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.

two points here-

*if anyone paid cash for one, they'd well and truly be able to afford pay-by-the month insurance

*how on earth you gunna lease/get a loan for that much and not have it comp insured?

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 am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
