Hey guys,

I'm a big fan of lego technic (from when i was a kid) and creator (since the last 2 years)

really dig the highway speedster (have 2 of them)

The original car: (set)

the pics come from: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=78797 and they belong to RUFUS

How it started:

I've stumbeled upon a video recently in the youtube lego channel about making cars "cool" with flames and all :tongue:

it gave me some inspiration and this is The result:

I've lowered the car a little bit and did an attempt to make the body smoother:

V8 engine and crome exhaust:

new interior: (handbrake and some gauges):

wing + lowered the body and gave the back more of a GT racing car look:

Minifigs fit without a problem due to the lowered floor (they even fit with the roof on):

Great Mod! I've never really payed much attention to creator stuff as I'd always figured it wasn't minfig scale and I'm mainly focussed on castle stuff. But this set, and your mod, look great. Be interested to know how you lowered it to fit the figures in after reading through the review as well.

Thanks a lot!

to lower the floor you'll need to remove the 2 blue long technic beams (chassis) and replace that with 4 4stud (3hole) ones or something else you come up with to put the axles trough.

that allows you to make a new floor very low in the car

I cleaned up the bottom using white plates with a black plate on top to keep it in 1 piece and act as a black floor inside the car, should be a very easy mod but you'll need some spares to mount everything back together

underneath: (1 big white plate should even be better)

and the doors still open ;)

Can you make a tutorial about how making that? It looks very cool! :classic:

Very nice! I too am a big fan of this set and did some similar mods. I particularly like how you handled the side coves below the doors and the back end is nice too.

Good work!
