Let's see your modifications....can be interior,bodywork,engine/trans,wheels/tires,etc. These mods can be for asthetics,performance, or reliability improvements. Show us your pic's with any opinions or reasons for modifying. This thread is NOT for the Ferrari purist who believes these cars should remain stock. I'll be posting pic's of my project 355 later on.... Let's have some fun and enjoy what everyone is doing to get the best out of these magnificent cars.

^^ Those are the best headers I've seen for these cars. 1 piece primaries or were the welds just polished out?

Fellow fchatter's F355, I love his steering wheel. Also has a capristo, which sounds incredible. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'd have to add replacing the bypass valve and the steering wheel. The factory bypass sounds like a buzz saw at idle. The replacement doesn't really improve performance (mine probably actually hurts it) but definitely makes driving more pleasurable. The stock steering wheel is just too narrow and doesn't feel quite right. THere are lots of great options. Personally, I went with the CS wheel to retain some notion of factory look to it.
355CH gearbox with triple disc lw flywheel/clutch assembly. Unbelievable response in rev's....only concern is 2nd order harmonics but hey, that's why I have plenty of spares laying around....lol Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think I would have to say the best mod I ever made was to change to Pirelli Corsa, R-rated tires. Biggest difference for the least amount of money Second best would probably be the brake upgrade based on Ferrari 550 brake discs and Porsche 993 turbo calipers...
A must for any 355 are Hill Engineering components. From tensioner bearings,throw out bearings,door handle mechanism....and on and on.
