PIF Design Challenge [Green Group Thread]

[size=120]Pay It Forward Design Challenge - Green Group[/size]

Good morning! You all were randomly selected for the “Green Group”. I have randomized the play order. The last person on the list will issue the first challenge, to the first person on the list. When you post and issue the challenge, please also PM the person you are issuing the challenge to, letting them know it’s ready. The person being challenged has 3 days to complete it. All are welcome to play all challenges, but if you are not being challenged, please do not post results or LUAs until after the player receiving he challenge either completes, gives up, or times out.

Make the challenges interesting, possibly something that might trip up your “victim”, but also possible to do. Remember: if the group as a whole feels your challenge is impossible, you WILL be required to post a LUA proving it IS possible.

Good luck and have fun!

I am ready for my challenge!

Harizvet1 will need to issue the challenge. I PM’ed all players to let them know to check in on their threads.

I’m ready, guys! I already have an idea of what challenge i would give somebody… But i’m also excited about what challenge i’m about to receive :smiley:

Here. Ready to roll.

now! here the challenge

Year:2015
total cost:10000
sportyness: >10
driveablity: >45
comfort:>35
utility:>35
safety:>58
average reliablity:>79
service cost:<1900
fuel consumption:<3.5l/100km
max quality +3
min quality -3

I will have something for you by tonight!

This are the kind of cars I build the most of.

EDIT: Except the 3.5/100km fuel consumption. I think I’ve built one car that was that efficient and it was more or less a shell with 2 seets and a high tech engine

Update so far:

Year:2015 - check
total cost:10000 - check
sportyness: >10 -check
driveablity: >45 - check
comfort:>35 - check
utility:>35 - check
safety:>58 - Almost (57.4)
average reliablity:>79 - not close (75)
service cost:<1900 - check
fuel consumption:<3.5l/100km - not even close (low 6’s) :frowning:
max quality +3 check

little change to the rules:
service cost:<2200
no limit on utility.

Edit: DONE! After several revisions

Here is my car:


[size=150]So, here is Tom’s challenge:[/size]

It is 1975 and the sales of sporty cars in the US has been severely hit by the fuel crisis. It is your job to make your way around those circumstances, by coming up with a sporty, yet economical car, with emissions that are low enough for it to be able to be sold in California. It must also seat 4 in comfort and be safe, you don’t want Nader to criticise your car, do you?

[size=125]Limitations[/size]
[ul]]Must use one of these bodies:

]Year: 1975/:m]
]Catalytic converter and emissions under 1400/:m]
]Fuel economy better than 13 l/100km/:m]
]Sportiness above 15/:m]
]Safety above 45/:m]
]4 seats/:m]
]Drivability above 45/:m]
]Comfort above 25

:m]]Price under $8300**/:m][/ul]

@ Leo, well done!

Almost done, only need a few more points in Drivability, everything else is fine

Okay, here it is!


I will post a new challenge soon!

Okay, now here’s the [size=150]challenge for rileybanks[/size]:

Ever since you were a kid, your dream was to work for Ferrari. So you finished your apprenticeship at a local workshop and applied for different manufacturers (because, in case Ferrari don’t accept you, working for another company is still better than not having a job).
Unfortunately, your dream popped like a bubble when Ferrari declined your appication, but Jaguar accepted instead.
Your effort for Jaguar has been great and you have quickly built up a high reputation as being one of their best engineers. And Jag’s freshest project is to build an RS-version of the F-Type. Even faster than the R it should be, and as always with looks to die for and to prove how serious this plan is, the chassis and panels are even made from carbon fibre.

The first prototype of it even ran round the Airfield track in less than 1:21. So far so good, but it needs some more polishing until it can finally be revealed. It is supposed to be at a big car show next week and it is your job to apply the final changes.

However, yesterday you got a phone call from Ferrari, saying they now have an offer for you because they’ve realized how skilled and how passionate you are at work. But there is another contender for the free spot, and you have to prove to be better than them in order to claim it. How, you ask, and of course you’ve told them about the RS concept because you’re so excited about it.
They see the RS as a potential competitor to the California T, and if a Jaguar would be faster than a Ferrari, that would be a huge disappointment for all the Ferrari fans and so on. Ferrari wants the F-Type RS to fail. So your job is to deliberately make the F-Type RS slower but in such a way that only you can tell the differences. It should not only be slower than the F-Type R, but it should be at least 1.5 seconds slower round the Airfield track than the R. But of course, you can’t change obvious things like the engine setup because if somebody runs the car on a dyno, they’ll notice a lack of power. You also can’t remove any of the aerodynamic fixtures because… well, there’s nothing more obvious than a visual change.
They recommend you to only retune the gearing and the suspension because nobody at an autoshow would notice any of these flaws.

[size=150]Goal:[/size]

  • make this car SLOWER than it is, so that it does the Airfield track in 1:23.1 (or SLOWER)

[size=150]Rules:[/size]

  • you can ONLY change two things:
    • Suspension tuning on the trim section (don’t swap out those active sport springs or the semi active dampers!)
    • The gear ratios (not the gearbox type or the top speed!)

Also, you’re not allowed to change any quality sliders.

EDIT: My bad. I didn’t know we now have to send Model, Trim, Engine family AND engine variant in order for it to work. So i attached the zip folder instead. You have to load this car, and then edit it according to the rules.

Good luck!

Greets,
Tom

rileybanks has timed out of the challenge. That means The Tom’s challenge now falls to titleguy1.

Alright, I’m ready.

I had finished it and was just waiting to come back to a Wifi signal. For now, I’ll let titleguy1 do it and post mine once he completes it.

Here’s my entry. I managed to get a time over 1:23.1, although the suspension might be noticeably different… >: P

I’ll make a challenge once mine is verified.
