    See @2:14. CEL is clearly on. The dirty secret of these conversions, including the F430, is that the E-Diff is often disabled or screwed up as a result of the conversion, including my own conversion.

    Good job inspector Clouseau... *insert rolling eyes emoji*

    warning lights on or not, its not like they are selling it, and not like anyone can replicate it without spending hundreds of thousands..

    Good morning all, we previously haven't had a presence on FCHAT, but were directed to this thread and thought it might be nice to address it head-on. No misrepresentation here whatsoever; the light that you've highlighted is nothing sinister, it is in fact the headlamp indicator. Check the location of the CEL icon (screenshot taken from the engine-start portion of the same video--normal 10sec CEL sequence on engine-start), you'll see it is located lower in the cluster when compared to the headlamp indicator.

    We genuinely appreciate your enthusiasm for our work, it would seem it is mission accomplished if our car got you so intrigued that you spent your time hunting for potential flaws or explanations for how it simply can't be possible as advertised! The facts are there, there is no misrepresentation and the video isn't hiding anything. Plenty of other people have since driven the car, and could confirm that there isn't anything to hide.

    Based on your cynicism it seems unlikely that you would be a prospective client for a future Modificata commission (which is just as well, because this car is a one-off for us) but if you'd like, we would be more than happy to show you around the car in person, take you for a ride, and buy you a coffee while we address any other concerns that you might have. Send us a private message if you'd like to take us up on the offer.

    All the best,

    The Modificata Team

    You guessed correctly, I would not be a prospective future client for a transmission swap.

    Yeah, you could easily replicate it. All you need is an F430 gearbox and a local shop that can create a gate. Notice how it only has 6 speeds rather than 7? Of course you didn't because you're still upset over my ricer comment from 2 years ago.

    lol@ you could easily replicate it... man you must be fun at parties.




    you're talking to the wrong person actually. But i'm the also the person along with others that called you out when you tried to say you were sold a car with rolled back mileage by NGS and accused them of this all over the net when you had no idea what you were talking about.

    Get a life buddy, and leave people alone, you're a male Karen!


    Like Modifcata or anyone would want to do business with a nightmare karen such as yourself..you're the poster customer to be avoided :)

    The previous dunkee's are feeling strong and emboldened, like a Revenge of the Nerds moment, lol, but they didn't pay attention to the video. LOL.
