Are 599 gearboxes reliable ?

I don’t blame the guys for trying to put on a show, but they aren’t really doing the ecu stuff in house. They’re doing the flashing themselves, but the engine ecu correction is being done by the same guy mentioned above.

I’m also reliably informed that they have not managed to get all of the systems working together without an error message on the dash. At least not yet. Given they’ve still not managed to get rid of the errors on the famous manual 430 Scuderia, then Dan could be waiting a while to get his car finished. The manual scud, if you’re not aware, hasn’t yet had a working mannetino and traction control / ABS since it was converted.

Be under no illusion- figuring this stuff out isn’t easy.

The chap I mentioned to you on fchat, even with all his contacts in the industry had not found anyone with in depth knowledge of the Bosch systems, so it did surprise me to see the claims being made that they were doing all that ecu work themselves.

Some of the casting methods they are using don't look the most professional, I would hazard a guess someone else will also enter the game soon enough to add a bit of competition to the pricing,

That’s a bit of an understatement! They look awful!
