"The Holy Grail? Manual Ferrari Challenge Stradale Conversion - ISSIMI Meccanica"

The DrS kit addresses those flaws in the EAG kit. It's good to see someone else switched on going through the conversion.

 

that is a great video, clearest one I've seen on the conversion variables

 

Love it

 

Sick shop

 

I live a mile from that place. I saw two of those CS being converted presently. Great clean shop, run by a great nice guy.

 

Went and saw this car the other day. I know a tech there. Shop is super clean and very nice. They have 3 cs cars there and all were converted

 

I couldn't quite tell from the video - are they using the Dr. S kits for the conversions?

 

The first one they did was a EAG (?) but all subsequent ones were all DrS.

 

Any chance you know what they charge for a manual conversion ?

 

Pretty awesome. I'd love to convert my CS, but there really is something special about the old F1 systems. IMO at least. It would feel criminal to change it.

 

I wouldn't change my Scud - the F1 is extraordinarily good.

But I would change a CS - a manual CS is my dream car, easily one of the greatest Ferraris ever.

 

I dont..

 

$50K

 

$50k for a manual conversion with a Dr. S kit? I get that altering the center console would be problematic, but otherwise that seems quite steep.

Are they using a carbon version of a standard 360 console or something bespoke? And what about the clutch pedal?

 

100%

 

I was considering a manual swap but think with Trev360's tune it's gonna be good enough...have other gated cars and the F1 downshifts on a strad are just so fun.

 

Thoroughly enjoyable video. Agree it was great to see the inner workings at that level.

Definitely a great shop.

Shaddup Eddie!

I'll see how it feels. I have other gated cars for when i want a manual!

 

Great, informative video. Issimi is a very professional shop, with Metha not only having an outstanding technical expertise, but also being very approachable and easy to work with.

We are honored at Cambio Manuale (Dr S) to provide Issimi with gated manual conversion kits which address the issues they found with a first aftermarket kit provider they have tried. For example our actuators which attach to the transmission operate like OEM returning to the center through a detent pin. Not to mention cast aluminum shift towers providing precise shifter feel etc.

The video also shows other aspects of a high end (Issmi) conversion. A budget conversion may just make a car driveable with a manual shifter. A high end conversion inspects and corrects other pre-existing issues with the car, making the car more enjoyable to drive and less likely to develop future problems.
