<< < (32/32)

Jets303:
Stretched CV axles. True'd up by Doug's Balancing

Jets303:
Modified a set of RS6 headers to fit, little bit of work but not bad.

Jets303:
I am using an Audi 4.2L V8 and transmission from a 2004 Audi S6. Fits in the engine bay nice and snug!

Hey guys! Have not been on in some time, but I've been a long time member of both Lamboclone and Mad Mechanics. Was one of the very first members of this site back when Chris (NoBull) owned and ran it. I got out of the industry a bit to pursue other hobbies but I missed it enough and well here I am!

I started my replica career with a Murcie Lp640 build that came out pretty awesome! Got it about 75% done and burnt out (like everyone else) but it went to a good home. The guy who bought it owned a body shop so I'm sure its gleaming by now!

I've done a lot of deals with IKR, Murci Me, 6.0 nut, and Adrian Burton. Some of the old school guys who traded parts back when we were building Murci's and Diablos! Hope those guys are well and still active!

Well enough about that, I'm sure you're curious to see my car. I will start from the beginning. I started with an Armstrong chassis that I cut and modified to make work on the Aventador shell. They are solid chassis's that utilize simple yet effective suspensions. I used a Wilwood brake kit all around and am currently building front A arms to replace the factory ones. The rear suspension was stretched and utilizes the big brake kit also.

Im using a Duraflex racing shell and an Audi 4.2l V8 mated to the factory auto trans. You can find those here fairly cheap as I paid $800 for a wrecked car with 107k miles on it. The shell I had shipped from Rhode Island down to Colorado! That was a pain! OEM wheels, OEM exhaust, OEM lights all around. Planning on transplanting the S6 interior for now to get things up and running. About 3 months in and Im moving a lot faster the second time around! Enjoy the pics guys and feel free to ask any questions. Lets keep it educational and uplifting, so many times in this industry it turns into a screaming match.
