  1. Hi, I just started here, so to introduce: Im 17, and have been working on lego for a long time. Over the years, my brother and I have built many technic builds, mechs and pinball machines, but for the past around 1 and a half years, have been making an original 1/8 scale technic car frame. At this point we duplicated it and I'm going to make the Jag cx-75 and he's making a Pagani Utopia. We have included a custom gearbox with working paddleshifters, steering from wheel (not a hog fan) and deployable rear wing connected to the adjustable suspension. Looking back, maybe the path we should've taken with this car was to use other people's designs for some of the mechanisms (adjustable sus and gearbox especially) which would've made our model a lot more reliable and compact but we wanted to be original. Either way, the outer panels are probably the trickiest part- especially as the looks were the main reason for building the cars. There are some bits that I could use some help on. First the rear lights which I have already started on (see pic.- the bottom inner section should be red also just dont have that color). I am trying to get the led line to be as thin as possible so for the outer light section I used the small technic panel fairings 21 and 22 upside down, and for the inner ones to get the right angle- fairings 7 and 8 and then 2 and a half bricks space before the red tooth piece held on the end, and a bendable tube around the top. If there was a better piece to fill the 2.5 gap and get a smooth transition between the blue (supposed to be red) faring and the tooth that would help alot. Another thing on the back that is going to be tricky is the diffuser shape, im trying to work that out. Second, I havent started on the side yet, because I have no ideas at all of what piece to use for the scoop intake that flows from the rear wheel through the door, getting thinner as it goes. I havent seen any piece that would look like that. Also, I'm looking for pieces to make the front grill shape and front lights. Also trying to work out door mechanism. Thanks for the help!
  2. Thanks for the advice, Im going to start a new thread. Wow, thats awesome that you saw one tho, I only found it from asphalt 8+9 and wanted to make it from there, but seeing it in life would be amazing.
  3. I just signed up, would anyone be able to help me find a piece or pieces to make the scooped out shape on the side panel and through the door in 1/8 scale? Also the inner section of back lights is tricky, but for the outer section im using a small red technic panel upside down (panel fairings 21 and 22) to get the thin line, and for the inside im try ing to use an even smaller one on the lowest part (fairings 7 and 8) with small tooth at the other end, but with nothing to fill the gap. Last problem- I need a piece for the front center grill, if anyone could help find some pieces that would be awesome! thanks
