Taking stretch too far

QUOTE:

"This is, believe it or not, the world's first-ever Ferrari stretch limo: a

23-foot 360 Modena with eight seats and the biggest electric gullwing

doors we've ever seen.

It's the handiwork of Style Limousines in Manchester, which spent more

than £200,000 modifying the rear-engined 360.

All eight of the seats are carbon-fibre buckets with five-point race

harnesses - which might sound excessive until you discover that the

3.6-litre V8 remains, its 395bhp propelling the mega-Ferrari to 60mph in

under six seconds. Could prove a challenge not to spill your cheap

champagne.

Those gullwing doors are nine-foot long and were designed by one of the

teams responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren.

If you really, really feel the need to see the stretch Ferrari in the

flesh, it'll be debuting at the European Limousine & Chauffeur show this

weekend alongside Europe's biggest stretch Hummer."

how the hell do you spend 200,000 pounds sterling modifying it?

quite easily i reckon if all the seats were bucket seats with harnesses, the hour of labour would be massive, then they prob used carbon fibre or some kind of high strenght light wieght material which would cost a fortune....list goes on, it would add up!

i reckon it looks awesome, would be funny to see it do a hotlap of a race track....just don't try and cruise around monaco in it! :P

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
