Turning A Lamborghini Into A Drift Machine. SHARE. Turning A Lamborghini Into A Drift Machine Supercar Drifter. So how did Daigo do it? How on earth did he take a Lamborghini Murci. He’s a driver that knows exactly how talented he is, and he’s constantly pushing and challenging himself with crazier engines and chassis solutions. What’s it all for? Well, I’m sure personal satisfaction is one part, but if you think about it, what is the single most important thing about drifting?

Making a mark; creating a show; standing out from the crowd; and not only with your driving, but with the cars you drive. And with Daigo having proven that he’s pretty much the best out there, where else could he have gone but into the realm of the supercar. Some might call it sacrilegious, but what a superb idea it was to butcher up a Murci. And it has, especially after its first demo run at the D1 Grand Prix round in Odaiba earlier this fall where Daigo proved that this car isn’t just an exercise in marketing, but a machine capable of competing at the highest echelon of the sport.

The Times of Northwest Indiana - the source for crime, business, government, education and sports news and information in the Region. What size dog crate and which type of dog crate should you buy? With so many options, it can be overwhelming. This article will help you decide.

Plus, in its former life with Liberty Walk’s Kato- san, it had already been transformed with LBW aero. The metamorphose from wild street car to D1. GP drift weapon has seen most of the kit retained (including the over- fenders, of course) and a few other touches added to the mix, like the three big front intakes on the bonnet that help direct air to the radiator and then dump it out once its purpose is served.

The original flat white exterior of the Lambo was painted over with a satin black finish which adds great contrast to the livery. Like on every LBW car, the brake package is courtesy of CSD, with big 6- pot callipers being employed both front and rear, and biting down hard on 2- piece rotors slotted with the CSD logo. Adding Functionality.

As you’d expect, the Murci. That said, the Lambo’s stance is wild; it sits ridiculously low yet runs the right sort of steering and overall suspension geometry to allow it to react and handle while going sideways. The rear end is finished off with a large GT wing that adds further character to car.

I still can’t get over the ridiculously cool location where Battle Drift was shot at – a derelict Russian- themed park in Japan which looks as picturesque as it does creepy. There’s no doubt that this is one very special looking Lamborghini, but as you can imagine, in transforming a big, mid- engined supercar into a drift car, beneath the skin is where the majority of the work was done. You begin to understand what was required to make this car competitive in Japanese pro drifting when you lift up the lightweight carbon fiber drivers door.

Yes, carbon doors – they’re one area of many around the car where kilograms were shed in an attempt to chisel away at the Murci. Since the driving position has been moved slightly rearward, the shift lever had to be extended backwards so that it falls to hand easily. Daigo still employs the Lamborghini’s original 6- speed manual H- pattern transmission, but a sequential might be in the works before the car sees proper competition from 2. Aside from a Racepak IQ3 dash unit and an HKS A/F Knock Amp, there’s nothing much else to distract the man himself from his driving duties. The aforementioned cage was designed to not only allow decent access into the Bride Proface fixed- back seat on the driver’s side, but also to ensure there is clearance with the seat itself.

A Bride Zeta III is fitted on the passenger’s side, with Prodrive/Willans harnesses for both occupants. In the depths of the driver footwell is a fully adjustable Tilton pedal box; a necessity on a car like this, because once the seat has been positioned for optimal driver comfort and weight balance/distribution, only the pedal box will allow for the final fine adjustments. Every time I see the chassis frames of older Lamborghinis I almost cringe at the way they were put together and welded up. Images of rusty and squeaky garden gates come to mind. I mean, how the hell do you keep a thing like this sideways? Well, on the steering side of things there was a need to completely rethink the geometry in order to achieve the required amount of angle – lots. Plus, think of the amount of weight in the rear as the 6.

L V1. 2 and its driveline swings around like a big, fat pendulum. In upgrading the steering, the stock rack was binned and replaced with one out of a Toyota Celsior and the spindles were swapped with Supra items. Ikeya Formula stepped in and designed a set of top and lower A- arms for both the front and rear before custom coil- overs were added. The Oily Bits. Remember what I said about all that weight at the back? Well, that’s why the Murci. Everything is mounted on pillow- balls to eliminate any slack from the linkages, transferring razor- sharp steering and chassis feel over to the driver. I would have loved to see Sant’Agata’s V1.

I imagine, so to get the best out of the motor, Daigo’s team pretty much refined what was already there. Topping off each of the two massive intake plenums are a pair of HKS Super Power Flow filters, instantly hinting that the engine could only have been set up in Japan. Which is exact what happened after Daigo sent the Lambo over to HKS HQ near Mt.

Fuji to be strapped on the dyno and tuned. The 6. 2. L V1. 2 is managed by a pair of HKS F- CON V Pro Ver 4. ECUs; two because these modules are really only able to manage the ignition and fuel maps for engines up to 8- cylinders in size. Film Noir Download I Am The Blues (2017). If you have keen eyes and you know your JDM cars, you might notice that the engine runs four Nissan VR3.

DETT electronically- controlled throttle bodies right behind those pod filters. These were fitted because they are faster reacting than the stock Lamborghini- spec ones, and also because they are far more compatible with the ECUs, which made things much easier. As I mentioned before, cooling is taken care of up front, and underneath the little center bonnet is a pair of pretty big intakes directing air towards the radiator.

This is also where the ATL fuel cell and fuel system has been located; two external Bosch pumps keeping the V1. And as if the engine’s sound wasn’t already sonorous enough from factory, Daigo got rid of everything aft of the headers and called in Kakimoto Racing to design and fabricate a straight through exhaust topped up with a pair of HKS cats on the tailpipes. As you would have seen in the video, the twin exits shoot massive balls of fire.

Hadouken! In tuning the engine for the best throttle response and mid- range torque, HKS was able to extract 6. PS, which under the careful modulation of Daigo’s right foot translates to a lot of tyre smoke. It’s a decent improvement from the Murci. Daigo, and all the people involved in this project, we salute you! Dino Dalle Carbonare. Instagram: speedhunters.
