    ...time to revive this thread.

    I've been working on a number of projects lately, not all of them are finished or pleasant. One project that's still ongoing and still (generally) pleasant (it was a lot of work) was the upgrades to my Cali30. Here's a recent photo of it with the current upgrades, not all of which are visible.

    The car handles much better, and is now also a whole lot faster with more torque and HP. It's also insanely loud when I want it to be. There is an issue with the sound I want to iron out but the increased performance is incredible. The car is scary fast. I have dyno'd the car and the numbers bear out what I feel behind the wheel. I have to do another dyno in a few days to check the latest upgrades.

    The new wheels were very expensive but were well worth it. The dyno numbers indicated 10 HP increase at the wheel (WHP), just from the wheel upgrade. With the OE H-pipe and cat the car just flies off the line from stop. It is now so much more responsive and faster that I have to relearn how to drive the car. Each rear wheel is 10 lbs lighter before factoring in the titanium lug bolts. The front wheel is 7 lbs lighter each. The car moves and turns like a much more nimble car.

    There were other upgrades installed but I still have additional performance and cosmetic upgrades pending when I have time to get to them and I will post them when they get done. If you have a keen eye you can spot 2 other upgrades in this photo, aside from the wheels.

    Thanks Tom.

    My car simply has the HS option so it's a bit lower due to the stiffer HS springs being shorter. The rear wheel is 21-inch so it may make the wheel well look smaller.

    Affirmative on the market lights, there's one more visible upgrade though. :D

    Nice shot! Works really well with the colour of your car.

    As for Ferraris, they really are so different from the other exotics, with a unique blend of performance, practicality and sense of occasion. My car still smells new, after almost 5 years of ownership. I love the interior. I have yet to find one I like more.

    ^ Thanks. That's an extremely sharp color combo, especially with the top down and the sun shining.

    I had an Azzuro California 456M GT. Good color, (classic long term Ferrari color). Especially good when the sun shines on it, and a sunny reminder of blue skies when it doesn't.
    Congratulations !
