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.

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,
