Quite an impressive bill!!!

 

welcome to 12cyl world. by the way where did you get the work done and who is doing your paint?

 

Guy, When you let your beast loose in the spring it will be all worth it.

 

Wow that's a whole lot of changes!!

 

Do you own a White NSX?

 

Where did you get it serviced?

 

If I deduct for the TUBI, new cats and two new tires as well as wheel polishing, I figure a that TR major service costs about $15K CAD...........does that guess even come close to the numbers on your work order ?

 

That's too much money! I had a full service on both my ex-TR and current BB512i with cam belts at an authorized Ferrari dealer for less than $6k each.

 

It worth it!!!!
And thank you; you have just received and reobtained a piece of our world heritage list!
Who pleasure gives shall joy receive

 

I presume that is in USD. We are Canada, everything is +/- 30% more expensive when it is comes to anything to do with Ferrari parts.
Last year I had done out of car complete engine service and clutch kit on my 512TR. Cost was ($12569.03 tax inc) much less than I was quote elsewhere.
included in the work,oils,fluids,drain seals,recharge a/c, battery,timingbelts ($180.00 for both LOL!!!!), complete clutch kit,tensioner rollers,cam seals & rings,gaskets,seals, plugs, filters, exhaust gaskets, belts,oil pressure hoses, hall sensor seal, clamps. All this for replacing the "mandatory bullsh*t ferrari so called service schedule". It' all a crock of sh*t. But what can you do? If you want to own and drive these beautiful cars, it comes with the territory.

$12569.03 to replace a $180.00 part.

Let me get back to work, so I can finish paying the loan I took out to finance these repairs.LOL

 

You guys could save a ton by transporting the car south. Franks right thats too much.

 

That's an interesting suggestion. I almost think there must be some kind of catch with Customs (or some other government agency) that would prevent this.

It would be interesting to know what it would've cost to ship the car to e.g. WWoC or someone, have all the same work done and have it shipped back?

Obivously there is no time constraint, due to our weather and the fact that its been gone for 2 months already....

Would this even be possible?

 

You can ship cars south for repairs......no sweat.......you pay duty and tax on the value of the repair upon return.

 

If I owned such a beast. I would not bother with the so-called schedule crap. Just drive the sucker and enjoy it. Dam I was selling Subaru's and yes the engines did have dual cams and turbos and guess what "timming belt replacement every 182,000 km and yes a 2.5 L turbo did produce 300hp and 300lbs of torque. Now that is output

 

Only if you tell them.

 

hahaha i can't wait until you get a ferrari and just drive the **** out of it without getting the major done

 

I agree, it's rediculous.

 

I had no choice. I had to change my timing belts due to age and not mileage. It was way overdue (10 years old). I figured that since the engine was out of the car, I might as well take care of everything now. The clutch was still OK but replaced it anyway, replaced the oil pressure hoses which really didn't need. All in all, an out of car engine service on a flat-12 is approx. $7000.00. It's just preventive maintenance. Spent $7000.00 today or be sorry later and spend $50000.00 on a new motor.(if it's even enough).

I am seriously considering the new vette. Drive the hell out of it for 3 years and get everything repaired under warranty. A friend in Florida got his new vette a couple of months ago and told me that it outperforms his 360 in every way possible, except for the attention he gets in his ferrari.

 

got the job done at autobugatti its not that the guy is robing me thats the price you got to pay the keep that babe magnet on the road ,ihave a red 91 nsx 3years ago got the timing belt done put a bashsupercharge ,racing exhaust ,+++++ =456 h.p later.cost22,654.07 the nsx is on for sale at bugatti as we speak if someone is intersted .for the paint job same guy as last time the guy painted my nsx did a super duper job 3 weeks later the car was appart .all that for 3500.oo no tax any question guys.......

 

Guy,
Autobugatti is a great place, they have done work on my Ferraris for the last 10 years. Ed the mechanic is very passionate about his work. The rest of the gang are a bunch of great guys and the prices are very reasonable. My 512tr will be there in a couple of weeks for detailing and a spring inspection.à
Are you getting your TR completely repainted?


Tony

 

Wow, remind me never to buy that car after you are done with it.

**** LOL.

 

yes full paint job even joe at bugatti was amazed whith the paint he did on the nsx and for that price you can,t pass the occasion of a new paint guy .you can always call me if you need more detail guy veronneau 514 7264264 good day guy

 

True, it's what I hear too. Joe.V is probably one of the best in Canada especially for Ferrari.

 

You guys gotta help me out here.....512tr these numbers you are talking about are mortifing !!!!

I did belts on mine in 2000 and the clutch in 2001 with all the oils and filters, and plugs and got it waxed on top of that for about 11k cdn. I talked to Tom over the summer as I am getting ready again in the next season or two to do them again and he said 5-6k with no surprises. Where are these numbers coming from ? Routine service yearly only costs me $500-$900 what am I missing here?
