Very nice 360

 

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

I'm getting reminiscing on my childhood and how much I love this car!
I'm strongly considering picking this up as my next car.

Please post more pics and even videos if possible

 

Here's the only pic I have yet of it with the f430 oem's on, sorry it's at night. I think a fantastic upgrade though. The black wheels looked good at night, but they are not the classic ferrari look I'm going for. I'm traveling a lot now, but hope to get more pics with the F430 wheels soon.

BTW, the existing lugs were too short and I had to find some new ones. Ferrari wanted $38 per lug, $800 for the set (omg) and the best deal out there is Racambi's lugs from Hill engineering for $18 each. Still not what I would call fun as I wasn't expecting this, but what are you going to do, need to attach the wheels .

 

Looks great with the 430 wheels. They fit the car perfectly.

 

I took some pics of the Ferrari and Porsche together today. Thought I would share...

 

Very nice! Those 430 wheels look great.

 

Mike beautiful 360 .They both look nice,your 996tt is beautiful too.

 

Beautiful garage and big thumbs up to your always well-written and erxtremely informative posts in the various threads

 

congrats man! I remember talking with your about the Ferrari last year glad to see your wish came true. Where in Cbus you living now?

Moved to Atlanta...rocking a gallardo and 997 TT these days

 

Do you know where the carbon fiber interior pieces came from?

 

Yes, they were put on by a prior owner and I have all the reciepts from them still (and I also have all the stock aluminum pieces that were removed in case anyone wants to make me an offer on those). Most interior CF parts (very good quality, beautiful weave) are from Valence USA: http://www.valenceusa.com/360.htm

The CF airboxes are also Valence.

I am a huge fan of how replacing all the aluminum with CF really updates the interior look of the 360. It is quite expensive though if you are adding it yourself.

The carbon fiber rear diffuser is made by Hamann. It's for sale by the way, if anyone is interested PM me (I prefer the big open gap look to having a diffuser there).

 

Congrats on the beautiful new addition. Love all the interior upgrades, and the 430 wheels just look right on this car.

 

very nice

 

I installed the CS TCU last week, and it's like magic. Instantly made shifts dramatically faster, crisper, and smoother across the entire rev band. Low/mid rpm shifts feel much crisper and no longer sluggish (although I guess I didn't realize they were sluggish before until I got the CS TCU in, although that is how these things work and I'm sure my car feels like a bus compared to a Scuderia or 458!). High RPM shifts happen instantly and sound like an F1 car, much smoother and less violent then prior 7k+ shifts (although I'm not positive one could tell a difference, they were fast before 7k+ but definately felt more jerking). The best part is (in sport) it now throttle blips on downshifts across pretty much the entire rev band, were as before it only did it (in sport) when downshifting at 4.5k rpm or higher really. Blip, blip, blip...love it!

Keep in mind I went from the oldest 360 TCU to the CS TCU, so this was a huge jump. Its a fantastic mod also in that it's one that will save thousands over my course of ownership on clutch wear as well as if I ever sell my car, I can sell the CS TCU seperately for at least as much, or perhaps quite a bit more, than what I paid for it since I don't see supply going up, demand going down, and new prices at Racambi are now up to $5200 for the CS TCU. A nice change from the fact most mods return less than 10% of thier value come part or car sale down the road.

I had PIS set at 4.7. It grabs perfectly off the line. Truthfully, I could not be more satisfied with this CS TCU upgrade.

Finally, happy 11th birthday to her; she's not showing her age yet! Pic is from last week after a wash and spirited drive blasting through gears with the new CS TCU .

 

Congrats!! i have been eyeballing 360 Modenas to add for a few months now.

I miss Columbus by the way. I use to have a place in Hilliard and then moved to Dublin very close to 18th hole at The Memorial.
