    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.

    I have no intentions of ever owning an old Ferrari, but I love watching Samcrac work on them.

    I am new to your site. Really enjoy your time that you explain what’s going on with these cars

    Great video Sam love the troubleshooting and detailed explanations 👍🏻 way more interesting than your typical ferrari RUclips video or car video for that matter

    At this point I'd just be in the business of making adapter harnesses to run an aftermarket ECU hahaha.

    Sam, the gel in the engine computer is not meant to be tamper resistant. It's to keep out air and moisture, while being a heat conducting dielectric. The alternatives is to make the box 100% hermetically sealed but this is tricky, especially in an application like a car. Potting it 100% shut is also an option, but hard to do in applications where there is big thermal shocks.

    Gotta say I’m loving the channel’s direction. These projects are interesting and challenging enough that as a viewer, I don’t need pranks or internet celebrity cameos or anything else. Keep them coming!

    These videos are interesting and definitely confirm my thought that the electronics in new cars make them disposable garbage after a certain amount of time. It’s really sad

    Personally, I'd be inclined to just retrofit in a nice new Haltech ecu and throw the factory units in the bin (or put them on ebay). Surely that's a cost effective way to resolve the factory ecu reliability issue

    You're brave to leave the car unattended after paying for it , anything could have been swapped out ! Always take it straight away.

    I've repaired a handful of these 360 ecus. This hardware is also used on Alfa Romeos of a similar vintage. In most cases the issue is failed joints on the ceramic substrate. The components are bonded in position, not soldered. They are difficult to repair but it can be done.

    You'd have to be some kind of masochist to want to own, let alone own 2 broken Ferrari's. Best of luck, Sam

    I'm excited to see where this new 360 goes! Amazing that you could potentially get the engine fixed for a couple hours of work and a capacitor or two! Good luck!
