I’m assuming it means same base engine? As in keeping the 2L 4-cylinder (or whatever) and tuning that up instead of swapping it out for a 5L V8 etc…?
@thecarlover correction?

@thecarlover correction?
I’ve created a 2001 spec of my original engine with new materials, valves and a turbo. DOHC/4/VVL/T instead of SOHC/2.
It’s still an i5 1996cc.
Take a 1974 FM HiWay GR2000 bodyshell.
Drop in a new spec engine. Same size but modern materials, modern VVL head and a turbo.
Wider, larger wheels meant that we had to extend the wheel arches to accommodate the new rims and rubber.
New 6 speed manual transmission that still feeds the rear wheels.
New modern LED lights all round.
Luxury CD to entertain you.
Important stuffs…
366bhp
0-60 - 4.6s
Top speed - 158mph
1/4 mile - 12.66s
31mpg
Price (@ 0% and no safety) $24,922
Quality sliders are bit messy, especially on the trim. I could tune the car up with the sliders to get good numbers while conforming to the 25,000 $ budget, only for the price to increase and go above the budget after returning.
Any ruling on this?
Also, is the “original engine” supposed to be “same engine family as the engine on the production car”?
@Urbanliner I’m not sure what your issue with the price is? As long as the modified trim stays within the ET/PU and price limits, it’s fine.
I just had a problem where the price would be under-rated, not to mention that the settings that caused the problem would violate the PU regulation as well.
The modified Julio that was used in the Agile and Angry films was based upon the race version of the Julio family, keeping with the same 2L 5 cylinder engine found in both the road and race specifications the engine department deep in the skunkworks of Flamers Motor Company managed to squeeze a massive 450bhp out of the Julio. In order to be able to put down this much power they had to modify the drivetrain to be all wheel drive.
At the request of the film director, most of the power is now being sent to the back wheel in order to get those sweet, sweet, drifting shots. In order to make sure that the car is able to stop the brakes have been upgraded to large rotor carbon ceramic disks with an aggressive, racey pad.
To show off the style that the Flamers Motor Company provides the Julio was provided with a Luxury CD player as well as a sports interior. You will also notice that the Julio has been lowered from even its racing setup, as is customary with modified vehicles, to get that true cruising style.
To make sure that the Julio is truly unmissable a special edition colour was created for this Julio called “Need For Orange”, a colour that has never been seen before in the Flamers Motor Company range. As a styling flair racing stripes have been added, as we all know, stripes add 50 bhp.

Ehm… I started modifying my car, got the car up to spec, started modifying the engine, wasnt sure would it be good enough, tried swap engine, equal results so the original was good enough. Realized I didnt save the orginal.
In other words,
Could you send my car to me, so I can grab the engine back.
Yeah, let’s pretend that it’s actually just a regular FAAL Coupe, since it would be absolutely disastrous to have ruined an actual Evo 4. Which they did. But the public isn’t supposed to know.
Either way, list of aesthetic:
And engine wise, it gets the full Derrickson Stage 4 treatment including:
The car has been dyno’d at 348awhp/428awtq, which means 400hp and 492nm of torque at the flywheel.
I don’t know why but I feel the need to tell you that yes, it does have brake calipers.
You can download it yourself from the PM you sent.
Feeling dumb now
Didn’t actually post my part 1 car, so I’ll just combine the posts
A sports car developed in the late 80s for the 90s, the Astaroth FX-T was the highest trim level at the time of 1992. Its 2.6l Flat-6 and AWD system was meant for a larger vehicle in their line up originally, but it was stuffed into the relatively small chassis of the Astaroth, giving it both a relatively light weight of 1275kg with both 280hp and AWD.
Originally commissioned by 5oundBass to showcase their soundsystems at various shows, this car was also determined to be a perfect fit for the upcoming The Agile and the Angry film. While it mostly had aesthetic modifications, it does in fact have some decent performance to back up its appearance.
Aesthetics:
bxb Astaroth type A bodykit
bxb Astaroth type d hood

Summary:
Tuned for grip-style racing, this modified Epoch M50 Turbo demonstrates both the advantages and disadvantages of a mid-engined convertible sports car. The ageing 1.7L v6 has been removed and replaced with a fresh 2.7L twin-turbo v6 from a more contempory Epoch, and has been tuned to deliver usable power for the street, rather than chasing outright peak dyno numbers. A complete revamp of the suspension and gearbox gives this vehicle a new lease of life, and helps it to compete against modern sports cars and even supercars. Due to the rearwards weight bias of a mid-engined design, and the massive increase in torque compared to the stock vehicle, a noticeable staggered wheel and tyre set-up has been installed. This helps to alleviate some of the risk of snap-oversteer, however only a truly skilled MR driver will be able to reach this car’s maximum potential!
