I can. Thanks jb70. I'll figure it out from that.

Hmm - getting a "page not found error". I'll see what I can figure out. Thanks!

A Christmas present from jb70! What a nice surprise and a great project for the holidays. Thanks so much. Is there a way to identify the extra parts needed if you have already done v1.0?

It is a pleasure to help. I am always available to prototype or test with quick turnaround. Thanks again. Update: I am now through step 417 of book 2 with no further comments or suggestions. Everything works great!

I am working through the 0.4 instructions and, as usual, the quality of the design and documentation is top notch and typical jb70 high quality. Two small issues I noticed are: on page 37, step 74 the call out boxes are reversed and on page 65, step 127 both the 5L Yellow Axles should protrude 1L after the Bush (just like in the original kit). Thanks again jb70 - I enjoy your mods more than the stock kit. I am working through this carefully and will report any other issues or questions that come up.

Amazing. Simply amazing. I'm going to get started right away. Thanks jb70!

These are the exactly the mods (HOG shifting, HOG steering) and steering I look forward to the most. Amazing work! I can't wait.

Yes! I look forward to your "pimp" mods as much as the new released from Lego. I would be happy to assist with any experiments or prototyping that could help.

I always wanted to try but could not figure it out from the video he posted. If you have any details or more pictures of the build I would love to try.

I'd love to try and build the wheel as well if you are willing to share the Stud.io file (with a promise of no further distribution of course). I took a look and need a little bit more than the video. Let me know if you would consider this. Thanks.

I've completed v0.5 BOOK2 with no issues. The rear hood works much better now and stays in place. I look forward to the next update.

Yes! Thanks @jb70! I just finished the updated Book 1. It is complete and accurate and another example of your high quality work. Now on to Book 2... ;-) https://bricksafe.com/pages/jbuccino/42143-jb70-pimp

As a regular lurker here I anxiously await jb70's "Pimp" version of all new supercars. I just can't tell you how grateful I am for the amazing upgrades. It is so enjoyable seeing and replicating jb70's incredible work and creativity. As soon as I saw the 0.4 PDF I took apart my base model and started immediately. It was so satisfying. I am halfway through the file now. At the risk of being picky I think there is one small mistake in the instructions. On page 44, step 73 I think the red 3L pin (11214) and lbg bush (3713) combination should be swapped with the lbg 3L pin (32054) and red 2L axle (32062) combination so as to fit with the gearbox assembly properly. Other than that everything is clear and accurate. Thank you again for this. It really is incredible work.

Thank you so much. You and all the contributors are amazing. I am looking forward to a complete disassemble and rebuild of my 0.16.

Interesting. I have lots of OCD tendencies but not that one. I never sort the bricks when disassembling. :-) But my wife always comes over and insists on doing it for me while I am starting the rebuild. I am just so anxious to start building that I'd rather find the parts as I go. And when it is a mod I go into my storage bins to find the changed additional parts.

I promise you won't be disappointed. The build is so much fun. Enjoy! (And I think you just inspired me to take mine apart again just for the pleasure of building in some of the new mods.)

Speaking from personal experience (Porsche, Bugatti, Sian and about six other "improved" or RC MOCs) I have to agree with the suggestion to build the original right away. It is so rewarding to open a new Lego kit and work with the new parts and (overly) detailed instructions. Also I don't have the self-control to let a new Lego kit sit unbuilt. :-) I agree with you that taking apart the model is tedious and unrewarding. But once I start it goes way faster than I planned and I start anticipating the fun of the rebuild. I actually use the incremental releases of the modifications (no matter how small) as motivation to take apart a build. I buy Lego and work on MOCs not so much for display but the joy of the build.

One other thing I noticed. On page 66, sub-step 40 - I see only one black 3L pin with stop bush used but in the inventory box on that page it lists 2. Is it there and I just can't find it or should it only be 1 in the inventory. Thanks.

My total pleasure! I think I have just contributed the theoretical minimum to the project. Removing exactly one instance of the most common part. :-) At least now I have only one direction to go. :-)

You guys are amazing (jb70 and didumos69 et al). This is more fun than the stock build by far. A minor question - is the black technic pin used in step 11 page 7 correct? It seems to interfere with the grey 3L pin with stop bush installed at step 6 page 10. Or am I missing something basic? Thanks.
