  1. I did the same thing. Those hydraulic switches are not so great.
  2. Hi guys. Let me put in my 2 cents worth. 1st issue. My 91 will die once in a while after reving the engine at a regular to slightly high operating temp. Not a big deal, She restarts without trouble. Our cars do not have what is called a "dashpot" . It is a device that keeps the throttle from slamming shut when you blip the throttle. Its kind of like a shock absorber for the throttle bodies. The sudden reduction in air flow can stall the engine. Again not a big deal. A little embarassing at times, but no harm. 2nd issue. The a/c compressor is always running in our cars. That is not exactly a good thing. I would strongly reccomend a small switch installed in the dash that activates a relay to supply power to the a/c clutch. Being able to shut the a/c compressor off in a near overheat situation can be a life saver. Not to mention, the compressor does not need to be on when it is 40 degrees outside. All it is doing is robbing power and freezeing up the evaporator. 3rd issue. Yes the fans come on as needed and independantly. However, I have wired mine to always be on when I turn the key on. It gets 115 degrees in Phoenix. You can never have too much cooling ability here.
  3. Not the best pictures, but you can see how similar they are. The obvious difference is the Toyota weatherstrip has a colored strip running down the side of it. It does make for a nice contrast.
  4. Not sure, but he really knew his shit. He was polite, professional, and answered every question I had. He never made me feel like I was wasting his time. I mean if he is good at what he does, it really doesn't matter if he is part of the "lucky sperm club".
  5. Abolfaz is correct. The air intake duct work is completely different. Looks very cool though.
  6. My 91 Diablo is black with snowcorn interior. For the door weatherstrips (the ones that run the entire circumference of the door opening) I used some Toyota weatherstrips. Pn#s 62311-48050-A0 and 62312-48050-A0. They required minimal trimming and are a close interior color match for snowcorn (beige). They are only $67 per door.
  7. The window failure has happened to me also on my 91. It was indeed a fuse in the passenger footwell.
  8. Here is my first ride I ever took in a Diablo. It was about 2 months before I pulled the trigger on my black one. I was at Lamborghini of Las Vegas. That salesman (kid) that is in the driver's seat was about 20 years old. Where was that job when I was 20?
  9. I remember how angry my boss was when the entire work force came out to see what was happening.
  10. The temp gauge will always read a little higher than actual on our cars. It is due to a significant voltage drop inside the instrument cluster. Since the gauge is electric, it is sensitive to a low voltage situation. I'll bet the voltage gauge in your dash only looks like about 12.8 volts when the car is fully warmed up. When in reality the alt is putting out 13.5 - 13.8 volts. There is a fix, I just need to remember where I found the link. As near as I could tell, the gauge will show about 5 deg cel higher than what the engine really was. This was discovered with a non contact laser thermometer.
