PLAY ON OPEN BETA AL RILMA
Have a read
Let’s try this again then…
Well, coming off the slower-than-expected QF1 Roadsters Of Romance, we decided to try and do something with a little more mass market appeal. I am sure it will get better from here. For now however, we will be having you make MY1986 Luxury Cars. No this isn’t a nod to anything in particular, you are just going insane.
Lets just cut the bullraisin and get into the rules. The higher-ups have told me that I in fact, cannot cuss. Raisinheads…
Get to the meat of things
It’s tossing and turning
We have read thru the feedback you have given us in our PM’s, in the threads and on our Discord Server, and well, it’s been a rough start 
The rules will be a little more lax this time, to allow you people to have an easier time, and to make shooting for those high scores a little more fun. Have a look at the rules below
Have a look
One in a Million
In this challenge, we are specifically looking for roughly fullsize cars. Country of origin doesn’t matter, what matters is that the body meets these requirements.
-
Model Year 1986
-
Can be either Sedan, Wagon or Coupe, no hatchbacks
-
Must have 4 or more doors
-
Total interior volume (cabin + cargo) should be roughly 3400L for sedans, and 4500L for wagons. You can sit a little below.
-
You must have some sort of rust-proofing on the chassis
And that is all there is to that. We are lenient on interior volume, as it is quite inconsistent at changing when you morph the body. Just make sure the car is large
Check 'em out
Easy come, but I think Easy Go
To further compensate for the mistakes of yesteryear, the engine building rules are very lax this time. You should be able to meet them With A Little Love.
- Once again, set the year to 1986
- Run 95 Premium
- Min. Reliability is 60
- Min. Smoothness is 65
- Max noise of 37
-
F/I rules go as follows
-
Turbine-based chargers are limited to a max. compressor size of 65mm
-
Max allowed boost from a TC is .6 bar
-
Roots/Screw chargers are limited to a max capacity of 2000cc and a ratio of at most 1.4
Ok, go crazy go stupid. If you can meet the stats with it, you are free to run it.

To know you is to love you
Now for the part where we really thin the herd. The trim rules. There aren’t many, but they will make you have to compromise, or really know your raisin to do well.
- Min. Drivability of 47, easy if you aren’t bad
- Min Comfort of 40, again, should be easy
- Min Reliability of 50
- Practicality of at least 38

You have $30000 approx. cost to play with
1400 max SVC
16 million total Techpool, no negative points allowed
You don’t need to be a Lucky Guy to actually meet these, just use your beautiful little heads <3
How it works and what you need
You can win, if you want
If you took part in either ABS-01P1 or ABS-QF1 you might already be aware of how things work here, but to those not in the know, please have a look thru the instructions below. They include how to enter, how we score your car, and what engineering stats have multipliers.
See Instructions
Sophisticated Lady
We run all entered cars thru a public style-vote poll. Best total score wins, simple as. We also ask some members for their personal favorites that we will then give a little stamp of approval, that wont affect score.
To ensure a good score, take flattering images of your car. You can ask others for help, even me if you trust my skills enough. Keep in mind that a public vote will be very unpredictable, so don’t get your testes in a twist over a low score.
See Details
Oh oh oh, little Queenie
As for engineering, it is a simple “more is better” matter. Higher stats means a higher score.
As for multipliers, well, here they are
- Comfort, Drivability, 1.2x
- Reliability, Safety, Cost, 1.1x
- Fuel Economy, PU, SVC, Practicality, 1.0x
These multipliers seem strange for a reason, we are experimenting. Next time, they might work differently. Please give us feedback. We truly need it.
See the Deets
Living in Devotion
