    I put the SHELL SPIRAX S5 ATE 75W90 into my 348. While cold shift into second is still there I can downshift into second far easier and I can shift into second long before the gearbox is up to temp. It feels more silky. MUCH better than the Amsoil Severe Gear I was using. Can't say if its better or worse than anything else, I only used 2 so far.

    Great thread, I really enjoy the pictures and seeing a 355 being loved. I think the challenge grill looks great on Rossa Corsa. Breaks up the color in a good way. I cant imagine driving my car any lower in the front, as I scrape a lot.

    Thank you Ernest
    Yeah Need to be very careful with 355, on slopes, very easy to scrape.

    Great thread! I'm looking to my sticky plastics and sort my leather dashboard as well, are you going to recover or do you think the leather could be reworked?

    Hello from the UK! First post.

    It needs new leather recovering. Basically taking the old ripped leather off and putting new leather on. I haven't heard of anyone reworking the leather.

    This is a great thread! Your car sits perfect now. Simple suspension back then now we have to deal with mag ride which i particularly hate. Been looking at 355s and 348s for a while now. I am inspired. Time to learn. subscribed!

    Shurik355,

    I find it very interesting that we have similar tastes in vehicles. I likewise have a red 355 with a black interior and a gun metal gray 370Z. Bravo. Have you had much luck selling the 370? I have tried for 2 plus years for mine with no luck. Good luck both are great cars.

    Got some parts replaced, and also redone. Got new shifter console, new A/C vents and new climate control cover. The reason why my lights were so dim on the climate control is due to the stickiness of the old panel. Replace it with a new and it's as new. Thanks to StickyRX for parts

    That's the nastiness of the old climate control panel, the reason why my lights were so dim.

    I didn't take a picture of the actual climate control being cleaned. This is all assembled and new cover panel replaced.
