The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

reminder that roundmaster still considering back seat for praticalbility, this is one of my reason dropped my buggy small RWD coupe.

but i do agree that car its too cool for teens first car

My thoughts exactly :stuck_out_tongue: I fully expect a more realistic/practical contender to take the crown, especially since mid-engine has super high service costs (my total running costs are similar to a 35mpg front-engine car). But I really enjoyed trying to squeeze as much sportiness out of the budget as possible, and designing the looks was a blast too!

The front end kind of reminds me of a Veyron replica, made me lol :laughing:

Totally badass tho.

Yep! That kind of came about by accident, but once I saw it I loved it :smiley:

And your front end reminds me of an Aston replica. Having a Veyron and an Aston as choices for a first car, looks like EnryGT5 has things pretty good :smile:

Yeah the body is very Aston, and the only grille that fits is also the Aston grille lol.

So I took another look and said no, the headlights have to be different, the car’s dimensions are cuter than that!

So, you ended up with an Aston X RX-8?

Fear my mighty 84.1 horsepower! Yes, seriously, that’s all the straight-six in the Dynamite D4 can put out. On the plus side, it does have 800+ liters of cargo space and four seats… But I didn’t build it to win. I was just having fun.

well from what he said. extra passenger space is nice AND a practical amount of cargo space is crucial.
which means. well yes, 4 seats aren’t neccesary, but IT’S NICE

true, that.

Well, we’ll see. There aren’t many modern small bodies that will fit 4 door or even 2 + 2, without sacrificing a fair bit.

well. why not go a bit classic? :slight_smile:
and excellent mileage from your car, which i assume, is using MPFI?

your coupe can if you make it convertible and of course the price will skyrocketed

why not pushing the fuel economy more? mine can reach 5.4l/100km though

and since the big fish already show their card i guess there no hurt anymore to show my full stats http://m.imgur.com/a/1TE7S

yeah, after reviewing the tech, I decided to go modern for fuel injection purposes. Less fuel = significantly lower running costs. I could have actually had slightly better stats from using an NA engine, and it probably would have made a lot more sense (I mean, MX-5 is always NA stock for a good reason).

And @Denta I strongly considered going MX-5 like coupe, but felt that yes, the price and weight would make it not worth it, besides, there’s not a whole lot of point, I just feel like I wouldn’t want to sell a convertible roadster to a first car buyer. I mean, how would we, as a community, react to somebody posting in the My Ride section of the forum asking if buying an MX-5 NB was a good first car choice :joy: They’d probably then proceed to ignore absolutely everybody screaming at them that it’s a terrible idea unless they also want to learn how to maintain a car that likes to fall apart on the fly and just look like a douchebag, and me, I don’t want to sell no car to no douchebag hahahaha.

I didn’t push much more than this because I’m starting to build cars for lore purposes, over cars for stats purposes. Also I frankly went with the first thing that popped into my head, which was this, and didn’t really do much more than that.

wait what? i though miata had a bit of a reputation for being decently reliable??

or is it the NB in particular?

Oh they’re pretty reliable. Except for the manifold and the clutch, and the soft top, and most of the interior trimmings… and maybe after about 200000km :joy: (which is about how far your average NB has gone these days).

ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit

how long till deadline? i forgot it needed to be marked up 20%… shieeeet

2 hours from now? good luck

Argh i missed where we said open beta and have no entry for this round…

You can submit a car from stable if the cars are judged in open beta, it just doesn’t work the other way around.

well i forget to mark it 20% too and i dont have time
