FIRST DRIVE! DIY Gated Manual Conversion On My Cheap Ferrari 360 pt 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- We have been waiting for this since I bought this Ferrari 360 Modena back in March! After getting the manual swap completed and the video out the next day, I couldn't leave you guys hanging with those terrible nighttime clips at the end. So I wrangled a crew and took the car up to some of my favorite roads in SoCal to give you some gated manual goodness!
@pennzoil 5w40 Euro Platinum Synthetic has been keeping all of my cars running great. The 360 has an 8,500 rpm rev limited and I want to do my best to protect this engine so I trust in my Pennzoil. #longmaywedrive #pennzoilpartner

COOL STUFF EVENTUALLY- / thedrivers.era
Pro tip: to not slosh your oil when you pour, make sure the spout is at the top, and the curved portion is at the bottom, it allows air in and doesn't slosh and spill. Then as you pour just turn the bottle.
Yep that's how they're supposed to be used.
But sometimes in close spaces it's even harder to aim because you have to hold it higher
That was the "ad" portion of the video, so needed to show the label. But you are correct about proper pouring technique.
Doh, I missed your post and posted nearly the exact same thing.
They used to emboss an image of how to hold the bottle on the neck of it even.
Was half way through writing this same comment, but then thought someone, maybe someone else wrote it. Have a like
Scrolled down and was happy to see this comment! Learning this was life-changing for me.
id just like to point out that you dropped this at the same time as a dde main channel vlog, and i decided to watch this first. ballast bois for life.
Edit since the replies are pretty shit:
I meant nothing against dde. I watch their videos daily, and I am a fan. I was just sharing a compliment towards vin.
Wish I’d watched this first. Won’t make that mistake again. Thursday 6am is for Vin
Vins was a better video too. More car videos, less driving.
And, no political clown shows walking around.
that should've been their racing team's name
DDE are so brain dead atm
"It's like a Honda" my favorite analogies are accurate yet unhinged, but it's naturally aspirated, high revving, manual, bad noise/speed ratio, looks good just lowered with wheels, really good analogy hahahaha
I totally see the comparison. In profile, I kept mistaking this car for a CRX and the way it sounds and is geared is highly reminiscent of a k20a with ITBs. Makes sense as the Ferrari engine is basically a V8 K series.
The way he has this car now is like a V8 K series rear wheel drive CRX with a bunch of high-end top shelf swap parts. That amazingly designed billet shifting mechanism even sort of looks like one of the more baller K swap shift boxes
@@QuigzDrifts if you ignore the exhaust sound, the engine literally sounds like 2 K20As revving together too! the exhaust collector just merges both bank's frequency so each wave fits between each other so it doubles the frequency and it sings higher.
Damn you Vin!!!!! I never really thought of owning a Ferrari!!! But after watching this and following this build, my youngest son isn’t going to college!!! Awesome!!
Hahaha I learned nothing in college. Just saying.
@@vin_tra LOL. I’m giving all 3 boys that option. I went and ended up in the trades and love what I do but definitely would love wrenching on cars more!! I enjoy watching and following your content brother!! Thanks!!
@@vin_tracan vouch. I’m dumber than when I went in 👌🏽
College is overrated anyway! Tell him to find a trade in something he loves. He'll thank you later!
@@MrIrieviking I know right - I have no kids for this reason haha - I think an F430 F1 swapped to gated would be a cool manageable build to add to the fleet - we have plenty of pure speed - this NA higheevving piece of art is a different itch to scratch altogether - Ed bolians Scud was recently locally FS for 190 i was immedately trying to rearrange my life to make it happen 😂 I mean not really but def thought long and hard for several hours over several days - one of these days….
"Speed Could never replace the feeling of high rpm."
Truer words are rarely spoken about the hobby. A K-code 289 in a Shelby Cobra or GT350; Boss 302 or a Z28. The eighties Lotus Espirit turbo, road cars with manual transmissions and an eight grand plus decline are almost a universal favorite with any car enthusiast. Vin is proud to sing the songs of our people. Thanky, Vin.
What I love most about this channel is no clickbait titles. You read the title you know what you're getting.
You read titles before you watch vin's videos? I don't even know what the title of this one is lol... I see vin, 360, & I've already clicked it Idk what the rest said... Titles shouldn't be that imoprtant... or triggering..
Something people don’t remember. The stock transmission in cars years ago was always a manual transmission. It was always an upgrade to get an automatic transmission.
So of course, Ferrari wanting to be premium, spent all that money to make that F1 automatic gearbox
I completely agree with you. An actual manual shifting car is so much better for a real driver.
No, Ferrari spent all that money to create a gearbox to win races post turbo era in F1. Then it was eventually homologated to road cars as a bit of marketing and also a bit of adding current racing tech into their road cars.
Up until 1988, all Formula 1 cars had manual transmission as well as a clutch pedal in the car. Electro-hydraulic valves were used in the aircraft industry at the time. Ferrari saw potential and came up with a similar system that would allow a much smoother gear change while taking away the need for a third pedal or gear shift…..
Ferrari began to develop the Formula One-style gearbox in 1994, calling it Selespeed. Selespeed is an electro-hydraulic gear and clutch command, and is derived from the system now used by every Formula One team.
totally different time , back then they spent money to develop this gear box for F1 car , in F1 world , if the new tech working ,other team quickly follow Ferrari ,so they mainly develop for F1 car , not for the road car , just simply make it work on road car , pedal shift automatic gear box absolutely racing car stuffs back then , of course "F1 gear box" absolutely good for marketing too.
Yeah even my 2004 Volvo S60R came standard with a 6-speed manual. You had to option the 5-speed auto.
The stock transmission being manual is also why they're known as "standard" transmissions
14:42 Ah, the unmistakable sound of the disappointed peacock squawking at Vin as he attempts to add Pennzoil without causing a spill.
I've owned a 1983 Ferrari 308 since the late 90's and I have to regularly explain to other people why I love it so much. The gated manual is the greatest thing you can experience if you think you're a 'driver'. My car isn't even close in speed to your average modern Ford Focus but the noise it makes and the gear changes mean I'll never let it go. I think you'll have the same problem now your 360 is a manual. I've had Porsches that have come and gone but the Ferrari remains.
I’ll forever think, “you’re just milking a cow.” 🤣
“I don’t care about a rock.”
“Driver cars are the way.”
This is 100% spot on. I can respect people who keep a low mile car clean and preserved - those have their place. I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum. I built my 2000 LS1/T56 Firebird Formula with the intention of putting as many miles on it as possible.
Thanks for this video, Vin! Love seeing you enjoying the 360 more and more with every mod.
Spot on I want a 4th gen firebird so badly as a daily when I finally build my civic
@@thekernel69 ignore the cheap plastic interior pieces that are cracked in 95% of them and a quarter of the engine being hidden by the cowl and they’re an incredible car for sure. Best of luck on your search!
Same here, 200k mile '01 S2000 full of rock chips lol. Daily driven for over 10 years now. My forever car.
So many t-shirt ideas right there
Lmao that was too funny... the front end feels light....
To be fair, Ferrari was the first company to bring a paddle shifted manual to the consumer market. This technology was a direct result of the R&D of their F1 team. That was the allure to the customers at the time, to have an F1 style experience when shifting gears. The paddle shifted manual made its debut in the last years of the 355. The gated manual was available each year, making the F1 cars more rare. They gained in popularity in the 360 and was the only transmission option for the Enzo.
I don’t believe that at all. I bet it was made for convenience and marketed as f1…
You said it!
Nope. It was SAAB. Google Saab Sensonic, 1993. Even before that there was automated manuals, even trough 1950's.
@@Gadne92.5 I said paddle shifted manual, like in F1. The Saab is lever actuated. Not column mounted paddles like F1.
@@vin_tra the 1989 Ferrari 640 F1 car was the 1st car to feature paddle shifters in F1, and that system was the basis for the one that was put in the 355 in 1997
Seeing all your favorite youtubers making solo channels is such a W with all the sick content.
Its not that Ferrari thought people didn't want to drive manuals. It was actually Ferrari owners that asked for the paddle shifters. Because F1 cars had paddle shifters, so of course they had to have them as well. Ferrari wouldn't have done it otherwise. But you gotta admit paddles are at least better then an automatic.
I can tell you felt hella blessed with life at 5:30…I know the feeling bruv 😎🤙
Vin!
Spin the oil bottle 180 around in your hand and pour and you’ll have more success.
It won’t be as eventful though.
Hey Vin, little tip to prevent or at least heavily reduce the slushing when filling up oil: Hold the bottle sideways and not like you did here with the opening at the bottom.
The slushing happens because of air not being able to flow freely into the bottle as it gets emptier, because with the opening at the deepest point all the oil is above it and blocks the air.
Bro… You gotta turn the oil jug the other way with the spout on top 😊… then it doesn’t blub blub blub cause it allows air in and you can get the spout closer to the fill hole 😊❤😂
Oh, and the Ferrari is kicking ass… Dye job came out awesome!!! Looking forward to turbos 😆
Loving this build series so far! I've always loved gated shifters.
I always liked the F430 more than the F360, but seeing how good you made this one look, with tasteful bolt on mods (and some leather dye), is making me reassess my personal taste. I don't even mind the Camry paint color as much now.
The monologue starting around 2:10 feels like a perfect set up to Drivers Era. Without knowing what to expect it leaves me in anticipation to learn more. Love the content!
I love that you guys stopped at the Old Place. I'm there nearly every weekend. There's usually several dope cars parked out front. It's a really nice place to sit and have a beer in the sun and watch the cars go by.
Bad ass upgrade. 90% people don't know how to drive a stick harder to steal one lol.
As someone from New Zealand I can confirm that no ones wears shoes, including myself
The chaotic bird call at the same time as spilling the oil at 14:42 made it so much better 😂
5:39 that sound and emotion .
No other EV can replace that everrr
15:03 Vin, flip the oil bottle the other way and it doesn't come out in gulps 😅 rotate it 90 degrees to left, very important to the left, 😂😂❤
gotta say the interior dyeing came out VERY good
“Speed can never replace high rpm” AMEN! I remember my JDM b18c in a gutted EG hatch. It was decently quick but man that thing revved to 9500 and the sounds and no lift shifting can’t compare to my GTR…
I want to build a 10k rpm civic so bad
@@vin_tra we need this!!!!
I got an 05 mustang gt with a 5 speed … it’s fun af you don’t even need to drive fast to have fun just the feeling of being engaged and feeling as tho your one with the machine
Man since I was about 10. Saw a Modena in a garage and has been my dream car ever since!!! So jealous!!!
I love my manual M2, but when I buy a 360 I actually want the F1 gearbox. For me as a Formula 1 fan it’s so cool to see that technology trickle down to road cars, and at the time the 355/360. Because of it’s ties to F1, I genuinely want the F1 paddle shift box. But that 360 is looking and sounding nice!!
I enjoy the non click bait, you are a real dude showing us some great cars while keeping it humble. Thanks for the content I know it’s difficult to make at times.
It’s wild to see the crossover with you and DDE. Keep up the amazing work sir!
Art and his team really knock this shift kit out of the Park it's a very nice setup
I converted my 04 CLK500 to manual and oh man the driver engagement with that solid benz V8 is lively experiance never gets old. just need a better adjustable shock package now
This might be my favorite build on RUclips.. so clean
First time seeing anything on your Ferrari. After years of following you I must say. You’ve got impeccable taste in cars Vin.
It sounds sooo good. Also love the “it makes more noise than it is fast” every car I’ve owned. Lol they handle well but they’re not fast
I saw a 360 on the streets today here in Virginia Beach. Couldn't help but think of Vin so here I am a little late but watching this weeks video!
The way you describe this car is very similar to how I explain my e90 m3 to people. Obviously I’m not saying my car is the same as a Ferrari, but the experience you get from revving a 4.0 V8 to 8400+ makes you not care at all that the torque is lackluster at best. It’s visceral. The experience is unmatched by modern cars. Another great video.
E9x is the greatest m3 for driving
I'm glad someone said it -- came to mind for me right away. This is a great video and the converted F360 is chef's kiss -- but the S65 engine in the M3 is a different animal (and obviously from several years ahead in the future) ... there's a reason why the S65/S85 won so many engineering awards. Yes, they were in 3/5 series BMWs, but they would've been just at home in an exotic marque like Ferrari. So a great comparison indeed :)
ohh boy.. The essence of a true gearhead is encapsulated in that 5-minute speech! No years, no 0-60 times, no model names-just the pure enjoyment of what conveys to us the passion of driving and seeing that car we've admired since childhood.
And with that Magnum PI stash.. Totally fits in a Ferrari..
Well played Vin, there was no disappointment whatsoever after seeing this video. That is a proper Ferrari now, and you have righted the factory's wrongs. I do find it really great that any 2 pedal 360 can be converted into a 3 pedal 360!
That silver bullet looks amazing. A lip if there even is one would look amazing on it with a chassis mounted wing.
the effort for all the shots is so dank.
I'm not into this car (mad respect tho) but I can't stop coming back to this channel for the high quality production.
Props Vin.
I love this 360 and what you’ve done with it. Makes me want it buy one.
Sounds soooooooo damn good,,, that's exactly what it needed that gated shift....
*Sure, manuals are a pain in traffic, but at the end of the day, we still love them.*
I had a 928S back in the mid to late 90's. I understand exactly what you say about certain cars have a special feel. To me, that 928S was always an experience everytime I took it out.
I love this Video Series ❤ But After it i think another good and „old“ alternative would be the old Audi R8 with the manual V8 (maybe v10). Little rebuild, new suspension, new exhaust, intake and more … and there is a superchargerkit by vf availible 😂
Turn your bottle over so the spout is at the top. It won't have that "glug glug." Love the gated!!!
NZ has shoes, the official shoe is the Jandal. Old mate was demonstrating the correct decorum perfectly. One would not want to get one's Jandals dirty by wearing them in a Ferrari.
This a great build just some suggestions to make it that much better is getting morimoto led taillights a front splitter and a duckbill spoiler
Love a passion car. Something that is just fun to drive. Loud exhaust and some mods that are just for fun
Video was worth the wait and a great way to cap this part of the Ferrari build off. Can’t wait to see what’s next!!
this car has been put together perfectly. the gated swap is the greatest mod you could have done. driving that car in the canyons must be pure joy. best bang for the buck exotic build on youtube. hands down my favorite one.
This little endeavor into manual swapping the car resonates with me, after my engine swap the clutch/shifter setup has been my biggest issue. Getting a smooth feeling shift is such an important part of a car build and it really isn't focused on enough.
More channels need to do this. Take your damn cars out and have fun! I see other channels leaving their cars in the shop collecting dust. I want to see them driven. Hear them being driven. People enjoying the cars they built on their channels.
I'm definitely gonna ad "milkin' a cow" into my vocabulary 😂👌🏼
14:41 pour the bottle on the side it comes out smoother lol
This is true.
Something about a good manual makes even a drive to the shops so much more rewarding.
Certainly doubled the fun in my book!
MILKING A COW OML
You have so many clips of this car screaming since you bought it and hasnt got old...even through a screen. Cant imagine what it must be like actually driving it
“It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow.” Seems fitting for the 360, the experience is about the engagement and the sensory goodness, not outright speed.
Also, so glad to hear you’re keeping the 997 RS. Content with that car would be rad, too!
Fun fact the 1 quart oil bottles like that generally pour better if you have the spout at the top when you pour vs at the bottom.
Hey Vin if you flip the bottle upside-down you get a much better pour 14:36 love the car
Dem gears, tho! For real though, that Ferrari is really coming together. I can't wait to see it in a year. One thing though, you gotta hold on to that iconic Vin Gold color. It's Vin Gold now, whatever Italian name it had before is gone, it belongs to you.
Solid video! I subbed after the last one but post notifications just went on 🔥🔥
My man, the swap was/is the way to go. You can't beat a proper manual for driving engagement. Not on the same par, but I manual swapped my Toyota Soarer with the 1J, removed the auto and added a Supra Getrag V160. Totally different car now!
Your swap is honestly better than this Ferrari swap
@@Jollytsunami Ha, you're too kind. The V160 is an awesome gearbox, close ratios so acceleration is very snappy. My only issue is that spares such as synchros are hard, if not impossible to find. I was lucky too, I did my conversion before prices became stratospheric.
14:40 tip the can of oil sideways. Nearly eliminates all splashing
Ah man I agree. The sound alone is so incredible and to now be in complete control with the manual has to feel great.
Im really diggin this style. I think this is my new favorite chanel... you and Big Time 🤙
you are 100% with what you said.....I just purchased a 1992 VW Corrado. although its a project and not very fast. the high RPM's/ sounds and the way it handles are awesome!
Spin the oil quart 180 and pour with the spout at the top. It feels like it is wrong, but it's supposed to be poured that way and it won't glug like it did!!
I really love your channel and what you are doing with all the content creating! You are killing it and I'm always exited when you post somthing new each week!! Love the car and the mods you have done so far also. Sounds so good!!
For the dipstick, O'Reilly has some heat resistant gloves at the front counter.
i do like the look and idea of the gated manual. I drove a friend's 360 with the F1 gearbox...and it was pretty strange....it felt like a manual that you were using by remote control...I the the PDK in the 911 is much smoother.
Great job Vin! This car now looks and works as good as it sounds!
The 360 is coming along and it's pretty sick. Gated manual makes that car, such a shame to cover up that schweet billet shifter though.
Love the content! Keep it coming!
2:32 well said!!! I have the same feeling about modern manual transmissions to the point in some cases I catch myself thinking why not get the automatic already, because the manual feels boring and not engaging anymore.
If you give the quart of oil a 180 when you're pouring it won't slosh around. You won't spill a drop. 👍
Did not expect to see Vin on Big time in the 360. You n Jerry get on really well. Oh and that "Helped Jerry leave Donut" part lmao
So happy they left that in
@@vin_tra I couldn't breathe for laughing. Hahaha
Ferrari been making automatic since 1976, so in 1994 the ones who got the manual option Ferraris were the ones going through hell 😂
This is one of the best looking Ferrari's they made. Absolutely love the way it looks, and it sounds amazing!
4:05 Preach brother! This is exactly how I feel about driving!
Tip for pouring oil turn the bottle around so the spout is at the top😉
You’re going to make these cars value go up up! I’ve been wanting one of these to rip around in and I love to see you doing all this to one of them.
Thank you for bringing us along, I love it
Hey Vin, next time you go to fill your oil, try pouring the bottle sideways (From back label to Front label) instead of the way you were doing; where it was pulsing out of the bottle. Another car guy showed this to me while I was adding coolant. It WORKS MUCH BETTER
and honestly vin, you're not wrong about the honda thing lol i still remember my 1991 honda accord ex. not much power at all, but it was alotta fun to drive!
Bro, I manual-swapped a rusty 2003 jetta wagon diesel years ago lmfao, it wasnt about being faster; it was about enjoying the driving experience more.
In hindsight, that car wasn't worth the cost/effort, but I'd still do it over and over again because even a crap vw manual is still better than any auto as far as engagement goes. It makes my heart happy seeing this thing ripping with a proper gated manual. I'm so glad you swapped it! Loving the content lately 👌
This is the spirit
I miss my 92 gsx but I sold it (with a blown motor 3 times just lost to rx7s) so fun!
Better and better. You have a talent that so few of the other RUclips creators have. Your videos are always fun and I look forward to the next one.
The 360 and the 430 are my all time fav Ferraris.
bro i share that same sentiment. we want to feel the drive. there is something i miss about kicking the hell out my clutch on the jackie robinson parkway in a car making 106 hp. it was a damn blast.
Loving the content bro and the car build/mod is awesome. Big shoutout from uk 🇬🇧 keep up the good work ❤
The car came out awesome. I honestly prefer the current body colour over the screaming red or yellow.
This is one of my favorite builds! Great looking and sounding car and I love what you did with it! The hounds tooth with the black interior is perfect.
Vinny,pure oil with the spout at the top,flip the bottle,then it doesn't blurp blurp....air gets straight in so it pours evenly 👍🏽
Honestly mate, the best channel on YT at the moment. The story, the b-roll, scene setting, balance of piece to camera and vlog and let’s just get sht done is awesome… and then there’s the actual content, content that’s again balanced and palatable. I really don’t care about Supercars but the cars you have are the Supercars for car enthusiasts, while i type this you’re even talking about drivers cars, not the power figures n sht mannnn such an amazing channel, amazing story teller and tastefull af edits. Thank you vin, sickest.
Thank you!!!
You and Zac are killing it! Proud of you both. I absolutely love the 360, All of it.
This is what it's all about. Just driving your cars with the boys and enjoying life.
