    EU reasoning FWIW

    All finished & BB8 looks great. The modified version doesn't fit the original stand too well but if you remove the two long flat black tiles in the cross piece of the stand where it supports BB8 you can substitute a 2x2 black tile with single stud in the centre and place a 1x1 square black tile on top of it. This raises the height in the centre of the stand sufficiently to support the centre of the base of BB8. These were parts I already owned but any combination of 2x2 plates & tiles to raise the height by two tiles would also solve the height issue.. I have ordered flat plates to cover the remaining uncovered studs.

    So LEGO & CADA parts are interchangeable but they are not the same?

    Cheers, I've noticed that already as I started the build with the original parts and left overs from other builds whilst I await the ordered extra parts. Personally I find it helpful.

    I have today received a second hand BB8 in parts and am awaiting the extra parts needed. Looking forward to the next build.

    Whilst specific to the thread it would seem many of the Technic Forum members prefer builds of published MOC's. I was tempted to do this on more than one occasion but the cost of the parts from Rebrickable or Bricklink was insane. One recent example was a Lamborghini and the MOC publisher suggested a Lego Chiron as a donor for parts, even then the total cost was from memory >£700 for one 1/8th Supercar. Makes Lego supercars cheap IMHO.

    I am currently half way through building the last part - The head. Not suggesting any fault of yours but I find myself one 3x2 plate in tan missing (step 272 of modified build) so awaiting arrival of the missing part from Ebay. I am so used to the orderly builds from Lego where you work from numbered bags in order that this build was quite challenging, as I found myself looking for parts from multiple numbered bags simultaneously. The end result has been worth it as the modified build is so much cleaner and realistic. So thanks for the MOC, it is a great improvement on the standard model.

    I am now pretty advanced into this build, very surprised by the lack of activity on this thread for a new Lego model.

    Personally, I think the standard 911 wheels are perfect for the car but each to their own.

    Thank you.

    If I buy a Chiron is there a Rebrickable/Bricklink inventory list just for the additional parts required?
  12. williamyzfr1
    I purchased all the extra parts needed but I am now at step 86 of the modified instructions and can't find an 8x1 white plate with rail, or 6x2 plate white, or 6x1 blueish grey plate, have ordered all three from Ebay. I can't find either when looking (without unsealing) future bags of the official Lego build. Now got to await for arrival of Ebay parts....

    I have just ordered all the parts needed (Bricklink + Ebay) and am awaiting delivery of the model & additional parts, next step download MOC instructions........

    @Milan - The images are on page 6, this is page 23, so not the same page. Problem solved by using new parts rather than used.

    Well I tried this out when I assembled the front suspension and unfortunately each time the suspension is compressed the part holding the sloping tile (SINGLE BUSH 2 MODULE) lifts out of the black CROSS BLOCK 90° as the suspension returns to its rest position. Are the model supplied shock absorbers the extra hard type? I have ordered two extra hard to see if there is any difference.

    Arrived this morning, applied V1 side stickers & V2 Spoiler sticker, plus V1 EU numberplate. Many Thanks. William
  17. williamyzfr1
    All sorted now, V1 & V2 still available and on their way to me. Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply, I have decided to go with and already assembled the Torsion bar MOD on page 6 of this thread. Does the pimped version incorporate this? As I am not hardcore and would like to incorporate a simple MOD and still build the original Lego version. My Chiron is arriving on Tuesday!
  19. williamyzfr1
    Has anyone tried the simple MOD of fitting a third shock absorber on each side of the front suspension? Its been mentioned in this thread once or twice but I believe the idea was discarded as its not accurate or correct.
  20. williamyzfr1
    I read your PM and fired off an email to the email address you supplied. I have already emailed this address from a link on Bricklink and messaged MVDS on Bricklink but I have so far not had any reply. I am beginning to think they are no longer available.
  21. williamyzfr1
    Thank you.

    The chrome wheels detracted from the model for me so I purchased Lego Sian wheels and tyres only to discover they don't fit as the Sian wheel rims have pins. Remedy was to buy Lego inner hubs with brake discs which works well but they hide the Cada brake calipers. Anyone else done the same and modified the calipers so they can be seen again?

    My first very minor mod - I like to eliminate stickers wherever possible so I purchased from Bricklink a genuine printed "RS" wheel centre to replace the Porsche stickered round tile in the centre of the steering wheel. Very happy with the result.
  24. williamyzfr1

    Can I buy the V1 and V2 sticker sets still?

    I have just messaged the seller via Bricklink in the hope that these are still available.
