aha that is pretty awesome. I have seen something similar to this before at walmart, but it wasn't a 32v v8. Pretty sure it was a 4 banger

What does this have to do with an Acura CL ??

If it's not about a CL, it doesn't belong here...

Moving to ramblings... where it'll probably be merged with the lego thread...

Nevermind... Fuzzy moved it to cartalk...

I built one of these years ago. Everything inside worked together. You even had to lubricate everything with oil so it runs smooth. Turn the fan, watch the camshaft turn, the pushrods/springs/pistons move, etc...

I liked it enough that I would buy another one just to have...The one I had got abused by family members and broke, so I got rid of it..

WOW! I thought Hyundai was a slap in the face of Honda. Now Lego beat Honda in developing a V8?
