    Hello to all. I just recently picked up a 2003 spider in Grigio alloy, F1 tranny, and I love it. I am new to Ferrari ownership but I definitely know what I’m getting into having air cooled and water cooled 911’s and also currently own an Audi R8.

    My question mainly is, aside from the belt services that are apparently a big thing to have done what other things might I have to address on it in order to make this a reliable for the most part car??? I will be driving it as i do all my other cars. No garage queen here and it currently has 33,000 miles. And I want to start fresh so I know where I stand with it.

    Also is there a website or vendor that sells parts for these cars like in the Porsche or Audi R8 forums? Example pelican parts, R8 stuff?? Any and all help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    hehe, "pelican parts" i think us Porsche guys have it to easy, then we move onto ferrari and realize we will most likely be at the mercy of Mechanics lol. Congrats on the new ride- The 360 is one heck of a machine, just got mine a month ago with 42k miles and already put almost 1400 miles on it- (Funny that 40k miles seems a lot on these cars while on a classic 911 its nothing)

    Engine and tranny mounts go over time.

    The roll-over valves and charcoal canister on the gas tanks (yes, you have two) go too.

    Ricambi America is a good "pelican parts" replacement.
