added some horsepower! :)

Got bored last night and snapped a few pics with no tripod...which is always a fail.




I'm planning on making something for the TL using LEGO technic pieces. Any guesses?!

Definitely unique. I like the roll cage. The damn thing looks like it's about ready to lift off to Jupiter. Job well done. #1 in originality.

Your car is gorgeous!!

But side profile seems to be missing something.

You need something done with your side skirts.
Something styled like the Chargespeed sides for the STI.




Then side profile will be 100%.

car looks SICK, but as someone that works for NASA, the sticker makes no sense and has no place on a CAR.

Loving it as always, Eric. I agree with whoever said you should look into the "ChargeSpeed" style side-skirts. That would really complete the look you have going on...

The space shuttle TL strikes again! Looking good, Eric. The funny thing is, before I opened the thread, I thought you had incorporated Legos into the car...guess I got ahead of myself.

Calm down man, don't bust a nut over it. It's no different than someone putting a Yankee's or Cowboy's decal on their car. The man is a fan of NASA. Simple as that

Yeah maybe if Faiz, Brian or Rodney were to do that than all of 3g would follow for the 10+hp increase

Thanks for everyone's comments! I've been slacking on running photoshoots. It's mostly because no one around is able to hang out for car nights. I'll try and get some decent shots up within a month or two.

As for the NASA sticker, it definitely helped pick up a few extra horsepower for some additional thrust! ALL systems go. Houston, we do not have a problem.

In regards to the comptech supercharger, nothing has given me any trouble since installing it back in the summer.


If you had any trouble guessing what it is that I might be building for the TL..the answer is: A voltex styled wing built entirely out of LEGO technic liftarms and pins.
