Was pretty sure the enzo couldn't be road registered in QLD and possibly Australia. Could be wrong though.

Arh yes you speak the truth....

It could not be registered in standard format. Due to its pure performance design it did not comply with our laws due to exhaust pollution and noise. Also the car is made of complete carbon fibre except the body with is mostly fibre glass and composite materials. Major mods would have to be made to get it registered in QLD or Aus for that matter.

But with the money to buy one ($2 mill) then you can afford the 50 odd grand i assume it would cost to modify. Im sure you wont see a monster tacho in an enzo tho.

IM so pissed off... I see so many Skylines driving around, and i know they notice me. yet no one has posted saying they have seen me.... ;)

Seriously, has no one seen me driving around North Brissy?

Meh

Ive Seen you before :D

Where'd you get 120 from? 399 were made, then just this year Ferrari made one more to be auctioned off to aid the Tsunami victims.

Sorry.... They made 120 in the first batch (pre-ordered) I didnt read the whole thing.

The enzo i saw is not really an enzo. Its a kit car. You can buy one as a turn key package for around 120g's with a real ferrari motor. I had a customer today who builds cobra's and clubmans.... He was very helpful. He said he could build one if a wanted but it would be very expensive due to the cost of the plans. Plus you need the panels which are produced in the US and their worth half the price of the car.

So sorry... I was jaw dropped when i saw it and it sounded like a ferrari. So i assumed it was the real deal. He said there are a few kicking around and will become a common seen once the price on the kit comes down.

Oh ok, so it wasnt an enzo then :P

Ferrari asked people to buy them anyway, I think there were only 1 or 2 people here that were on 'the list'.

But if it doesnt have a 'race' button, then it aint an enzo!

I saw lots of skylines today, but I was in Sydney again, so I got NO idea of the street names.

Hmm that's odd. I thought Ferrari were always going to produce 349 of them but announced later another 50 due to popular demand. Anyway, the kit car thing sounds interesting. Especially since Ferrari went on a suing spree a few years back for kitcar manufacturers and practically wiped out a lot of them. In particular the 250 GTO replica kits based on the S30 shell... Anyway, I tried googling but found nothing. Do you have any links about this Enzo kit car? Do you know what Ferrari engine it uses?

I dont know where to start looking. Maby call a kit car builder and ask them about it. Yes it was always planned to build an odd number of cars. Then the extra one disrupted they nirvana of the car. Some still say on the ferrari owners club it should have never been done.

But quite frankly i dont care.... 399-400 whats the difference.

Just means more chance of seeing one driving down the road.

As for the motor. Like any kit car you could adapt it to any engine. Ie. If you were on a budget then you may use a LS1 engine or something. Like once i wired a clubman kit car with an sr20det engine. Instead of the usuall 4age toyote motor generally used.

Let alone anyone on here!!!!

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
