This video helped me find you. And somehow - here I am. Love your Aussie version of Mat A style.................and will be watching. Keep going and more of us will follow.
Could be a dumb suggestion, but it might be possible to widen the rear track width by mounting the rear trailing arms further out, and use an E46 right side driveshaft on both sides (which are already longer), meaning just making the upper and lower arms longer + repositioning the shock top mounts. Obviously means a fair bit of fabrication...which is needed anyway?
I’m sure you’ve this all planned out, but two things have me wondering…. The strut tops of the bmw are much higher than the top of the wheels, on the lambo not so much, I guess you can cut them down and have short coilovers made…. But what about access to the top bolts, I guess the front could come off altogether. But the issue I see is that the distance between the centre of the front wheel and dash, would be much larger on the bmw than the lambo, youl end up having to sit very far back?
You’re completely spot on in both issues you’ve bought up! The strut tops we’ll likely cut down and weld a custom laser cut plate ontop. As for the firewall, we’re going to tackle that one during the process 😅
I think a 5 cylinder turbo Fiat engine with some billet stuff would be perfect, it also sounds similar to a Lamborghini engine. Anyway, this is a really cool project!!!!
A couple years back someone was building a fake R34 skyline on a bmw base, buying r34 parts and fitting it on the bmw, you can probably find it on youtube, dude hasn't posted anything else so it's likely abandoned project, but its something i bet you could do for a future build
I might be throwing a bad idea out there but what about a twin turbo 3.5 liter eco boost? They're torque monsters and the power to weight ratio in that car would be crazy
Hi Mike, for the collor choice, check out the Lamborgini from Joel Beukers (from Clean Nutrition). P.s. Frank Grillo made a movie about Lamborgini (haven't seen it yet). Have fun with the project! Greetings from the Netherlands.
@@itsmikelake he js a marketing genius, maybe it works for your garage/ channel to! It 's gold wrapped, with slogans and brand/ website on it. Check out the public who takes pictures from it. I 'll bet it will boost your vieuwers! Good luck my friend.
😂It is awesome, about what engine, Hmm why not drop a Lambo Engine in it, Or strip a tesla and make it electric.. You had me SMILING through the whole video, Loved the sitting in the shell part Top notch Mike🙂 Thanks for sharing
@@itsmikelake so let me make sure I got this right. The tracks will not allow a track car that is built like a track car on the track because it’s a track car? I could understand if it was going to be on the street and they won’t allow a tube chassis……
I don't know why but some sort of high revving na v8 in this would be epic!!! 1uz would be cool, a 5.6 out of a y62 patrol would be unique and sound amazing too!!! Even a stroked 5l Holden but all options are alot of money. Ls would make sense power and budget wise but they just don't sound as good in my opinion!!
I was gonna drop a stupid comment and say chuck a 1L engine from a charade but I reckon if you’re gonna make it front engine, something like a rotary could be really cool.
A fella I used to know in the 1JZ/2JZ circles had the same kind/type of Diablo shell in his garage. I saw it back in 2016-17... At that point, he'd painted it yellow and was planning to put in an Audi/Lamborghini V10 into it.. But as far as I know the project never came into completion.
@@itsmikelake That would be crazy but not impossible, as there can't be many of these shells in existance in Australia? At the time I saw it, the car was based in Castlemaine, in Victoria.
I think im a fan first of all 😊 I’ll start with that!.. But i think the only engine that makes sense in the rear is a k24 boosted ofcoarse… Their already naturally packaged as a east west engine, so CV axles slide straight into the honda gearbox… Honda has strong boxes and theres plenty around… The k24 needs no introduction, it’s plentiful and responds to boost wildly, even just 15psi as a safe stock build, your still looking at 400hp that’ll go all day… But i also am very familiar with the e36 chassis.. Shit gets expensive if you go engine in the front… Ls swap ends up costing 15k I have one.. M50 boosted cost the same… I also have one.. So i dunno k24 on hondata is probably best… Find a manual Accord, your halfway done!..
Thanks for the comment! The k swap seems to be a pretty popular idea. I think we’ll have to see what we’re playing with once we get the shell onto the chassis 👀
New here! Most of the builds out there are really bad upon closer inspection, i really hope you'd pay some attention into details and get a quality build out. Cheers!
Shamborghini. Love it. I would say rotary swap but thats sort of been done. If you can source a Mercedes-Benz M275 from an S class. Big v12 sound with twin turbos but i dont know about availability or cost. It works for Pagani. Please tell me you are making it have a targa top roof.
i was always thinking about a kitcar supercar with an NA I6 ITB with destroker that is going to be a high revving 6-1 headers with step-ups that sounds like a baby v12.
This build is going to be absolutely wild 😍 what motor should we put in this thing?!
I guess it's going to have to be rear engine? There doesn't look like much room to put anything up front
swap a V12 or even a holden ls in it
rotor
Na+t Barra max power budget build. I know it's been done by many before. But it never gets old
Audi 5 cyl or vr6 motor
So stoked to be a part of this build! Going to be a wild one for sure. Please limit the amount of half naked clips you need me to film 😅
So sick! Cant wait to see how this turns out 👌🏽👏🏽
🥰 can’t wait to bring it to a Friday night drifts event!
That living room cut was sassy af 🤣
Poor Nathan had to film that 💀
Good on you dude for putting in the hard work to achieve your goals!! Your content is good keep it up brother!!
Thanks so much bro, appreciate you!
This video helped me find you.
And somehow - here I am.
Love your Aussie version of Mat A style.................and will be watching. Keep going and more of us will follow.
Thanks so much bro! Love Matt. He’s sooo good.
I honestly can’t wait to this finished this looks fun 🎉
You and me both! We’ve already cracked into the build, new vid should drop this week 😁
Twin turbo or single big turbo 2jz would go hard on that 🔥
Also please do something awesome with that fc chassis!
crazy project to take on mike, can't wait to see the final product. keep up the hard work
So keen to watch your journey with this, good luck with it all. Also very glad to see it off that fc finally.
Super stoked to see how this build turns out
Same bro 😁👊🏻
Ohh man I can't wait for the final result and see this on the track!
Ok, if we're going for crazy & it is a Lambo shell on a BMW after all ,so... they make a nice 10 cylinder. 😊😂😂
Nathan and I were literally saying this today 👀. Imagine
@@itsmikelake that sound would be next level
Fully sick!
Thanks bro. Should be a fun build!
once its done i think you should go for a quick drive down to Adelaide and take her to the Adelaide motorsports festival for the drift event
I whole heartedly concur with this 👀😁

Every day you get a little closer to being mad Mike 2.0 😂😂
Glad Mike 🤣

This is a fantastic suggestion! 👌🏻 thanks 😁
Damn Mike did not expect this a v12 from a century would be crazy cant wait for the for tomorrow!
sooooo excited to see this thing on a chassis
Ok, I subscribed
There is no way you did this 😂 so excited for you man!
🤣 we in the “supercar” market now haha you next!
Looking forward to this build 😊
You need to put either a VW/Audi 5 cylinder or 10 cylinder because... The exhaust tone!!! That is all.
Lmfao gayyyyyy
Should ls swap it and put those headers that Luke Fink just put on his corvette
Super hyped for this build Bro and hopefully it gets you over the 100K subs. I reckon a screaming JZ or Barra, but a big turbo LS also would be insane
This lambo is same real as our friendship
Fake, but still beautiful 🤣❤️
2:23 For some reason I thought he was driving like that while resting back with a pillow lol. Imagen lol.
Can't wait for the build to be done btw.
Haha left hand drive life aye 🤣
super excited for this one mike awesome stuff bud
You and me both thank you bro!
Can’t wait to see the progress
Mate so good! Looking forward to watching you work your magic 👌
Cheers Dan 🥰
I’m so here for this!!!!
You legend 🥰
Dude te's please, looks mad, either way cool build. Excited for this one.
Cheers Benny! I’m sure wheels will change lots as the car goes through phases 🤣👌🏻

Can't wait to see how this works out - looks insane already.
Cheers Mike. So thankful for you and your team's support!
Haha what a lemon. I love it. Interested to see what you do with this!
For some reason it makes me happier that it’s not perfect and needs work haha
The Diablo and Luke’s patrol need to drift at some point
We’ve already had this conversation 🤣
Excited for this build me just like when u started on the rwd evo
I might be throwing a bad idea out there but what about a twin turbo 3.5 liter eco boost? They're torque monsters and the power to weight ratio in that car would be crazy
Mate! This is freakin' awesome! 😃👍
Thank you bro! Can’t wait to crack into it 😁
Holy shit this is going to be a wild build! So stoked to see this! Haha
Hell yeah bro, I’m already having a blast with it and we’ve just got started haha 😁👊🏻
Love it man!! Such a good idea!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do to it!!!!
Thank you bro. So hyped you guys are loving the idea. The thing is going to look insane 👀
Didn't expect this haha. Also dude - pretty sure 300Z headlights will work with this. Killer way to save some money.
Haha I decided to try something different with this one 😝. You’re spot on! They came factory with them. Crazy
@@itsmikelake So good! Keen as bro!
Very cool, glad to finally see it!
Cheers Chris. Can’t wait to get stuck into it 😁
Siiiiiiiiiiiiick !!!! Definitely worth the wait
Thank you bro! We have some crazy plans for this build 😁👊🏻
I’m pumped! Fricking sick.
😱

Love when all the fake Lamborghini are brought on the good old Facebook marketplace 😂😂
Hahaha where else but fb marketplace 🤣
@@itsmikelake 😂😂 you now need a little collection of kit cars like some more Lamborghini's and the fake bugatti's😂😂
This is gonna be insane!
Mike you are my favorite car youtuber bro lets see the v10 from a dodge truck in that thing
I appreciate that so much bro thank you!
Let’s goooo! This is gonna be epic
that things gonna be sick as legands
Jocks on the couch scene was wild 😭
I would like to personally apologise 🤣💀

If anyone can pull this off... it's you! good luck 😁
So keen for this build! 🤣👌🏻
4G63T SWAP MIKE!
I’m way late to the party, but this thing needs a tube chassis and mid engine configuration.
Tube frame chassis are illegal when it comes to taking them on track in Australia. You need to have something pre manufactured 🥲.
@@itsmikelake so let me make sure I got this right. The tracks will not allow a track car that is built like a track car on the track because it’s a track car? I could understand if it was going to be on the street and they won’t allow a tube chassis……
2jz twin turbo
I'm here for it. get after it
Let's goooo
Sick! Gonna be a good watch
😁👊🏻
LS3 and do a 8 to 1 header/exhaust, which will make it sound close to a lambo engine
I do have Bailey and Waz who can make me some nice headers 👀
@@itsmikelake With the welds Bailey did on the cart, it'll be looking smick ('bellisimo emoji') 🤣
This is going to be the wildest thing to see at calder 😂
Can’t wait to see you do a backie in it 😍
@@itsmikelake 😳😳😳😳👉👈 I would be honoured 🥰
Bro I'm so excited for thisss
You and me both 🤝🏻
Instant sub , thankyou UA-cam algorithm 🙌
Thank you bro! 🙏🏻
@@itsmikelake you're welcome mate, watched your 2 lambo vids , back catalogue here we come. Love the content
Aaaaand there’s no money in there! You and me both brother 😂😂
Hahaha living life on the edge!
Got a mike lake living room reveal before gta6
Don’t 🤣🤣
I don't know why but some sort of high revving na v8 in this would be epic!!! 1uz would be cool, a 5.6 out of a y62 patrol would be unique and sound amazing too!!! Even a stroked 5l Holden but all options are alot of money. Ls would make sense power and budget wise but they just don't sound as good in my opinion!!
I was gonna drop a stupid comment and say chuck a 1L engine from a charade but I reckon if you’re gonna make it front engine, something like a rotary could be really cool.
👀 you're literally reading my mind haha
Ls3 🔥🔥
Luke finks new LS setup sounds absolutely wild 👀
This is crazy I’ll be watching
Stoked thank you bro 🥰
Chasing m3 sedan front bumper Australia..?
LETS GO! looking forward to this one
Can’t wait 😁👊🏻
Always thought a Lamborghini with a Rotary Engine would be cool as hell
You and me both bro! 13b turbo 👀
3uz 😮💨🔥

Century v12 engine would be cool but 1uz fe should be enough 🤣
Mid Mount 6 piston Rotormotor🇦🇺🤘
Can wait
Pretty sure liberty walk makes a kit for the diablo if you guys could afford that or could get one this thing would look stunning
I’ve already been on their website browsing 👀🤣
Awesome!
Let’s goooo 😁
New here! Most of the builds out there are really bad upon closer inspection, i really hope you'd pay some attention into details and get a quality build out. Cheers!
I can guarantee this will not be one of those builds 👀. I got you 🤝🏻
@@itsmikelake Hell yeah!! A clean ass diablo drift build would be sick 😇Wish you guys all the best!
Chuck in k24a2 or a3 plz

Honestly, the rotary would suit it so well. The sound would be so appropriate! Yep, the roof is removable at the moment...
@@itsmikelake whatever you do will be awesome. Rotary will sound amazing. I do think a boat v drive would make it sound insane.
You should put a M73B54 engine the lambo😁
Something turbo diesel like a cummins thatd be completely different to everyone else
The real lambo diablo uses 300zx headlights, should definitely be able to find some
I have already sluthed these on marketplace 👀🤣
@@itsmikelake Nice, no muckin around
So.........
Are you Matt Armstrong Roo fighting brother or is he your tea drinking brother....🤔
Haha I just admire the guy! Sooo good
OMG this is so gangster
Haha cheers bro! Just you wait till you see what we have planned for it 👊🏻
Didn't think id see this thing on youtube again
Ohhh you know the history on this car?
@@itsmikelake LOKISX owned it for a bit up here in Qld. you can find it on her channel if you like... It was in the same state as when you found it.
K24 🙌🏻
Engine? Obviously an m5X turbo 🎉
Biiiiggg bmw guy haha 👀
Best way to the lambo for get that car, and use tvr car so it lot easier to modify to suit the lambo and tvr quick cars
Why not use e46 that has same wheelbase and all e36 parts will fit
The e36 was readily available for us haha so we used that
i was always thinking about a kitcar supercar with an NA I6 ITB with destroker that is going to be a high revving 6-1 headers with step-ups that sounds like a baby v12.
Sheesh that does sound fricken AWESOME!
@@itsmikelake you can look up for the 9000rpm E46 M3 hillclimb for the sound from hillclimb monsters channel
Next build you should buy a fake taxi.
DONT 🤣
Sorry mate I couldn't help myself 😂
the bmw looks like an suv next to the lambo
Right? 🤣
