  1. I have found a great upgrade and lifetime warranty coil packs for the 6.0 Diablo and early Murcielago that others on this site and eBay pass off as their own and give no warranty. NAPA in the U.S. sell these coils for our cars. They are only $60 each and carry a LIFETIME warranty through them. And best of all, you can go to your local supplier or order online quickly with no wait. They are part #IC634. I have put them in my car and compared them with a certain WIPEOUT “upgraded“ coils and these are the identical ones used and those coils through that person are not warrantied. LIFETIME WARRANTY with these!
  2. After doing a brake job on my murci I noticed a bearing that was damaged and missing half its ball bearings. It connects the trans to the rear end through a mini driveshaft. Anyone change before? Dealer parts dept told me tech said that's engine out but it looks splined on both sides and if I removed the rear end it would slide back out to change. Any help or input would be great
  3. I will let you know once it is all tuned. Going with a piggy back system that has been proven overseas. I will fill u in with details once we know it works.
  4. I've had Napa Auto parts of all places turn lamborghini rotors in the past. But judging by yours warping so easily, there's a chance these were not virgins to the lathe...the minimum thickness is written right on rotor front. Use a micrometer and check to see what you have to play with...
  5. So I have a set of 2006 murcielago front calipers that I want to retro fit to my 2003. As you all know, the 2002-2003 murcielago coudnt stop if their lives depended on it. A simple upgrade seems to retro fit the brembo larger calipers from a 2004-2010 non cc to my vehicle but the mounting holes do not line up. One choice is to swap the knuckle out at a cost of around $1000 per side used give or take. My question is: Has anyone fit these to a 02-03 murci without the use of a newer knuckle? Can I use a piece of machined titanium or something really strong and thin to mount to the knuckle and then the caliper to that? Obviously it can't be very thick either because it will push the caliper to far from rotor. Thoughts?
  6. Yes, I was told the stock manifolds are a high flow great design and to change them was pointless. We removed and inspected them and determined that they were more than sufficient for the twin turbo platform. Have u heard otherwise? I'm all for any input good or bad. Thanks. Scott
  7. Man I wish! I only have the one. A 2003 murcielago with a LB Performance liberty walk kit before they were wide body. I just added the LP 640 taillights the other day.
  8. Build coming along. I can't wait until finished. Here's a few pics of progress along the way...turbo Joe is an amazing welder/fabricator! Hats off to him!
  9. Progress pics. Can't wait till fully built...
  10. White I chose is bianco Isis. Straight white. I love it so far. My seats are getting refurbished as we speak and obviously a few other goodies. The green came out like factory. I only know because I painted a friends car at the same time with my same paint. The red chrome was a wrap. I loved it, day or night it shined! I will post more pics when completed. This shows my green and the factory green close together.
  11. Not sure if I added the pic of the many changes my car has gone through. Almost 5 years and on its 4th skin molting lol
  12. I appreceiate the chime in and help. The clutch will be an issue and will be addressed. I just finished reading an unfortunate post between you and another member and glad to see you are helpful to those that aren't even a customer of yours. Im sure I'll have other questions and quirks come up but look forward to being part of the TT community in general. Racing won't be in my future but long trips and fun times await!
  13. Just asking for my own knowledge, but will driving with traction off alleviate any front diff breakdown or does the tire size deviation from stock kill it anyway. I'm 2wd so doesn't effect me either way as you know but curious if that's what killed my diff. I ALWAYS drive with traction off for the record. Always have, always will...
  14. So I have a 2003 Murcielago. Ive owned it for almost five years now and get bored quite often as my pic of color changes and wraps will show. So I decided to TT it after the guys at Straightline Performance in Joliet have done a few crazy builds for me in the past. We were putting off doing the mod to my murci until we got all the facts about what the stock block can hold, what the rear end can hold, and who can tune once complete. So we solved the issues out and now have commenced the work. I agree we are keeping boost levels moderately low and staying well within 3 digit hp range. Any input or help along the way is appreciated!!!
  15. I'm currently having my Murcielago twin turbo'd and was wondering if anyone owns one on here. Looking for tips and pointers. I drive my cars so it will be rallied and cross countried just the same as it has been under my care for the last four years...
  16. Forgot to give a big shot out to whiteout for the tune up upgrades! Car runs like new with 80,000+ miles
  17. This was my problem...the brass sleeve had a burr
  18. For sure CTJ. I'll do something on my computer at work tomorrow. I can't seem to upload pics from my phone
  19. I guess I never gave it any thought about valve clearances. I treat my murci like any other car. Change the oil, keep up with the fluids and fix only what breaks. I might be wrong to go about it this way but 80,000+ miles has to show that minimum invasive repairs are the way to go. Maybe when a clutch is finally needed and engine is out I'll have engine gone through but I believe in leaving well enough alone. Car was built strong and I have no complaints. Except for when I seen that my broken ashtray lid I ordered was out of an Audi A6 I could have got for free at the local boneyard lol. I'll try and post pics from my computer at work tomorrow though
  20. Mine is a 2003 manual trans. My clutch was last changed at 52,000 miles and it's still going strong. I maintain my vehicle at my Collision shop so cost stays low. When I purchased my car with 60,000 miles on it I had a stack of dealer receipts showing various work performed. I felt confident in the service history and I keep good records myself. I've removed my cats because one had gone bad, fixed my front lift system, converted it to rear wheel drive, converted it to push button start, replaced a couple O2 sensors, fixed a broken window regulator, along with repairing my shifter linkage myself. I probably won't sell this car but if I did I know that my vehicle with miles is as good or possibly even better than those with low miles and potential problems to come. I wouldn't ever recommend a high mile exotic to anyone that is not mechanically inclined. And ask anyone that drives with me, I don't drive it like it's going to break. I push the car so I know it's strong. I finished my last major service with a set of Whiteout coils and my car came screaming back to life! I'll hopefully post pics here soon. Can't figure out how to make them a smaller file size yet.
  21. Actually I was able to remove the shifter assembly without removing the transmission. Took a bit of creativity to get to the top two front trans mount bolts but was worth the time savings. My car has been converted to 2-wheel drive already so the front wheel drive components were not there to slow me down
  22. I purchased my car from Lamborghini Chicago pearl yellow, immediately painted it verde ithaca, then wrapped it chrome red, now I'm going to a factory white with a few minor mods here and there. I can't sit still lol. I get bored too easily and it's cheaper than buying a new car each time. I also removed interior which is getting redone as well. Adding a few huracan style seat stiching to update it as well
