Countach QV FI Thread

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the photos but according to eurospares they’re slightly different.

I have the stock exhaust in storage.

 

thanks Jon

 

I think the mounting brackets are slightly changed.

 

Emilio, unfortunately I’m still quite ill. However, I’ve confirmed that they are most certainly different systems.

They’re interchangeable, both featuring 2 cats etc, but the design is slightly different.

Nice to meet you and your family today. Beautiful Countach you have. The crowd just stopped whatever they were doing when you rolled in. Proves that no matter the model a Countach is a Countach and always a show stopper

 

Thanks, my daughter Ella and her cousine Jacob really liked your Testarossa,honestly,the nicest one ever,in my recollection, perfect,and sounded amazing , i can only imagine what your Countach looks like. Can not waith to see it. Next time you come down,we need to do some boating in the 1000,s of hp category,not Countach, but lots of fun.

 

Only if the boat is fuel injected

 

The only carburator left in the marine industri, would be on the scooter/moped taking me from the boat to the bar,at the marina.

 

Last car to leave the Cars and Coffe, had a blast running the car this weekend, amazing Countach, quick,responsive,feels like a New car. My daughter had a great time.perfect way to spend Sunday morning. This event is getting better and better, if you are in the erea,you should stop by. Supercar guru must take his blue beauty,and cruise across the Alley.

Couple pics of mine..

 

Looks awesome

 

Anyone lowered their car to more of an early Euro ride height? My car has new springs from George Evans which he said would settle over time, they havent and the car sits a little high. Now that Im in AZ, and the roads are much better Id like to lower it a little bit.

Also want to update the cooling fans to the more powerful versions for the warm AZ summers.

Any other acceptable mods anyone has done?

 

Here is a video of what looks like a lowered 4 valve Countach.

 

This video of the same car illustrates why Lamborghini raised the ride height

 

Yes- I don't want to go that low. I was thinking like an inch lower.

 

Got up to the shop and took a look at the QV’s old exhaust (which is now on the Anniversary)

I currently have a Painted intake plenum that I want to put back to factory specs.

Can you guys let me know if it would be all raw cast aluminum, are the lines and script polished? Would you seal the plenum so it doesn’t oxidize?

Any info would be great

 

Both the plenums and the runners are done with a wrinkle finish, which can often look flat over time with heat.

Lamborghini never did any polishing with the script to my knowledge and definitely didn't polish the lines.

 

Hi John... any updates on your cars progress?

 

Some period photos of the QV before coming back to California.
