  1. can't seem to find this on e-bay; who is the seller?
  2. Hi,

    Have you had any progress with the manual conversion to you Murcielago?

    Do you now have a consolidated parts list for the swap?

    I am interested for my own conversion to an LP640.

    Look forward to discussing your experience.

    Many Thanks

  3. oh hey, thats me..... I will post up some pics of the parts and difference in transmissions. this is not any harder than changing the clutch yourself... but there are some things to watch for parts wise. There are 2 parts that are kind of optional- in that no one can confirm if they are required or not- these are the only 2 parts I'm missing (i.e havent bought yet): -ECU (engine) -GFU I was hoping to reflash mine rather than buy new units- but the best advice i got was from a tech from Lamborghini in London- "put it together, and see what lights up (on the dash)" so at the moment i'm looking for a well priced manual ECU and matching GFU..... but i have all the other parts and have trial fitted etc. I'm also the only person to have upgraded a murcielago to use a Gallardo/R8 throw out bearing. Despite people who "think" it can be done, i'm the only person to have done it, as I know it requires the purchase of an LP670 bell housing (or clutch cover as lambo calls it)
  4. why not just add extra valves to close of the muffler flow totally? or try my exhaust tips- LP640 end, single pipe entry (like what you plan). I'll post up a pic tomorrow. You can have the tips, and I'd pay you what you paid for yours
  5. def sounds like a software issue; especially if running the same wiring harness. My guess the MPH vs REVs map is out..
  6. the lambo camera is actually this one, made by this german company: you can see the company details on this pic; and also see the heat sink slots from this view too: http://www.please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors.com/product/MainPic_75418.jpg
  7. those pipes look good.... i bought the larini exhaust of the same guy on ebay- missed out on the pipes as you bought them LOL
  8. LEDs barely draw any current; why not just run them off your DRL/tailights?
  9. LP670 pressure plate and clutch disc and flywheel are all the same as 640/580. What differs on the 670 is the throw out bearing (gallardo/R8); but this has oil ways in different positions than the 580/640 throw out bearing; so you also need the 670 clutch cover (bell housing for most people)- it has different cast oil ways and another modification (where the pressure line from the pump plugs into the bell housing). I will post pics up on my clutch thread. AS a side note- I also made the mistake of buying to short a crane, and had to pull the engine from the side... never again.... bought a longer arm crane to put the engine/trans back in.. PS we should have a beer!
  10. mine was running just a primary cat (euro cars never had the secondary); and the rear muffler was replaced with a quicksilver set up (pipes, no cross over); finished with LP640 tip. These are the quicksilver pipes: http://www.quicksilverexhausts.com/Lamborg...uctbulletin.htm and this is a video a car spotter in London made of my car where you can hear it idle and also drive:
  11. How did you go with the manual conversion? I also bought most of the things needed to do this (pedal box, manual trans+shift tower etc). There is no "slave cylinder" on the transmission- it only looks that way on the parts diagram (badly done). That's the one that actual mounts on the front bulkhead that the clutch pedal depresses. So really its the "master cylinder" (as most would think about it) and it DOES share the reservoir of the brake master cylinder (mounted next to it). The actual "slave" as you call it, is the throw out bearing in the murcielago manual trans (same is true on ferrari 360 and 430 etc). Although its an old thread, i see you've been on in Jan 2016, so I thought I'd ask. I have the part numbers, but a bit late now! LOL. My question is whether you completed the conversion, as I have the following questions: 1. where the holes in the front bulkhead already there for the master cylinder, or did you need to drill them? 2. Did you need to change the instrument cluster (manual does not have a gear position window). 3. Did you re-programm or replace the ECUs for the engine? 4. Did you need to replace the GFA module? 5. Did you change the engine to ECU harness, or simply not use the loom that went to the the TCU and fuses on the passenger side (LHD cars)?
  12. you could make the first part of the trans tunnel removable I guess; I'd probably make it out of aluminium and carbon laminate; mold in some aluminium strips and that way make the part a bolt in/out proposition... personally i'd just move the motor back same as the post by fluid motor union on their website.
  13. here is a picture with the CD changer panel behind the seat removed, showing how accessible the TCU isL
  14. to get the TCU out in a USA car- move the pax seat forward and wind it upright; remove 3 screws that holds the cover (which houses the CD changer) to the bulkhead, then lift that out of the way (and disconnect the connections to the CD changer). You can then see the TCU; unscrew it from its bracket, and disconnect the harness. 10-15min total. Alan key and a screwdriver is all you need (from memory).
  15. yes its probably reading a scale of 0-5V for he throttle position; and only using the fastest shift when 1. sport mode is on and 2. throtle is at 5V; so you could probably have that value changed to some lower number (under 5V). The question is, when you're not accelerating at maximum..... why do you want the "BANG" shift that feels its going to blow the car apart when you're at say, 50% throttle? Unless you're trying for max track/lap times, I don't get why you'd want such a violent shift on the street....
