Andrew R. Report post Posted March 1, 2005 Guys, anyone have an idea whether this would bolt right up or not? Thinking of upgrading to the newer style rear grill because of how it looks and the heat damage done to the badges and reverse lights. I guess I would delete the reverse lights and add the chrome badges as well. Good idea, bad idea? Would it work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Diablo Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Andrew - I was thinking the exact same thing for my car.... Or to build one. Excuse the terminology, I'm a former FCar guy, but it's similar to a challenge grill. Let's out more heat and looks better. Yeah, the back up light would have to go and the bull in the center looks great. I'll start trying to source one and see if I can get a price break if I buy 2... would appreciate you doing same. You may have to do some real minor mods to make it fit. I removed my old one for cleaning a few weeks back and it's not a deal.

Lamborghinikid Report post Posted March 6, 2005 What year did that grill come out? I am not 100 percent positive but that car looks like a 97 or 98 roadster ? The Roadster itself was introduced in 96 . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted March 6, 2005 I think the Roadster grill is ugly. Go SV grill or Diablo Gt grill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK90077 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 Gt grill is the way to go. its about $300 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LamboJay Report post Posted March 11, 2005 I could swear that the millennium roadsters were actually titled as 99's and that only the 2 yellow euro mr's were 00's. But I could be completly wrong :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew R. Report post Posted March 11, 2005 Besides the looks and all that... I wonder if much more heat can pass through that grill, since the whole space is grill instead of the painted frame.... just wondering. I still cant believe how hot that air is coming from that rear grill even after the car has sat for a bit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Diablo Report post Posted March 12, 2005 Andrew - that's because the cats sit right there.... dump them and go with test pipes or hollowed out cats... when it comes to smog check time it only takes about an hour (do it yourself) to swap back to cats. Also the stock muffler weighs more than my boat anchor... a tubi will shave about 30 pounds off the weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Diablo Report post Posted March 12, 2005 What about a 6.0 like Whart's car (hope he does not mind I used the pix) This would be a piece of cake to make if I had a stock old one to work with... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted March 12, 2005 A good exhaust sytem will save alot more than 30pds, also 6.0 will not work, it is different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Diablo Report post Posted March 13, 2005 Allan, I say 30lb to be conservative - I know because I did it myself. Actually the stock one weighs closer to 50lb (or felt like it), then account for about 15 pounds for the Tubi and the net difference is around 35 or so. I was expecting the usual cooler running, more hp, more sound results...what really surprised me was the improvement in throttle response... very nice.
