Hey OP, your boi clearly looking for a people’s car that isn’t founded by Communism or Fascism. Well, that recipe happens to start in Moldova with 500g of Potential, mix in a cupful of Social Ethics, add a spoonful of Capitalism and just a pinch of Hope, then mix together until you get Bogliq Automotive. Once formed, take the Bogliq dough, put it in a Union lined baking factory then roast it in the oven of the USDM. When the Market demands a new model, pull out the dough and serve it; hopefully it’s finished being cooked, hahaha!!!
Thus the Bogliq Busker 518G was born; the fiery pit of hellfire, otherwise known as Generations II: The full line challenge. It is a Gen 1 Busker so it’s resale values haven’t been artificially inflated by the DLH halo cars, or the much better looks of the Mk II facelift. It’s decent on regular unleaded and has room for 5 adults AND their luggage, hahaha!!! All Bogliq’s are sold with catalytic converters, unless there is no access to unleaded fuels, so this car is fitted with one.
OOC: For full disclosure, I should have entered this car into the 1981 competition round, but I was embarrassed by it’s looks and was too ashamed to air it publicly (outside of my lore thread, which people can safely ignore, hahaha!!!). This car has had some extra detail added to fix the barrenness of the lore car, but no main fixtures were added or changed, plus I changed the colour of the lower bumper/flanks so it wouldn’t look so terrible! Nothing mechanically has changed, either on the engine or the trim, so this is a bonafide Generations II lore entry car… I’d love to get your feedback outside of the competition parameters; PM me with your thoughts if youhave the time, or desire, to do so!
A brand new Soviet car joins the markets of Finland. Suprisngly, they managed to make a FWD for once. It’s got a fairly small 1.4L engine, pushing 57 horsepower. This partiucular version is the cheapest trim available, but it was refined for sale in Europe. It got painted bumpers, hubcaps, Latin badges, radio and defroster lines on the rear window. It’s a fine car, don’t you worry. It’ll take you anywhere you need to go, especially with such clearance.
Crusoe Dual Sport: Dual carbs and dual exhaust make this the ultimate Crusoe automobile. 68 lightning-fast horsepower, and a luxurious* interior with an 8-track player included. The new, most powerful trim of the classic Crusoe, since 1965.
Just back from full testing in Utah, the Nakamoto Sunset proves that quality transportation doesn’t have to be expensive. The responsive 1.7l I4 engine features features fuel injection and is mated to a standard 3spd auto. The hatchback version offers sporty looks and plenty of cargo versatility. An 8-track player, steel wheels with body color accents, and rear wiper are standard on the base model.
Autodelta uses names of animals in different languages for their cars. The Autodelta Elaphus is named after the mighty red deer. This car was far ahead of it's time when Autodelta introduced it in 1980. With front wheel drive giving the car much better practicality than most of it's competitors. Customers from cold regions all over the world valued the perfect stability in harsh conditions because of the FWD layout. This layout also offers the Elaphus an increase in cabin size, making the middle seat in the rear actually useful for anyone larger than a kid. The Elaphus is available in many different trims. Starting with a 1600cc four cylinder engine with single barrel dual carbs and a manual gearbox with 4 gears for the 1600 GL (Grand Luxury). The higher spec 1600 GLX (Grand Luxury eXtra) is fitted with Deltatronic mechanical fuel injection on the same 1600cc engine and either a 5 gear manual or 3 gear automatic. The top spec 2000 GLX has a 2000cc four cylinder and electronic fuel injection.
Even though Henry doesn’t have the budget for any of the GLX trims, the 1600 GL already offers a lot for it’s value: The car comes standard with power steering, left and right rear-view mirrors, a third brake light, a rear fog light, a sunroof, 3-point seatbelts on all seats but the middle rear seat, beige velours seats, headrests for every seat, windscreen wipers with interval, headlight wipers, trunk release switch in the interior and a fuel door release switch in the interior.
With all these options the local Autodelta dealer in Helsinki is certain they can provide Henry with a lovely Elaphus 1600 GL. Making sure Henry can safely travel anywhere he wants for years to come. The overdrive on the 4th gear means the car is fuel efficient and comfortable. With the engine doing 2400rpm at a cruising speed of 100km/h.
Stats:
Combined fuel economy: 8.7l/100km
Top speed: 186km/h
0-100 acceleration: 14.6 s
Weight: 980 kg
Power: 55 kW
Torque: 115.5 Nm
Not a fast one… but, a comfortable one, roomy and reliable.
You have here a nicely appointed interior with a radio, a reliable 1.2L unit with the latest fuel injection technologies, all the bonuses from the Export trim and a 3 automatic gearbox!
The LB means that it is a low-mid spec model. Basically a base model with a few extra creature comforts and features, but not quite reaching the Mid spec model.
Features include:
1.6L (1627cc) I4 producing 71hp. Base engine
4 speed all-syncro gearbox, top speed 170km/h. (rwd)
12" steel wheels with front disc brakes.
Standard interior with optional cassette player included.
Hydraulic power-steering.
Foglights and rear wiper.
This particular example was used as a dealership review unit for around 4 years. That’s why it has a few strange additions to it, such as the radio and rear wiper.
the thing is i was 100% sure i was under budget when i sent the car in, but when i opened the car today it was magically $100 above the budget for some reason… i dont know if it is over budget on the one i sent to madcat so i wrote this story just in case
I have encountered a bug sometimes where the cost of the car stops updating when you change things. Exiting the editor and going back in usually fixes it. You might have run afoul of that. Or you changed something like swaybar stiffness which can actually nudge you to the next $100 if you’re not careful!
Maybe your car has some morph issues? I’ve had that with a model I sent in for another challenge. It not only completely threw the fixtures out of their place, but also changed the specs. Just enough so I was above instead of right at the budget limit.
I think the best is to find out why it changed, and ask the host if the file they got has the same issue. If it is for example morph issues, it’s possible the challenge host doesn’t experience the problem and actually gets the car how you intended it. And if the host does experience the issue, you can ask if you are allowed to give your car another look, fixing the issue and sending in a revised file.
As like @mart1n2005 said: I don’t think the host will allow a car that is over budget, as that would open up to possible unfair advantages.
i totally understand and that’s great advice! ive asked madcat to review the file i sent and hopefully its still showing under budget for them. the morphs all look normal. its a big possibility that i mightve changed something so that it went over budget. im just gonna have to wait for an answer and see how it is.
alright, problem solved! i just had to adjust the brakes a little to take those $100 off, so now its legal! gonna edit the description now to be accurate
This is the 1980 AT type-D, this boi has a wheelbase of 2m and it only weight about 680kg. it’s powered by a 1L lnline 3 making 45hp and it has a fwd drivetrain with a 5 speed manual. It can goes over 150km/h and it and goes from 0-100km/h in just 15.8 seconds so that you are not slow as a ferry. It has a fuel economy of 8.4L/100km and it only cost you $12100 and a services cost of $534.5 so that you don’t need sell your kidneys. It has a standard interior, a basic AM radio and you can fit 4 peoples in this tiny boi. It also won’t get you killed in a small crash too!
model showed here are with extra additions which cost you about $800
yes this is what our fella will be driving, a 1979 outdated but reliable as fuck spanish hatchback.
it makes whatever horsepower along with some torques. consumes idk, fucking 7L/100km, has enough trunk so you can hide all your mental issues and have some space left for beer.
it’s not cheap but it’s not expensive either, 10500$ iirc
Henry wants a cheap car, and so he’s gonna get a cheap car. Introducing the 1980 Hinode Rusa 1200, upgraded slightly for the Finnish market. It’s got an engine, seats, and enough room for a second home in case Henry can’t keep up with his rent. It also has a locking diff for the icy roads, and slightly more safety than its Asian cousin because Yurop.
Cheap price and cheap maintenance. Only $9840 for a car that will last 50+ years in tropical conditions, at least.
Van and pickup models are also available, but Henry’s probably gonna opt for the MPV because it’s comfier than the van and pickup.
