Sounds promising on the water contamination.
Will be great with the new exhaust, will you have to modify the rear valance at all to accommodate the four exits?

Excellent news on the gaskets/cooling system. Its fine. biggrin

Something like Comma's Xtreme Green (G48) would be a preference on the coolant. Definitely the blue/green stuff which is Ali friendly anyway.

Thanks Lads! Hopefully no mods needed. The sports exhaust should come out lower and clear the valance, then at some stage I might fill the hole!

No shortage of videos today on how to take off a 308 exhaust. The race is on see who can get their one completed first.

Good news it seems. Still loving the indoor trousers. Was wearing my near identical pair today whilst watching.

Sadly no Ferrari outside my place through.

Enjoying the updates and the "Rupert the bear" trousers!
Should sound fabulous with a decent exhaust.

Was really happy for you with the most recent developments. Great news. party

Looking forward to the new exhaust. ears

BTW, you seem really handy working on the car. Is that self taught/keen hobbyist than any pro training?

Had the video saved to watch with my Sunday morning coffee but it seems to have been taken down due to copyright issues. Grrrrrr

It was a misunderstanding.. been resolved and should be back up in a few hours. In the meantime am doing a short video explains the copyright stuff plus starting it without a silencer and a quick tour of my vintage arc cars! Will be up in an hour or so I think!

Well the new exhaust has turned out to be a bit of a disappointment.. and controversial in terms of looks!

Regarding meeting another Ferrari owning Vlogger I was going to suggest they do a take on C'etait Rendez Vous but the woman at the end is you in a wig who then snubs him when he arrives and gets into your own Ferrari and drives off. It couldn't be any worse than the Monaco Leclerc one.

Whilst the crank is a flat plane item in the 308/348/355/360, the 360 Modena uses a different firing order .
However the 348, and 355 which use the same firing order as the earlier car can be given a proper flat plane V8 wail with the right exhaust, whereas the 308 seems to struggle in this department.
The transverse installation of the engine/transmission in the 308 makes the exhaust packaging more difficult, and the car runs 4 into 2 into 1 manifolds, whereas the later cars run 4 into 1 manifolds, and the real screamers (S-Line, Kreissieg etc exhausts seem to run X pipes)

308 firing order : 1, 5, 3, 7, 4, 8, 2, 6

348 : 1, 5, 3, 7, 4, 8, 2, 6

355 : 1, 5, 3, 7, 4, 8, 2, 6

360 : 1-8-3-6-4-5-2-7 (allegedly shared with the Cosworth DFV ... )

And the 360 in its most extreme guise :

Ryan Edwards is a very good exhaust fabricator, I'm sure he'll come up with something considerably better sounding then the Superformance sports exhaust.

Good info there again, Henry.

Jesus, the noise from that 360 in the last vid, incredible! If I ever get a 360 it will sound like that and probably soon after I will be serving my jail sentence!

BTW, just sent you an email

Jack, I know it's subjective, but I think your 308 sounds great as it is. I think it suits the character of the car. If you have too much of a screamer it's kind of out of keeping. They're not quick cars by modern standards afterall. Having said that I might change my mind after you get the new one done!
