    I just wanted to let all you good people know, I've finnaly got the 348 finished, (and stable), and now, I'll look for my next project. Much Thanks to James Patterson of Norwoods, and Mark Eberhart as well. The car has been a blast, but all good things come to an end.
    Here's the link:

    I didn't do the ad, but I appreciate his enthusiasm. Currently, he's fielding the inquiries from eBay and the plethera of other sites he's got the car going to, I volunteer to answer questions from Ferrarichat family.

    I've never tracked the car, or taken it to the dragstrip. So, I really have no idea what the real capabilities are.
    I do have some dyno sheets somewhere, in the plethera of paperwork that goes with the car. They show a, (calculated), flywheel horsepower of about 505.

    When I was down checking out my car at Norwood's about a month ago I saw this car there. I even got a chance to hear it rev a few times when James was checking it out... Amazing!

    I'm green with envy for whoever gets this!

    But then make a good conversion not like on that one there. Turbos behind the cat so effective like drilling holes in the pistons. If the one who build this know how a turbo work he woldn't build it that way.

    Sometimes we all can speak of things me may not know the ENTIRE story.
    The cat's are empty, my friend. No need to appologise. I just wouldn't underestimate James Patterson of Norwoods. He drove a few of the record holders on the salt flats. I'd say he knows what he's doing.
    For some interesting reading go to bobnorwood.com. How fast is fast?

    I second that - He just did a ton of work on my car. Easily the best F-car mechanic (or anything else) I've had the pleasure to work with. The history he and the shop has with Ferraris is simply amazing. Pick of a few back isses of Forza Mag and you'll see them.

    It'd likely be cheaper for me to ship you this one. How about a holiday trip to the States for a test ride?!

    Hahaha,well he actually has 2 T44(i think that was them) turbos there in the shop,and wants to piggy back a Link-1 ECU into it. All parts i would get cheaper,what he pays for them and it would really cost me nothing,as the labour/dyno/tuning charges wont apply because at all,because we are really good mates. Thats why i was thinking about it,and this guy is really really good. He knows he sh*t. He just told me yesterday that he is thinking about leaving town and opening up another performance shop 1000km away.... :( Gotta make my mind up soon i think. :)

    Jeff, I'll bet you feel a loss when it's gone. But like when you sold the 308QV, it'll pass as you get into your next project! Best wishes, as always!

    You might PM me your price for the car... my next door neighbor is currently in the market for a 348, though I don't know if he'd be willing to go the extra bucks for the turbo and other extras you've done.
