Brian owes me I swear Im putting his kids through college I trust Brian with any car more than I would anyone else. He was a crew cheif in Indy racing and even worked int F1. If you can handle the abuse and extreme tolerances of racing you can handle ANY road car. Throw in the fact In sick and tired of all the bad experience, BS, lies, and horrible stories from autorized dealers I dont want to go anywhere else  | ||

Car is now at Brian's shop. I am so excited to get this project rolling!! When I was there there were 3 Ferrari's in for service. A 400i on the floor, a 308 and 328 up on lifts..... Brian was a super nice guy and was excited to start working on the car. Will keep you all updated with what is going on. | ||

SMS wrote What were the Ferraris having done? Yes, please keep us posted. What are the initial general inatructions to the mechanic? 400i was in for regular service. 328 was in for a major motor out, 308 was in for major motor out. For my car, Brian is going to first do a leakdown and compression test, then start going through what needs to be replaced. I am having a problem with the tranny at the moment. It will pop out of third gear under boost so that needs fixed. All the fuel lines need replaced as they are dry rotted and starting to crack. And there is a mix of other stuff needing replaced. I will keep you all posted! | ||
