Totally restored Ferrari 308 GTSi. lots of upgraded parts and new engine. It is my personal car that I've had for the last 4 years. this is the most fun car I owned. Only reason for selling it is I want to redo another project.

Only reason for selling it is I want to redo another project. Chassis; ▪ Water/Anti-Freeze Cooling System; • While the OEM copper radiator was flushed, rebuilt & re-coated, a new aluminum performance radiator (substantially lighter weight & more effective cooling) was purchased & installed in rebuilt mounts. The OEM radiator is in storage. • All new silicone hoses for water/anti-freeze cooling circuit lines • All aluminum cooling rigid tubes were examined & pressure-tested. • OEM cooling fans (unshrouded design) were replaced with modern shrouded design. • A new German thermostat has been installed in the engine • Engine water expansion tank blasted, re-sealed & painted • High pressure radiator cap • NFF billet aluminum high flow water pump, far superior to the OEM Ferrari unit • Under-chassis radiator airflow blocked with aftermarket vented plate to improve airflow through radiator without increasing air pressure under chassis at speed • The OEM oil lines to the engine were replaced with AN stainless steel aircraft lines with aluminum AN fittings • Engine crankcase vent replaced with aluminum Allstar unit o All new industrial grade oil hoses used to replace OEM hoses • Under-chassis rear cooling scoop added to direct more air to cool intake system ▪ Brakes; • The “official” Brembo big brake kit for a Ferrari 308 was installed o Brembo GT brakes installed on front with new rotors/hats (Girodisc) o Rear calipers painted red & new rotors/hats installed (Girodisc) • A new matching master cylinder from ATE (OEM supplier) was installed to compensate for longer brake pedal travel due to larger front calipers • All flexible brake lines replaced with AN stainless steel racing lines • All of the original brakes are in storage ▪ Wheels/Tires; • New 17” x 8” NTM custom wheels imported from Italy were installed as these were required to clear the front brakes ▪ Body; • Euro fiberglass front & rear bumpers installed with lightweight aluminum mounts • Instrument panel top replaced with NFF carbon fiber unit • Door interior panels replaced with new Spinneybeck black leather. • NFF aluminum undertray extension & skid plate installed in front of car, undertray extension improves airflow through radiator & bottom of car aerodynamics • New gas cylinders for hood & trunk • OEM air conditioning entirely replaced with modern Retro-Air system (Ferrari kit) that is lighter, more efficient & uses non-polluting coolant, all new hoses pulled through chassis • New “Daytona” exterior driving mirrors purchased • Seats have been recovered in Spinneybeck leather ▪ Suspension; • Modern performance polyurethane bushings installed in all control arms, front & rear • Front upper control arms clearanced & reinforced for QA1 double adjustable coil over shocks • QA1 double adjustable shocks installed with new coilover springs • Original Koni non-adjustable shocks in storage • New front wheel bearings installed • New front ball joints installed • New tie rods installed. ▪ Exhaust; • New high quality aftermarket European Ferrari coated headers & stainless steel exhaust system installed. There are no catalytic converters in this exhaust o Electrical; ▪ Birdman window accelerators ▪ OEM Ferrari alternator rebuilt using high quality components ▪ Birdman fuse box with modern cartridge fuses replaced OEM open Euro fuse box & fuses ▪ Brand new OEM Bosch fuel pump ▪ Wiring replaced as required o Engine; ▪ Ignition; • Electramotive distributor-less crank-triggered ignition installed to provide adjustment of timing (the OEM Ferrari ignition is calibrated to meet U.S. pollution specifications, significantly inhibiting performance) & to eliminate the outrageous cost of tune-ups (replacement of distributor caps, rotors, wires, coils, etc.) This was a kit purchased from an aftermarket specialist (NFF) in Ferrari performance improvements. • Distributor caps removed (no longer needed) & aluminum cam box covers fabricated by my tool & die maker. This also freed up more space in the engine compartment to install a larger engine oil cooler. • New spark plugs, wires & boots • Cylinder heads have been flow-tested to establish a baseline, mild pocket porting was done & then the heads were flow-tested again to substantiate gains. Port volume has not significantly changed, the improvements were largely achieved by smoothing the “short side” transition in the value pocket area. • The OEM sodium filled exhaust valves (failure prone) have been replaced by stainless steel valves • A multi-angle performance valve job was done • New one-piece OEM bronze valve guides installed along with new valve stem seals • Performance valve springs with titanium retainers replace the OEM springs & steel retainers • Valve lash set (car comes with factory shim kit & many OEM Ferrari mechanic’s tools) • NFF adjustable cam timing pulleys installed (far easier to time cams accurately than OEM pulleys & designed for modern cam belts) • Gates racing timing belts installed (modern design that lasts 100,000 km versus OEM design that last only 5,000 miles or so, very expensive in time & $ to replace belts if you cannot do it yourself) • NFF upgraded cam idler bearings installed. • High quality OEM head gaskets installed • Seals & bearings for cam drives replaced with OEM hardware • Air injection plugs in exhaust ports replaced with aluminum pipe plugs • All new stainless steel hardware used where appropriate ▪ Short Block; • New OEM cylinder liners installed with factory o-rings • NFF windage tray installed in oil pan, works very well, • • OEM connecting rods re-sized with new small end bronze bushings & new ARP connecting rod bolts on the big end • All new OEM std/std Ferrari engine bearings installed • Short block assembled to Ferrari factory clearances & torque specifications • Oil pump rebuilt to Ferrari specifications with new relief spring, piston & preload spacer • OEM Ferrari engine tools used to tighten all fasteners, all these tools go with car ▪ Fuel System; • CIS FlowTech fuel head installed (original fuel head was sent to FlowTech & same head was returned cleaned & upgraded to increase fuel flow) • All critical high pressure fuel lines upgraded to AN stainless hose & fittings • All non-AN lines upgraded to industrial fuel rated hose • Fuel hose mounts, etc. replaced with new hardware • All intake air lines after CIS air box replaced with silicone hose & aluminum tube • New CIS airbox rubber mounts installed • New rubber mounts installed for WUR & idle air bypass valve • Intake manifold air plenum painted Ferrari red • CIS injectors cleaned & flowed • Adjustable CIS warmup regulator (WUR) installed to facilitate easy tuning of fuel/air ratio • All CIS lines vacuum replaced with silicone • CIS air filter housing blasted, repainted & new Ferrari logo installed • New fuel filters have been installed • K&N air filter in OEM housing ▪ Transmission; • NFF shifter knob installed • Double lip oil seal installed in oil pan to improve on single lip seal (tendency to leak oil) • Double lip oil seals installed on transaxle to prevent oil leakage • Superperformance UK improved shifter gate installed to enable faster shifts • Upgraded universal joint for shifter installed on transmission • Custom balanced aluminum flywheel replaces OEM steel flywheel (original in storage) • AP rally Ferrari clutch & pressure plate • All bearings inspected & replaced as required, all critical clearances check & verified • All hardware replaced with stainless steel as appropriate • Axles & OEM Constant velocity joints cleaned & inspected, new boots & hardware procured, all now installed • Redline 75W90NS transaxle oil procured (Ferrari recommendation for modern transaxle lubricant) • OEM factory Ferrari tools used to tighten all fasteners, tools go with car • Documentation: o There are approximately 2 feet of physical manuals & 5 GB of digital files that document all work done on the car. This documentation includes OEM Ferrari service & rebuilding manuals. Note too all Ferrari OEM factory mechanic’s tools go with the vehicle. Just a bit of the work that was done to this vehicle. Lots of pictures and documents to go with this vehicle. This is my passion rebuilding vintage sports cars - now on to the next one!
