Is there a naming convention to it, or i can submit my (Generations II) Cars

MY79 Bogliq Busker 518B

Malaise era "Beauty"


Not the prettiest car of all time, the E3 Bogliq Busker is solid reliable and dependable; just don’t expect to win many fashion awards!

E# Busker lore here…

USDM competitors (Gen II) to the Busker: 1981

Hey OP, your boi clearly looking for a people’s car that isn’t founded by Communism or Fascism. Well, that recipe happens to start in Moldova with 500g of Potential, mix in a cupful of Social Ethics, add a spoonful of Capitalism and just a pinch of Hope, then mix together until you get Bogliq Automotive. Once formed, take the Bogliq dough, put it in a Union lined baking factory then roast it in the oven of the USDM. When the Market demands a new model, pull out the dough and serve it; hopefully it’s finished being cooked, hahaha!!!

Thus the Bogliq Busker 518G was born; the fiery pit of hellfire, otherwise known as Generations II: The full line challenge. It is a Gen 1 Busker so it’s resale values haven’t been artificially inflated by the DLH halo cars, or the much better looks of the Mk II facelift. It’s decent on regular unleaded and has room for 5 adults AND their luggage, hahaha!!! All Bogliq’s are sold with catalytic converters, unless there is no access to unleaded fuels, so this car is fitted with one.

OOC: For full disclosure, I should have entered this car into the 1981 competition round, but I was embarrassed by it’s looks and was too ashamed to air it publicly (outside of my lore thread, which people can safely ignore, hahaha!!!). This car has had some extra detail added to fix the barrenness of the lore car, but no main fixtures were added or changed, plus I changed the colour of the lower bumper/flanks so it wouldn’t look so terrible! Nothing mechanically has changed, either on the engine or the trim, so this is a bonafide Generations II lore entry car… I’d love to get your feedback outside of the competition parameters; PM me with your thoughts if youhave the time, or desire, to do so!


Here’s a pic of some much cooler Bogliq’s to finish this post on an exciting note!

This is the only rule with the car naming


1984 SAC Azimuth (export cheapest trim)


A brand new Soviet car joins the markets of Finland. Suprisngly, they managed to make a FWD for once. It’s got a fairly small 1.4L engine, pushing 57 horsepower. This partiucular version is the cheapest trim available, but it was refined for sale in Europe. It got painted bumpers, hubcaps, Latin badges, radio and defroster lines on the rear window. It’s a fine car, don’t you worry. It’ll take you anywhere you need to go, especially with such clearance.

Crusoe Dual Sport: Dual carbs and dual exhaust make this the ultimate Crusoe automobile. 68 lightning-fast horsepower, and a luxurious* interior with an 8-track player included. The new, most powerful trim of the classic Crusoe, since 1965.

!

Just back from full testing in Utah, the Nakamoto Sunset proves that quality transportation doesn’t have to be expensive. The responsive 1.7l I4 engine features features fuel injection and is mated to a standard 3spd auto. The hatchback version offers sporty looks and plenty of cargo versatility. An 8-track player, steel wheels with body color accents, and rear wiper are standard on the base model.

1984 AUTODELTA ELAPHUS 1600GL





Autodelta uses names of animals in different languages for their cars. The Autodelta Elaphus is named after the mighty red deer. This car was far ahead of it's time when Autodelta introduced it in 1980. With front wheel drive giving the car much better practicality than most of it's competitors. Customers from cold regions all over the world valued the perfect stability in harsh conditions because of the FWD layout. This layout also offers the Elaphus an increase in cabin size, making the middle seat in the rear actually useful for anyone larger than a kid. The Elaphus is available in many different trims. Starting with a 1600cc four cylinder engine with single barrel dual carbs and a manual gearbox with 4 gears for the 1600 GL (Grand Luxury). The higher spec 1600 GLX (Grand Luxury eXtra) is fitted with Deltatronic mechanical fuel injection on the same 1600cc engine and either a 5 gear manual or 3 gear automatic. The top spec 2000 GLX has a 2000cc four cylinder and electronic fuel injection.

Even though Henry doesn’t have the budget for any of the GLX trims, the 1600 GL already offers a lot for it’s value: The car comes standard with power steering, left and right rear-view mirrors, a third brake light, a rear fog light, a sunroof, 3-point seatbelts on all seats but the middle rear seat, beige velours seats, headrests for every seat, windscreen wipers with interval, headlight wipers, trunk release switch in the interior and a fuel door release switch in the interior.

With all these options the local Autodelta dealer in Helsinki is certain they can provide Henry with a lovely Elaphus 1600 GL. Making sure Henry can safely travel anywhere he wants for years to come. The overdrive on the 4th gear means the car is fuel efficient and comfortable. With the engine doing 2400rpm at a cruising speed of 100km/h.

Stats:
Combined fuel economy: 8.7l/100km
Top speed: 186km/h
0-100 acceleration: 14.6 s
Weight: 980 kg
Power: 55 kW
Torque: 115.5 Nm

MAHG Delta '84 Export Trim

What can you get for 13 000$?

Well, a nice car!

Not a fast one… but, a comfortable one, roomy and reliable.

You have here a nicely appointed interior with a radio, a reliable 1.2L unit with the latest fuel injection technologies, all the bonuses from the Export trim and a 3 automatic gearbox!

:jp: Hōgai Sendai LB

The LB means that it is a low-mid spec model. Basically a base model with a few extra creature comforts and features, but not quite reaching the Mid spec model.

Features include:

  • 1.6L (1627cc) I4 producing 71hp. Base engine
  • 4 speed all-syncro gearbox, top speed 170km/h. (rwd)
  • 12" steel wheels with front disc brakes.
  • Standard interior with optional cassette player included.
  • Hydraulic power-steering.
  • Foglights and rear wiper.

This particular example was used as a dealership review unit for around 4 years. That’s why it has a few strange additions to it, such as the radio and rear wiper.

I’m not sure you can just say the car is cheaper if it’s over the budget

the thing is i was 100% sure i was under budget when i sent the car in, but when i opened the car today it was magically $100 above the budget for some reason… i dont know if it is over budget on the one i sent to madcat so i wrote this story just in case :sweat_smile:

I have encountered a bug sometimes where the cost of the car stops updating when you change things. Exiting the editor and going back in usually fixes it. You might have run afoul of that. Or you changed something like swaybar stiffness which can actually nudge you to the next $100 if you’re not careful!

Maybe your car has some morph issues? I’ve had that with a model I sent in for another challenge. It not only completely threw the fixtures out of their place, but also changed the specs. Just enough so I was above instead of right at the budget limit.

I think the best is to find out why it changed, and ask the host if the file they got has the same issue. If it is for example morph issues, it’s possible the challenge host doesn’t experience the problem and actually gets the car how you intended it. And if the host does experience the issue, you can ask if you are allowed to give your car another look, fixing the issue and sending in a revised file.

As like @mart1n2005 said: I don’t think the host will allow a car that is over budget, as that would open up to possible unfair advantages.
