question about the 1278 hp Diablo twin turbo

[raven1822]

Raging Bull,

Koenig did make some really wild and crazy creations. All of which I excellent. I love the 512 creation probably the most. I just could not get myself to modify an exotic car to that extent. To me it would be no do different than taking a 1963 split window Corvette and modifying it. Just could not do it.

I do know what Texas is talking about when referring to the current state of this forum. There was one point when we had two comfirmed Murcielago owners that posted pics and Lambo "quizzes and trivia" at least once a week. Two very down to earth guys at that. It just seems that those times have come and gone.

raven1822,

Your taste might be different but i would pull the trigger on that body kit and engine converstion any day of the week! It shows alot of individuality and creativity and the best part is that it looks WOW

For the Diablo TT, the company is coming back to me with a proposal to upgrade some engine, gearbox, and differential parts. Anything in particular i should ask for ? We have already discussed low compression pistons, changing the connecting rods, and gaskets along with gearbox and diff shafts. Is there anything else i missed ?

P.S. the guy was kind enough to call me to ask how hard i drive to try and figure out what exactly needs to be changed. But it was nice of him to say that he was worried about me and highly recommended a roll cage !

Oh and i almost forgot, they are going to send me a video tape of the Diablo TT. I told them we cant play NTSC tapes over here so they decided to send me a video player along with it :22yikes:

i still dont think you can turbo em. seriously i dont know how they do it?????

[The Raging Bull]

Would anyone pull the trigger for this kit ?

The company has come back to me and said that they can add low compression pistons and anything the customer wants. I thought that low compressions was a must plus, a heavy duty gasket, engine pins, oil cooler, a bigger radiator, transmission oil cooler, diff oil cooler, a heavy duty clutch.

All that for $105,000 and the diablo would be pumping 1278 bhp and 923 lbs of torque.

They think a roll cage is important along with 390mm all around brakes.

Is it too risky to go for this kit although low compression pistons have been added ?

Thanks guys

If all other components are upgraded, you should be fine. Besides, you wnt be running around at full boost all the time. You will end up having the worlds sickest Diablo though. You should join www.lamborghini-talk.com . Alot more owners there.

Raging Bull,that would be a wild ride.I think with the other mods you have mentioned,all will be fine.I for 1 would love to see it!!As Allan said,come visit us at www.lambo-talk.com

Many owners and info there.

hmmm...

SE30, after i thought about this issue here, I think that there is 1 problem left..does pmengine provide you with an aero kit? you need a superb downforce, I am sure you know what I mean. And maybe Koenig can help you out with that. Or look for custom made bodyparts, allanlambo, you have addresses for companies providing custom bodyparts form diablos? a huge rear wing, a front and rear bumper, side skirts, well I have found a place here where they made custom bodyparts for the murcielago, I just cant believe it! If anyone needs pics I can send them. They add fenders and wings and bumpers like crazy, you draw it and they design and fit it. They also apply special paints, and fit great rims to the car. Even the interior, damn they made it carbon fiber, and colored it like the car's exterior. Maybe they would do the same for the diablo.

Awesome car, does the company fabricate custom parts?

Dream car for me.

I am the proud owner of vt roadster 99, but i want to know whether i would be able to import my diablo to Canada, Ontario from United Arab Emirates, Dubai since i have recently moved here. i wanted to know whther ne body has done this before and what r the differences between the US Spec so i could have it modified to be imported. some one plz help me with the info as i love my car and really want to bring it to Canada.

Bullshit!

No one who "claims" to own a 99 roadster uses shortened words suchs as "ne" "r" and worse of all "plz".
You are a 13 year old punk from America, get over yourself!

[devilsangel]

I dont think i asked for any criticism or your judgements upon what I really have or not. If you think by having a pic of Carlton Draught makes you older than a 13 years old punk from America then you really are an immature aussie and that is what they are known for.

Now regarding the roadster i was asking these question as i have asked transport Canada and the RIV office but nobody gives me a straight reply, so then I tried Unlimited Motors which is Lamborghini Toronto to see if they have any information but in vain. Therefore i needed to know whether there is somebody that has imported a vehicle of this sort and how did they get by it. Oh and by the way I am 25 years of age and Davo if ur jealous that i have a Diablo at this age so be it, i am young and i will live it up, while u sit there and sip ur beers playing with ur diecast models since u dont have ne thing better than a nova on ur driveway.
