My latest encounter.. the Devil and the Merc..



Was called up by my dear friend to check out a ride being done up at his workshop.. at first i thought it's just gonna be another EVO or Subaru.. To my surprise.. it was the Diablo! ... Lamborghini Diablo! Apparently there were some issues with the car... and the owner installed a Haltech E11 to by pass the original wiring and sensor issues...

1. On the Dyno machine...

And of course.. the Merc.. it's a W201..The engine is the 2.3 liter 8-Valve 136hp engine but major works has already been worked on to the power plant. The turbo from a hybrid Garrett. This car is still under construction hence, the management has yet to be decided upon. Here's a peak on what's in the engine bay.. (sorry for the blurrness, hands abit shakey.. )

I own an e11. I would never put an e11v2 in something like this. I love it, but I hate it.

umm.. i think d owner has no choice coz there were some 'unresolved' issues with the original car electronics.. to solve it i guess will cost more than the e11 itself... by the time d e11 was done and d car was running perfectly... but there was another issue that arised... d clutch slipped during tuning... i guess for this kinda car... time, wear and tear does take its toll .. and d cost for parts replacement is d ultimate killer

Wow, and THE stupid use of "d" in place of THE is annoying THE f***ing S*** out of me. THE next time you want to type a post where every instance of THE is replaced with THE annoying "d", please click THE little red x at the top right corner.


And the engine bay of the Ferrari is disgusting.

edit - I realize you from Malaysia, but come on.

actually its a lambo, incase you didnt notice,

on a side note the interior on those things looks really cheaply built, maybe its just the fact that those things are ancient now compared to all the new stuff thats been coming out over the years as far as high end sports cars/ exotics go

Wow that Lambo looks a little rough around the edges but I'd still rock it!

The interior needs a good cleaning and the shifter gate needs to be replaced


and the engine bay needs a whole lot of love
