Lambofan35

Good decision! I've been to the Supra world, and the Porsche world, and GT-Rs and now I'm in the same mind set with my UGR GTT. Funny thing is that Peter has been through a very similar path. Smart minds think alike.

Disconnect and remove most of the cables except the motor itself which bolts to the hatch and will still think it's working. It won't throw a fault in the car if it's still connected. The problem I believe is that some hatchs have provisions for the motor and some don't. This is something you need pictures to understand. I'll try to get some from my setup later.

I've posted stuff on this board since getting this car but haven't posted the request in here. Please list me as a owner

Looks good, almost ready to get going. Your welcome for the idea on the diffuser and slots I did my slots yesterday too.

The interior is pretty cool as its a 06 Gallardo SE so its Suede, perforated black leather and orange leather wrapped from the factory. I'm working on some new suede carbon fiber seats as well soon. It actually has a Carbon Fiber SuperLeggera Rear hatch with mesh replacing the plexiglass. The mesh matches the Lamborghini hexagon pattern as well. See picture below. It allows the heat to escape pretty good I thought. So this weekend I decided to put in this GROM VAG-D unit ($70) It allows a Ipod/Iphone to play through the CD changer. They really didn't know if it was going to work on a Lambo but luckily Gianca a buddy of mine had tried it before and knew it would work on a Gallardo. Short install instructions: 1-Pry up on center console from rear with soft plastic tool or plastic knife 2-Unplug electrical connections on center console 3-Pull straight back on lower left and right side of piece around A/C, it just pops out with a couple of clips. 4-Pull straight back on center electrical unit below the radio, pull hard and firm. It just pops out with a couple of clips. 5-Get 4 audi radio keys, pop them in the 4 corners of the radio where there is a little slot. Reach your hand from the bottom of the radio and push straight out. 6-DO NOT UNPLUG RADIO except for BLUE plug which is the CD changer in the back of the radio 7-Run the wires for the GROM unit behind the radio out by the center console, plug in the GROM unit into where the BLUE plug use to go. 8-Ground the GROM unit to the radio with one of the factory phillips screw on the back of the radio by unscrewing, wrapping the little black wire and screwing back in the little screw to the back of the radio. 9-3M double sticky tape on the back of the GROM unit and push it on top of the black rubber under the center console I originally bought the unit with an option for a 3.5mm AUX input to use on any phone but I decided to buy the Iphone cord for an additional $25 or so. I bought an additional blutooth adapter from GROM as well ($50), its so sick!! It plays music over bluetooth and is a handsfree phone system through the factory radio. Basically I can leave the phone plugged in and it works or leave it in my pocket and it works the same as well. It came with a microphone which I mounted next to the radio for a quick install as I was running out of time. When I hardwire the radar detector through the headliner, I'll run the microphone to the top of the windshield as well. This is probably the cheapest most effective modification on the car and can be done in 15-20 minutes if your good.

Not sure about the tail light and camera but the 04-08 versions do. You will need the SL camera bracket for the SL wing and will most likely use the wiring from you car for this wing.

Put it this way. I have more precision turbos on various cars than 99% of this board. I could use any turbo out there in my builds as I'm just a regular car guy and I choose Precision most of the time due to: Billet Wheels, simple design, price, lots of options available, warranty and they just work. I've had them replace a turbo that was just smoking because of the lack of oil drain without any problems. I was going to try a EFR Borg Warner turbo a couple months back but its not tried and tested enough for the application I wanted to use it on. I'm sure it would of worked great but wasn't sure on the complications that may come down the road (internal wastegate and BOV big enough?). Why reinvent the wheel if precision wheels like 40psi+

Heat rises so I'm not worried about the bottom opening helping at all. Every single car high end sports car I've had has had a flat bottom including the Gallardo but Lambo didn't add this piece until sometime during the new LP chassis so that's why I modified it. I used the sport cups as I love Michelin and they hook great but not cheap= $2k The car had Some custom center lug HRE wheels in 19/20 setup so instead of making custom wheels again I just wanted to try to see if this setup would work, and it seems to.

Stiffer springs as before it felt like an airplane on the highway if I hit it with a lot of power. I figured out it needs two things, a slight rake to the front so the nose is a little lower and the rear springs need to be stiffer on GTT cars. I honestly could have gone 14K in the rear but this is what other people (SP Engineering) used before. Rear undertray is definitely better for aero at high speeds. It has a couple NACA ducts in it from the factory which in my case flow towards the rear Diff/Tranny area and exit around the rear diff opening. Cooling?-I checked with a couple tuners and they said they if they TT a car that has a diffuser like this on it, they put it back on after they TT it. I've logged a little bit of driving in 100-108 degree weather last week in stop and go, driving on the highway, idling, etc... My coolant temps stay at 90-95 and settle at 90 with the car idling for a minute or so. Keep in mind I have an open mesh hatch to let the heat escape the engine bay as well. Otherwise I've seen stuff breakdown or melt, like the carbon engine panels from high heat. In my opinion these TT cars need to let the heat out as much as possible and I see no downside to this diffuser.

So I figured I should post some pictures of this car since I've had it for a couple months and finished a around of upgrades. I purchased the car turn key ready to roll but being that I'm obessive compulsive I couldn't leave great alone and decided I wanted to do some mods. The car was originally built by a very well known member on here (he can chime in if he wants) who ended up with a full Stage 3 Underground Racing TT build. He also changed the following to FULL CABRON parts (front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, rear hatch lid, wide front fenders, wide rear fenders). He spared no expense thats for sure. I just wanted a little different flavor on a couple things. First thing I did as soon as I got it off the truck was I took FikseGTS who also has a GTT out for a ride. I needed someone to show me how to actually drive this thing properly safe. Which considering I only have a couple hundred miles on it now, I'm still not the best at timing the shifts perfectly and need to drive it some more. Theres a thread of FikseGTS car and this car playing around the other day, I think we will get some better runs next time without anyone getting the hit. Gianca also manage to meet up with us the first night. After seeing my car on the road, he decided to sell his Superleggera and buy a GTT as well...good job man! Initially I drove it a couple days and was then ready to throw it on the lift for while I did some mods which took longer than I expected....as usual. I'm now working on getting some more seat time and some vbox times on Race Gas to see what this thing will actually do. Mods I did: -Changed Oil and filter -Changed Rear Transmission fluid to Redline MTL -Changed Front Diff fluid to Redline 75w90 Gear Oil -Changed Springs to newer lighter technology springs 10K front and 12K rear -Changed Black with Orange Pin Stripe HRE wheels to All Black -Added 2011 Superleggera Rear Engine Diffuser (I came up with the idea but Gianca cut it to fit my car) -Changed the Front inner fender liners to some new custom ones I fabricated to give a lot MORE clearance in the front -Bleed the brakes with ATE Racing Blue Brake Fluid -Replaced the battery -Added Expel Clear Bra on: Front bumper, complete fenders, side skirts, rear tire well -Added OEM Lamborghini Superleggera Carbon Wing and Brake light -Changed bulps to LED's -Replaced the Michelin PS2 tires to Michelin Pilot Sport Cup N1 235/35/19 and 315/25/20 The first couple pictures show what it use to look like... This is how it sits after I got it...

Whats funny is some friends who live close by the London Olympics in the UK and have been trying to buy tickets since they allowed the UK to have first shot and....All they could get were some silly expensive tickets to some weird obsecure event. They kept trying to buy them and they were told they weren't for sale or sold out. Someone messed up on these ticket sales.

We will grab the vbox next time as well. Both of us who have the cars drive them like they are supposed to be driven. We also take care of them very well. They aren't just show cars that's for sure.

Our good buddy who filmed it, was a little off in the description, lol. So we went for a little drive on the street (ugr is me). Heffner did 871 on all wheel drive dyno yesterday and I didnt get a chance to drop the under engine body diffuser to put mine up on the dyno. Heffner runs 17psi all gears and is heavier and manual. Long 240mpg gears. Both had passengers. First run was a dicking around run, heffner in 2nd and ugr was in 3rd. Heffner brake boosted and jumped, ugr just followed. UGR switched map from 6psi IN ALL GEARS (lol) to go to boost by gear on 93 octane. Which goes from 6psi up to 14psi in higher gears. Map 2 of 4 with Each being higher boost. Better run was when we went higher speeds and stayed in it even though UGR car didn't brake boost. Both are pretty quick cars but I think you can ask drivers of both and they would agree that the UGR car is faster if in same conditions with both cars. Wth that being said, driver of the yellow heffner car is a better driver then I am as I hit fuel cut several times like as I just don't have enough time driving this car yet. We will grab some go pros next time and do it right. There is some more footage from inside the cars floating around as well on someone's phone.

Anyone have details on the 7 speed DCT transmission, I wonder if that would fit in a gallardo?

Not so sure about going to see that movie tonight. I'm hoping the higher end movie theater runs less risk. How many of you want to discuss leaving guns in your cars?

Thats my for sale ad in xxx as well as I listed in the classifieds here porter edit: no

Can't hide anything from lambopower. I was trying to hide my dark side from here, lol.

And the work is impressive now! Keep up the good work.

IMSA Carbon/Kevlar wing sounds like what your looking for I just listed mine for sale. Check it out. http://www.lambopower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63671

He got his skills from hanging out in the parking lot at the performance shop where I use to work on cars at! He would ask questions and then just go do it in the parking lot, lol.

What seats are you changing them with?

The egear pump it self is cheap, I have a new one in the box if you need it. I'll sell it to you at my cost if you need it, don't sweat this. I'll bet the line and new fittings might be more.

This thread could get a lot of views if we can get the updates copied over to this thread.

Yes you can use those sizes no problem with the 305 on stock wheels. I'm trying out this week 315/25/20 and 245/35/19 with Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on some HRE wheels to see if these will work well.

Good explanation Stuartrsc. I plan on trying to purchase some parts from you in the future.
