I realized that performance version of every car that I’ve built is too flashy, so I made this one a bit more generic.
Or I just picked the wrong inspiration idk 
Had fun making it anyway.

Oh, so long together
Forgot how you made me feel
Tired of each other
We drifted further afield
But there was nothing out there for me
I realized you’re all I needed
Now that I got you caught
I don’t know what I did before
You said I got so special
Everything that I look for
You give it to me with much more
That’s why I could never let you go
No
Bring it back to basics
You and I will make it right
Take it back to basics
Bring it back, back to basics
I couldn’t remember
Just what made me fall for you
Searching for others
To make me feel all new
But everytime I felt that feeling
I knew it wasn’t what I needed
Finalists Round - Back to Basics
The cremme de la cremme of “””sports””” nuggets is here 6 plucky cars and only one of them will be ruined improved tonight.
Capri78 - Izuka Iris Vi
Pulling to the local used car lot Kevin got intrigued by the dark green japanese ride at the dealer and after successfully managed to get a test drive…
Ah lesse yknow it rides pretty well for a front wheel drive econobox and it handles these B roads quite well too and plenty reliable!
Though it doesn’t have that much street cred in terms of sportiness as seen by how empty the waterfront is I can’t even pull a mad skid. I can only ‘ear one of the wheels squealing, and when I did that at the waterfront people kind of walked past it…
Aww what?? Man this is bollocks this is too pedestrian lookin’ and it doesn’t even have any street cred to back it up bummer since it drives pretty good though…
Eliminated for low sportiness and looks
Mart1n2005 - Alouette Minu Si
Up next is a french lookin’ egg and is quite a bit cheaper than the comparable Izuka Iris Vi and it’s another green turquoise lookin’ car though it’s retro looks do seem to turn ‘eads a lot more.
I mean at £16,300 weighin’ in at less than a tonne it makes it for quite a nimble car though it’s ‘andling isn’t the best probably cuz of the economy tires it has. Well that don’t matter. I see a flight of stairs and if it can go down it in one piece…
Ah um yikes I guess it can’t luckily I managed to somehow survive that guess the Alouette Minu Si won’t be bought tonight.
Eliminated due to poor drivability
The-chowi - Billancourt Mirage Sportline 2.0
Oh sick this is the Billancourt Mirage Sportline 2.0 that looked dope hell it even got an LSD and the dealership is near a famous abandoned race track lemme have a quick rip of the e-brake see if I can pull some mad skids.
Oh ah dang it seems that when I clutched kicked it and ripped the handbrake it caused the entire car to smell like fried olive oil and apparently it’s common enough that you have to replace the clutch every so often miles.
Bummer since despite its high asking price it was pretty quick around the corners and even in a straight line and I was planning to mod it out too but I think French cars are cursed ‘round ‘ere.
Eliminated for reliability

Kreator - ACZ Moxie Arya
Oh I saw this one from me dad’s computer it feels weird how tiny it is compared to every other car on the road and holy it grips for days. You sure don’t see econoboxes with engines mounted at the back.
Plus at a reasonable price being only slightly more expensive than the Alouette Minu Si and with a presence for sure. Though it’s not the easiest to drive and quite prone to being in the shops due to it’s mid engine design not being exactly easy to service…
Though I would’ve bought it on a standstill but erm I think it’s in the drink now, sleeping with the fishes. I don’t want to disturb the ACZ Moxie Arya new residence so I guess I hafta go find another car…
Eliminated for Drivability and reliability
Nebulon - Hirose Kinaro SMi
This looks like a prime tuner vehicle to shove a 4” exhaust pipe at the rear but as it is now it looks cute and mean.
‘ell even the driving experience was a breeze it felt very responsive around the turns in this circuit although a grand more expensive than the ACZ Moxie Arya at least this one didn’t go in the drink or try to fight me.
Plus it’s pretty quick though not near supercar levels of the ACZ Moxie Arya it seems like a good ‘onest car. But as I was givin’ it the ol’ heel and toe it started to spew loads of white smoke everywhere!
I dunno I think im gonna just leave the car there I’m sure someone smarter than me car fix it (or K swap it maybe)
Eliminated for poor Reliability
Yangx2 - Hirasawa Banoo R3-mX Kosugu Daily Performance Edition 1.6i Single Cam Euroselect
Ah the ah whatumacalet Hirasawa Banoo R3-mX Kosugu Daily Performance Edition 1.6i Single Cam Euroselect yeah that one the ridiculously long named car that I still can’t ‘member the name of.
Well anyway they say the best is saved for last and this one does tick all my boxes. It is a tuner car, it’s cheap, reliable and above all else infinitely cool!
I can ‘ready see underglow bunch ‘o speakers in the trunk and keeping the engine the same cuz you ran out of money along the way. But enough about that driving it is a joy too maybe these japanese guys know a thing of two about cars if they’re so popular ‘round ‘ere.
I already ran out of things to say Master Kosugu must’ve taken the words outta me.
Anyway I’m sold on the Hirasawa Banoo r3mx kosugu whatever it’s name is.
Passed and Kevin new car is this one!
Oh Pillock! I left the bloody stove on I need to get back home as quick as I can!

A good round and a video for the ages to boot. I’m glad xXbassdestroyskrillexwubwubwubXxwhateverhisnameis got to enjoy all 30 seconds of Master Kosugu driving dynamic special 
I will be passing off to the next person. There is only 104 days of summer vacation or whatever they say in Phineas and Ferb.
Average Scottish Hirasawa experience btw:

Quite happy with 6th for my complete shitbox.
Also this clearly shows the reliability and easy driving characteristics of Izuka cars, as mine was one of only two to: not catch on fire, not ruin the clutch, not go in the canal, and not just break.
Very nice QFC though, thanks for hosting it mate.

Another great round, and as always, thanks for hosting and GGs to the other entrants! I’m also quite surprised that Hirose now has two 2nd place cars in a row lol
It also seems hosting has been passed down to me, and I’ve decided that maybe I’ll take a shot at hosting this time (Albeit with the help of a friend who entered this round)! We’re just going to draft something up rq, expect something™ within the next few days or so…
