting pretty crunchy, so the synchros and hubs, along with some bearings, are getting replaced. The charging system on the motor was sub standard, so we're upgrading that with a 105 amp Alfa Romeo alternator. Cooling needed a tweak, so the radiator went out for an ultrasonic flushing. Dave
Ahhhhhhhhhh.. His is still there because he hasn't told them what to do with it yet. And perhaps never will... It's collecting dust on the 2nd or 3rd floor. DM
LOL, at least some people now think I own a Ferrari. Actually it is on the second floor, a few cars down from a blue Dino. DM's?
Sounds fair but then you can't hold it against people if they form the wrong opinion about you. I think it is very fishy why you would have your car there for repairs for months without telling them what to do with it. Are you just using them for storage?
Wow, way to duck! You should be in politics! Can I get a (worn out) Kumbaya from the congregation? NO? Good!
Dave - I don't know why I am getting involved but you make the above statement 15 or so posts after telling the world about your (serious) health problems.
Nope. That belongs, I think, to another Fchatter from my area. Mine is in Exton, in pieces, at the body shop. Algar only has the drivetrain. DM
These are two entirely different things. Coming from the extreme poor side of the tracks, I knew nothing about Ferraris. There have been many nice people on this chat who have been kind enough to share their knowledge. I wanted to share with these people. It was a mistake. No problems, I will never again make a public post. I will always own Ferraris, and will communicate with certain people on this board in private.
LAPINSKI...ANDY IS RIGHT YOU SPEAK OF PERSONAL HEALTH ISSUES BUT BRING IT TO A PUBLIC FORUM...GIVE ME A BREAK ABOUT PRIVATE SUBJECTS YOUR A SICK INDIVIDUAL......YOU NEED HELP FOR YOUR MENTAL SICKNESS YOU LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING HERE...JUST WANT TO POST FOR "HEY EVERYONE, LOOK AT ME" YOU ARE PATHETIC FROM THE LETTER P YOU HAVE MADE MY TOP 5 TROLL- TOOL LIST.. GO BACK TO CHURCH OR WHATEVER YOU WORSHIP AND REPENT YOUR SINS....
