I Just Bought A FAKE Lamborghini Diablo That I'm Being FORCED To Sell

[@christopherhamilton5557]

Fun fact: Lamborghini actually used 300 ZX headlights in the Diablo’s with fixed lights. So using them on this kit car is actually OEM correct.

[@pbe6965]

From what I've heard they only did in the first ones, they were supposed to build their own lights but couldn't get the homologation in time so they used Z lights instead in the first batches and put a carbon strap over the Nissan markings.

This is the car that should be kept as it is waaaay better than any replica shown on any of these KZbinrs channels. I easily see the $100k required to build that car. No way you could duplicate that for $45k in 2023. No way!

The blue Lambo replica looks really good & the power train is very well suited to fit the part in this vehicle.

[@milescarter7803]

I'd like some more info, the only good reason I know of for flipping the trans upside down is to lower the engine closer to the ground. Why? Because the Porsche style boxes can run the ring gear from either side of the gearbox. So you don't have to flip it upside down to run it mid engine. It might be a dry sump v8 running a 8" or smaller multi plate clutch, which I would like to see.

I like this new channel! I would have no problem owning a kit car of an exotic probably less maintenance costs for sure. Unfortunately they are still well out of my price range. I have always lover the Ford GT40 and happened across an abandon kit car rolling chassis VW engine in an empty lot next to a 3 family house. I asked everyone in the building and no own owned it but said it was on the property of a set of garages behind the house. So I left a not on the windshield and checked back weekly. I would put a note every time it got wet etc. I never got a call. I decided to print out several notes on the garage doors. I never got a call. One day I saw a bright green ticket type thing on the windshield. It said the car had to be removed because it was considered abandoned. I tried and tried to find the owner but no luck even running the info like the inspection number VIN etc. Then I saw it being flat bedded off the property and stopped. It was the city taking it away with two or three other cars that were sitting there. I contacted the city and they were not even going to auction it it went right to a scrap yard. IMO I should have tried to find out who owned the property and made a deal with them and just had it towed myself because it ended up scrapped. Still am hopeful to find a project GT40 kit in my price range and it isn't a big range. LOL

[@h5mind373]

Yes, property ownership is a matter of public record. The owner probably passed with no next of kin or is in a rest home. Find out who pays the tax bill on the property and the rest is easy. For next time.

Diablo was a really, really good looking. I don't get why people make "replicas" that aren't more than remotely similar to the original. Yeah, that "Diablo" is down by a four cylinders compared to the real thing, but it has the looks, and it should be fast, too. Then you have Murcies with ½ or ⅓ of the cylinders, obviously wrong dimensions and none of the chassis or performance. Odd.
