Countach, the ultimate supercar

Yes Edmond Ciclet at home, a little house with some garage, each time he openned a door each time I discovered other Lamborghini, incredible. Always a pleasure to visit him and his wife the late Francine.

 

Hi Roy, what exhaust is on this car? Any chance it has an ANSA sport exhaust?

To Roy -and anybody else - I would like to find a picture of the center mount on the ANSA sport exhaust and how it looks once the exhaust is mounted in the car...having some trouble with this for the resto I've been doing on the LP400S.

 

yes it does...

If for some reason you get a chance to have this on a lift in the near future I would highly appreciate a pic of the way the exhaust mounts on this car ;-). It's not an easy thing so no big deal if not possible.

Thank you!

 

Thanks, I am familiar with the two systems just wasn't sure about how the brackets get positioned...so one of the side brackets plus the spring shock absorber gets moved to the center mount and that constitutes the mounting for the center exhaust, right?

In other words the brackets and spring absorbers are identical regardless of the exhaust type?

 

This is the area I was asking about...[picture courtesy of Roy's for sale page of the silver lambo].

Thanks! That clarifies it...we're starting by trying to move a side bracket and exhaust shock absorber to the center and then check whether it lines up with the ANSA mounting bracket in the center.

If that is the case then this exhaust would be supported by the center only and the connecting pipes to the headers would give it some side-to-side rigidity. I'll have my guy take pictures.

 

Yes early this year, it was always a pleasure to see her driving caterham.

 

That is sad. RIP

Above is my understanding as well and applies to 2 valve cars. I am not sure all the 4 valve cars have both mounting configurations. I believe later cars dropped the center mount style. The center mount is used with the sport exhaust and the twin mounts are used with the box muffler. Many of the sport exhaust systems come with brackets that can be welded on so the sport exhaust can be used with the two mount system.

I never thought about it until a saw this picture. What does one do with the flat tire once it's changed,,,,especially if you have a passenger ?

 

LOL!

 

If she was my passenger,,,tire would be left at the side of the road !

 

Is that a protipo Countach?
