Big fan of this mad_wog dude!

i know alot about lamborghini's

i cant say expert, but i have loved them since i saw one, not long after i came to australia...

uncle hired a VT6.0 convertible once and took me for a nice long drive...

and yeah...

i dont need to read up on them, i now alot of stuff off the top of my head, like the lambo 4x4 does the 0-100 dash in 7.5 or so seconds! thats nealry 3 tonnes, but is running a 400 bhp v12 out of a countach, which was detuned to run on normal unleaded.... best diablo would be the vttt, 1250 hp, 1000 at rear wheels, 250 at front... after they blew it up, then the put a 8.4 liter motor (instead of the 5.7) lol

btw, i would regard myself as highly knowledgeable regarding lamborghini

From what I can gather, he's been in a Lamborghini and is therefore the Cailais Turbo forums resident expert on the matter.

Red Book gives the following evaluation for the car (assuming the details on VL Turbo are correct)

1998 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO

SV Coupe 2dr Man 5sp 5.7i

Prices based on km 90,000 - 160,000

Trade in price guide* $129,400 - $141,900

National average price - private sale* $145,000 - $159,200

Price when new (RRP) $463,947

There could be many reasons why the car wasn't insured but obviously the guy now realises that was a mistake. In regards to the structure of the car I would say the best evidence that the car crumbled as it was designed to do would be the photo of the two occupants standing nearby and not displying any need for immediate medical attention.

    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
    • This is what I've done, add DC until it meets my fuel pressure requirements and above 4500 at over 1bar of boost, I send its mum with 100% DC to both pumps. I'll post up a table soon when I'm free.
