Very nice. In fact very, vary nice work. And A+ for effort.

Only thing, where does the F40 feature?

I guess Im not sure what you mean? Are you saying its not giving off enough F40 vibes? Maybe I should call it f40 inspired? The outside is a clean, simple design. I never intended to be that obvious I guess. At first, I went for a cleaner, and more f40 like simplicity, even internally.
Like with all my builds, they get a lil, over packed as I just can't stop myself from experimenting. In any case, the engine decals, glass panel, color theme, etc. I agree I suppose that I could have taken it further. Thanks for you comment.
As modders, we dont get better without critiques from our cohorts.

I hope I can explain, but first let me be clear - I do think your build is great and for sure worthy of the Ferrari badge.

I have only ever seen a F40 up close once, but I have been in newer and I would say less iconic Ferrari's and they all felt more modern and luxurious.
To me the F40 is special for both what it is and what it isn't, it is things like the sparse/raw purposeful interior, the paint being so thin you can sort of see the fiber underneath. For a build to be a homage to the F40 I think it needs elements that is recognizable F40, it could be shapes, elements replicating interior details or maybe a nod to how the rear wing of the car carries its name .

Did you look at all the pic? If not, take a look. You could say I know a lil about em. :)

And whether its worthy of the moniker or not? I suppose that is up to the viewer.

Picked up a Intel 265k, new in box at Walmart yesterday for $170! Ill sell my 265f for cheap and I have myself a pretty affordable upgrade. :)
And since 530am today, I have broken two world records for my hardware config. Good times.

Beautiful!

(hey, you italian? 🤣 )

MikOnTopGGBeautiful!

(hey, you italian? 🤣 )

Thank you!
Honestly, I dont know much about my original European heritage, a mixture as most in my area are. Im American (which, pending on your point of view, is unfortunate atm.).

Hey, that previous photo seems like a real F40, probably not sure if the LM as you I'm sure you know, LM had the read top splitter different.
My first Ferrari was a F355 Spider Manual from 1995, just before the new emissions rules comes in 1996 on Europeans.

Good job on your new case, but take care about the stylish fiber carbon pieces, are real or like today's stylish copper heat sink, that in reality are no copper, just aluminum copper painted

Below one of the cars I had, unfortunately, due to my investments in tech, and most people don't believe me, I have no one 4 wheel car at this time

What model?

I was referring to the car of the last photo of first post, which is, probably, not the LM version (LM = LeMans) of the F40, but just my though, as LM were produces just a few ones, probably one or two dozens. One way to be sure if its a LM is to see the rear of the car, also the front.



As for my first F, it was the F355 Spider, the same model spotted on GoldenEye James Bond 1995 film.
Then I had one 488 Spider, then one V10 old school Lambo in White, then a AMG GT-S, then again a same model V10 Lambo but in Arancio Orange color, and now.. no one car..
Just a Motorbike, which I'll probably be without in some time, I hope no, but .. who knows

Oh yeah, Ive only sat in standard F40s. I know all of the differences. All of my carbon is real and sourced from Dragon Composites. My previous Ferrari 512tr PC mod has Formula one caliber fire retardant carbon and was over 4mm thick. This build however has standard 1.5mm thick carbon weave. I have used 3m DiNoc once, on my very first build (which was shown at MacWorld in San Fran- way back, because it was the first power mac that was custom watercooled and in a PC ATX chassis). The reason for that was that I could not form CF at the time and I couldnt afford to have someone make the pieces either. And all of my h20 parts are solid copper with two blocks being nickel plated.

Nice car! I always liked the style of the 355 as it had a stunning design in my mind. With some well thought-out upgrades, those things can really rip. And not a convertible guy from an engineering standpoint, but to each their own.

I dont really talk about cars much here in this forum, but I am a car guy, to the bone. Here are a couple of photos of "real Ferraris" lol, and a few pics of my kiddo, cuz she is the luckiest car enthusiast in the world. She has sat in $30+ million dollars worth of cars by the time she was 6 years old. We were given the opportunity for her to sit in a legit Shelby Daytona, which as the time was valued at 10 million or so and is now the highest auctioned vehicle ever (2026) and no, the caretaker, would not let me sit in it. Finally, my first vehicle, a fully restored Corvette White 1979 Camaro which would have every upgrade possible and done by myself (I had never worked on a car in my life at that point). And yeah, it was the mid 90s, so the outfit is awful, lol.

By the way, I dont own stocks or even make much money. So I am not some rich dbag, flaunting his cars as they do. :)

Oh men, the Countach, not the LP400 "S" I thought, you know, the dream, the telescophyc submarine one. I still remember the movie with the man of the Ferrari 208 series, I don't remmeber the name... ah.,.. Yess Tom Select.. what movie.. Cannonball LP400S

Tom Selleck was on a TV show called Magnum PI and he drove a 328 gtsi I believe. And the movie with the Countach was CanonBall Run. A classic! And the actor was Burt Reynolds.

It would help if you build inside a 1:10 model and use the kind of tubing that mimics car internals.

I meant 308, not 328, altought Im not sure. But the cannonball was (I belive with a LP400S) a fanatsatic countach

N/AIt would help if you build inside a 1:10 model and use the kind of tubing that mimics car internals.

A literal car PC would not be my cup of tea. And as for tubing, I did... at least as close as I could. There is nothing special about automotive tubing. Unless you are talking about stainless braid covered tubing? That is something I thought about. Maybe Ill reconsider that for the next one.

Actually it's pretty close. I would use only straight chrome fittings and non glossy 10/16 EPDM tubing.

N/AActually it's pretty close. I would use only straight chrome fittings and non glossy 10/16 EPDM tubing.

I see your point on the tubing. After spending too much on branded tubing, I switched. This stuff is less stiff, but doesnt kink considering how thin walled it is. That said, all my rigs got switched over. Ill dig out some old alphacool non glossy tubing and see what it looks like. Thanks for the advice!

Im going to put a quick story that may get my point across on my reasoning above. I went to a hardware store. On one end of the store, they sell tools and on the other end, fishing equipment. Upon inspection of a pair of pliers in both sections..... I found they were in fact, the same pliers, There was one difference - the price. The regular pliers from the "tool" section was $6.49 and the "fishing" pliers were $8.27.
