Downdraft

Regarding the instrument cluster illumination, just switch to LED bulbs, no mods required. Difference is literally "night and day"!

The link is not for an SE30 steering wheel. The SE30 Steering Wheel is not circular but has a flat spot on the bottom.

Some opt for the easy/quick fix - to fill the fracks with an apoxy which permits a minimum of movement and paint. Since most Diablo drives use the remote the keys will not scratch.

Are you installing a factory Lambo spare part? I have noticed that about 95% of Diablos have this problem regarding cracking (not sure about the 6.0). I had spoken to the Imperiale body shop (Mirandola Italy) and they said that the regulation of the button is not the easiest thing to do. Very interesting to hear that if it is an original part if the cracks re-appear.

I do not like this color combo and there is too much yellow – like the wheels and gauges. I personally prefer the Jota to the GT. Incredible how the market can change so quickly, today any Countach is worth more than this Jota.

I do not know the provenance, however highly probable a Euro car - this Dubai Diablo seems even more damaged http://www.wreckedexotics.com/accident/861?c=mo42 http://www.wreckedexotics.com/accident/860?c=mo42 http://www.wreckedexotics.com/accident/862?c=mo42

Yes, H. Pagani was in charge of the SE30 project and I believe it was the first Lambo to use this material. Front and rear bumpers, side skirts, front hood and slated engine bay cover. Much better than the F40 quality. I collect any SE30 only parts - I have the small side glass, the 4 point blue seat belts with 30th pads, an original SE30 steering wheel with center, new rubber front spoiler lip, the front flash lights (both sets) a complete set of SE30 rims, complete with center caps and titanium bolts, the CF fins on the side rockers, the SE 30th script, and a few other odds and ends. I did “pass” on the bumpers, rear quarter panel, and broken rim ..….

Imperiale could repair it in a correct manner using a carbon paste

Hi Emilio, I have access front/rear set of SE30 bumpers- they do require a bit of TLC though Alex

here are about 10 pictures .... someone will get screwed ............... http://www.wreckedexotics.com/accident/9778?c=ca13

Don't walk away ........................... RUN AWAY!

For a 1993 intro with all that carbon was a good 10 years ahead of its time – Miura look engine cover, the 17 inch front and 18 inch one piece mag wheels and mag engine components, a 7.5 kg lightened crank , titanium lug nuts, 3 different traction control settings or total exclusion, three settings rear sway bars that can be adjusted on the fly, adjustable flap of the rear wing, the slanted front nose topped off with an Alcantara interior set the SE30 apart from all other Diablos. I agree that also the SV is an amazing machine -

I had the "Man" sign my then car directly!

The "Stop Sign" painters had a little too much vino during lunch

Here are a few of my old pics with Ferrucio first signing my car then signing books on my roof!

I am biased also

Lamborghini Saudi spec cars have addtional filters for sand in the air. Euro cars may suffer in such an environment.

The “complete” carbed sound is also that of the intake and not only the exhaust. I can assure you that from 4,700 to 7,500 RPM in a DD the sound from inside the cabin truly becomes menacing - the suction of the carbs and open Ansa together is unique. Having driven several injected QV cars I must say that they are very fast – under hard acceleration the power curve is much different though – injection is much more fluid, while the carbed DD is defiantly brutal. The carbed DD actually feels faster than what it is – if you go through the first 3 gears in an SE30 Diablo which has a 0 to 100 KPH time of about 1 second less ……… it does not “seem” faster than the CT (but then once to hit 4th and 5th it’s a totally different story) The one big advantage with the injection CT is that you can actually see the road behind you in the rear view mirror rather than only the big Kevlar composite hump! The DD engine is the last of a legacy IMO.

The lip under the door sill should be flat black - also near the radiator vent - slanting down. A very common mistake when repainting a Countach.

All the ones I have seen in Italy were black

I was just kidding - Alberto is a great guy - he has a passion for getting things done properly - in the end it's a great feeling - I know. Personally I think it is best to purchase "Lambo collector cars" when they are between 13 and 16 years old - and soon after that purchase all the spares necessary - both for the restoration and also for maintenance. At this point in time the factory has 99% of the parts readily available. When a car is 25 + yrs old - in the case of Alberto many pieces are not available and/or the new generation replacements do not match the original. Moreover this is when the model hits it’s lowest point – and more importantly one can choose which variant to choose from. Alberto has even been able to help me out a few times! Just recently with the curved tach and speedo needles!
