Community Challenges & Competitions

[size=150]You rush home from work, oh god no, you think to yourself, I can’t be that late!-… you mumble to yourself as you look at the clock hanging in the hallway. You don’t take off your shoes you’ve been working around the whole day until you reach the living room, swiftly reaching for the remote and tuning onto CBB, luckly you make it just in time for the main review. You take off your shoes, the room instantly starts to reak. “My god”, you think to yourself,“What on earth happened down there” but your thoughts stop at that moment as the Vintage Review section starts[/size]

Welcome today we are going to be reviewing a true retro 70’s car, oh the poor family that had this car, it’s so boxy, suburban and depressive. From the outside it looks like a generic family limo, which it is so let’s cut to the chase and check under the hood.

So, under the hood we can spot a 2.5l Inline six engine that will output about 124hp, seriously weak-… Even looking at this pile of iron sheds tears to my eyes.

So, let’s take a closer look at the car, it weights about one point two tonnes, that is really lightweight for a car it’s size, the steel plates on this car must be paper thin! Oh, yeah?-… Is that so?-… Well-… Just heard from the crew this car barley passed safety standards back in 1978 when it was produced-… Didn’t they use monkeys as crash dolls back in those days-… Oh my god, the poor chimps!

Inside, ohh how unsuspected… Six seats, a standard crappy turdy 8-Track player. An automatic gearbox AND power steering-… This is a granny car! How could a real man even drive this thing, it must be boring as hell. This company should be sued! This is the perfect murder weapon-… First you buy this boring-ass car and fall asleep behind the wheel, then you crash, burn and go to hell!

Also it chugs! 22 liters per 100 kilometers. I would expect triple the power out of such numbers! The dissapointment! Pretty average acceleration-… 19 seconds for a quarter mile-… This car drained all my will to live.

I Jebediah Carlsson, can’t handle the pressure anymore…
parks the car near a cliff, places the gear into drive, the car slowly rolls off the cliff, crashing and burning

Looks like our beloved Jebediah is no longer… A minute of silence

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! JEBEDIAH CARLSON!

Such plans, such failure. Originally meant to become a big climber in the world of motorsports, production and income of the 192C came to an abrupt and permanent halt after an unexpected aluminium shortage struck Lambda in early 1991.
The most common aftermarket 192C parts of today include but are not limited to improved injection setups, replacement turbos and drivetrain conversions. Lots to see, lots to do.

Noooo my poorly produced American shitbox killed Jebediah Carlsson, On the upside the car turned out to be exactly what I wanted it to be (a granny cruiser) good luck tuning this car :laughing: :smiling_imp:

[size=150]Spoiler on a FWD, that car is pre-riced straight from the factory floor![/size]

[size=200]On a big note, I could use some help with creating the Spec Sheets, PM me for the template and put in the digits for your car (Help out your event hoster that has little time)[/size]

Could We “Fudge” the price of the vehicle if we’re, say, wanting to sell it cheaper that what the game says?

Because I don’t want to sell my vehicle for the listed price.

You can try but I’ll be going through each Spec Sheet that will get sent in!

I’m working on something for a FWD kind of crowd, but I know some people will hate me for it. Almost done with it, though.

50

Have something more modern and FWD…

The 2000 H.A. 265 K. Anemic engine, low quality everything, but it’s cheap and pretty good on gas while being pretty practical. And of course it comes in a stylish shade of beige. Perfect for the Archanian market!

traits:
sports car on a budget
not the maximum engine family size. means able to be easily bored and stroked up

Toxical

traits:
the oldest of them all. fit for an engine swap :slight_smile:

Logic

traits:
although it’s a cheap and economical car, yet, it’s an FR

question:
i tried disabling the steam mods on the launcher. but even cars that have mods are still loading fine… did i do anything wrong?

because iirc
the kembang used that popup headlamps → a mod
logic used the seat ibiza headlamp → a mod

52

Says in the rules that you cannot swap the engine.

53

Well, I kinda changed my mind. Won’t be a '95 I’m making to put into the list, but an '07. Found a body style I liked better.

54

@koolkei: Also no mods, so the last one is out of the question, and the others will need revision. But why not submit them all? The more the merrier.

55

My addition to the challenge, this will make a lot of you happy I’m sure!

Haha Vissan, hilarious. that also takes care of one of the major benchmark cars presuming it’s a good replica.

I was not quite so oblique when I threw my own benchmark car suggestion at blahlord: a replica 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V RS.

Oh no it’s far from a perfect replica, the interior is a pile of turd and I barley mananged to fit it in the budget of $8,000, it’s missing them multi-linked rear suspension (too expensive)

58

Oh, if it’s a budget of 8k, then the car I sent you is 2k over the limit anyway. Then again that’s like a rally spec type car anyway.

Oh damn, I just thought of the perfect car for this I submitted to a prior contest. I’ve got just the thing, I’ll just have to rebuild it, because of new build.

(Hint: look up Matteo Miglia Excelsior RC)

59

Mine’s not quite as bonkers as what I built for that contest, Strop. I went with a much more subtle approach this time, and for a 2007 rather than the '95 I’d originally planned.

Still, if you bring that monster into this, Strop, it could get interesting.

60

A Skyline! Didn’t expect to see one of them in here, since they retailed for like…80k$ back in the day? :open_mouth:
Is the weight about right?

Checked out, the car strop, VVL V6, sounds interesting.
