Downdraft

ALBERTO, YOUR FLYWHEEL IS INSTALLED BACKWARDS!!!!

Diablo speedos reach 340 kph, the SE30 360 and some Jotas 400!

SE30 guages

Thad diablo is made up by three or four totalled cars - The engine is from a black Jota I think - some of the panels are aftermarket. May be worth more as a parts car but surly no 90,000 Euro +

It's in metal not fiberglass

See picts (this is from my DD tool set).

It is just shy of 8 inches, 7 inches and 8 tenths. It has a little round bump at 6/10s if an inch from the end. Will post some pictures soon. It was chromed but the chroming wears off. Hope this helps. Alex

I bought parts from Chad and prices were fair. Glad he is active on the other sites. Alex

looks like a DD with a 5000S wing

the side-skirts may better aerodyamics but the rounded underside is a key Gandini Countach design trait that after MY'86-87 was lost

yes Alberto, ........ but under that airbox is a row of downdraft webbers that just blows all other CT variants right out of the water! I actually like the big hump of the engine cover!

Make sure you don't wear those pants with zippers on the pockets! Looks great Alberto! Job well done!

Are 9 bulbs required for the full install of the 7 guages (do the tach and speedo require 2)?

I had a similar problem and the thin black wire was bad under one of those metal clips ... you can try with a tester . Hope that helps. Alex

SE30 wheels are NLA in Lamborghini ot through OZ, damage one and you have to go with 4 aftermrket

Hmmm tight squeeze when entering the garage

1,000 is a good idle rpm for my car, all the accessories that turn with the engine - water pump, alternator, A/C etc. seem to run well at that rotation.

Several tour busses have those same lights here in Italy!

I have seen more than one 1987 4 valve here in Europe w/o perforations (original interior) - they were "non Paratelli).

PARATELLI, ABOUT 9 YEARS AFTER INSTALLATION (AND ABOUT 15,000 KM).

Alberto, - there will always be different tonalities of red leather if you do not buy from the same production batch. Best you buy all the leather required to do everything you want in one go, then you can have the different components made at different times - again to take the tunnel out you need to take off the side panels and remoce both seats. IMO it would be better to do the job once, every time you take an interior component out there is a chance of scratching it.

How prices change, I had my seats and other interior parts done by Paratelli - only what was needed - it was before the introduction of the Euro - prices were still in Lira. I checked my notes and the prices 12 years ago were: Seats (with perforations) about 370 Euro each, that was with new foam and leather, the panel between the door and the seat was about 130 Euro (times 2) and the central tunnel was about 265 Euro. The dash around 750 Euro, including a new fiberglass gauge holder. Rugs (only for the cockpit) were about 150. I did all the work (with the exception of the dash). Total cost in 1999 was Euro 2,165.00 Then again Countaches were in the 35-45,000 Euro range and there were many to choose from In the summer after a drive you should always go over the seats with a damp cloth, Countaches get HOT inside and you tend to sweat on your back (minimum) the salt from your body can be quite aggressive on the leather.

Hey, in the future you can park the way I do, I back up and the last 4 feet or so I turn the car off and "pull" it back into place by hand - not very professional but safe.

I would go with the '88 even if it were more expensive!
