Hey guys, I've been lurking the boards for some time now,
I used to play a lot with lego when I was a kid but stopped when I got older.
After seeing some lego sets at local stores I decided to buy a set and get hooked to lego again :P
here is my WIP 8070 supercar with some mods:
-V12 engine (V8 engines in lego are boring lol)
-replaced the original "gearbox" with a 5 speed + reverse (a slightly compacter version of Nathanaël Kuipers conceptcar, the gear ratio's are the same)
-onboard compressor
-pneumatic doors, hood, rear wing
-working incar steering wheel
-modified hood opening mechanism
the hardest part was the hood mechanism with the V12 engine, there isn't a lot of room in the front but so far i'm very satisfied with the result
the car still needs work, mostly cleaning up and the interior can be a lot better
