I'd like to have a lamborghini Murcielago or an Aston Martin DB9 sitting in my garage before I considered a Ferrari.

That being said, if you can afford any of them, chances are you can afford all 3 of them :)

Ah if only we could get paid for wise quotes haha :P

Cheers bro!

could've been worse. a big set of chrome dinnerplates would've made it look real bad. i don't know why people put big, almost solid chrome wheels on their car. doesn't help brake ventilation, and adds a bucket load of weight onto the car.

and i'm not a big fan of huge wheels with very little sidewalls. the roads wher i live are pretty crap, and i've been in a skyline on 18's and that was bad enough. 20" wheels with no sidewall give would rattle your teeth out, and probably not be round for too long round here. first pot hole you have to get a new rim.

put HRE or iForged, it will look tough as...anyway if i can afford a ferrari i dont mind losing 20 -30 grand if i want to make it looks better or different. i've seen hamann ferrari..geez that thing is awsome!!

looks alright i reckon, fark id drive it with the 22s on the street then the stockys on the track...

would be racing with those rims! even though the car is totally engineered a simple mod like that makes it stand out from the crowd

FFS it is only a set of rims. If you have the money why not? You can change em back if you want.

LOL @ the 'made it' comment as if you only buy a Ferrari for a penis extension not cause might actually like them. Smacks of jealousy. People I know (family members etc) who have Ferraris have certainly made it, and buy whatever the f**k they want, their penis is would already be extended because they can afford the surgery if they want that!! Ferraris, $1m boats, multi million dollar houses. Whatever. It is a different lifestyle and only people who don't understand it make comments like that. :laughing-smiley-014:

ETA: Read the Ferrari forums with people modifying F40s etc. Same thinking as us modifying Skylines, they just have a bit more cash. :ninja:

Well he just decreased the value of that car buy 20 or 30 thousand.

Considering the cost of the vehicle itself and then the wheels also. Do you think that sort of money would really phase the owner. I sure as hell dont.

That is still like 8% of the car, it would phase the owner in my opinion. But it's only rims, which can be changed back to standard if wanted/needed. But I seriously doubt it would have such an effect on resale on the whole to be honest.

i saw a red f430 in the metal in doncaster, and damn was it an absolute work of art.

BTW, i understand people disagreeing with the rims, but i don't understand bagging high priced euro exotics and their owners. whats up with that?

yeah man putting mags on a ferrari is the stupidest thing ever it's the biggest wank factor thing ever, hopefully it's not your car cause u just lost like 20-30 grand easy on that stupid lil move there. as they say you pay the money for a complete package why ruin it, especially with a dodgy designed wheel

Changing to aftermarket wheels does not affect the resale value of the Ferrari or any other exotics. Ferrari owners in Europe and America spend big bucks to get properly forged or magnisium 20inch + wheels, Tubi exhaust, DMS ECU flash from serious big budget aftermarket tunners, not your backyard jetspeed or Tempe! Thats how their modify their cars and yes, they do modify them!

Any red blooded man modifys his car no matter if its a Honda Civic or Lamborgini Mucielagol. Its about individuality, making your Ferrari look, sound and drive different from everyother Ferraris on the road (exotic cars are surprisingly quite common in rich parts of the world). Same concept as us Skyline owners just different pocket size, unfortunately :P

Have to agree with you here man. The Hamann F430 is awesome.

If I had the money, I'd do this for sure! :)

Want more pics? I got plenty :P

ferari = 400k

r34 gtr with shitloads of mods = 150k

r34 would blow it out of the water then and still have money left over for a nice house lol

if u can afford aferrari then i dont think u would be worrying about a house mate

most ferrari owners probably own 3 or 4 houses me reckons

a ferrari is a status thing a gtr is not. not even a z tune

your comparing apples to oranges mate

ferrari v gtr

obviously the gtr is faster but it doesny compare to the italian land mark. i dont think a ferrari owner would really care if a gtr could beat him because even though a every third person on the street would look at your r34 gtr and say oooohhh thats nice. every single person on the street would look at your ferrari and say f**k me thats nice wish i had one

and the wheels r gay. leave the stockies

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
