    Haven't had a chance to post my car yet.

    1998 355, 6 speed manual coupe.

    Steven from Daytona auto in Toronto found this car for me. It has 27xxx miles on, recently serviced and fully sorted minus a CEL because of the cats. Over the next coming months i'll be modifying the car and I'll post pictures along the way.

    Soooo let's begin.

    Here she is, the modular wheels aren't bad but not my style so they're going away.

    Parked next to a bright yellow 348

    Ceramic coated fabspeed headers, installed.

    Hyper-flow cats, installed.

    Does anyone remember this video game from the 80s?
    [​IMG]

    Well I ordered a new license plate for the car in honor of that game :)

    So if anyone lives in the Toronto area I highly recommend Daytona Auto, one of their head techs used to be on Schumacher's f1 team, some pics of his credentials. Awesome dude and highly knowledgeable.

    Every day, the owner makes a pasta lunch for the boys. Pretty awesome shop.

    So what's next? H&R springs and an aggressive drop are in order soon to be finished, f50 carbon shift knob, euro clears then wheels.. stay tuned. :)

    BTW how do you hyperlink on this forum? I used html code.

    If you played the game, you would also recognize that the artwork is incorrect for Outrun! The image shows the F40, the original Outrun game was a convertible Testarossa with the 4 speed manual shifter! :p

    ...and everyone got a hot blonde in the passenger seat! Perfect Ferrari-gear!

    Thanks Candream, Rob good to hear from you, it's been a while!

    OK so another update, H&R springs installed, lowered the coils as much as possible, let's see what happens.

    Removing the factory coil overs is a pain but not horrible, you can see the massive garage I have lol.

    The plate arrived, I know it's not really true to the game but it gets huge laughs and thumbs up plus I could never drive a TR.

    My 98 and my 91 mr2, sadly the mr2 mops the floor with the 355, that's ok, I still love the 355.

    Just a rad pic that needs to be in this thread.


    - Ryan

    Congrats! Nice looking car. I like the plate too. I've been trying to think of one for my car but so far haven't come up with anything interesting. We will have to go out for a drive sometime....say in 7 months. LOL

    LOL! In MA it would still be banned as offensive. I will be registering RSSINA for my 348 Spider, once my dang stamped RMV form comes in! Stupid USPS! ARRRG! Still, love the thread an pics. My garage situation is very similar, if a little older.

    I think I would prefer "SPECIAL". ;)

    Even the factory is doing it with the challenged 458 "SPECIALE". LOL
