my already ‘almost ready’ car from the year 1990 with a new trim for 1993 is using standard safety with -3 quality to keep the weight down while keeping the safety at 30.3
but i think i might just make a new car anyway.
So let me know if there are any objections or questions, otherwise I’ll be moving this challenge into the build phase later tonight.
Just built a car, and It’s so shit, it might just loose.
Entering anyway, because the front end breaks my mind.
Factory size “Medium 2” right? Otherwise i think the current rule set is fine.
Yes medium 2, op is edited. And now onward to the build phase, naming rule and deadline have also been added.
Presenting the 1992 Bogliq Coyote 1100!!!
Are you young, hip and happening but can’t afford a new Supra or RX-7 and you feel the call of the mountain pass? Well look no further as Bogliq has the car for you! 
Stylish, yet cheap to buy… Economical, yet doesn’t scare away the babes… What more could you want from your first car? 
When you’ve had enough of impressing your friends and you feel the urge to master the Touge, make sure you bring a packed lunch as the Coyote will give you plenty of time to survey the scenery! 
Pro tip: The Bogliq team of test drivers recommend you restrict yourself to downhill runs only; ask Takumi how your rep can be made by specialising on the downhill run! 
Buy a Bogliq and you’ll never look back! 
That’s kind of jazzy, it kind of reminds me of a Nissan Vector!
Quick question: Will the cars be judged towards being practical aswell? E.G.: trunk space, 3 door vs 5 door?
The usefulness aspects will be mentioned in the review but will not have a direct impact on the outcome. I’d like to see a variety of bodies styles, but I did not mention practicality, utility, or anything else in the rules so it will not be scored.

[size=150]Sensibility Is About To Get A Thrill[/size]
The Suzume Hane. Its lineage as a frugal commuter is at the very core of its name, yet with an understated reputation for fun. That reputation is about to be branded into the very soul of the machine.
Meet the all-new, completely redesigned 1993 Hane G.
Don’t let its tame, suburban demeanor fool you. Under the hood lurks a twin-cam turbocharged RK4-B, ready to unleash 73 horsepower at your command. It can tackle the vaunted 'Ring in under 11 minutes, and rocket to 100km/h in just 13.6 seconds. Yet the ReiseiMicro-series motor still gives the frugality expected from Suzume’s economical offerings. Or step on up and choose the wickedly fun GS-R trim model, which accelerates to the same mark in just 11.9 seconds, thank to a specially tuned 83 horsepower variant.
Inside you will find seating for five with flip-and-slide front seats for easy access. Auto-off headlights keep your battery from draining if you forget to turn them off. AM/FM/Cassette radio, fuel gauge with low fuel warning, SuzumeSafe ™ Antilock Braking System, and DuraWeave cloth seating surfaces are standard on all Hane models. Power steering is standard on all Turbocharged, GS, and GS-R models.
Starting at $11115.

Welcome to the Kirk Lift!
Originally designed and built in 1986 to be sold to the military of third world countries, the Kirk Lift has been adapted to fit lifestyles around the world!
The version we are looking at today is the 1991 LX V6 trim.
Design
img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Carskick/Kirk%20Lift%20-%20Design.png
The 1991 Kirk Lift LX V6 was designed to bring a unique economy car to the masses in countries such as Austrailia, the US, Europe, and parts of Asia. To this end, it was designed to compete with the cheapest cars in those respective markets, running in the $8500 to $12,600 range. The body style is quite unique in it’s segment. Effectively, it’s a micro pickup truck. The “1.4L” V6 is kept up front and transverse mounted. (The engine was downsized to 1.3L when it was recently adapted to Multi-Port Fuel Injection. However, marketing kept the 1.4L name.) This is the FWD model, but AWD is available.
The chassis is shared with Kirk’s other small cars, running MacPherson Struts up front and a Torsion Beam in the back, it drives more like an economy car than a pickup. It has been jacked up to 10.7 inches, however, which makes it far taller than it’s car siblings. Drivability and Practicality are primary focuses here. This is an economy truck. And when we say economy truck, we mean it. The torsion beam in the rear has been reinforced over the car version, giving it a 3/4 ton capacity and 2000 pound towing limit. Not much compared to an F150, but great for it’s size. That’s all considering the micro truck itself weighs around 1400 pounds.
Overview
img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Carskick/Kirk%20Lift%20-%20Overview.png
The Little Lift that could wants to be in your garage. It’s easy to buy, easy to drive, easy to fix, easy to love. With good reliability, low maintenance costs, and great fuel economy, the Lift is highly accessible. But we didn’t cheap out as much as you might think. Oh no. The interior rivals that of compacts costing twice as much, though it is half the size. 2 people will get to share this wondrous interior, all 10 cubic feet of it. The high durability fabrics are pleasant to the touch and easy clean up makes these great work horses.
Enjoy the the nice speedometer that proudly shows the 120MPH mark you may reach while going down hill all out. Enjoy a Tachometer that happily guides you through the 5 speed manual transmission. Enjoy a fuel gauge. Another gauge with a little sail boat symbol… Oh that’s the coolant temperature gauge! Neat! That’s about it. The cassette player’s pretty cool! It’s not just the run of the mill cassette deck. We’re talking Dolby Hiss Reduction. Dedicated Tweeters Make this 4 speaker Pyle sound system work. Yeah it works. Usually. When it does it sounds pretty acceptable, too.
There’s also a cigarette lighter and an ash tray, those are cool!
Since this isn’t a trim for deployed militia, we have a few extra safety items. The side doors are reinforced, kind of. The steering wheel won’t impair you in a collision. And it probably won’t be totaled in a 5MPH fender bender. Oh, and it’s made of metal. Not much of it, but it’s metal!
Edit: Due to updated 1993 safety regulations, crumple zones and 5MPH bumpers were required to be added. That means you are slightly less likely to die when a Semi-Truck merges into you on the highway.
Engine
img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Carskick/Kirk%20Lift%20-%20Engine.png
The engine is quite a beast. Almost 1.4L of pure fury! Multi-Port injection was added to make 40MPG possible! The little V6 is actually quite reliable. All the parts have been extensively battle tested, and are meant to withstand swamp, desert, tundra, etc. Between 2k & 5k RPM, you have a flat 70-75ft-lb of torque. It also happens to be where your engine is at it’s best, so plan on running it there most of the time. The 24v SOHC allows the engine to rev smoothly all the way to 6.5k RPM.
Since this isn’t a great deal of power, weight is a huge factor. Luckily, at around 1400 pounds, this guy is pretty quick with a light load.:
img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Carskick/Kirk%20Lift%20-%20Track.png
0-60 in 9.7 seconds will beat most economy cars (I mean, It’s 1993), and pulling 0.88g in a turn is doable! To top it off, the 5 speed manual is a hoot, with easy & relatively short shifts. And it does have disk brakes, at least in the front! This means it will actually stop. And it might still stop with stuff in the back. There’s no LSD or Power Steering & it’s FWD, but does any of this matter when you only weight 1408lb and have 73HP?
The owner’s manual does state that whenever towing, do not try to exceed 50MPH, and if towing over 1000 pounds, do not exceed 40MPH. Off-roading is also a blast in this car! While the AWD or 4x4 model work better for this, the ultra light FWD tends to float over obstacles anyhow. Loose sand, small rock and object, none of it stands a chance. This guy is HAPPY to take on a challenge.
img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Carskick/Kirk%20Lift%20-%20Price.png
The best part is Kirk can sell these cars at $12600, and still be make over $4000! That means they can be sold even less!
1991 FWD Kirk Lift LX V6: $10,395
1991 AWD Kirk Lift LX V6: $11,695
Base models start at $7,995
Goodbye for now!
