ManiPuLatoR Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Well what you do is; 1. Buy a 1985 PONTIAC for $4500 2. Buy a Lamborghini Diablo replica for $3500 And you have yourself a 2001 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO REPLICA! And then you can buy your, lights to badges to interior to the engine cover from here!

knore Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47094-want-a-2001-lamborghini-diablo-for-peanuts/#findComment-953423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFAA32 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47094-want-a-2001-lamborghini-diablo-for-peanuts/#findComment-953516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKBANANA Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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.

wreckedhead Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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.

funkymonkey Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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 ).

funkymonkey Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 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. www.kitcars.com is your friend Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/47094-want-a-2001-lamborghini-diablo-for-peanuts/#findComment-954685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
