**Update**

Friday we installed the CORRECT flywheel and kevlar clutch. Saturday, transmission fluid was topped off and then in went the engine. We had a problem trying to get the engine mount bolts in after mount the transmission. After finalgling for a while, we decided to call it a night. Sunday morning, the transmission was unmounted and we bolted the engine up first. Easy peasy. In hindsight, it makes sense that it worked because it was reverse order of removing the engine and transmission. Power steering fluid was topped off and the rear engine... brace was installed. Protip: When installing the rear brace, make sure the car is not on its wheels. The weight of the engine cause just enough flex in rear to make it impossible to get the brace in. That was it for the last weekend. Next up, clutch/brake fluid (the tool didn't arrive until Monday), coolant, the final part of the exhaust and misc panels. We are getting close!!


Kevlar!!!!


New and shiny!














It's in!!!!


Until next time....

So who was the douche owner that put champion spark plugs in the lambo before your friend bought it? Talk about fail!

Also, 2k for a single disk kevlar clutch?!? I would have went with multiplate carbon!

Binder, that wasn't even the half of it. We bled the brakes, and judging by what came out, the previous owner didn't love on this car. But it's awesome now! lol

That's most likely our next project. He just moved into this house (yeah, we destroyed the garage floor lol), but his last house had it painted.

That sucks. I know some rich people don't give a crap about their cars but you would think they would take it to the dealership when they had service intervals.

I love that yellow with yellow interior. Amazing colors. What does your friend do for a living? I think my next car will be the gallardo although I would like to have a superleggera
