I do have it registered 99599 is serial number. I forgot to add that I installed a Remote Door Lock /Alarm system from Viper. Has a intrussion alarm on remote up to 1.5-2 mile range. I am pretty much done. Its time to drive and enjoy the scenery. I will going to a few C & C on the weekends. The Chesnut Hill C & C is closest but I will also go to the Original I am told on Route 202 at the Dilworth Shopping Center Starbucks. The meetings are posted in the PA. section I am glad you all agree with the changes I have made, As you can tell I will go to the shows but not compete for obvious reasons. She looks great and drives better. I could not be happier with the final results The wider tires do give it that glued to the road feel.
Glenn, I guess it's a good thing we purchased all those aluminum cam belt shroud pieces when we did. When Norwood did my major in December, the plastic pieces were also very hard to find. If anyone has a major service coming due on a later model 348 (those with the stock black plastic covers) in the near future, you can't go wrong in beginning the hunt for these parts now.
Hi Roberto, How are you my friend ?, Vegas must be heating up. Thanks for the kind words, your car is superb ! Regards Glenn
Congrats on getting your car finished the way you wanted, Glenn! Looks beautiful and hope you have lots of fun with it!
Glenn: She's a real beauty. You have done an excellent job of personalizing the car to meet your requirements, without going "overboard" as so many tend to do.
oh wow just when you filed away the 348 in the back of your mind this thread pops up she looks beautiful
Glenn, you know what I was thinking ? Now that you replaced the wheels with the 360 ones giving a better view of the brake calipers, it would be a good idea to paint them red .... I am going to do that. What do you think ?
Roberto, Why do you do this to me !!! LOL I agree with you and I have a a whole kit I bought many years ago for a Porsche I was going to do this exact same thing and never got around to it. I am thinking on maybe doing it over the winter and I can raise the car and take my time. I am still just thinking about it. When do you plan to do yours ? Please.. please post pictures Caio ! G
+1 It doesnt seem to suit the character of the car at all.. but to each his own. as long as you like it thats all that really matters
Yes, very nice work, but ... Aluminum pedals, yes ... Carbon Fiber, yes ... Wooden wheel, sorry-no. Carbon Fiber or leather wheel ... yes, yes, yes! But if you like wood, who cares!
I think the wooden steering wheel is a touch of class. If you would see it in the car in person, I think you would agree as well. This is probaly one of the nicest 348's I have seen. I know most are about not modifying to much. I know some modifying goes to far. This car was done with a lot of class. You wouldn't think it was a 95 if you seen it in person. The wider tires to the carbon fiber. Simply a very nice car. It was a privledge to finish it for glenn! I have more pics if anyone cares to see them. I just need to learn how to upload on fchat lol.
Thanks for the opinions. Today I like the wooden wheel, who knows I have the original it would take me maybe 15 minutes to swap and who know I may go back to the wood wheel or find something else that peaks my interest most of the modifications can be changed back. I really want to say thanks to all. I will be posting a sound clip very shortky on Youtube and will post a link in this thread.
I'm anxious to hear your Supersport exhaust. My Sport level can sounds incredible, and keeps getting better, so I can only imagine how good your setup is.
Thanks Roberto, It may be a little too loud. I will get a clip of it running when I get the chance I will keep it this way for now.
Glen, Very nice work, enjoy the drive!! Great pics as well. I also need to start looking for the metal t / belt covers!! Regards, Phil.
Glenn, the Supersport sounds incredibly sinister! You and I need to get some good in-motion clips, to get a real sense for what they both sound like at speed (to compare the Sport with the Supersport). Phil has the best clips so far - definitely what sold me on the Nouvalari. I know what mine sounds like from the driver's seat, at/near redline (and abolutely magical with the top down), but I've been told it's very loud driving behind the car, and that you can hear it from 2-3 blocks away.
