FYI, if anyone downloaded the ZIP file, they may want to redownload it.

I just finished rebuilding one for a coworker (he gave up due to the online
instructions not cutting it), and in the process found various problems with
some of the pics (extra pieces that didn't exist on the finished model,
colorcodes for tubing incorrect due to the contrast tweaks, etc), so I just
modified the pics and updated the pages and ZIP file.

I created these instructions after having a hard time building the Street
Sensation using the Lego Bit or online instructions - the contrast on the
instructions is too low, so all the black parts meld into each other,
making it hard to see what parts are added in each step.

I stepped through the entire instructions, capturing each sub-step of each
step, tweaking the contrast and brightness to make the black parts easier
to see. Note that in the process the silver parts end up looking white -
you can figure it out ;-)

Note that if you plan on building the Street Sensation in one sitting, feel
free to load the pages from this site. However, if you plan on building it
over several sittings, and want to reload the pages, I would prefer you not
do so, to keep my bandwidth usage down. So for those that want to build in
several sittings, you can download the zip file of the instructions there
(warning - 2Meg file). If you extract them with full paths, it should
extract into an easily read directory structure so that you can start on
Step 1 and work through all Steps with a simple click on the top/bottom of
each page to get to the next step.

Hope this helps someone frustrated with the online instructions.
