Lego 8448 Super street sensation super car

This is my lego technic 8448 model car, it has an 8 cylinder engine, working suspension, a 5 speed gearbox, steering, diff and opening doors. pretty cool isn't it, my brother had one when i was young but sold it a few years ago to fund other collections. I always liked it, so i managed to persuade my brother to buy me last year and here it is. I have the box and everything to go with and every piece is in mint condition :)

can you give some tips on the gearbox? i have the 8070 supercar and i want to mod it.

@audir1thenewone I don't think I can really describe it. There are lots of pieces in the gearbox that are purpose built for the kit. Your best bet is to try and buy a gearbox on ebay.

I fel like my cars are pieces of crap now

@Hortu9099 dont be disheartened by this, its a kit direct from Lego not one of my own creations. The only things I have made that aren't lego kits is the house on my lego town, oh and also a small lego Transit van and a lego Plymouth fury from the film Christine. But there only small. My brother created a lego Jonny 5 from short circuit. But most of my lego is built from kits.

Consider yourself lucky to even have this set I've been chasing after this set for almost a decade but don't have the money for it. It's my dream to get this, partly because I still cannot for the life of me figure out how that 6-speed transmission works.

@MO3MINI what about that fan on the car. did you connect that to the pistons?

How many overdrive gears does it have?

im just shooting this out there, i want to make my 8070 car all wheel drive but i am having trouble getting the steering, drive shafts and suspension all to work, any tips or instructions i can use to make this happen?

@eriktheg500 sorry late reply, you can pick the motors up pretty cheap on ebay. you'll also need a certain size cog depending on which type of cog is on the engine.

@MO3MINI

okay then where do I get the motor?
