F40 pic

WoW! She looks brand new, I don't know about the inside but she looks clean.

 

Well worth being framed, fantastic picture.

 

Very Nice!

 

+1

 

Fantastic Ron: but I bet the part you enjoy the most is the fact that this is one dialed-in USA F40. Enjoy, she looks great!

 

Beautiful!

 

Great Picture!

 

Nice Pic. F40 with Xenon conversion is very rare.

 

Lights! Seeing at night? What a novel idea... ;-)

What was done to the electrical system to ensure it doesn't go up in smoke with the extra load? Heck, I'm even afraid to add a radar detector to mine given all the threads on the F40's electrical woes. e.g., delaminating fuse boxes, corroded connectors, etc.

I’ve never had a problem yet with mine (knock on wood) and I usually don’t want to temp fate, but your light mod is worth considering.

Great to see you back with the car - on the road!

That is such an amazing car. The road you were on looks like it must have been fun too.

 

Interesting.

Ive owned 3 different F40s over a period of 15 years and no electrical problems to date. Not one.

 

FANTASTIC shot!! STUNNING F40! Thanks for sharing.

stunning car and picture, you used a wide angle lens; and the lighting is nice on it

 

Hey Joe,

I wonder what % have problems? Some of the service folks on this board have inferred that they all will at some time on certain circuits like fuel pumps and fans. I have no first hand experience thank goodness.

There's also a couple of threads on these era circuit boards:

I just talked to a former F40 owner and he said he had to patch wire a number of the board traces and replace some melted connectors. He sold it right after that.

I wonder if cleaning connectors periodically might help stave off corrosion problems, and thus some of the high resistance, high current, high temp, melted board/connector, follow-ons.

Beautiful car and picture!

 

Tim, no doubt it happens. But something as simple as looking for signs of accumulating dirt & corrosion and cleaning connectors pro-actively (as you suggested) obviously must help. Depends on how much time you want to put into maintenance. Fingers crossed...

 

Gorgeous Ron.

I'd like to know the particulars of that xenon conversion as well.

 

Beautiful Ron ! Looking forward to seeing it in person next year !

 

Is that first picture available in high-res? It is truly poster-worthy. Thanks.

 

Not so! I have seen Ferrari's with around the same miles and there not as old as the f40 and they don't shine that good. I guess it's how you up keep them. Anyway nice car.
