FERRARI
400iA
ARGENTO SILVER OVER BEIGE LEATHER INTERIOR
TWIN TURBO CONVERSION DONE BY GREG ARMSTRONG OF HISTORIC RACE ENGINEERING IN COSTA MESA, CA - BEST KNOWN FOR BEING CONTRACTED TO PRODUCE A RUN OF 7 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO TWIN TURBOS IN THE EARLY 90'S
CONVERTED TO A GM 4L60 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION TO BETTER HANDLE THE POWER OUTPUT OF THE TWIN TURBO ENGINE
TWIN GARRETT T3 TURBOCHARGERS AND A MEGASQUIRT ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTROL THE FUEL AND IGNITION
AT THE SAME TIME THE V-12 ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT INCLUDING FORGED PISTONS TO SUCCESSFULLY HANDLE THE BOOST.
THE A/C WAS UPGRADED WITH A SANDEN UNIT AND R134a REFRIGERANT TO PROVIDE A PROPER COLD CABIN EVEN IN THE 90 DEGREE FLORIDA HEAT
THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN REBUILT FRONT AND REAR WITH NEW BUSHINGS AND SHOCKS TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAILURE-PRONE SELF LEVELLING SYSTEM FERRARI ORIGINALLY INCORPORATED.
WHILE THIS MAY NOT WIN ANY AWARDS FOR ORIGINALITY, IT MAY BE THE MOST WELL THOUGHT OUT EFFORT IN UPGRADING A 400iA WE'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THE CAR OBVIOUSLY REPRESENTS A LABOR OF LOVE, AND THE NEXT OWNER WILL BE BENEFITTING FROM SOMEONE ELSES PRIDE & JOY (AND SEEMINGLY BOTTOMLESS CHECKBOOK DURING THE UPGRADE PROCESS).
IF YOU LOVE THE VINTAGE STYLING OF THE 400i, BUT LONG FOR MODERN AMENITIES, AND WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE, LOOK NO FURTHER - THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS ADDRESSED THE SHORTCOMINGS OF THE ORIGINAL 400 IN A THOUGHTFUL WAY DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE BEAUTIFULLY!
