I currently own a modified Porsche 964 Turbo and I am seriously looking into buying a Lambo in the future as a replacement.

All I hear is that these 91-94 lambo Diablos are nothing but problems and too expensive to fix such as clutch, electrical problems etc...

- Is this true and what are the common problems.?

- How easy is it to get more power out of these cars?

- What is the best source to find a Diablo?

Thanks !

diablo,s are esier to work on... especialy the 91-92's
if maintaned properly they are fine......

91 and 92 are basicly the same.. and you can get more power

basikly with the 91 92 you have heavier clutch and no power steering....

seing as its your first lambo.... it will teach you allot... go for it

read up on it in the threads.... you will find out allot

91s are fine. its the techs that screw them up.

Buy from 1993 on and take care that you get on with the Brembo brake calipers.

When Frank Sinatra got his Miura S in 1970, he said: “If you wanna be someone, buy Ferrari - If you are someone, you own a Lamborghini”.

I have put 35,000 KM on my 92 in 1 year and 4 months. the only thing to go has been a alternator. Buy one.

I believe it has as much to do with guys that don't respect the cars and drive them like they are NSX's vs SUPERCARS. They are a good dependable car when treated properly by the owner and technician.

I think the 91-93 Diablos can be bullit proof when you do the proper upgrades that are needed. I think they are easy to work on. Infact my first engine pull out of any car in my life was the Diablo. Not bad huh? I could pull a diablo engine out in about 4-5 hours easy. Main things I would look for is the pinion gear upgrade, alternator upgrade, chain tensioner upgrade are the major stuff. Clutch is a bit hard and so is the steering. I have taken care of the steering part. I have a 1998 Roadster power steering rack with an electric pump that my 240 amp alternator powers....go for it!

The clutch is apparently the first thing to go and about a $10k job ?

I contacted SPEC clutch and their kit alone is $3500 plus flywheel and install.

What are the negatives of the car without being biased?

Can I convert the car to use powersteering?

Yes you can convert the cart to power steering. I have done it for a relative cheap cost.

You can get a clutch redone on your original one for about $600-700. As far as the flywheel goes, let me know if you need one. I am sure I can beat some prices. The clutch will last a long time if not abused, but just like any other car..it can wear out if abused. As far as a $10K cost...I think it's a bit high. If you are a home mechanic like me...you could do it in a weekend. But that is if you have all the tools to do it. Took me about 6-7 hours to pull the engine and I was taking my time.

I like the 91-93 but it's a raw diablo. I think they are good cars once the kinks are worked out of them.
