While visiting Ivan from IDIC.at, we decided to drift the mustang in his living room. The powersource is of course the LPEpower V8. Here's the result:

I thought someone might find detailed pictures of how the mustang is put together usefull, so here's a galery full of them. Enjoy.

The mustang handles excellently now, so we gave it a spin in the yard, trying out its cornering capabilities.

I decided to improove my testbed model, to make it a more efficient machine.
First i made the car 4 studs narrower, then i completly replaced the front suspension for an all bionicle ball joint variant, which is now extremly stiff and precise.

The whole engine bay is of course made to fit the LPEpower V8. The rear axle is a solid axle again, 2 bottom links, 1 upper link, a panhard bar and springs. Same as 2005 when i first made the car, but finally properly executed.

At the end of kockefest, when the visitor crowd cleared there was enough room for some driving. The smooth linoleum floor provided the perfect surface for some drifting action. Unfortunately, the designated driver - Zblj - was able to crash the car. Also, the Challenger had its first drive with the LPEpower inline 3 engine. As you can see in the video, it needed some help, but you must understand that the drivetrain losses were huge and the challenger is a very heavy car. Plus, it has bigger wheels than the mustang. But the inline 3 managed it well after some slight help.

Nicjasno and LPEpower participated on their first public lego exhibition this weekend. It is called "kockefest" and is organized by the slovenian Kockeklub. HERE you can see the gallery of pictures that i took on the event.

During the last week i decided to sort all my parts. You must understand that untill now, i had NO order. I had a desk full of parts and parts in various boxes all mixed up. Finding stuff was getting difficult, and knowing which parts i had and in what quantities was basically impossible.

Therefore i decided to sort everything out. I bought sorting boxes and started sorting. First the brand new unused parts, then the older used parts. Box by box. I have documented all of this for your enjoyment and divided it into three galleries:

This is power without control. The mustang crashed after making a wrong turn. HERE is the gallery of both pics i took from the unfortunate event. All of the Mustang LPEpower V8 driveby videos were made _after_ that crash. The engine that powered it, can of course be bought on LPEpower.

I decided to delete all of the spam bot accounts from the user database in the forum, so untill i do that, i disabled the forum, so that no new posts will get erased when the cleaned database is uploaded. I hope it'll be online by this evening.

update: forums back online. Spam bots deleted. If any legitimate user accounts have been erased, contact me asap.

So, there it is. You can finally buy a perfect LEGO V8. Go and check the new V8 on LPEpower!
