I bought this Cheap Ferrari 360 that sat in a foreclosed house for the last 7 years; and while we were initially able to get it running, it only took a few minutes for it to break. Today we go through and find everything wrong with it, and if it was worth buying.

  1. How did you become so smart with the workings of ferrari ? These are very interesting videos to me as I have always done my own work . Just on generation 1 small block chevies . C1 and C2 corvettes . If I had the money I would have a Ferrari .

  2. Before i got a toyota fj cruiser i bought an AMC Gremlin. The reason i bought the gremlin because it was very simple. Even I could work on it. None of these super, hyper cars are problems. They aren’t driven enough. Labor and parts are very expensive. My porsche, 1962 356, used a lot of VW parts. I would
    Buy a new ignition switch for a VW for $3, same as a Porsche ignition switch was $35. Todays cars of different brands from the same manufacturer are the same. Fiat, owns Ferrari. There are Fiat parts in the Ferrari.

  3. Why not just remove the immobilizer?? Also have a question- if I have a mclaren and I want to an the stock ecu and another ecu with a different tune, if I switch ecu’s would I run into this problem?

  4. Those are Bosch motronic ECUs, also used on Alfa's from the 2000s, for example the Alfa 147 GTA has the same problem because the ECU is mounted on the exhaust side of the engine head and the heat kills them you can repair them by replacing the cap with conductive epoxy and remount them with some heat protective shielding.
    here's a nice guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh0-ppZhed0

  5. Sam: #1. Thank you for not inflicting your (poor) stand-up comedy routine on me, as some of your YT competitors do. #2. You asked early, "Why do I do this?" But you haven't answered that question. Factoring in all your labor at minimum wage, will you come out ahead, financially?
    Thanks.

  6. About the "voltage spike" frying the ferrari computer while jump starting it…
    A 2 dollar lightbulb connected in series for 30 seconds, before you try to jump it, would save these precious computer modules.
    When you jump-start them with a long dead battery its not the voltage spike that kills the computer, its the inrush current. Inside the electronic modules you have capacitors. If the cars battery is dead and all those capacitors inside are discharged, there is a significant instantaneous current flow the moment you apply the voltage from your jump pack, so you should first connect the jump pack with a resistor in series for 30 seconds or so to let those capacitors charge up. After you do that, then you can connect the the jump pack normally and continue as you are.

  7. If the car has been sitting for years without running those timing belts really should be replaced. Sitting in one place for a long time can lead them to take a set and cause failure.
    You also really can't inspect the timing belt to determine whether or not it's close to failure. I've seen very good looking timing belts fail due to age or mileage. I've also seen really bad looking timing belts going just fine

  8. Its like your favorite nightmare! Got this sweat deal man, now just rebuild the car the entire car, no big deal. Nice work, impressed with the knowledge on such a complicated vehicle.

  9. dude. those are worth about $350 US dollas . i think you should put them back into car once all dun. it will appeal to younger drivers and open the Market up more to sell this car. this much i no . if an old driver wants it. take it out if they dont want the doof doof doof . love your work guys.

  10. Samcrac id like to know how much this has cost to buy as is. to no where i should start at for my next car . not sure what car yet but one will stick out at me one day soon i have the cash. but not for a exotic car tho. . maybe after a few like u did to build up the funds. how do u no when you have not gone to far into it . how you no when to stop . where to stop.

  11. who cares. and no the computer bolted down would no way have anything to do with car starting or not, just content for youtube im guessing……… ffs i made the first part of this comment before the vid finished , my god these boys never worked on a car ever. scary stuff

  12. what ever happened to these luxury car companies selling us a reliable, decent, non-plastic product? Quality went down, value went up….. read that again. huh?

  13. These Ferrari 360 are an unending set of problems that are becoming more and more difficult to fix due to the lack of parts but maybe that’s thee attraction for Sam otherwise why bother

  14. bro can i have one of your cars im going through some srious financial woes, someone totaled my car and insurance is really being difficult even though i was hit while parked!!! i watch you all the time i would definitely be more than grateful….
