My new 360

Not on standard ride height. CS wheels looks better when the car is lowered but lowering one of these is a big decision.

In what way? All 360s have coilovers; so lowering the ride height should be easy.

looks great, imo 360's look much better on the cs wheels - if I was you i'd be grabbing a set

I’m all for modding, but I think the stock starfish wheels suit the Modena’s softer lines far better. The 19” CS wheels need the CS bumpers and deeper sideskirts to really look right imo.
On a stock 360, the CS wheels can look oversized and the car make the car sit higher. Not to mention the brakes will look wimpy behind them and the ride would likely be spoilt.

Smart looking Tipo there OP.

LHD is no real issue with an F1 paddleshift A CS TCU would be a very worthwhile upgrade.

CS TCU’s are hard to find.

I’ve been looking

I thought the process was to have your ECU flashed rather than find the genuine item - lots of experience at places like AV

Being a man of more seniority means the low rider look is potentially a little out of place.

You need a late car to have a TCU that can be flashed, or you need source a 430 TCU with the right reference. These can be flashed, but its a gamble. I just spent £600 on a used 430 TCU and £600 having it flashed by Eric (AV don't flash them themselves), took it to AV for set up, the outcome was, half a mile down the road and a box of neutrals. The TCU is going back to Eric to be double checked on his car. But its possibly a faulty TCU. However, no recourse to the seller of the TCU is available after the TCU has been opened and re-flashed.

So its basically a £1200 gamble (My wife thinks it was a £300 gamble......)

Nick that’s interesting, I’m waiting to poke around and look at what the serial number on the TCU I’ve got on the incoming car, as I want to be able to connect Launch up to have access to bleed functions and relearning with out the expense of SD2.

Can you keep us updated please. Would be interested to hear the outcome as I suspect I’ll need to obtain a later TCU.

No problems. TCU will be with Eric in June and then I need to get the car back to AV

Tell me about it! I ended up biting the bullet and buying the part new from the factory. Not cheap, but worth every penny imo.

Are they still available? How much? if you don't mind me asking

Yeah I bought mine early last year, and they were in stock back then. They're £3k ex.VAT (!) from Ferrari. Although you can get them for slightly cheaper via eurospares.

Ouch

[Mark_Blanchard]

Have you thought about fitting a Challenger grill? They're good for dispersing engine heat and they help prevent the ECU's from frying in the engine bay.

I wouldn't bother with CS wheels, your Starfish wheels look classier.

[blueg33]

I also think the starfish wheel suit the car better

[m4tti]

I’ve got much “want” for some CS wheels. They’re a bit lighter too.

[Juber]

Lovely car!

I am desperately trying to get hold of CS Mirrors. There are some fakes out there but they dont fold and i have a 2 door double garage.

The TCU you can get from Eric at Ferrari Chat. Go join the forum, he can flash you one. This is something im looking to get done this summer. The standard Modena F1 system especially like mine the 1999 is crap

I think there’s some CS mirrors on one of the forums. He only wants 18k euros including postage

It’s eric who flashed mine. He didn’t have any in stock when I asked.
