Tony Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 So he replaced the fronts now or just bought them for when they need doing? Nope he bought them because they are so rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 target positions are all fairly unremarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 target positions are all fairly unremarkable. Neutral, but look at the tolerances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Bet they'd be even tighter if it wasn't 20-ish years old eh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Bet they'd be even tighter if it wasn't 20-ish years old eh ? I had one Ferrari with a total toe setting of 9'..... and no tolerance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 So he replaced the fronts now or just bought them for when they need doing? Nope he bought them because they are so rare. What were they then and why so rare, the make or size? Tony's thought for the day..."not another one of those Ferrari's!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyR Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 That is pure automotive pornography. The F40 was my childhood dream car. I can't imagine seeing that sort of exotica on such a regular basis. Just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine seeing that sort of exotica on such a regular basis. Just fantastic. When you start seeing two, three, five in one day you do become immune to the beauty, although the F40 tends to remind you these are exotic cars and i'm very fortunate to have the owners use wim. I didn't know the F40 can electronically life the suspension in order to get over speed bumps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 now that you mention it I occasionaly see "non-cat, non-adjustable suspension" F40s advertised in supercar magazines so some do appear to adjustable suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All genuine F40's to my knowledge have adjustable chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gexx Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I left too soon^^^ Nice looking motor though, lairy paintwork Not that i would tell but he spent 9k I was impressed with the push button ignition but everything just seemed to blend well together....I would not of thrown 9K at a mini though! Nor me but it is mint and embarrasses many a muscle car on the road. Truth be told the car probably has closer to 15K spent on it. I've only spent 7K total on the conversion Here's some more photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 It's a nice motor mate, I was certainly impressed with the work you've done? How did the engine go in as it looked a tight fight, was much work needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
