    Turning off an overheating engine is not always a good idea. You need the water pump to circulate water from the engine to the radiator again and again. While rolling, the air moving over the radiator will help. While sitting still, the fan will help.
    When you restarted it, the coolant year had been sitting in the engine getting hotter by the second got moved past the thermostat and showed all that heat.
    Please look it up.

      Agreed 110% lol I never understood their logic on this, & how it’s even legal is beyond me. If you purchase something, it’s yours. Plain & simple. It’s cut & dry. The brand shouldn’t be able to have a say about what you do with it after you purchase it, like if yu wanna set the damn car on fire for the hell of it, then that choice should be yours to make, & yours only! But hey, that’s just my opinion, & yu know what they say about opinions. 🤣😅
      Ferrari is the only brand/ automobile manufacturer that is notoriously known for sending out cease & desist letters, & 90% of the time, it’s due to color changes, & easily reversible “modifications”. The most “notorious” one was with “Deadmau5” when he wrapped his “458 spider” (I believe?) in that light blue wrap, & changed all the Ferrari emblems to that meme cat thing with the rainbow coming out of its a$$, & changed the actual “Ferrari” badge to say “Purrari” lmao it was even more blown out of proportion cause it was right around the same time he took it on “Gumball3000” from Miami to Ibiza. 😂 I personally thought it was creative & harmless, & honestly it brought a lot more eyes & attention to the car, & essentially it was free advertisement & publicity for Ferrari, but apparently they didn’t find it cute, or appealing lmao. & if I’m not mistaken, I think they actually went to court over it? Could be wrong, it was years ago, but it was a huge thing at the time. I’ll never understand their logic behind the whole “Cease & desist” nonsense. 🙄

      @ThatRascalMerlin Год назад +7

      That's not anywhere near as easy as you would have it sound. Nobody outside of dealerships works on Ferraris. And there's a reason for that. Ferrari does *not* sell parts outside of dealerships. This way, they keep it all in-house. And as he mentioned in the viddy, if you even _PAINT_ your Ferrari a non-Ferrari-spec-ed color, they will *SUE* you. No other brand in the world is so controlling.
      I know it sounds crazy, but they have won every suit they have ever brought against folks who "fiddle" with their cars by changing them. Ask Justin Bieber. The same goes for *SELLING* one too soon! Just ask Steve Wynn the Casino owner. They took his _dealership_ away for selling a personal car he had owned for less than a year! (You can't sell your Ferrari in the first year that you own it) This discourages folks from buying these rare machines and then selling them for a profit as their value usually only goes up. Even body kits for racing, etc. have to be pre-approved by Ferrari, or you will find yourself in court.
      As for the overheating, I suspect that he was having a thermostat issue, or running the car in lower gears (driver error) and keeping the revs too high. He said they just put a new water pump on it, so, they should have changed the thermostat ... but who knows? In a desert climate, you don't really need a thermostat, as it's meant to keep water that's too cold from getting to the engine. It could have been enough to restrict the flow in that hot climate, and caused the overheating. (Just a guess)

      A thermostat is designed so once the engine is at operating temp, it allows for coolant to circulate through the engine and out to the radiator cores allowing time for the radiators to convert that warm hot coolant to a more appropriate temp as it’s circulating back in the loop and into the engine, there’s no such thing as to keep the water/coolant “too cold” it’s either warm or way hot… which no engine want to re circulate hot water back into the engine. There could be an issue with a thermostat but even if the thermostat was working, possibly the radiator fans aren’t turning on to keep the radiator core cool… not trying to rant on but just saying and this goes for any car, using this common concept on cooling

    I'm 6.1 and have never had any issues driving my F40. Sure its not the best ever driving position but its an old car
    Also not sure what you have done to your brakes but never had that sort of issue - its what I get with the CCB brakes once you have over heated them
    Regarding the overheating - I've never driven my car in really hot weather so not had an issue
    But a few years ago when I did the Mille Miglia there were F40s driving all day in 100+
    I think you need an expert to look over the car and sort out a few issues
    Also if the car overheats you should park up but you should leave the car ticking over not switch it off
    BTW if you think the driving position is bad in the F40 try a Miura or Countach

    It's nice to see one being driven. I'd think there would be a way to fix all the stuff that bugs you. Machine a spacer for the steering wheel (or go to a removable hub) so it sits back farther. Make it a flat bottom if you want more leg room. Maybe the clutch pedal could be made differently to move it further from steering column. You sit at a slight angle as the drivers wheel is where your feet would want to be. You can't really do anything about that, but maybe you could move seat over 1" so it's off center 2.5" instead of 3.5". And I'm sure something could be done about overheating. A bigger or thicker radiator, better shrouds and fans, ceramic coat or wrap the exhaust and turbo housings. Also people fix brake squeal all the time. Lube the back of the pads and guide puns. Still my dream car.

    Altitude should have little to no effect on turbo charged power output.

    Be careful with that overheating car and I hope you have a fire extinguisher rated for car fires/or a fire suppression system installed on the car. My modified 426whp turbo 4cyl car used to overheat BADLY during track days during the summer and then one day it caught on fire as I was driving on street.. The car burned to the ground, everything plastic gone and even the metal itself started to melt and distort. the damage was so severe that I never really will find the cause but my theory is that repeated overheating melted or popped an oil line to the turbo or warped the head/block to the point that oil was able to escape and hit the hot manifold... but the exhaust did blow out and fire came out the rear/melted the rear bumper so it could have been a turbo compressor wheel broke off and somehow sent hot oil into the catalytic converter (i'm not even sure that's possible) but yeah something went wrong. The day that it happened the car was behaving normally but then I suddenly noticed reduced power and elevated coolant temperature, seconds later the fire started. A month or so prior to the fire I did a heavy track day and it was pretty much I could only do 3-4 hot laps before the engine coolant temperatures got too high (over 250f) and the car would give me a warning, my car was probably fucked from that moment on but I did not know because I had no CEL and did not tear it down after the track day to see how things were... but whatever shit happens, I had full coverage insurance and they took care of me. My car had an upgraded radiator and mods for better airflow, but I had a bigger turbo pushing 426whp vs the stock 270-280ish whp that this car came with and with abusive heavy track driving in summer ambient temps of almost 100 degrees I was generating heat well beyond what the car could ever handle. The car already would overheat on track stock and I added even more power along with my increasingly aggressive driving as I get better as a track driver. I probably warped my head/block on that track day... and from there it was just a disaster waiting to happen. Shit happens, fires do happen and when they happen it will happen FAST and you don't have long to put the fire out. I have replaced my car with something I plan to keep stock but if I do go with another track car build in the future the first thing I do would be to install an automated fire suppression system in the car. I used to think that "It would never happen to me" but it did. Luckily my car was not nearly as special an F40, but I would hate to see something happen to that beatiful car. So please look into that overheating and get a fire suppression system installed.

    The F40 is just a weekend car. Driving it daily was a chore. The clutch is very heavy, the steering angle is almost like a truck, the turbo lag is horrendous(have to always keep it on boost) and driving it slow in tropical weather is like being slowly cooked in an oven because the ac is virtually non-existent. Says all the reviewers in the 90s. The reviewers who liked it never bought it even though they can afford it. Like Jeremy Clarkson who bought then sold his 355 and never bought another ferrari. That's saying something about ferrari.

    There has to be something wrong with that car. I won’t pretend I’ve owned or driven one but through the years I’ve seen plenty driven, watched videos and read about them and never heard about issues like that. And it does get hot in Italy, for the record. I know you said you just serviced it but I have a hard time believing any serious workshop would let a car run hot every few minutes just because it’s hot outside. Also, don’t think it’s a good idea to turn the engine off instead of letting it idle to cool down as I imagine it does not circulate coolant or oil for the turbos when the engine is off.

    i really wonder: if after the water pump replacement, did the mechanic not get all the air out of the cooling system. the problem inherent with rear engine/front radiator cars is air gets trapped and creates a blockage to water flow. i would hazard a guess that the Ferrari engineers didn't overlook the size of the cooling system when they originally designed it, and i also don't think they would have required 100mph minimum speed to keep enough airflow over the radiators to keep them working. Italy does have it's hot spots (why the term Spaghetti western came to be), and even though I'm not a Ferrari fanboi I can't see them overlooking the cooling system.

    I tried to read through the comments to find this before posting but didn't so here goes. When a car is overheating, DON'T turn it off. Leave it running at least at idle, the second you have no water pump circulation, the temp will spike even more. Let it idle and coast down hill, and worst case, turn the heat to max, I know it sucks but it increases the amount of fluid circulating to the pump and the heater core is also just another water to air heat exchange so you get more cooling (at the expense of roasting in the cabin)

    I’ve probably seen an f40 before, but it was Just a few short years ago that I actually learned what it was. I dont think theres a car out there that i want more. I’ve always loved cars but never went out of my way to learn about any of them, so now that I’m actually doing it it gives me an awesome feeling of appreciation for a work of art like this

      You're at the beginning of the journey. Eventually you move on fro. Just liking cars, but you start getting into engines even ugly stupid cars will have you drooling when you learn about the mechanics.

    I would sell the F40 and get a LaFerrari first or 918 second but the F40 is a super cool car just seems like it's not the best to really drive.

    My dream car is a la Ferrari and I've heard it's pretty damn comfy for a hyper car so I'll gladly drive my dream car, I don't think I'll be disappointed

    You completely ignore the world's car my friend.... If you're trying to use a turbo engine, born to eat road, as a muscle car, please review something about the engines

    Pretty sure a turbo car does NOT need thick air to function, hence why all the fast Pikes Peak cars are turbocharged

    love the video.. i like how you actually talk about the car instead of just blah blah about the specs.... and history BS... and i understand the shoes for the car.. that has happened to me.. i would not like the offset steering and pedals at all
