  1. One of the most useful things that has ever been invented!!! Cant live without it! definitely worth paying the price of the lambo just for it! : )
  2. Can the e-gear clutch actually take the 1000bhp? does this mean that the clutch would wear out way quicker than a standard car? this is insane!!! sounds exciting! always thought that the TT were meant more for the manual ones.
  3. I have an '07 Gallardo Spyder with about 5000miles on it. I checked recently at the workshop and they told me that it still had 70% life remaining. However, I discovered that when driving hard in "sport" mode and shifting to 2nd gear at around 7000rpm, the clutch seems to slip and the rpm drops more than usual. This only happens from the 1st gear to 2nd gear and only in sports mode, it is fine for the rest of the gears. In normal mode, all is good. I spoke to the workshop guys about this and they also mentioned that a few other customers have complained about similar problems. And he claimed that it was "normal". He mentioned resetting the ecu and allowing to let the gearbox learn and program itself again could solve the problem. Anyone experienced this?
  4. ok i guess it smells more like the exhaust, as if a car or bike in front of me accelerated. Is it normal?
  5. I am driving an 07 Spyder. Under normal driving conditions, when i change gears at 3000rpm, it is perfectly fine. However, when i rev it to around 7000-8000rpm, i can smell a strong stench of petrol in my cabin. Not sure if it is the smell from the exhaust that is penetrating into the cabin. There have been no signs of leaks under my car whatsoever. All the hoses seem to be in place. Is this normal?
  6. It is an 07 spyder E-gear. The lambo mechanic dropped by today and he mentioned that the throttle body was probably dirty and required some cleaning.
  7. My car just stalled tonight while stationary. Then it had problems restarting. Manage to start it after about 3 times. Anyone had such experiences? what do you think is wrong?
  8. Cool thanks! Stuart also informed me that he will ship mine out next week. As long as they do a good job, it doesnt really matter to me if they take a few more days.
  9. i drive an 07 Gallardo spyder and i really think the exhaust sounds amazing enough. Just the right amount of sound when you want it, and quiet at low revs when you are driving back to your neighbourhood. Used tubis before on my ferrari and maseratis but they way too obstrusive. Sound penetrates through the cabin and handbrake vibrates. Unless its just a car that you bring out for joy rides and not a form of transport, then its perfectly fine!
  10. Can you please PM me? How can i contact u? Will take it off you for $50. I need it to be shipped to Singapore. Thanks! Let me know how i can make the payment.
  11. I think its wierd too. Counter intuitive. I find it strange that we also have to switch on the headlights from the centre console? Why not at the steering column???
  12. Is it a car cover? does it fit the gallardo perfectly including the mirrors? could i have a pic of it?
  13. ok so it doesnt fit the 06 gallardos onwards?
  14. Hi, Just noticed this problem recently as i hardly redlined my car, but tonight just as i was driving harder than usual, i dragged my first gear to 7500rpm and shifted (in sports mode) to 2nd gear. but it appeared that the 2nd gear seemed to slip and there was a slight lag before it engaged. Is there a problem with the clutch or the way i am changing it? The dealers have checked my clutch when i sent for service 3 weeks ago and there was about 70% remaining. Could it be possible that it happened cos i may have released the accelerator while the gears were changing? I will have to try it again. Btw, does anyone know what the rev limit is? 8200rpm?
