Not bad for a JDM legend.

Those aren’t bad. I can only assume he tried to shop locally. We only drove an hour and a half to pick it up. Part of me wants to have the option to haul my amp head, 4x12 cabinet, and guitar around in case I end up in a band someday, or at least invited to a jam, so I’m not quite sure if a 2 seat sports coupe is in the cards for me.


##1991 Dimension Warp TS 2.0 (BNS22)

The successor to the Voyager sedan of the 80s, the first generation Warp became the favorite of young enthusiasts, especially in coupe body as a cheap rear wheel drive sporty coupe. Remember to ask them their favorite question, is that the SSP4R model?

[spoiler]I think you either meant 24 Valve or 18 Valve (SOHC-3) or 12 Valve? Or is it actually a 2.6 liter Inline 4?[/spoiler]
EDIT: The typo has been fixed!

Now, that thing would’ve been nice for the tuner time attacks :wink:

WOO I’m back!

Anyone know how to transfer save files from one comp to another?

If you’re talking sandbox, the easiest way is to export all the cars and unused engines (as the used engines are included in the cars), put them on a USB and them import them.

Otherwise, I think you can copy all the files in C:\Users\XXX\Documents\My Games\Automation\Engines to the engines folder in the new install, doing the same with the cars folder… don’t know if you need any other folders for it.

Or just copy the whole Automation folder for being sure, it’s small anyway. And that way the campaign saves should move too.

##1974 Dimension Paradox 2 Cali Cruiser

The optimism and carefree attitude of the 60s were replaced with the depression and constant fear of the 70s and it especially shows with the Paradox 2. The once mighty sports car is now cucked into oblivion to an astounding 200 hp, cursing hippies under every asmathic breath whenever it can.

##1978 Dimension Paradox 2 410 Special

The malaise era seriously discouraged new sports car ownership especially since they weren’t any faster than muscle cars 10 years ago or compacts sold today. The 410 special makes a desperate comback to win the crowd, despite breaking several rules and the car ended up being incredibly expensive to keep owning.

Hmm everyone seems to want to use this body nowadays :grinning:

those are some impressively lights cars too, my fat-fuck hyper GT cars couldn’t hold a candle to it

The Paradox 2 definitely looks on-point. You deserve some kudos for offering a true sports car in the immediate aftermath of the fuel crisis, and one that somehow managed to be as fast as it looked, even with just 200 bhp in base trim!

Meliora has the perfect competitor for the Paradox 2 :wink: I will publish it in a few days maybe

##2002 Dimension Singularity ST Sport (GDC40)

Early 2000’s Dimension didn’t have alot of money after the Asian Financial Crisis due to extensive investments in the Japanese and Russian market. With the sport compact craze in full swing, the Singularity was released in '02, it being nothing more than a tarted up 3rd gen Rift with a coupe body that made it several times more tempting for ricers.

##2003 Dimension Singularity SSP Sport 4

The Americans preferred to soup up their sport compact offerings with excessive power and torque steer, however Dimension chose not to fight with the SSP Rift and decided the Singularity be a handling oriented performance version. The result is hailed as one of the finest handling FWD cars ever made, which failed to sell because everyone prefers horsepower. Sigh.

ehehehehehehehe…

This though:

Everything is there on the SSP trim for it to be a brilliant car though, which likely means it would have gained an exclusive and dedicated following. And it certainly has plenty of power. I like.

That is one nice ZZT230
