Victoria's Secret Lamborghini Diablo SV: Prepping for MODA Miami

Diablo SV Preparation for MODA Miami

• 🛠️ The Victoria's Secret Lamborghini Diablo SV is undergoing a comprehensive punch list of repairs and maintenance to prepare for the MODA Miami event.
• ✈️ The car was previously a barn find, having sat for 14 years in an airplane hangar before being restored over three months.
• 🛣️ The plan is to drive the car to Miami and back, rather than shipping it.

Key Mechanical Repairs and Upgrades

• 💧 A squealing water pump was silenced by replacing a worn flexible coupling, a significantly cheaper part than a new pump.
• ⚡ An alternator pulley is being replaced to address a noise, as new alternators for these cars are costly.
• ⚙️ The car will receive an oil change after approximately 1,000 miles driven since the last service.

Addressing Other Issues

• 🔑 Both door latches had issues, with the passenger side exterior and driver side interior latches not functioning, common problems for this model.
• 🪞 Window movement was slow due to worn window switches, which are being replaced for improved operation.
• 💥 The front bumper was re-painted after a crack from bottoming out during Monterey Car Week, with an aim for a better color match.
• 🚗 A new steering rack was installed due to play in the passenger side tie rod end.
• 🧼 A new washer fluid pump is on its way from Italy to replace the faulty one.

Upcoming Automotive Events

• 📅 The speaker plans to attend several events including Cars on Fifth, Miami Concore, MODA Miami, Amelia Island Concourse, Heritage Invitational in Charlotte, and Atlanta Concourse.
• 🎟️ Viewers can get 25% off MODA Miami tickets using the code VINwiki, with one attendee winning a VIP experience.
