I think to be allowed to own a ferrari you should have to have a cams license, and be forced to enter it into at least one motokhana, trackday, or targa, etc, etc a year.

Such a waste on wankers like the owner of this car.

there are the typical invitations etc for the ENZO......but i think your on to something, however, maybe it should be extended to all cars above a certain power/weight ratio or just power, because more and more people are wrapping themselves around tree's and having accidents. the more experience you have the better

you must be thinking about maserati which offer invitations to own their cars. enzos are available to whoever has the money, although there is a waiting list as the cars go thru alot of production time. I went to maranello and witnessed the factory, a truly amazing sight.

ohh i ws just getting at, that instead of the car sitting in a garage for 17 years doing just over 1000 km. It should be driven hard and fast like it was designed to be. Not sitting in some faggots garage, so he can tell people at cocktail parties that he was a f40 sitting in his garage at home.

agreed! my boss had a maserati, the most he did with it was accelerate hard out of the lights up to the speed limit, (so a 5sec burst :huh:) no track days, car clubs, almost pretended like it was nothing cause he could.

He's got a lexus executive type car now so i can rest my case....mind you in saying it all....a very nice car in a garage is still good to look at...

I'd get a 911 6 speed manual carrera s.

A nice house to live in, and buy another house as an investment property.

But i think even if i could afford a 800 thousand dollar car, that i wouldn't buy one.

I'd be happy with just a nice audi or something, around the 100 - 200 thousand mark.

With the amount of money i earn i doubt i'll ever afford a car over 40 thousand or so, but i'm quite happy with my motorcycle that shames 800 thousand dollar cars.

Funny I've got a picture of one on my desktop at the moment. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the F40 (Ferrari's were my childhood fave) as well at the Testarossa.

F40 is a fantastic car, built for no compromise speed & NOT comfort, would be an awsome machine to drive. Was reacently rated in europe as one of the top 10 supercars of all time, along with the R34 GT-R......

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
