Whats wrong, got no answer have we, just going onto the normal internet troll of attack the person not the arguement?
And not once on here have I claimed to have anything to do with an F1 team bar in passing situations, do you have problems reading too?

What, exactly, would you assume would need reprogramming for a simple damper swap. Go on, tell me, I’m all ears.

Mind you, your ECU fixing - ‘so difficult you need to go to special Ferrari top secret-ninja-warrior-tech-school’ to fix it job, is so easy to pull out even you could manage it if I sent you pictures. And a left handed screwdriver.
Still must not touch these really hard to work on cars, eh!

Since when is a computer not a basic diagnostic tool for a car these days? Since what, 99% of garages have one, and they’re peanuts...
The suspension does not need to be recalibrated for wear and tear replacement parts, neither does the ECU, at best you need to reset it it, which is doable with a basic tool anyone can…

And which part do you think I can’t fix with basic tools, exactly? The only thing you’ve mentioned is the electronic suspension (no more difficult than any other car, easier than many), and the ECU (5 screws and a pair of plugs, swap, put screws back in).
The only lying around here is you pretending you know anything…

No, I started this saying the only things that will need work on a 100k ferrari are the joints and bushings. Because ECU’s don’t really tend to wear out with milage, but then, maybe they don’t teach that at nursery?
And no, there is nothing advanced technologically in a 458, certainly not past the point where anything…

You see, that would be believable if you’d actually given any, sensible, technological reason why.
But, you see, you haven’t, you’ve just spent this entire sub-thread calling me names. Go on, read it back, see just how childish this whole little spat looks.
You come out with shit like the electronic dampers, but you…

You do realise that in terms of repair rheotological dampers are no different to any other, right?
You also realise that 99% of things that techs plug a computer in for can be diagnosed without one? And that they’re on a common protocol so you can do it with a 5$ tool for resets after you’ve fixed the issue?
And that…

I’m guessing you’ve never heard of a meter and a soldering iron, or doesn’t daddy let you play with those?
Aside from the fact it just unplugs if you want to replace it of course.

Go back to school child.
I don’t build kitcars, I build racecars. Most of which have won their respective championships.

I like how you mention Bentley, a maker that was famous for having most of the parts made by craftsmen in sheds. What was that about not understanding technology?
There is NOTHING on a 458 I couldn’t…

Children these days, no wonder our engineering is all getting outsourced to china and india with people like yourself around. Clueless.

And so you should, I find it works quite well, I don’t see ANY long grass where the cars been....

You’re clueless when it comes to the actual mechanics, which I’m finding it just as amusing.
Come back when you’ve built your own gearbox, diffs, calipers, discs, dampers, spaceframes, bodywork, steering racks, joints, arms, wheels and god knows what else I’ve done, maybe I’ll have time to listen to you.

Yes, it’s a collection of other parts that are pretty damned similar to the parts on thousands of other cars and applications.
There is nothing sophisticated about a 458 in terms of technology. The sophistication is in the machinery at the factory that can make 10,000 of them cheaply and precisely, not in the car…

Apparently more of one than yourself, you do realise most of the joints, bushes, bearings, etc, aren’t actually make in house and will just be outsourced parts?

The IVA is pretty hard to get through, but thankfully there’s no real regulation beside the safety side of things. Which is why you can do this:

No they’re not, I build cars all day, from scratch.

Actually, I can ride a scooter on my car licence with just a basic training course, but not a ZX-14R...

20k?
I can tell you right now I can get one done for £1500. (What’s that, about $2500?).

Besides, it’s a wet carbon/carbon unit afaik, so it’s they’re pretty durable.

There’s only so many ways a wearing joint, bush or clutch goes together, even if it’s been made by italian virgins riding bareback on unicorns under a blue moon.
