Leaky Roof Challenge
It's 1992. Richard needs a car as he has just moved to America, land of the free. (INSERT EAGLE NOISES)
Richard has always wanted a Ferrari. Well not like he'll ever own one, so he wants something decent enough that will get all the girls over him.
He comes to the decision that he needs himself a convertible. Because convertible cool.
He was originally going to buy a Miata, but he does not like Mazda because of... Well i don't know he just doesn't like them for some reason. Something about "everyone seems to have one".
Richard goes to his local GT Auto dealer where there always seems to be a coincidental arrival of cars specifically for what the person wants, and decides to give every car a test drive before he buys one. He will test all cars before he buys them, since he cares about performance above anything else. So which one will he choose?
Welcome to the Leaky Roof Challenge!
You will be making convertibles for 16000 bucks, a bit more than a Miata at the time. So you can say, "premium" convertibles.
Well, not really. Richard calls them premium but its actually closer to a Toyota Camry.
Convertibles are not often used for challenges due to their higher cost, lower comfort, worse performance etc. So we wanted to try it.
Essentially, just build a convertible for the road and for the track. But of course, if you want to be fast you have to think closely of your choices, as usual.
Anyways, i don't have much to say, lets get to the rules. Inspirations are placed at the bottom of the post!
RULES
Rule 1: The year of all parts of the car must be 1992.
Rule 2: The techpool must be kept at default, aka +5 everywhere.
Rule 3: The car must be a convertible. (Soft top or hard top)
Rule 4: Open-Wheelers are banned, unless you do it in a 3d fixture way, or some other way. The F1 bodies for example, are not allowed.
Rule 5: The maximum price is 16000.
To stop you from screwing around with quality too much, the minimum is -2 and maximum is +2.
Rule 6: No racing parts, aka parts with Race in the name. (This includes semi-slicks!)
Rule 7: Internal stress can't be over 5% (Piston, crank, conrod).
Rule 8: The engine must have a catalytic converter and at least 1 muffler that either is Reverse Flow or Baffled.
Rule 9: If you use a turbo, the maximum boost is 8.0 PSI.
Rule 10: The engine must use 95 RON fuel. (Premium Unleaded)
Rule 11: The ignition timing must be set to 0.0. It is screwy and I don't like it.
Rule 12: The car must have at least Standard 90s safety.
Rule 13: The car must have a minimum comfort of 15.
Rule 14: The car must have at least 2 full seats.
Rule 15: Advanced trim settings are banned, besides Engine Position, Chassis Tunnel Size and the visibility settings.
Rule 16: The naming scheme for the model of the car is first the letters LRC, then your username. (LRC - Djadania)
Anything after this is allowed, just make sure to put LRC and your username in the front! I will do it for you otherwise. So for example: LRC - Djadania - Mazda Miata. Put your car name in the trim name, if possible.
If you want some specific exception to a rule, tell me and I'll consider giving it to you.
2 cars per person allowed!
SUGGESTIONS
Richard wants to show off and stand out. Take that in your own way.
Richard wants a car that is drivable. Please. I don't want to suffer with spending half an hour on one run again.
Richard will not be going offroad at all, he'll just use the pink jeep that his girlfriend owns. Well his girlfriend doesn't exist so hope that this car gets him one.
Richard likes the inspirations at the bottom of the post, but they happen to not be in the dealer. He wants something unique though.

ENTRIES + DEADLINE + MISC
I will be judging the cars with a mix of performance and styling. So do not worry about automation stats too much, since i wonât be looking at them next to comfort.
The deadline for this challenge is the 23rd of June 2023. Why so late? I have a test week coming up, and i need to really study for it.
After that, we will see when the first video comes out. I would hope the 25th.
You can send your car(s) in any way, though I prefer either the forum or our Discord. Just make sure to send it before the deadline! (Note that if your car has a V16 that you will need to send me a BeamNG exported file with screenshots of the stats!)
You can watch the videos on my channel, Djadania.
I will attempt to give some commentary and advice on the cars, so if you want that stuff, come over there.
You can join our Discord here. Not necessary, but if you would like to discuss stuff quickly, this is the place.
