Building A Ferrari 355 F1 GTS Replica Kit Car

A quick insight as to what is involved in turning Japanese reliability into an Italian Dream. Hope you enjoy watching, as much as i did building it.

[@riceaesthetics9142]

those wheel spacers are insane.

[@amandaguzman1949]

You did a wonderful job on building this.

[@billsmith3619]

+Amanda Miller ohhh jesus you troll every replica video get a life

[@cologne2792]

Probably the most informative video on building a 355 replica ever seen. Superb work.

[@rcWizzard]

Hey, nice video and Nice Job on the Car. I have a 92 MR2 Turbo with 53k miles. It's my Ferrari without all that work. Take Care!

[@QWILDER]

I can't stop watching your video! I have been to E-bay looking for a MR2 and started looking and how to mod the car to a V8. You Video in a inspiration! I wanna Go LAMBO! Don't take it down NEVER!

[@xXShadowRejectsXx]

honestly, i thought it was gonna suck, but it came out so nice. best replica ive seen so far

[@paranoic1989]

one of the best videos, they how show everything, how to build the door the rims and all.....

[@kiev01]

I have seen this kit and like it. It's one of the best kits out on the market. While I understand that some people are booing the MR2 engine, the stock engine is nothing to laugh at. Further more, if you throw in the Turbo option, it goes from a 10 second car to a 4 second car, which is where the Ferrari is at. And while some might like the original body of the MR2, which I love my MR2, the option to add a body kit is up to the owner. Frankly, this is a great job.

[@twinturbotoyotasupra]

Congrats! looks absolutely amazing. obviously a well thought out plan, keep up the great work.

[@newjcb123uk]

Fantastic - a lot more work than I first imagined - well done :)

[@alvaropizarro]

My respects to whoever put thi sthing together! Awesome work...I'm speachless!

[@blueGTOdude]

that is an AMAZING car! You should be really proud of it, great job.

[@KoalaPhD]

beautiful, good work, and exellent Toyorrari

[@StRyKeR510]

beautiful base 93 mr2, and wonderful project outcome, props!

[@duebang1]

Be proud! You´ve got a good reason. Nice car, good project.

[@Richymasta]

wow that's super! Great compilation and great car!!

[@jnsykes1]

Woah! That is one nice job; was dreading the interior shot but you nailed it.

[@Stylensky]

Very good job indeed. The panels look like they fit perfectly on the finished car.

[@xatzis5000]

Awesome work!

[@Syfaphonetic]

I am lucky enough to have picked up a 355 last year but I wish I had even a 1/1000th of the skill you have just to make mine look a bit smarter - awesome project scary amount of work and a really well balanced result I love it :S !!!!!!

[@colfair]

I'm not really much of a Ferrari man but have to give mucho respect for a really nice looking car. I see quite a few where i live and if I saw yours wouldnt consider it anything other than the real thing (which is mostly what it's all about isn't it? Bet your Little boy LOVES it too.

[@fadaddle123]

Looks so real!

[@BFG100K]

That project really amased me. Looks very well done. You have to keep an eye on the wheel bearings. Those long spacers puts an extreme load on them.

[@dmx666uk]

dude i think it looks nice man great work

[@Herbal69]

Cool as long as it stays off the streets with those crazy wheel spacers. I guess bearing wear, altered scrub radius and increased unsprung mass are non issues because look what I got, its a Ferrari.

[@riceaesthetics9142]

HerbalPowered exactly.. those spacers are insane!

[@b2523]

Great job, a lot of work too. A car you can be proud of, because that's you who built it. I do not think our regulations in France would allow such an experience.

[@bja311]

Wow, that's a really good job!

[@Mogyi2]

Men you have done a great job!!! I never could make that

[@GU5S]

damn. Usually you can tell a converted MR2 from a real 355 a mile away. But your's looks sweet. I think the main reason is because you actually widened yours. Most people seem to skip this, and it shows. A real 355 is noticably wider than an MR2. Judging from yours, its worth the extra effort. Cos like I said, very hard to tell the diff. Nice job.

[@maurolue]

dude you did a good job

[@JohnnyWheelz]

Amazing work

[@ScubaSteveM45]

You are right, MR2's hold their own on the roads, and have a reputation of their own for performance.

[@soundsleep1]

The rounded and smaller windshield is a dead giveaway. Should be flat and damn nesr wide as the body. Spacers make it a death trap.Nice car through.

[@positivesecret]

LOOKS AWESOME

[@liberty_10]

great job,great song

[@hollow121314]

sultans of swing nice lol havent heard this in awhile, and nice choice of car the 355 is in my top 5 favorite cars.

[@waseemo86]

nice car, great job

[@bert308gts]

Hi, nice project. I have a real Ferrari, a 1980 308GTSi, it didn't cost much more than your project (25000 Euro). I've had it for ten years and only spent a couple of thousand on maintenance and it is excempt from road tax now (Netherlands). And I'm working class! Just a tip for others, enjoy your car.

[@copher1990]

great song and video!

[@GORDONDALTON]

OH!!! YES YES very nice work and car congratulationes

[@BananaWorld2000]

mr2 1991-1995 used around 2-3k Euros in Perfect conditions with low KM,Kit costs max 3-5k + hand work interrior all togheter under 10k Euros u get an awesome Replica from an F335 and yes its worth it! :)

[@Bsatt]

That is so cool! Wish i could do that!

[@straitupslapstick]

thats sick bro!

[@Pyroguy92]

This is awesome.

[@vaptube]

simply WICKED, i want one too

[@constantine1972]

Very Nice, Looks like you had a really fun time making it too. Looks like the whole family got involved. I bet it wouldnt mean that much to you if it was made in maranello.... Priceless :)

[@MrAvacadoman]

this is crazy awesome

[@JustAnotherGTAfan]

ONLY one word : WOW !

[@jayro121]

holy crap those spacers are huge!!!!!!!!! came oput nice. i have a 89 super charges mr2

[@QWILDER]

[@be8282]

really good video....really good...

[@crys360]

great work =)

[@dagrollin]

amzing job, i wish i could do somthing like that

[@sonakoya2001]

great job

[@davidhermann6982]

Looks good

[@Obscevator]

looks goodd!

[@FixUpChris]

Thanks, just had a good look over it and may get one, although i think i would make some brackets for extending the wheels, as those spacers dont look healthy. Thanks, Chris.

[@mstrchief43]

Wow, i have a your car just real... this is amazing what you did, but you probably didn't have to pay 100,000 dollars, bravo. At the beginning i couldnt see how this was possible, you sure as hell did it. I am astonished. Now all you need is to make the engine better, paddle shifters and middle console. Also on the real F1 there are red lights in the door...

[@juani2838]

wow man, that's a pretty awesome kit, of course the roof looks a bit floppy but, everything else is spot on, i'm telling you, get the original rims and do something to that yellow interior and i'll be glad to buy it from you

[@edd707]

good job on ur car man.

[@sylverjim]

I was thinking the same. My mouth dropped when I saw the size of the spacers!!!! I would be afraid of the wheel coming off

[@LowRiderGuy]

Makes sense, I too wanted to build a replica, but I would need the speed to back up the looks... To each his own, and it looks damn nice!

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Great video.. do the wheel spacers put extra load on wheel bearings??

[@XOTICAR]

Look at the new Fiberfab Valkyrie kit, it is based on a Corvette donor car for parts, ideally a rolled over insurance loss from a wrecker, and you can do all the work yourself, including a one hour engine swap to a 4 cyl engine when you don't need all that horsepower. And I used to drive "a poor man's Ferarri" when I owned an Italian Bertone (Fiat) X-1/9 with Targa top. It cost $3000 used, I drove it for two years and sold it for $3000. There is nothing wrong with saving money to spend on gas!

[@jabemer]

wow! that's a nice video

[@Marco213s.mexicanpower]

That looks badass I want to make one too

[@beastman.330]

My freind makes these bodykits for Mr2 but he stopped for a bit because the Ferrari company was AFTER HIM. HE CAN STILL MAKE THIS BODYKIT IF YOU WANT ONE. HE ALSO MAKES ROCKET BUNNY KITS FOR S13 S14 MAZDA MX5.

[@Tivoliterror]

That is the sickest thing i have ever seen... can you do it to my MR2 ^^ xD

[@vaanchaos]

Just have to say nice job mate and this is comming from a guy who loves mr2's. hopefully you will do some more mr2 body kits maybe next time you could do a wide body kit on one.

[@top40productions]

Yeah Mike those wheel spacers are the biggest Ive ever seen, they would effect the unsprung weight a lot, as the underpowered engine tries to turn those spacers and heavier rims, great job though, back wheels dont look far enough out though even still, but a labor of love for sure.

[@MrHeavysteel]

This car is all about details

[@ayresy81]

good job mate looks the dogs i want one

[@fastman119]

extreme kit car. its from europe, but they can ship from ny. great and relitivly inexpensive process, i would recommend it!

[@drftr87]

[@h8ncars]

Nice work , done the right way , I've seen many just slapped on and puddied like crap ! How long did this take ?

[@soviet1942]

Amazing just purely amazing. Please tell me where you got the kit and the estimated amount to spent to do this. This is just great. Great job.

[@DC5Pro]
