Owners' Site (you need to own a Ferrari to get a
password...yes, they check!) Steve Jenkins' Private
document collection (308 and other models service
manuals, etc. Very cool site.) The best Ferrari chat site: Ferrarichat.com Buying
a Lift - An article I wrote on another site about buying
a vehicle lift for your home garage. (Best tool you will
ever buy!) My Amazing road
trip to the 2007 Montreal F1 race in a Mondial QV with
pics. A fun read! My adventure
driving a Formula 1 race car in France! In the New England area, I strongly recommend David
Castelhano, an independent Ferrari-trained technician.
His work is excellent, he is honest, and never cuts corners.
His shop is in Tyngsboro, MA. He has restored some of the
most famous Ferraris in the world, yet he takes just as much
care working on a 308 as a 250 GTO. My favorite Ferrari part suppliers are: Dennis McCann All

Most of the major upgrades I have done on my 308 have been covered in depth on Ferrarichat.com. Here are direct links to a few plus some that others have undertaken that I think are good reading: My first project: replacing the sway bar bushings. My 308 suspension bushing project including powdercoating the A-arms (unfortunately, the pictures in this thread were lost in a server crash). Development of an extended shock eye to use QA1 shocks on the 308 without modification to the A-arms Installing an Electromotive distributorless electronic ignition system. Experiments with aftermarket 308 QV replica wheels by Superformance UK. (I loved them, but sold them when I found a deal on real magnesium QV wheels). An easier way to install new suspension bushings....the way I will do it from now on. Installing stainless steel brake lines. The mod all carb 308 owners should make: The Russ airbox mod. (A long read, but worth it.) Replacing the coolant hoses in a 308 and Mondial How to remove and refurb the CV joints |
