Thought I would put a few photos up and bits as they get done and also some people have been asking me for photos, the car was bought off Pete_rallye about a month ago now after him owning it for a few months and since owning it not much has been done due to me spending most of my free time on my China. I have managed to do a few things though. The car is very quick and incredibly nice to drive considering the power.

Heres how it looked when I bought it, Pete could of washed it Whistle

My driveway currently Cool

First up was to change the seats as I couldn't say no to my lovely phase 1 seats heres a comparison...

And the free sweeties Rich or Pete left me

So while the seats were out the sub went in

And my carbon fibre coil cover

Before I washed it I took a few pictures at my work

Black side repeaters went on and a wash and wax later and now looks nice and shiny Smile

Wash

Wax

And thats pretty much it, there is a few things that need sorting but they are only little things like fix the passenger window get new door strip thingys; fix remote locking and a bit of rust underneath. All in all I am very impressed with the car. Rich did very well Devil

Also I am going to put my 315mm AP caliper brake kit on to replace Ash's 310mm Brembo brake kit.

Thumbs up

Loving the camber on the rear but do you think its a bit much on a road car as it feels like the tyres are getting ripped apart? Could imagine it wears the tryes quicker?

Love it!

First pics of this famous Diablo I have seen on the forum Still looks as amazing as it did when I discovered it, as Rich got it in the Dec '07 issue of Redline when it was running 391.4BHP Smoke

One of my favourite mag features ever!

Glad to see it has gone to you Paul... I envy you somewhat now, bring it to Pugfest! Hyper

Edit: The 'Stuwie' sticker is a nice touch LOL

Long old summer as the car has spent a good month off the road due to a horrible wiring problem that took Lynx a good 7 hours to find. I got the AA to recover it there and Rich and Nick got to work fixing the poor thing. The problems were wiring to an Injector and something to do with the alturnator wiring. While it was there I had the gearbox oil changed as I pulled the driveshaft out while changing the hubs over.

I fitted my APs and they suit the Diablo very well.

The other small things that have been done are two new tyres on the rear and a service, I also fitted my boost gauge

Heres a few random photos of some parts

Sorry bit of a boring update. Not much more can be done on this car LOL

Was the symptoms I rang you about on the day it happened all them months ago. Just kept cutting out, would jump start and run for a few minutes but was struggling and running really rough. Key wouldnt start the car as if battery was dead. Battery light was constantly on too, think that was all the things up with it.
