<![CDATA[Ferrari mechanic, tho Bmw fanatic]]>Ferrari mechanic for a living I’d have to say this challenge took me longer with bloodier hands than a full service on a f355! ,lmao,pita...so again getting a weekend to my own projects so I’ve decided to start gathering parts over the last month,still currently awaiting downpipes to show up ,the list’ was starting with the Schwaben scan tool from turner on sale wich I like and suggest.., chargepipe, relocation inlets,catless downpipes 3”,oil filter housing gasket again ..with intake ports walnut blasted and new gaskets,spark plugs and coils packs , new serpentine and tensioner along with rear subframe bushings inserts for a start, tho the relocation inlets set me back alone that project took over ten hours the rear turbo inlet was such an enormous pain the the ****,it took me under car 20+ times without a lift ,a 30” crowbar from top pushing down and someone wiggling from top back and forth with the stock downpipes in the way it is sooper tite ,I’d say half the time was on the rear turbo inlet getting aligned now I can finally get to the rest of the Jazz with ease now all that plastic crap out of the way ...,I was really hoping to install downpipes since I had the entire weekend to get things done but I’ll have to wait. So here are few pics after and I’ll keep ya posted on the rest ..also awaiting xpipe for resonator delete ,then a good buddy from the Ferrari shop is building me a custom air box along with finishing up the exhaust another weekend..pe mod is done so that’s taken care of ,one day at a time ..

Ill toss couple other pics from Cavallino classic for yu Ferrari lovers ...I figured the Ferrari headline is a catch lol

enjoy !

Interested to see how the pipe looks all welded up. Now you won't have to run the quad double double deep intercooler the n54ish guys are running. 

I would say make a jig for the pipe and sell them but the stuff you got rid of wouldn't be considered plug and play for the home gamers.

keep it up

well I stayed up last nite to start making my colder air relocation inlets even tho the ones from mmp are cute and all I still prefer them boxed off of colder air so this is what I came up with so far I think it will work ,I’ll have to still notch out the front pipe to turbo to connect to the other pipe basically like a Ypipe inside the bay and yea I decide to trash out some plastics on the very front wich were kindof just in the way for me ,tho I’ll still have to make the fender liner itself fit properly ..should be almost plug and play when I’m done !

I still remember when you could rent Neo-Geo from Tri-Star... The Mexican food there is better than the old video rental place ever was though.

Edit: just noticed the pick of the e34 with the ladder on the roof. I remember seeing that car around before I moved a few years ago. Why were you always hauling ladders around?

There are a few Ferraris that I absolutely love but its hard for me to love Ferrari as a company. They babysit and tweak their cars when journalists and testers have them, are too exclusive on who can own certain models, on the really hot models you get to pay an exorbitant amount of money for the "client-test driver" program and cant even keep the car at your own mansion, and they nail lawsuits on their own customers when they "desecrate" them such as Deadmau5's nyan-cat livery, and a wrecked 360 that was made into a limo. Very cool that you get to work around this stuff though.

Looking forward to seeing your custom airbox!
