The how to modify & maintain your Ferrari yourself thread

I have sold most parts, I still have some left like some trim the aircon (last bits to be removed), the door glass as I need them as a pattern for the poly sliders

 

So there's no way it's going back to std then

 

Russ thats an honour coming from you, I have admired your carbed 3.2 since you posted it, its something I might consider in the future budget pending (carbs & race ignition)

 

Actually the worst thing about this project is the previous owner waxoyled everything (good in the long run), but things like the long aircon hoses run from the front to the back and I got covered in waxoyl when I pulled the hoses through the sills

 

when do you think your first trackday will be and which track will you be using

 

Have you done any suspension or brake mods Pete, or are they still std??

 

Probably Snetterton, its my favourite track, I've been round there 3 times now and I love it, oh and its a mere 44 miles away!!

 

Not yet (apart from Goodridge hoses & race pads, both still to be fitted), that is next on the agenda, my only worry is when you start uprating the suspension/wheels etc.. it puts a lot more strain on the hubs, and I don't want too much strain and things snapping off mid corner as they weren't designed to take too much load

 

Got a good mod for the alternator mtg bushes when yours go, had to do it on Ade's car when it pulled the belt pulley's out of line, but I warn you it involves TR7 parts

 

well the ramp went up quicker today

Dale,

What do you think about the 3200's? Are the 3200's the hookeye ones?

 

Er No!

 

I'll bear that in mind

 

Heres a couple of pics of the aircon I removed in the last 10 days
1.Airvent/main unit under dash 10.1Kg
2.A/C Condensor Rad + Fan 5.1Kg
3.A/C Compressor + Brackets 12.5kg

27.7Kgs just them bits alone, that doesn't include all the large bolts & very heavy hoses switches & wiring etc...

Steve - don't worry about this guy. He clearly follows your every post and thread. He's doing the naughty but nice things 'cos he lurves you!

Your posts are boring my friend. Nearly all of your last posts have been attacks at Steve / Steves posts...

 

Please Lee not here as well, if its kept in the one thread they can't moan

 

Now that the compressor is out the way, doing your cambelts is even easier.

 

definitely I can see most of whats there, its just the shims and the cogs not moving, things like that scare me

 

Use 2 camlock tools and nothing will move.

 

Where would I get them from?

 

I got mine from Snap On, but you can get cheaper ones, I'll have a look later and see if I can find a link to some others.

 

SORRY TO MENTION THIS WASNT THERE A FERRARI SPECIALIST GOING TO HIRE OUT SPECIAL TOOLS A SD02 TESTERS ECT

 

Here's a link to a thread that shows some in action, not the Snap On ones but will give you an idea of what you are looking for and how thet work.

I would prefer the Snap on, all my other gear is Snap On, I had a quick look on fleabay typing in Camlock or Cam lock but nothing came up.

If you can let me know the Snap On part number I can order direct

 

Cheers Steve, that is a really good thread
