Just for some that may not understand the best way to go about this… (i.e: me)
What would be a simple or good way to make underglow in Automation?
3d bumper bar under the sideskirts, second lip or splitter piece under the painted one, theres a couple ways like that.
THE SHOWOFF FROM DOWN UNDER
FISCHER ANUNNAKI MULE
“WARHEAD”
Imported straight from Australia, the Anunnaki Mule is a quite strange choice for a base car; poor weight distribution, harder to get hands on, things like that. But hey, at least it comes with all-wheel drive with limited slip, all while donning the good old Fischer six-speed manual for working hard and playing hard.
This one though? All that, and much more. Replacing its pushrod V8 engine is a new, modernized 6-liter DOHC V8 fitted from the Anunnaki PE, and tuned to make 730-something horsepowers. That and an upgraded suspension kit and aero kit ensures the 'ute to be on top of the pack every time. To try and counter the engine’s weight (and totally nothing else), an entire sound system and nitrous oxide system is fitted in the bed. Oh and the neons. Don’t forget about the neons.

Found in a junkyard after one too many street races in stock form, this Nisemono Sukairain TS-R was given a new lease on life with a heavily rebuilt SC series engine, swapping from the stock twin turbo setup to a more powerful single turbo pushing well over 600hp through the beefed up AWD system and a built 6 speed manual geared to push it well over 400km/h. Carbon fibre bonnet, splitter, wing and accents have been added along with stripping out the interior and tubbing the arches to add some fatter tires on the custom bronze coloured 19" wheels and a free flowing exhaust tip to top off the build
And a poster of it to compare to the stock car

The first incarnation of the tuned Kunai could pass for a factory-built race car, but this lime green masterpiece feels like a true one-off custom build unlike anything else in the world.

I’ll just put this out there but entries are now closed.
I’d like to do a bit more of a writeup than my usual generated reviews so I’ll see what I can do.

Some notes about the competition
Pretty much everything was done today, in about 5 hours. Yes I already have my hosting sheet which I can shuffle the stat importance around on, yes I’m using chat gpt to do 95% of the writing, but I don’t think it takes away from any of the fun of competing in a competition and building a car. Coming up with writing is the hardest part of hosting duties, especially if you need scripts and such and I respect those that want to tell the story of hosting in such a way.
Still, my main point is this: These results took a week to come out because I literally didn’t touch automation in that time, I was lazy. Had I just started, it’d have been much easier, I had a lot of fun judging these cars. Either way, the results sheet will be shared and you are allowed to make use of it yourself for any competitions in the future.
I want to get back to regular challenges, not ones that give months to make something, and then take months to “judge” only to be dumped the rankings after nothing happens.
Written with the help of ChatGPT, any resemblance to the dreams of real people is entirely unintended, I hate spreadsheets and people who can't finish their challenges

Yeah, not completely surprised my subpar styling choices (i.e barely different from stock) was going to hold it back. And I tried doing some style of underglow but I didn’t really try hard enough to make it work so just left it without and let it be more “proper race car for the road” vibe which while I prefer, is obviously not what the challenge intended.
Anyway, congrats to @Oreology and @iivansmith!

Wow! Did not expect that outcome haha. Actually, looking at the spreadsheets, we were extremely lucky to just edge out the win! Really nice work to @MrCheez!
This car was based on a previous HNC car (Rusa Kunai HNC2) with almost the exact same engineering and tuning, except for a twin-turbo V8 instead of a crazy-built Inline-6. Also extremely lucky we decided to tone down the suspension tuning a bit to reduce SVC… and it was SVC that almost killed us here lol.
Anyway, me and @iivansmith are interested in hosting the next one, please stay tuned! But I really LOVE this concept of having multiple “bosses” you defeat so… might take some inspiration lol.

Hey guys! Just an update, I actually have the idea and concept ready, but seeing there’s a lot of other challenges should I release it soon or maybe wait another week?
(It’s a sportscar racing theme)
I’m thinking once I open the forum there will be at least a week of rules deliberation too, so take that into consideration.
- Release it this weekend (1-2 days from now)
- Release it next weekend

Hi everyone, so I think based on the results I will release it next weekend (12th/13th July).
There’s quite a lot of challenges already with similar timelines converging to similar deadlines, from CSC, CSR, JOC, to Weekend Warrior.
This one’s timeline I plan to be somewhat due early August, possible same as TEV just to let you guys more time for these other big challenges too.
However, if you all want to get ready, here’s the concept:
You build a fast sportscar or supercar for the police to catch elite street racers. Year is open from 1980 to 2020 - it’s a game anyway, so you can use older cars but just the engineering will be based on 2020. I want it to be accessible so the years are large so you can re-use or rework some of your existing cars perhaps.
Anyway, here’s a sneak peak:
