At DailyDrivenExotics, the team embarked on a thrilling project to transform a Ferrari F12 into a 500 horsepower beast fit for the intense world of drifting. However, the project hit a speed bump as the team shifted focus to their new headquarters, engaging in tire-shredding antics that put their equipment to the test. To address the strain of drifting, the F12 was meticulously crafted with a rear mount radiator, fuel cell, and quick-change diff for optimal reliability. Yet, the engine build faced delays due to custom components like Pistons and rods, requiring time and precision.
In the midst of the F12 project, the team found themselves grappling with the dilemma of two Ferrari 599 cars bought for drifting purposes. Despite efforts to enhance the 599s with manual conversion kits and custom handbrakes, the cars repeatedly succumbed to breakdowns, highlighting their unsuitability for intense drifting. The team pondered whether to persist with the troublesome 599s or prioritize completing the F12 project, underscoring the challenges of balancing passion for drifting with the practicalities of car reliability.
As the team delved into troubleshooting an overheating issue plaguing one of the 599's engines, suspicions arose regarding a potential bad head gasket or a malfunctioning thermostat. Through a meticulous process of removing the thermostat, vacuum bleeding the cooling system, and conducting a pressure test, the team aimed to pinpoint the root cause of the overheating problem. Despite confirming the functionality of the fans, the 599 continued to run hot, prompting a deeper investigation into the relays and fuses controlling the cooling system. The relentless pursuit of resolving the 599's issues shed light on the intricacies and challenges of maintaining a reliable drift car, particularly within the realm of Ferrari's notorious electrical quirks.
