Greetings gentlemen!
I have been lurking around this forum for close to 2 years now. Some really great stuff happening here!
I am considering building a replica aventador, and if all goes well, I will have a build diary thread soon! But before I proceed with anything I need to make sure the stuff I am sourcing can be assembled with as little adjustments as possible.
Aventcar, I must say your kit is currently the most complete and accurate kit I have seen. I have a few questions though.
1. You say your kit is hand sculpted and not cnc milled or anything. How accurate is your kit? I know in a previous post you said +-1% but that was relating to just the dimensions. What about the curves, angles, shape, etc of the body panels? No offence to your skills.
2. You say the complete kit you are selling for $14,500. Can I order a kit without the windshield? I would like to get the windshield manufactured myself.
3. Currently your kit does not include the center console buttons or the steering controls. Any plans to make these as well?
4. I am planning to mount your kit on the "Govedo chassis", the same one the 76mx makes I guess. Does your kit fit this chassis perfectly? If no, what adjustments are required?
5. Can you please post a pictures comparing your lights to the originals? I know you have posted a few pics earlier, but can you post picture comparing to the original with photographs taken as same angles and distance please? Thanks.
76mx, I have a few questions for you too since I am interested in your chassis.
1. Is your chassis the "Govedo chassis"? If yes, have you made any changes to the design/plans?
2. What are advantages/disadvantages of aluminium and mild steel chassis?
3. Can I order a completely broken down chassis? It would be cheaper to ship it this way. I can get it assembled/welded myself.
4. You mentioned your chassis is VIN certified worldwide. What does this mean? In my country, getting the replica registered for road driving is not possible, simply because the process to get it certified is the same as that for any major manufacturer. The certification will cost me more that the replica itself. What I plan on doing is getting an old car for dirt cheap and using that car's chassis number on your chassis. This could still be a problem in case the chassis number is checked against the database indicating that the car is registered as "2000 Honda City" (just and example)
But something is better than nothing. Maybe I can say that I modified the chassis completely!
5. I plan on getting a tuned engine based on an existing one as I don't want the replica to just look like an aventador, but run like it as well. Will an acceleration similar to that of a real Lamborghini still keep the car on ground on launch? Is the weight distribution of chassis similar to that of the original? How much do the aluminium and mild steel chassis weigh respectively?
6. What brakes, suspensions, axles etc. would fit your chassis?
Sorry for the long list of questions guys, but I need to make sure I know what I am getting before I take the plunge.
Again, all of your work is fantastic! Keep up the good work. Cheers!
