I assume you don't know anyone in Italy ?

Marranello, I think would be pretty hard too get too. Its a basically a very small town based around a race track and the Ferrari Factory and Shops, Museum.

There would have too be transport from Milan or Veronia. Very much worth it.

It is seriously in the middle of no where. One main street. Try and get there around midday, or knock off time, its worth too see all the mechanics in their unforms going home.

If your lucky you might see something running around the track.

When I was in italy I went to Maranello and went to the Museum.

Its pretty cool and all the cars there are not donated by Ferarri, but bought by the museum itself.

It has heaps of new and old cars, heaps of the F1 engines and also heaps of cut aways.

Its pretty cool and worth the while if you are in the area, but i wouldnt make a special trip.

I am not sure if you can go to the "factory" itself. As for getting there, we were in a car so we drove so i cant give any directions or anything, sorry bud.

You can get buses that will connect to maranello from bologna, verona or even Milan or Venice. You will have to connect with more than one bus so take special notes of the bus times especially when returning at night to often over there I got caught out because the last bus left a particualr station at 10.30pm and my bus arrived there at 10.45 and this was the last bus of the night!!! Do you speak Italian? If not try to get it all organised days in advance as just rocking up the day to the station etc could make it really hard for you.

The ferrari museum is ok, just near here is also the Lambo factory which is really cool, and also in the area is maseratti and the ducatii factory

You won't be able to get a tour of the actual factory.

Bus transport from Modena is fairly easy if you are polite with the people at the information desks :(

The museum, shops etc. are worth the visit if you are a bonafied Ferrari freak. The atmosphere is awesome... but to be honest with you I think visiting the Alfa Romeo museum would be a better payoff. Unless, of course, you have time to visit them all!!!

Thanks guys for the replies :)

I've sort of figured out the 2 buses to get to maranello....

title was a bit misleading - you have to have a fezza to actually get a tour of the factory - i don't think a GTR will cut it, unfortunately.

Will still check out the museum on the way through to venice from rome!

cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
