Question about getting Gallardo ready for Canadain roads

[blacklabel]

My friend just picked up a 2007 gallardo spyder. It needs to get daytime running lights installed and an out of country inspection.

ZR Auto quoted 5000 dollars for the lights to be installed. Does anyone know the best place to take exotics? I don't think taking this car to Can Tire would be a good idea for inspection or getting the lights done.

If anyone knows a good place to take a car like this please let me know.

Talk to Kulu.

DRL's on a Gallardo is nothing more than Module reprograming. Find a Lambo dealer and go and get it done there. You might be able to get some support from an audi dealer.

So it's nothing more than playing around with the computer?

Give Alpine Autowerks a call, they'll be able to help you, 403-287-9114.

jumper the DRL temporarily with a relay, some minor wiring then take it to canadian tire (just don't take your eyes off the car) for the inspection. done deal. Remove wiring after inspection

$5k for DRL

There are others that install the Audi LED day time running lights on their Lambo's, but its honestly just a matter of having the light module run the Xenons all the time.

If it wasn't for the scan tool needed to change that over, it would totally be something you can do on your own.

As for installing the LED's thats no big deal either. buy a set from Audi, take out your headlamps drill the holes for them, run the wires, install a relay and Fuse. use the power distribution panel behind the seats. The hard part, is removing all the seats carpets and coverings to get to the proper wires.

Get it done at the dealership you purchased it from in the States. Most will do it for free with purchase of Lamborghini.

We just called Alpine Auto Works and they said they didn't have the scanner and said they would have to send car to Vancouver..

I'd check with RIV VERY THOROUGHLY before your friend buys this car. I've heard that Lamborghini Canada isn't allowing ANY cars to be imported anymore.

$5K makes sense.

Probably $4K to truck it to Van and back. $1K profit for the trouble.

It's actually fairly easy to bring a lambo in.

Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip.

ya ZR told him that since he didnt buy it there, it was considered an inslut to bring it there for service. im pretty sure it would cost them less than an hour in labour, but they charge 5K just to be pricks

My mistake! It's Porsche that's making it a cunt now.

I thought the only real issue is no warranty or they won't sell you a new car, but there's nothing stopping you from buying something used in a private sale, as long as it's listed as admissible. How are Porsche going to stop you from bringing one in?
