That looks preety sick.

There a place in Geelong in Victoria that makes full tub frame chassis lambo countach/f40 etc replicas with full replica interior and uses lexus V8's and sell for around $50,000.

this is funny, cos i was at a friends yesterday and we noticed a mamoth yellow thing sticking out of his next door neighbours garage, so we walked over.. hes doing exacly that, has a worked lexus V8 engine, porsche box, and heaps of other bits and pieces. Hes making it from scratch. Should be done by christmas, cost around $100k all up, and hes planning on entering targa tasmania.

[INASNT]

Whats he building for 100k? a countach replica?

[wreckedhead]

what a waste of money, for 100k you can buy a real ferrari or older lamboghini

[knore]

Im not positive, but its going to be street registered etc etc

It looks fairly crazy, hes doing everything in order to race it professionally.

Hes running 335s on the back! Has 2 engines he will sway between, one is a worked lexus V8 the other some kind of twin turbo, i forgot to ask what it was.

A brand new Lamborghini is about $300,000k

nope...they start at $300K and the older they get the more they appreciate...good luck in trying to get a Countach for $100K

if your going to build up a kit car, why not buy an actual kit car, eg ultima etc, i once knew a guy from teh states who build one up , on the gold coast and it was very very quick. then he moved it back to the states when he went back

[OKBANANA]

It isn't lame, its a good idea and you can be proud to say "I built this car" really, and if it dosen't have the 5.7L V12 Motor in it it still dosen't matter, a V8 would be better for daily driving anyway.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

man i'd get one

[ManiPuLatoR]

man i'd get one

lol, man i WANT ONE (Murcielago)

[hippy]

i think its cool ... i bet you'd get more chicks in a lambo replica than a skyline

[wreckedhead]

i think youll get more laughs out of people when they see what looks like a lambo driving past and sounds like a lexus driving past, if you dont have a diablo motor in it dont waste your time, i would kill myself laughing if i saw someone driving in one, and then i would blow past them in my car and laugh.

most serious lambo kit builders use a big block chevy in their Pontiac Fiero (ideal platform since its a Mid engine base). I think you'll find it very hard to keep up with them seeing that they are based on such a light base with a FULL fibreglass body, as opposed to your full metal body and rolling stock. My mate owns a silver Diablo replica in the UK (he went to the extreme of using a honeycomb aluminium tube chassis and chevy engine). If you can blow past him I'll be quite impressed (yes I know you own JETT ).

hahhha i almost missed that last part where you wrote " yes i know you own jett" but even jett might not be able to keep up

[funkymonkey]

the fact that he's an aeronautical engineer for boeing helped too since he made his own chassis tubing... he's a complete nutter.

But you're average joe will get laughed at, true.

For those just looking to stun instead of imitate, there's a supercar kit available which is made from a Honda Accord engine and other parts, and the suspension setup from a Lotus Elise etc etc.
