Reply to "What's OK to Modify on Mangusta"

Wow that was a lot of help from everybody. I want to keep the Mangusta stock looking but running better thus the Holley double pumper. I have replace the after market air intake with the original one with the intake tubes from Roland Jaeckel from Germany. I have installed period correct bullet chrome side mirrors on the car. It think it would be dangerous to drive without side mirrors. This is afterall 2009 and not 1970. New leather has been added as well as retractable seatbelts. AC compressor has been upgraded to a rotary compressor as well as a larger condensor place in the stock position with new hoses all throughout. My only real visible nonstock item is the 18 inch wheels with modern rubber to hopefully reduce the tendency to violently oversteer at the limit of adhesion. I'll keep the stock rims but to really appreciate driving the car on modern roads I think upgrading the rubber is needed. I couldn't figure out what yellow was the orginal so I am going to paint the car the same yellow as my 08 Corvette Z06 which is a clean bright yellow without metallics in it. I had to change the ignition switch to a NAPA part cus the old one shorted out and fried some wires. The car has Hall pantera headers and exhaust. I have no idea where the original exhaust is. Other than that the rest is original. Ben
