Spare screws are included with each part. Occasionally, you may be instructed to keep spare or
unused screws for a later stage. Keep these spares in a safe place and label them correctly.
Please make sure you don’t mix up the screws. They look quite similar, but the threads do vary
slightly. Using the wrong screws may damage the parts.
When securing parts together using multiple screws, fit each screw loosely to ensure all the
parts are correctly aligned before gently tightening them firmly, but not overtight, in the order
in which you placed them.
The screwdriver can be magnetized by stroking it with a magnet (fridge magnet, etc.) enabling
it to hold the screws and make assembly easier.
If a screw is tight going into a metal part, do not force it as you may shear the head off. Remove
it and put a tiny smear of Vaseline, soap or light oil on the thread. That will lubricate it and make
it easier to drive home.
During the course of this build, you will receive many pieces that you will assemble immediately
– following the instructions in the corresponding stage – and other pieces that you should store
safely to one side, for use in future assembly stages.
Left and Right! When building your Lamborghini, the left or right hand side refers to each side
as you are sitting in the car.
WARNING: Some parts are assembled using magnets. These magnets can cause serious injury
if they are swallowed. Keep away from children. If you suspect a magnet has been swallowed,
seek medical help straight away.

In this stage you’ll assemble the left
air filter box, then it’s time to fit the
carburettors from the last pack with
petrol pipes.

First take the air filter box cover and the three air filter box screws.
Carefully push the screws into the holes in the cover (arrows).
We recommend doing this by hand to avoid damaging the paint and
print on the cover.
Push the parts firmly together until all four holes have fitted over the
pins (circled).
Turn the box cover over, then align the air filter box with it as shown.
Use the holes on the air filter box and the pins on the cover as a guide
(arrows).
Note the ‘L’ printed on the cover (inset). This will help when fitting the
air filters at a later stage.
The air filter box should now look like this. Check the fit is flush all the
way round.

Cut the petrol pipe fittings from their sprue using sprue cutters by
snipping at the points indicated by red arrows.
Take the right cylinder head from stage 15 and the shorter petrol
pipe fitting, then align the two as shown. Note the four holes in the
carburettors and the corresponding pins on the petrol pipe (circled).
Fit the petrol pipes onto the ends of the fittings as shown. We
recommend using a pair of tweezers to grip and twist the petrol pipe
as you push it on.

Press the four pins of the petrol pipe into the four holes on the
carburettors. We recommend pressing each one in partially before
pushing all four firmly in place.

Now take the two carburettors assembled in stages 11 and 12 along
with the left cylinder head from stage 13. Press the pins on the
carburettors into the holes between the spark plugs simultaneously, as
you did in stage 15 (arrows).
Take the longer petrol pipe and align it with the holes in the
carburettors as shown. Note that you may need to move the spark
plug wires out of the way before fitting the petrol pipe, as shown in
the photo.
The carburettors should look like this once in place.

Press the pins of the petrol pipe into the carburettor holes, in the same
manner as step 8.

heads to the base, you’ll begin to
add detail to the engine, starting
with fitting the two air filter boxes
over the velocity stacks.

While holding everything in place, turn the assembly over and secure
the cylinder head to the engine base using 2x Type A screws. We
recommend removing the carburettors from the cylinder head before
driving the screws in to avoid damaging the velocity stacks.
Tip: try adding a drop of oil to the thread of the screw if it’s difficult to
drive in.
Then place the right cylinder head onto the engine base. Secure the right cylinder head using 2x Type A screws.

Now take the two air filter boxes, one from the previous stage and the other from stage 10. Note the difference between the air filter boxes on the
left and right air filters (arrows), as well as the ‘L’ and ‘R’ printed on the underside of them to help differentiate the two.
