He will be easy to spot. He will be the one telling everybody to "F*ck off and buy your own Ferrari"........
l thought this was a ferrari forum not a f**ken poo*ters chat forum .this talk about poofs like pp makes me sick,these forums are for ferraris and if you can not control yourselves you can just fu*k off
hmmm, intelligent post. So how many Ferraris have you wanked off over? I think you better gain a sense of humour if you knew anyone of us you'd know which side the bread is buttered... although, did you know that a recent survey determined that over 92% of homophobics are closet homosexuals in total denial? Anyway, dream on Oh, and seek guidance at Hillsong on Sunday
hang on... I just checked all your previous posts... is it true you're the owner of this blown 355... but you drive a hairdresser 355 and you're homophobic... hmmm... and have a need to make your car more masculine than other Ferraris... a bit disconcerting methinks... fighting sopmething??? perhaps that percentage is greater than 92... (just stirring Tony )
Wow, keep reading and imagine what you find... Tony De Felice???? best be nice to me... I'm a customer ;-)
Yeah.. and we all know that customers are always to be told that they are right, or something like that. Not where I come from... Tell it like you see it... and Ton is right.. This thread is trashed. Ton has a serious piece of equipment and a genuine ability and willingness to produce it for those interested. Let's get it back on track if we can....... The lap time I got for the Calder track day was 64.48 on Allans first flying lap. Then one of the blanking bungs for the plenum came loose and boost was being wasted, making the next pass a low 65, and Allan pitted saying it was enough. The extra power absolutely exposes the chassis weaknesses, even at Calder which I am surprised at. I though it'd do mid 62 on Corsa, and Allan said he thought it might, but it would just be too risky with its current set up and just on a gentlemans club day. It's begging for some springs and shocks, and I think Ton'll do it... or maybe just for the purpose of testing someone could loan some 355C race suspension... 360C... what have you got...?, Or anyone else. Ton, thanks for bring it out, and also thanks for suffering the minority that detract from what you have done. I'm still gobsmacked by it's acceleration, and the fact it hasn't spat its cogs all over the road after so many drags and burnouts and now a Calder track day.......! Pee Pee, your car (or any other) would be so totally different to drive with this power that you wouldn't recognise it, and to say it'd just be quicker down the straights, highlights just how little you comprehend about it all....
I'm sure that the CH would provide a better basis for the TT than an F355 Spider, but would the CH race suspension/settings be enough to harness all that power, making the car handle as competently as it goes in a straight line... would they? If so, I'd be very impressed to say the least!
I have the optional Extreme technology N-GT shocks and some springs. Also standard 355 Shocks and springs.
so far alan has said some ohlins would work $3300 a corner l know koni also has a 4 way. what are extreme tech n-gt ? anyone fuc*ed with shocks and springs ?
Extreme Technology shox are actually basically a Koni 2 way. They come as the first level up grade on 360 N-GT. I have set up sheets for N-GT #11,12,13 that all came ex works with these shox. They'd be a good thing for your type of car, but servicing and alterations would be a little slow/difficult from this hemisphere. Ohlins are the best for all reasons, but yes, you can save some money. Open and closed lengths are the trickiest thing to get right when speccing shox from scratch. Finding shafts and bodies that fit properly with (the perceived)correct bump and droop travel are the key.
Ohlins are top of the range shocks that were developed locally for the Michelotto 360 (N-GT) and the 360 Challenge cars that were raced here. The extreme technology were available as an option on 360 Michelotto's. Slightly better than the stock Koni's that came with them. IMO the Ohlins are overkill on your car. Whatever you do, the ride will be severely compromised for street use and unless you are going to circuit race your car- are they necessary? My old 355 Challenge ran 1800lb springs on the front and the ride would literally shake the teeth out of your head. It's a matter of where you intend to use the car in the future IMO.
The beauty of the Ohlins is that they have the most perfectly linear wide ranging adjustment... you can go from near zero to near solid with just a few clicks of the knobs. With cheaper shocks, the valving usually means that you operate up one end of the scale in varying degrees of linearity, where 1 click in the middle of the range is a big change, and 5 clicks at the end of the range makes no difference... How fast can you afford to go? Spend wisely once, or chip away and potentially spend more with lower results after several attempts... (common failing!) Of course, any rep for each brand will tell you theirs is the best for "X" reason.... But I've used Moton, Koni, Penske, Proflex, Sachs, Bilstein and Ohlin..... and Ohlin work out best value/most consistent/reliable all round.... in my experience.
I agree; but what's he going to use the car for and how often? If he is going to track it, is he REALLY going to be stuffing around constantly changing the shocks settings? Most people with street cars "set once and forget" by my observations? No point spending $12k PLUS if you don't really need to. I have the Ohlins as you know, and I would have lapped the same on the Extremes if the truth be known.
so ohlins do not make a bolt in unit there web state a shock for 575 gtc once you have found the right settings your done correct and you can make it resonable for street ?what lb would l have to run ? alan said it wouldn,t take much to get the car under 60 sec at calder thats the goal post
May not take much in that it only requires shocks, springs, sway bars and brakes. However, that can add up to very serious money, very quickly indeed.
If you are doing shocks/springs ONLY- sure. However, it needs brakes and bars as well. $3300 a corner would be CHEAP
