Great pics. The F50 is truly an awesome car and my favourite Ferrari ever.

wow, that easy huh? Wonder what the manual instructions say ... 1. split car in half ... lol

i wonder how many Gs the owner had to blow on this. But then again if you have money to buy a Ferrari F50, spending money on something like this wouldnt be a big issue... :lol:

For a goofy looking guy, he's making a pretty good living. I think you're right on the price tag of that service. My recollection is $16,000 for the first service. They wax the under carriage for that price too though so it's worth every penny. :yahoo:

Any reason to remove the cluch? It looks like an already regd car.A snag ,a routine replacement o something?

Thanks mate! It sure looks like a big job isnt it? split half the car for just a clutch job...Pinnin designers must design somthing simple next time (if its a clutch replacement only )ha ha.

hehe thats true.I was reading another forum the other day and came across the following i

"I used to work in a Ferrari dealership and saw many Ferrari vehicles dissasembled int his fashion. If the car requires anything more than an oil change then its just easier to remove the entire rear bodywork/subframe in one unit and work on it off the car.

The dealership had this really cool dolly/workstation where the techs could work on the transmission and engine at ground level."

well its because in most ferraris the engine itself is a part of the structure. thats why they just get ripped to bits when they crash. cos as strong as it may be its very brittle. but its a better solution rather than having to build a whole spaceframe to accomodate various suspension and body components which is highly unnecessary when the engine is so rigid.
