Iâm thinking of submitting a tuned, coachbuilt version of one of these⊠Or an updated version of this one. However, I know that if all else fails, I could submit something else in place of either of those.
I can see this being a confusion point for a lot. despite me explaining it
So if you look into the spreadsheet, you will see after putting down your reliability and env. res. numbers, the calculator spits out a score on the right hand side, left to the gearbox selector.
THIS is your reliability and env. res. score that I will be using.
Of course the table I included there doesnât 100% represent all sorts of cars and situations since everything is different, so how the lore for them reads on your end and how I represent it in the reviews on my end is something we both have to figure out on the go.
Thanks for reading!!!

For road legality, are closed pop-up/hidden headlights fine?
Iâm assuming they are always legal, even when retracted.
Never been an issue, so thatâs fine.
I went to the trouble of copying the main sheet, with each one showing the stats for a different potential entry - a worthwhile step for anyone unsure as to exactly what they want to enter here, if they have at least two options available.
Did I miss a techpool limit?
monter tuck?
What is your view on interior judging here? I can see not caring about them in a normal CSR, but sometimes the interior is a big part of the carâs quirkiness. Look at any pre 90s CitroĂ«n just to have a still rather common and relateable example.
Iâm not sure if Jazz wants an actual monster truck - thereâs already another challenge for that here.
They wouldnât be required, although a particularly quirky 3D-fixture interior would grant a small bonus if fitted.
Hello, Iâve been away for a bit, had to deal with some IRL shenanigans. I will quickly answer some questions now, and then Iâve something to post and once thatâs done, I will officially open up the round for a month!
If it looks road legal, Iâll accept it. I will however require you to set the suspension height as high as you possibly can or until the game bugs out before you resort to Advanced Trim Settings.
Interiors will be included in the judgement if itâs a part of the design. A car where most of the quirk comes from engineering and exterior design side, itâs pretty much a bonus if you add them and wonât really be judged. If what youâre doing is partially or fully dependent on the interior, then yes it will be weighed during the overall design judgement. Whether or not you need the interior is your own call. Ofc, anyone is free to consult with me beforehand.
Technically, correct. A full blown monster truck by itself and no changes made to it is a shit car to own for any of the usecases. But if it had say⊠adjustable suspensions or a way to use its height as an advantage⊠you get the idea.

Final Notes, Opening the Round and Sample Submission Style
Some last words before I open up the round
If youâre thinking HEY deliberations ended like 2 days ago, then youâd be correct. However Iâve been a bit busy with some IRL stuff. Google Bangladesh Government if youâre curious. Returning to the country for a bit was absolutely worth it to be a part of this.
Want to thank everyone who helped me find out the issues with the calculator and asked many questions about what and how to submit cars in order to make the challenge more accessible and interesting for everyone.
I had not a lot of expectations for this one and was on the fence about hitting the post button, but it has been rather great and I am grateful for that.
AH!
Nearly all of you have YET to notice something that I have not talked about in this round, thatâs usually mandated in other CSRâs or just most other rounds in general. TLDR, Iâm allowing the use of different alternatives in this case, and unless it makes zero sense for your particular car, you wonât get dinged.
Obviously I wonât reveal it, and I suggest others to not reveal it as well once you realize what it is, so it stays interesting.
Submissions Are Opening!!!
Here we go, from this point on, CSR 163 Submissions are open.
One small change Iâm allowing myself before I do so, youâll be allowed A SINGLE RESUBMISSION before deadline finishes. 3 Resubs was way too generous and ambitious.
Submission Deadline: September 6, 2024. 12 AM (UTC+10)
Naming Convention: CSR 163 - [forum username] as the Engine Family and Car Model name.
Engine Variant and Car Trim are free.
Extensions: In case of entry droughts or delays caused by late deliberation or update patches, there will be extensions provided as necessary.

Sample Submission
IMPORTANT: This is roughly the bare minimum I expect from people both in terms of the build and the ad. Like I cooked both the writeup and the car itself up in 30 mins. Surely this much effort is warranted at least. And no you don't have to have a huge word count. Just explain the gimmick to me dammit
Selling a 1994 Tegaru Ninja Nomad
Selling my beloved 1994 Tegaru Ninja Nomad. A truly unique super-compact camper van with minimal footprint, packed with practical features for your off-grid adventures.
Under the hood lies a fuel-efficient 1.3L three-cylinder engine mated to a 5 speed manual transmission, delivering an impressive 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers fuel economy - perfect for those extended journeys into the wilderness where gas stations are few and far between.
With a pop-top roof thatâs not just stylish but also insulated, you can stargaze in comfort as you unwind after a day of exploration. Two convenient rear doors provide easy access to the cabin for those late-night campfire sessions or impromptu adventures.
This particular example is also equipped with the rare Manual Locking Diff option so you wonât have a hard time with mud provided you donât drown in it since itâs so small.
Great for parking around in tight spaces. Used it as a daily, parts donât break easily and theyâre really cheap to fix or replace. Great for highways as well since it gets up to speed in 10 seconds. Fits me in the back, albeit itâs not ideal but Iâm a small person and I can make it work just fine.
Used to cost not so much when new, but now it holds a bit of a reputation in the JDM community for being such an oddity. Only asking $3200 for this one, light wiggle room for negotiations.
Send me a text if youâre interested, will not respond to messages asking if itâs available. Cheers!
And that is all. If Iâve missed anything at all, give me a shout pls thanks bye.

Would you accept fake convertibles if the particular body has no convertible option and someone decided to cut the roof off?
It could be accepted, with the ad stating that it was an aftermarket conversion and not an official one.
I wish this question was asked earlier. Give me a day or two to figure out how to balance this in the calculator. Assume I will allow it however.
Just to be on the same page, do you mean permanently chopping off the roof and adding a DIY T/Targa top thing or a proper convertible conversion where you have a mechanically controlled roof?
This question made me think of another question.
How would it be felt if I were for example use a convertible body, choose the âmanual softtopâ selection in game and then just have the car as an open roadster with no actual roof at all

If youâre gonna do an open roof roadster with nothing up top like a Merc Stirling Moss or Lambo Aventador J, youâre not even required to go for the convertible option/bodies, period. Not in my books. Why bring yourself extra stats torture lmao
