rhyno Report post Posted March 15, 2014 The roadster is off to the body shop to get the front end repainted to get rid of 15 years of rock chips. After that I will get the car 3M'd. The street sweepers are out cleaning up the streets so that means that spring is here!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Life Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Holy Molly you've been a busy boy I have Fabspeed exhaust on my Roadster, well you heard the sound it is very aggressive when you hammer it, and great tones at about 2700 rpm. Read your post on the lift system, I had all 6 of mine done by the same shop, upgraded parts etc.. unfortunately 2 yrs later leak front system again . I think it's just a bad design from get go. The pressure that thing generates is intense, they just can't handle it. Glad to hear you're lovin the Roadster, it is by far (imo) the most insane looking car Lambo ever built, well besides the Aventador Roadster putting that one in my cross hairs one day.

LamboCARS Report post Posted April 25, 2014 Dual center mounted exhaust looks amazing ... and those SV wheels are the icing on the cake ... this is a stunningly beautiful Diablo Roadster ... for me personally I would convert it to MY1999 fixed headlights, but that's just me ... in the end it might be better to keep the lights 'factory original' but I love the MY1999 front.

SingleSeat Report post Posted April 26, 2014 I had new ducting for the brakes and new sway bar bushing installed. The list is getting shorter and should be ready for the road soon! Awhile ago, I was detailing the wheel wells in my car. First, the left side was a mess. I got into the right side and noticed it was noticeably cleaner. Then I saw that the ducting in the [cleaner] right side was cracked wide open in two places. Hmmmm. Go figure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyno Report post Posted May 17, 2014 My Diablo is all done!!! It took all winter to get her just perfect but I'm so happy I did. I took her for a nice spirited drive today and I had the biggest smile on my face. The Diablo is a really amazing car that is so much easier to drive then the Countach but is also so much more rewarding then a Gallardo! I think it is the best mix of old and new for a Lamborghini. Here is the list of things I had done: Custom floor mats by ExotiCARe Added Murci 670SV wheels Clear marker lights Installed new window lift module/ECU so drivers window would work Diff fluid changed Cooling system flushed and replaced all coolant hoses (11 different parts) Power steering fluid flush Changed tranny fluid Drivers door cable broke and was replaced with new cable Replaced both front wheel bearings and hub assembly New waterpump New thermostat New sway bar bushings and links New hood/trunk/door struts Install new hazard warning flasher switch New drive belt New diablo VT, Roadster and front emblem badges New HVAC control panel Rebuilt shocks by Jeff Lablonde New sound system with flip out deck and backup camera Repainted front end, engine deck lid and rear bumper New prop shaft seal Fixed a couple engine leaks New 12V port Powder coat rear grills Add ctek charger New pedal covers and repainted gas pedal Steering wheel horns didn't work, it's hard to fix the buttons as the leather is old and brittle. New wheels are very hard to find so I had buttons added to the back of the steering wheel to use my horn. I also changed the horns to Italian sounding ones, so much better! I had the interior fully detail and the center console repainted I also added Fabspeed exhaust that sounds and looks great but I'm extremely dissatisfied with the company! The exhaust was not even close to fitting, it had to be completely cut into pieces and re welded back together to get it to fit properly. The welder could not believe that they would sell a product that would fit so bad. The company that did the install and repairs has had many conversations with Fabspeed and they have said they will pay for the welding repairs but it has been months since the exhaust was installed and no reimbursement from Fabspeed. I have to say that I will NEVER deal with this company again and I'm the one that had to pay for the welding/repairs! I had an issue with Larini exhaust on my LP560 and they stepped up and fixed the problem, Larini is a great company to deal with and Fabspeed is......... Fabspeed can make it right if they want to but I'm not holding my breath This has been a great experience and the difference in the car is night and day. If anybody has lusted over a Diablo and is sitting on the fence about buying one, I can say BUY IT NOW!!! And a few pics......
