Nope haven’t owned an LP400 yet

Thanks for the positive support bro. The aventador is heavy but it actually handles very well. It’s not as nimble as the Huracan but does very well for what it weighs. I’ll get some videos of it doing donuts and power slides. It’s very well controlled even with the extra power I’ve added to it. Nobody has done it because yes it can get out of control easily as it is a v12. But then again some people still crash with it in awd lol

Try this bro

Just like every one of my other Lambo’s, I went RWD again. As usual it drives better overall. Higher end feels faster and of course the ability to do perfect donuts lol Hasn’t tripped any warning lights or anything either. Feels more planted than my rwd LP640 too 01C93E10_7E1D_4379_9C01_6F7E5CD1E55A.MOV

Thanks for building such a beast Kevin! Currently undergoing some cosmetic mods, will post some pics/vids when I get more! Jorge's X version is just crazy, by far the fastest in Canada. This is a GREAT cruiser but can still hurt some feelings. These mufflers are actually fairly quiet when you need to be. With the 3.5" piping it has a nice deep tone, and just screams on the top end. Drove it on some hot days and car was rock solid. For anyone on the fence don't hesitate!

Was wondering if I could convert the aventador to rwd just like my old murci. Has anyone done this or is it impossible to do?

what did it dyno at?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but where do you check the hydraulic fluid? Thanks

Now that's an epic car! What a color!

Update: Had the vehicle towed to Calgary. Jarrod from Lambo service called to update me that the vehicle arrived yesterday, and would be looked at next day. That's great service, as I know there is appointments ahead of me. He's been a very nice person to deal with so far and is very straight forward. The sales dept has always been great from lambo vancouver so I hope service is the same. As far as maintenance, the gear oil has always been changed every year, as well all fluids. Vehicle was checked today, looks like the rear differential is done for. There are metal fragments in the fluid. Really sucks! Service says they have NEVER seen this happen before. They called Lambo Vancouver and this has never happened before there. Taking it apart it, appears there is no wear! No signs that anything was going to break, everything looked mint. Service says it makes no sense and don't know why this happened. Generally if a diff goes, there is massive whine, smells, and you WOULD know. There has not been a single noise/smell. Car was not driven hard at all since servicing, driven back from Calgary (300km), to golfing, then sold to me. From what I know these transmissions are pretty bulletproof unless you go stage 3+ TT. Aftermarket wheels would not affect the rear diff, and if so there would be wear and signs. At this point I would like service to investigate further on Monday. I would like to know what fluid was used, as it may be the wrong type (3 pedal car). I can't think of any reasons why it would go, especially driving like a grandpa! Does anyone have any ideas? I can say that they have been fantastic to deal with so far, I just want my car back on the road! Very sad and frustrating to have this happen so soon. And yes, would love to have a UGR build someday! I've driven a few heffner cars and cannot imagine how fun a built UGR car would be. Stage 3 with race heads + convertible sounds amazing!!

I have PMed a mod to have thread title changed to Transmission issue. I've dealt with the team on a few occasions at Vancouver and they were fantastic. When the vehicle was in for service it was checked over, had all the fluids changed and shocks. That was what they could find. I'm mainly just frustrated and wanted to vent. Thanks for understanding guys. No point in speculating until they receive the vehicle. Transport is booked today. Will keep everyone posted. I also really hope to get it sorted soon. I am a lambo guy through and through and love the brand.

I'm booking transport right away and car will be there this week. Hopefully have an update for you guys by next week. I've pmed a mod to change thread title. Yeah I'm just so frustrated. Usually an addition to the stable is exciting, this sure isn't! Thanks guys.

I posted it as I was pretty upset. I don't mean to bash them, otherwise I wouldn't be sending the car to them. I've bought from them before and they were great. I'm hoping for similar treatment. I'm sending it to them shortly to get it diagnosed. I just want it dealt with professionally. What if the fluids weren't changed properly? I'll change the thread title. If you feel it's unjustified then please delete thread. I'll post an update when I hear the final results. Edit: I can't seem to change the title. Sorry guys not exactly in the right frame of mind. Thanks for trying to understand.

Yes, absolutely I am sending the car down for them to check it out. It's not a thread to bash them, more of a vent. I hope they take care of me! I purchased it privately, I didn't ppi as it literally was in lambo within 1000km. It was completely checked over at that time. Lessons! I would still think if car is within a small time frame it's warranty? I know that complicates it slightly but doesn't change that it was serviced there. Car has aftermarket wheels, they are specced proper so no issues with differential etc. Thanks guys I'm definitely sad about it. I've heard tons of great things about Roy but haven't gotten a chance to buy from him yet!

Hey guys, just wanted to share my sad story. Mods: I'm unsure of which section this should be in, please move to your liking. Just picked up a Gallardo Spyder 10 days ago, recently serviced within 1000km. I was so excited as it was a rare 3 pedal car, and all up to date on servicing. Included is a copy of the bill (fluids, front shocks, misc) 12k! I've owned it for 250km and it broke down near the grocery store! How embarrassing! I took off normally in 1st gear, and heard a nice clunk at 3500rpm so coasted to a stop. Car was NOT launched, traction control was on. Tried pushing the car in neutral and she would move, but made rattling noises going forwards or backwards. Noises came from the transmission/diff. Tried engaging the clutch and it would seem to grab then not go anywhere. I promptly shut the car down and towed it back to a hoist. I did a visual inspection and there are zero leaks. My mechanic checked the driveshaft/suspension and all was well. Car starts fine and hydraulic front works. So now it is worse case scenario...drivetrain! Car was driving perfectly with no clutch slip at all, what do you guys think the issue could be? My initial thoughts are not having enough transmission fluid when it was in for service, I'm having the car transported back to Lambo of Calgary to diagnose the issue. Would something like this be covered if it was their mistake? They are of course saying it couldn't be them. I will keep everyone updated with the full diagnosis. I've included pictures of when I picked her up, the service bill and a sad picture on the hoist. I'm so choked, I've had so many manual cars and never an issue! Thanks for listening guys.

holy shit that hurts

I have a loc exhaust i'll sell for 1900

congrats, how do you like the exhaust note compared to the 1st gen?

I use 0W40 Mobil. I also run that in the Gallardo.

Sounds like Vancouver Lamborghini?

can't wait to see the results.. SV's make me drool.. especially a white TT. What kind of clutch are you putting in?

Car has an interesting history. That's probably why it's been on sale for so long.

That button is the rear window for spyders only. You can open it while the top is still up.

Rare manual! That vi aventador looks awesome. Stg 3 ttsl is a dream come true. Enjoy!
