Here's everything that's BROKEN on my Ferrari 458 (and why it was so CHEAP)

You definitely need the engine cover pan. This shouldn't even be a debate, especially with the oil cooler lines, gas tanks etc exposed. Surely you were just busting the Wizards balls on this one.

Rear tray is a must. Even at factory ride height, it's still a very low car, and there's many sensitives parts that could easily be damaged and worth way over the price of that tray. But even with the cost of this part, you made the deal of the century ! It makes no sense to me not to replace it. Also, full annual service. Again, you made the deal of the century, treat it well, and you will enjoy it for years.

What's crazy is that a cabin air filter for the 458 is $50 on Amazon. Someone had a six figure car and didn't want to spend $50. That blows my mind.

[WthaHatchet]

Congrats man! I would definitely spend the money on the belly pan. It makes the car much more stable, channels the air to the rear splitter, allows the car to not be a parachute in the back. Not to mention it definitely makes it more sellable later. With all the money saved already and its benefits its worth it and you can actually put it on yourself man! I wouldnt wanna hit something and it come up in the engine bay either such as an animal, something from another car or just a stick etc.

If it has an exposed flywheel and you need to raise the ride height to avoid damage, a cover seems like a good idea

Never thought I’d see the day when hoovie totally cheaps out on a Ferrari in the wrong way, at the very least get the underbody engine cover put on, it’s madness not to

[sirwhippamus]

Hoovie, my dude I wasn’t ready for the Will joke😂. Great video and can’t wait to see this 458 out and about. Thanks for the amazing content 👍

[Itwasntalieitwastrueinmymind]

Beautiful car, I do hope he was just kidding about passing on the Annual maintenance fluid change. Not knowing a ton of history on that car first thing would be all fluids/filters. $1500 is nothing.

[blaketindle]

Definitely gonna regret not getting the engine cover pan when you scrape and destroy the flywheel and oil cooler going over a bump! Also you can already see what’s happening to the fuel tanks!

[wurstgewehr]

I could live with a dent in the tank but the missing engine cover and broken diffusor should be fixed. I mean they do protect the car and improve it a lot aerodynamically.

[KSE]

This is one of the few cars where it physically pains me to see Hoovie cheap out.

[Lee-pfxi]

100% need to get the engine under cover back on it. will stop any crap hitting your tanks and other costly stuff, and if the air gets hold the rear diffuser that will set you back 3k to 4k

[ravennexusmh]

Should still do the rear tray
It runs air over the rear difuser improving grip
Without it the rear bumper/diffuser just acts as an air damn holding thr car back like a parachute

[AnkitSingh-ezgc]

I think fixing everything except dropping the engine for those fuel tanks was worth it. This car has always been an icon, God knows what state it's fluids and it's serviceable components are in.

[erikunscio]

Engine cover its a must! Come on man you're treating the 458 same as last owner did! Rocks will chip your flywheel, oil pan, fuel tank.. its not worthed to cheaped out that

[-Jester]

C'mon Hoovie, do the full service and the tray, - at least the tray. All it's gonna take is one big stone flicking up into the flywheel to grenade your engine. You really gonna save $2500 now only to spend the $15, 000+ for an engine out and a flywheel replacement, as well as whatever other damage it's caused? You've already got a huge dent in the fuel tank from not having the tray on. You really wanna chance it again? Maybe the fuel tank won't be so lucky next time.

The service is also gonna be important since you don't know the history of the car. As reliable as the 458 is, it's reliable *for a Ferrari*. It's not reliable enough to be cheaping on the services. It's still a Ferrari, not a Hilux.

You haggled the original owner down $20, 000 what he was asking for. You can afford to spend an extra $3000 to make sure the car's going to be good for years to come.

For the Diablo, might be a longshot but the drone could be from a bad exhaust hanger, or damper. My Lexus had the same thing where it would whine on the highway (it did it always, but just more obvious when cruising at 65). I ended up adding some additional clamps and dampers on them and attached to my exhaust. I did 2 of them and it cleared the problem right up, I couldn't believe it.

Not sure if this would help you, but I hope you see this and hopefully it can help.

[JF-ltzc]

So my takeaway is that you got a great deal on a car that needs a small bit of work but instead of making it right, you are going cheap, like the previous owner... Put the pan on it, get the service done right, pull the dent in the fuel tank, and then enjoy it worry free for the next 4 weeks until you flip it. :)

[spussego]

it was kinda sad to see you say no to a lot of things for this like a full service. I would definitely have bought an rear belly pan - especially since the clutch is has an open hole. This way rocks and dirt would not go in and damage the transmission personally I think you should do the full service since the repair bill was so low... the fuel tank replacement was definitely not necessary though.
As for the moaning Diablo.... could it do something with back pressure in the exhaust as you said it gets louder the more you press the accelerator.... or it could just be an exterior weather stripping seal somewhere... those are my two best guesses...
