9 Things Doug DeMuro Got WRONG About the Ferrari F430

I just want to also clarify, I'm not trying to beat up daddy Doug. I think he does great videos. I just wanted to make sure people didn't perpetuate some inaccuracies about the F430. Enjoy.

My Scuderia was first registered in July 2010 (we dont do model years in Europe like the US does)

Damn, correcting daddy Doug. You got some huevos!

I have a 2006 factory manual F430 Spider. I can confirm that the selected gear LED screen is there but does not work at all.

[OmerAftab]

Thanks for all your amazing content. I recently did the tail light fix thanks to your videos, and today I finally learned what the off button is for! :D

[MS]

Love this, love the details. Thanks Dan!

[yass]

I emailed him back in the day when he sold the 360 and he said he'd love an F430 Spyder with a manual one day.
Should have bought that one😂.

Loved the discussion on engine evolution. This explains why the F430 is such a good choice, particularly with a stick.

Not trying to be nitpicky, more so trying to see if my car is different… on the topic of the HVAC, my “off” button controls the thermostat, not simply the AC compressor. Meaning, if it’s “off” the HEAT doesn’t work either. It just blows air according to the fan speed selection knob only. So essentially by selecting the “off” button, the middle temperature knob is ignored. If it is “on, ” then the middle temperature knob determines whether or not the heat or the AC will kick on, which ever is needed to get to the selected temperature. Again, that seems to be how it works in my car… In which case, the “off” button really means “temperature / thermostat off.” Maybe I’m remembering all that incorrectly as I rarely need to run the heat living in Florida… but I’m next to positive that’s how mine works. And honestly, I think it’s not all that unintuitive if that’s the case.

the frunk switch doesn't work with my 05' unless key is on... but I always use the manual cable underneath anyway ;)

[BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather]

Re: A/C OFF button, the funny thing is, on the 360 it says STOP instead of OFF, which is even more confusing, even possibly alarming, so it seems like someone pointed that out to Ferrari and they said “no problem, we’ll fix that” and changed STOP to OFF . Anything else would be like admitting to making a mistake which is not permissible at Ferrari.

Dan, have you done an expose on the differences between the two types of conversions and is one better than the other mechanically? (I understand the newer one may be less expensive than the EAG?

[marcot]

Dan - awesome video. Not sure if you know the answer to this. Regarding the OEM gated stick housing cap horse …. Do you know if any of the OEM gated stick housing caps came from the factory with gear shift pattern instead of the horse???

[kevinmanning]

Throwin’ a little shade at Dougie….I LOVE IT!!

[jackprick]

Dan, I apologize if I've missed it, but how many manual conversion kits are out there? Cambio Manuale and EAG, others? Do they both require defeating the E-diff and what exactly is that? How does defeating E-diff affect the car? On the conversion kits, for what cars are they available that your shop is working with, 430, 599, what else?

Thanks, I really enjoy your channel, and hope to come by and visit you guys if only to say hello and pet Moses.

Take care

How do you like that wrap on the exhaust? Have you done any temp tests or nah? I have an S-Line and have been thinking. 🤔

[louisgara]

I've never heard of Doug DeMuro before, but his hysterical manner of speech and presentation really puts me off. Dan and Josh's explanations and presentations are logical, understandable, delivered in a normal voice and just very well done, without any hysterics at all. Doug may or may not have some points to make, but I hope not to hear his voice ever again. Life is too short for me to have to listen to that.

[garyleibitzke]

Dan, Doug's associate Kennen recently did a video about an F430 on Cars & Bids with a manual conversion. He also said it was a transmission swap. I commented on that. BTW, I see Meg's Mini with the hood up. Maintenance time?

[scottlewis]

Hi Dan. You say it is a conversion (which I am well aware of). But you also said that the 458 is very similar. Can the conversion be done to a 458?

[jonathankidd]

Dan is the type of guy who corrects Doug DeMuro.

Dan, this video reminds of that mopar expert on motor trend tv that knows mopars inside and out except you’re the Ferrari guy
