Its nice to see car guys talk about what they love and what their plans are for the projects they are working on. Well done. Its about the journey. To everyone who is picking apart the car , build one then comment.
To me personally The 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster is the most beautiful car ever build replica or not this car is a rolling work of art. Like the Mona Lisa of cars. I'm serious.!
With the exception of some of the body fit and slight warping I think it looks good overall. I really like the color. The biggest negative is the wheels.
That's a really nice car and the fact it has the car lift air ride is amazing.
Always been my fav car. I remember about 20 years ago I dreamed about this kit and wanted it so bad. I saved up thousands to get it one day, I was only like 12. Good times.
My hats off to you, your car and this channel!! Your Lambo looks and sounds great! I enjoy watching your vids/interviews involving Lambo’s and replicas! I’m finishing up an I.F.G. Lambo Diablo 6.0 replica w/LT1 Vette V8. Thnx again. ✌🏽
Nice thanks, love to see you car. Share it with me at lamborghinicountachreplica@gmail.com
It’s definitely a Labour of love building a car from scratch I’m 1 and a half years into building my countach but I think I will appreciate the car more than if I just bought somebody else’s. It’s a lovely Diablo you have 👍
Agree Vic's is nice, following your build, maybe on day we can share rides, that's a long swim across the pond for me 🇨🇦😉
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs I have been watching your videos over the last couple of years. I couldn’t believe you nearly sold your countach 🙈 . You very know we mite just do that one day 😉. Have you seen my video about the guy that made are cars possible that he hired a real countach back in 1985 ? If you haven’t it’s worth watching and talking to him after all he is a living legend not to many of them left in the world
I did watch, cool stuff, there are two similar stories on this side of the pond but I'm not sure they will ever get told until the ones that pulled it off are pushing up daisies😉
I have driven a real Diablo SV, and they are really harsh, analog, and brutal! A lot of vibration and overall an insane car. I'm sure that if you somehow snuck a crazy engine in this thing, it wouldn't be that far off.
Thanks for watch'n
Beautiful car but get different rims for it
This came from my hometown and I've never seen it at any of the shows.
Definitely needs the v12 AMG engine n gearbox
Thanks for watch'n
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customsor BMW V12 OR Dodge Viper V10
is it John's from Ajax who builds it??? I've been there a few times. I and Jim saw the first build,. the kid who bought it had a lot of troubles,. after he sold it and bought LS7 Camaro. there's a bunch giveaway that's Kit on Fiero without looking under the hood. but it's nice. enjoy the ride
Another sweet ride!
My two cents. Put a simple glass pack on a 3.1 V6 and be amazed by how good it sounds. And at the improved fuel economy and performance. I imagine on a 3.8 it would be even better.
Agree Thanks for watch'n
The 3.8 is a BUICK engine, not a Pontiac!
Pontiac , Buick same company. =)
Looks like a Corey Davis kit. Very close to the DnR bodies.
That's a Corey Davis kit for sure. If you are familiar with the different kit manufacturers products back in the day, there are some tell tail indications
Thanks I good to know, I did not spend a lot of time studying the Diablo kits.
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs I was shopping around a few years back and learned a lot. I got one hanging from the ceiling in my garage waiting for some spare time. Missed out on a 6.0 naerc one at an auction...
Wish I had gotten that one
Goes for a lot of people, so many after cars that in the past went for very little. Some have been waiting years....at least you have a body👍
Wow nice. I have been seeing this car on the forums for years.
Noticed a slick old Fierro at a dealership that advertised with us. Asked about it and they had either bought it at a sale or taken it in on trade. Wildwood brakes, Eibach suspension. 18" expensive wheels. They couldn't get engine cover open but told me that it had a Northstar caddy engine in it. They would sell me some things at what they had it em. $4500. I was in. Cranked it up. Instantly knew...no Northstar. Told em, not really car guys, they just sold em, "may be a Cadillac engine but ain't no Northstar". Finally got hatch up. Yep, Cadillac boat anchor engine.
Dude that built it was using money that he embezzled from company he worked for so spared no expense. EXCEPT he got screwed on the engine. Was supposed to be the Northstar. Wuda been ultimate sleeper. Well, after quieting it down a bit. Sounded like loud GT Mustang. Ran ok but nothing like a Northstar would have.
Bought it anyway. Great paint, cold air, ran cool so really too good to cut and stretch for Lambo kit. So traded it for bought half of cost to build my 40x60x13 garage. I did ok.
BTW, this guys kit car looked great but did nothing to dress up engine bay plus there are several places that will drop a LS Vette engine or Northstar in there and done right. At least be able to kinda back up the look. My opinion and have the real thing but kits are still cool done right. L8r
I agree on the engine the 3.8 is ideal for the Fiero but for a Lambo replica they could do better for sure.
@@warrenelyk2593Preciate the read and reply. Had tune up and complete service on an '09 Gallardo....over $6,000. Just rwd so a kit with the right setup could hang with it and possibly kick it's butttt. Had a '78 Countach, last year of carburetors and no wing or fender flairs. Still wicked cool and ahead of it's time. Closest Lamborghini dealer was in Atlanta and entry fee was a thousand dollars. The complete service, cam belts, adjust valves and all the rest in early '80's was in the thousands. Heavy hit back then. Shuda, cuda, wuda kept it and several other "exotics" but cudn't stand the upkeep plus didn't have garage space for all of em. So went back to old, and new, Corvettes. Of course the new Vette is just a Ferrari in disguise. Chevrolet spent millions to get exhaust so it doesn't sound like a Ferrari as engine is a copy also. So what is first thing new owners change? Exhaust so it sounds like a Ferrari. Doubt i ever own one unless someone wants to trade for a 1967 black Tri-Power coupe. Only 32 black Tri-Power coupes made. Hagerty sez they can only account for 5 remaining ones. This has bout 800hp. Not perfect original but doable. Thanks again.
Looks slightly warped and not like the real deal.
Just a curios question. It's a replica and how did he manage to get a license plate and it's legal to drive with insurance covered. Can anyone explain?
No different than a hot rod or a custom built car. Once inspected a vin is created for the car so insurance etc... can cover the car.
@@Replicas_Kits_or_CustomsIf the tub remains the same so the VIN stays with the car and is still registered as a Fiero.
This car is very awesome 👏🏻 nice 👍 I have a same car and still working on the door glass hope i will get done by the end this year
Love to see it send me an email lamborghinicountachreplica@gmail.com
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs ok I will do video send to you hope you like it or you can go to my RUclips channel TM MUSTANG see it
No worries just subscribed to your channel, will have a look
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs thanks i will do the same and please let me no if you have any new idea, i love to work on mustang and lambo that is my dreams
first side view of this Diablo...the rear tires/wheels are off.
I noticed that as well but this looks better as the wheels aren't tucked in as much as a diablo.
@@warrenelyk2593 agreed but still.. off..
@@warrenelyk2593 in fact ,it"s not that bad ,it would need a slightly bigger rim (than the front)...20" to 21"( 1/2 inches) bigger than the front.., and try a couple different tire size to see what would fit perfectly...otherwise the build is very well made...
Only 2% of kit get built, because their wives don't allow the project to move forward
lol Thanks for watch'n
Looks better then a original one
In some aspects I agree
That’s nice. I’d buy it lol
Lovely
Fiberglass work shop Wer is it I looked on line o cannot find it can you help me please
We don't think they are in business anymore.
Lamborghini Kit cars/replica are nice to look at but driving one is a whole different thing. I drove a Diablo VT kit car and I must say it really looked like the real thing but it drove like a go kart/ poorly. As I picked up speed everything sounded like it was going to fall apart. Again the kit was build to with stand bumps and sorta high speed but the sound and noise said a different thing. My personal opinion in terms of buying one you only buying the looks and the attention. At the end of the day it's still a kit car and chance are you will get tired just driving the thing. As for this kit car you can tell some parts of the car is a bit off but over all it's a really nice kit. As for price I wouldn't pay no more than $25k to $30K. Again you're just buying a expensive Pontiac Fiero with a kit.
Btw I believe this guy is selling his as of right now on FB marketplace asking $70K.
fiero ones do. agreed . mines got a f1 style tube frame and way more underneath than most. and it didnt come cheap to pull it off. but the results were worth it
It is one thing to replicate a look you can check back and forth countless times. But creating a driveable car is something you have to have knowledge about and import all of that in the build from the start. All you can do later is adjust coils, tire pressure and maybe some tidbits but that's it. If the chasis has a bad joint creating or multiplying vibrations you can't do anything about it anymore once it's done.
Wish you had him start it up or drive it or something...
Agree we missed that in these videos, look for that in the next ones.
Any advise on a builder in Texas that can complete a diablo replica?
Try Mav at facebook.com/buythehorns/ he is not a builder but supplies parts to any in the area that do.
Most of the gaps are horrible.
When you have the ability, and money to build your own car, Why not design your own car instead of creating an obvious replica?
Replicas are already a lot of hours to build with many custom made parts. Your own design even more but some do do it. Plan on showing some on the channel post c19.
What was the shop in ajacks called thank you
Fiberglass Workshop in Ajax Ontario.
Where in Ontario are you ? I have a red Diablo about 1 hr from Sarina
Cambridge
I've sent you an email
Didn't see anything.
@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs sorry email had typo ive resent
The car is not the correct shape and length very off
AT first i was like "oh pretty cool" then the more i got to exanmining it i quickly realized it doesnt look that good at all... Even the gaps in the doors are to wide
Nice
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The panel gaps are awful 😣
So are the gaps on a real one.
the front is horrible, disproportionate
Thanks for watch'n
That's a beautiful thing
Wer do you live in ajacks to
I seen this car on carport dr
Fareport dr
This thing does not fit well ..... look at those panel gaps
Screw that seejay felix
Its still better than most cars out there
That isn’t accurate looking at all why lie?
Needs good paint its 3 different colors!
I have missed 6 opportunities. all naerc cars too. because they were built in my city. at prices from 35 to 45 Canadian. oh well. I started a family instead n now I'm single n alone with no kit car
There out there but not at those prices, Vic has this one for sale.

Mia coloured doors shocking
3 foot long gear shifter looks soooo cool…
Not.
Very nice. I bet it would fool must car guys
@Jimmy Burns AT first i was like "oh pretty cool" then the more i got to exanmining it i quickly realized it doesnt look that good at all... Even the gaps in the doors are to wide
Love the car , but the paint is not good ,
belle voiture!.
Thanks
The rims are aways a dead giveaway
This thing is horrible u can see all the wrong things with it..
Not really....
I don't understand why people flex replicas... If you can't afford the real thing, don't try to look like you do. I see guys flexing Rolex watches it's the same thing. Just don't do it.
@@mrtoma8872 I would never buy a fake replica car, I actually drive a 2019 Mercedes E53 AMG. lol
This is a stupid statement because if you shopped at Walmart in your life guess what? you've bought Replica products. Not everyone wants to get into the collector car scene and deal with the headaches.
