Tony Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 This Ferrari F430 Has just completed a £300.000 overhaul, little things like two Scuderia superchargers an F1 gearbox, 20k's worth of ceramic brakes, a full custom carbon fiber conversion, custom exhaust, custom suspension and interior...... and loads of other stuff. To put things into perspective the two Scuderia chargers use 80bhp "each" to run and this car still has 807bhp at the wheel and this is probably why the rear 305/30-19 Michelin cup tyres lasted....... wait for it......... A week and 1040 miles!!! Please feel free to dribble....> Next week when we fit the tyres i will also calibrate the chassis so there's more images to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 im dribbling that looks fantastic in that colour, makes a change from red ! for one minute i thought you had written £300,000 seems strange to be a left hander, unless the owner spends time on the continent very nice, will it still be there tomorrow ?

Tony Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 The owner owns one or two race teams, not sure which, i think their related to Ferrari? and yes that was £300.000 on extras. There's loads of mechanical stuff, all F1 works material maybe that's where the carbon engine kit comes from? Apparently after the Scuderia chargers where fitted there was some track testing/ mapping hence the need for two new rear tyres, but the owner was unsure hence the reason we had the car in today just to confirm it needs tyres after one week. It does and he never even asked how much.... i don't suppose the £300 each will make a dent after the £300.000 already spent. And no..... it won't be there tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Jesus £300k on extras! What's the car insured for I wonder? When you working on it next week, I'm there! I think a photo outside the centre with the WIM logo in the shot would be great for adverts etc. If the owner agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwozza Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lost for words and covered in druel, fair play for a (albeit loaded) Ferrari owner to want some serious go faster upgrades. I'm quite liking the back end too, jammy git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Has this car ever been on The Garage on Discovery channel? I was watching an episode the other day and noticed the number plate in the opening credits. Unlikely because his mods are done by Ferrari or SP Racing but saying that he has many cars and they all have the same letters on the plate.
