###Engine Stats
it doesnât even need a rev limiter. it has a natural rev limiter
now to wait for inline 3 enginesâŚ
Sorry
there. fixed.
which body are you using though? i could use the '55 micro roadster if itâs available. sadly, pink body
If you go to the LUA file and put all the âECS_xxxâ bits in quotes thatâll fix it. Goes for all pink bodies.
that is, if i can find the automation folder again on this new pcâŚ
how do you made the 360 GIFs?
dude those tyres lol I take it this body will become a favourite

###AG - 24DMP
the story of the ill-fated and the to be forgotten leaglo*
######*a bit of irl history is mixed in
released in 1994, this was supposed to be a competitor to the mitsubishi galant. but the product pricing was awkward and out of place. itâs meant to be a lower priced competitor than the galant. but because of the explosion of sporty and high performance car of the era, dealers were putting up markups quite a bit higher than we anticipated. although at the start it did sell, and the reviews were quite good. but then thereâs the pricing. it wasnât low enough, the lower trim galant were cheaper even though they were inferior, and they still used carbs, but it was still selling thanks to the higher trimmed sibling having much more prestige. those who have a bit more money just went for the galant-VR4. itâs all around superior to the leaglo. has AWD, 6 speed manual, or the highly advanced 4 speed INVECS automatic that was really good for the time.
the VR4 is also lighter while having almost 30kgs less weight then the leaglo, even with the AWD systemâs added weight. their 2L twin turbo makes nearly 40hp more than the AG engine, and are even capable of an extra 50hp with some light tuning, which, because of the amount they sell, was really easy, since part was plenty everywhere.
and in 1994, indonesiaâs economy was really bubbling, unstable, and are on the verge of popping, national loans were everest high, the currency is way overvalued, this made people a bit more aware of their spending habits. all of this came down to a relatively weak sales after the early surge of buyer.
1997 came. the asian economic bubble popped. that year, we have a national deficit of more than the income of 1990 to 1996 combined. june 1997 USD$1 is Rp 2.450. the number is round because of government policies that makes it so on purpose in order to âstabilizeâ the national economy. january 1998, USD$1 is Rp13.513. yes, it happened, an almost 700% inflation in about 7 months. although it went back to Rp 8.000 a dollar, it stayed there and we never recovered fully from it, until the 2008 crisis came and hit us again.
in 1997, we barely sold 200 leaglos, and then in 1998 we, as a company literally stopped operating for 4.5 months. why?
this is why
*this is our parliament building. and 90% of all those people are college students. it is still standing and being used today.
because of the economic collapse, people blamed 2 party. people of chinese ethicity.
the other party was our dictator president, which by law, was supposed to only be allowed to be president for 10 years, yet, heâs been the president for 32 years on 1998, alongside with most of our political members.
that wasnât a war, that wasnât a rebellion, that was just pure outrage of the people, represented mostly by college students. itâs was a riot of similiar of a military coup de etat. on the last pic you can see itâs literally the mass vs the police, and usually with militaric force backing up the police force.
thousands of people died within just a week. some shot by the military, some beaten up by the police to death, some fainted in the middle of the riots, fell, and stomped to death, and the people that are ethnically chinese, were raped, beaten, their houses burned.
it didnât stopped there. our country, in the most literal way, grinds to a halt. economic stopped, trains stopped, nobody came out of their houses, streets were empty, most buildings that survived were forced to closed because they were threatened that their property would be burned if they didnât. thousands of shops, banks, market places, and other economic building were either smashed to bits, razed, pillaged, or all 3 of it. and even more were forced out of jobs, and those forced out of jobs, end up pillaging even more stuff. we ourselves were forced to close down one of our factories, increasing the price of our future cars because we now have to deal with more complex and expensive logistical solutions.
a few days after the riots subsided, our president announced that he backed down from his position and were replaced by the vice president. he was brilliant, he fixed and supported the country back up real fast, but he also backed out after just a year. saying this political stuff wasnât his cake.
so, 1994-1996, failed to compete with the galant
1997 economic bubble popped leading to crisis
1998 riots that forced our activity to grind to a halt.
and in the end of 1998, in the short 4 years, the leaglo is retired in parts of the efforts of repairing the damage the riots in indonesia did to our business, since back then, indonesia was one of our biggest market.
please post something if you came here and didnât expect to see shit this deep
I remember hearing of those riots and that period of instability. A friend of my brotherâs covered it as part of a high school assignment on âcurrent international affairsâ. I found it memorable because said friend also managed to use The Internet (then a not universally used thing in Australia) to find frank and graphic evidence of the riots and plastered his assignment with them. It literally made the teacher puke. I can only imagine what it was really like for those actually there.
Also somewhat memorable because it seems the Chinese get a bit of a raw deal as far as most of South East Asia is concerned.
Deep shit.
You can still see some of the effects of the riots now.
Many buildings are left unrepaired, broken glass, charred walls. Housing complexes walled up unnecessary access points, homeowners stick glass shards on top of their fences, and unfortunately, high racial tensions.
Also the fact that the Rp. jumped from IIRC about 4,000 per USD to 16,000 overnight didnât help.
