I haven’t build a car in ages, let alone enter a challenge, but this looks like real fun :smiley:

I had a good car going but the game decided it wasn’t meant to run, can’t run it on any track or the game crashes, this might be an issue

Aye.

I will stick with a normally aspirated engine as planned.

Screw that, Group B style homologation all the way, isn’t that what timing is for? To slap turbos on everything???

(Am tempted to shoehorn in a larger engine to the EVO RC… The aluminium 2.8L V8 is somewhat limited in its potential. Or maybe I should pick another car…)

That’s a really small V8. My I3’s bigger than that.

Am I correct to understand drivability comes into play only if you are slower than cops? Otherwise you can have 0 and it will make no diference.

Spoiler alert: Police cars will be from Automationverse, so you can do your bets on every country.

I imagine this thing will vibrate the scrap out of just about any car in no time…

4,072cc with 29.7 smoothness. It’s like driving a paint shaker. Thankfully, it’s not as bad as some I’ve done like that, where they’re as bad as driving a paint shaker on a road full of potholes.

This sounds like a petrolhead’s test of manliness :slight_smile:

Does it have to be an LC car or can Sandbox cars be entered?

53

So, just for clarification, you want us to make a tune of a car already present on the forum, with trim year from 46 - 95? Or can we make a new car altogether?

And if we get any money left after tuning the car (say it cost $15500, giving $1500 more to spend) do we carry this over into the pool for repairs and tickets?

54

There’s a scenario in the beta about using an engine as a coffee frother or something, smoothness required is under 5. Note: beta has new smoothness calculations and you’ll be bound to hit that mark :joy:

@gridghost I think OP stated the budgets were separate.

I haven’t been trying to build for the scenarios, but I’ve found that it is indeed possible to make engines with 0 smoothness, and as expected, they have 0 reliability, too.

These are all sandbox cars :smile:

You can make a completely new car if you want. It just has to be made before 1995. You need two trims, a stock trim and a tuned trim. The budget for the tuned trim must be $17,000 at 0% markup.

EDIT:

Nope. Originally we thought it should just be the money left over from tuning, but it turned out to be too restrictive. So everyone gets $2500 dollars for repairs and tickets regardless of how much money is left over.

Alright my car is back to life and faster than ever, thank God the game didn’t corrupt it, all I had to do was restart my PC

59

I forgot to mention it; but there will be mistake (drivability) rolls as well. So no, 0 drivability is not viable.

I’m in, Solid rear axle incoming :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: I am so tempted to enter a big truck with a driver modeled after a crazy redneck I know.
