Cool! The way you modelled the turbo, intake, and exhaust couldn't have
been done better in such a small package, IMO. Tell me, are the
intercoolers air-to-water, or air-to-air? :-)
While on the subject of cars, here is a Honda CR-X I built from parts
from a couple 8880's, 8865's, and Mindstorms sets. Warning, the site is
for high-bandwidth connections only, unless you're really patient!
There are almost 10 megs of pics included:

I am currently working on building a Honda NSX with a 5-speed + reverse
gearbox, but it has a shifter that is a lot more realistic than the 8448
shifter. So far I have completed on this car: the lower frame, rear
suspension, exhaust piping, clutch-type limited slip differential,
90-degree V-6 transverse engine, single disc clutch, 5-speed gearbox +
reverse, partial front suspension, and onboard air jacks... My goal is
to make this one better than my CR-X in every respect. If anybody wants
to see it, I can post preliminary pics.

Cheers,
Henry C.

| Wow, Henry! I'm really impressed by your CR-X (I have two friends that have CR- Xs [affectionately called 'slot cars', due to their remarkable traction at speed]). The detail you have here is amazing; I can't wait to see your NSX. -Cheese (...) (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)
