OBD Port Help on 2.5 V6 (if you can get past its a Replica lol)

Ignoring the Cougar door frames/lower sills and the window seals, that interior is very impressive. You've gone so much further than most Ferrari conversions, as I'm sure you know.

So what's it like to drive? Is it just a V6 (ST24) Cougar* or have you done engine mods as well?


*The V6 is a great drive -please don't get me wrong.
 
Yes Thanks Paul see you at 9:30... I purchased the car fully Built ... The interior is Black Leather and Alcantara ...a Trimmers in Harrogate did the seats and Door cards etc Double stitched in Red must admit they made a pretty Good Job replicating the interior and it adds to the illusion ...the DNA kits are Superb none of your Wobbly Wavy Panels of the early 355's based on the MR2
most Folk will believe they are seeing a 458 Italia its Gleaming and looks Impressive
servicing this may be say £328 as opposed to £3280 lol and 30k plays 175k
the Engine is Completley Standard it's Quite Brisk given the Straight thru exhaust it looks and Sounds the part
i'd never get involved in Traffic light Grand Prix's as you'd look Silly but on the Face of it I have nothing to prove and just Prowl around letting Folk in Hot Hatches go ... Brings a Smile to Folks with Waves and Pictures taken ....Its that "Daddy Look it's a Ferrari!" Years ago it was me saying "Look it's a Cozzie!" All Good Fun
 
Well as Paul 'Funwoody' promised he called at my Home this morning and pulled off the panel on his own Black V6 to look at the Wiring Harness for Colours to give a Clue as to where mine was ....Paul peered in to mine suddenly announcing "I've found it!" It had been bolted to a Bracket where you would have thought it was some part of the loom as the port itself was not visible.
I wanted to Thank Paul for his Help I had looked and better looked and could not locate it .... Pleasure to meet you Paul Thanks again!
 
What a car!
Still smiling from the sound from the exhaust.

Journey over not without event though as picked up a stowaway.
Arrived with a pigeon lodged in the grill and a bit of clip out trim missing

A quick two minute drive back to the suicide site found it.
Superglue will sort with no drama.

Took some finding the OBD port, but eventually located.
Hopefully may have identified why ABS and traction control light on.
Possibly just needs plug connecting to rear of tc switch.

Ken needs to bring his car to Hardwood as an example of the max body mod available.

Good morning out with a great and interesting guy.

Thanks Ken.

Hi Paul I'm not going to make Heywood ...Nor with the DNA Replicas Club at Pickering .... Think there's only 3 - 4 cars going to that one the last one I went to was Cars in the Park at Ripon and there was 8 so Good where they a real California joined us and later an F430 the owner saying "There's a better turnout than last year" we all looked at him and one of our Guys said "You do realise you have joined the DNA Ferrari Replicas Club" he left immediately lol
Catcha Later Ken
 
Had the car in to Harry Stablers in Darlington for the ABS and Brake light 'on' permanently .... Now with the Benefit of the OBD Port Diagnostics showed a Brocken line on FOS Wheel ... Fixed and tied into place "Jobs Jobbed" and just £58 an hours Labour
many Thanks to Paul 'Funwoody' and another Paul..
