Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512TR

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

Hi, Dale.

 

They (Schedoni) are making repro luggage, but it’s not cheap (sold by Ferrari). I scored a full set for my 512TR on ebay, and love using it on road trips. It really does fit perfectly in the car.

 

I like Swepco and Redline transmission oil. For motor oil, I use dead dinosaur non synthetic Castrol.

 

I only use the synthetic on my newer stuff. J

 

Let’s hope the new left foot IS clutch capable, so you can remain a Knight of the Third Pedal! J

Hi Clyde,

              Thanks for the tips.

               I am getting an artificial left foot in about 2 months and as soon as I see if it  is clutch capable, I am looking to buy a 512TR or the earlier model. If not I will go to the paddle shifter cars. I am in Houston so Mr Risi's dealership is here as well as others fairly nearby as well as potential private direct resellers.

               Do you have the original luggage set? If not with the used car, can the manufacturer reproduce a period correct set?

               Any other unusual accessories?

               What oils and lubes do you use on the car? Any special additives?

               Thanks

               Ciao
