To get around lhd and rhd issue, put wipers that aren’t driver’s side specific like the ones on the Citroen Xsara Picasso and the never Opels/Vauxhalls
Original advertisement for the 1983 Tanaka Laventa 2.0 G. The Laventa model is only available in Europe (and Frunia in this case too).

Deleted the old, and made a new, higher quality two-page advertisement to marketing-talk the Clairvoyance.
Stats that might give away clues to others have been blacked out, of course.

When submitting the car can we submit multiple colours so that you will be able to choose the one you like the best as every customer would @Quotex?
The Zap was released in 1979 and it was the first front transverse layout of Žnoprešk.
The Zest/Zenit combo was released in 1983 based on the technology developed on the Zap.

This’d be my first contest submission as well as my first post on these forums. Are we submitting .car files to the OP? I’ve never done this before. Thanks in advance (and I know I probably should ask this somewhere else).
Yes, you should post an ad and perhaps other screenshots here on the forum; then private message the OP with the name of your car in the subject line, maybe some info in the body of the message, and the car file. You can simply drag the file into the pm.
EDIT: @Admiral_Obvious If you ever have trouble sending PMs again you can use discord instead
Yeah, apparently I wasn’t allowed to use PMs cuz new forum account. I thought so though.
P.S. I can sent PMs now.
I demand you to stop right here because nobody cares and thanks for calling me out “rude lil bitch”.

Getting hostile over valid criticism and calling HybridTronny a “rude lil bitch” isn’t doing you any favors
because the challenge is a shitbox-focused challenge? it was pretty clear that the goal of the challenge is cheap and nasty

that is true however this is the D segment so cars with basic interiors would be a bit too ‘cheap and nasty’ to be seen as competitive and the primary competitiors in this challenge do include the BMW 3 Series , Audi 80 , the 190e mercedes benz and other slightly more umparket than the common as muck fords and vauxhalls of the world so hopefully a ‘100bhp Triumph-dolomite esque trimmed and engineered’ car shouldnt be too out of place
i see someone hasn’t reflected on WHY they were banned on discord.

While the Audi 80, BMW 3-Series and 190E are indeed mentioned as example cars, The ones pictured are either the absolute bottom line trim levels, or close to being so.
And can you not refer to the other submissions as “cheap and nasty” whilst uptalking the overengineering of your own car. It’s a dick move. I’ll be the one who gets to review them so i’ll be the judge of that.

I’m not a mod here, but I think anything said further is only going to do more damage, lets just let the challenge play out and not derail the thread further please.

On the contrary, the overengineering that is present in my car is quite a bad thing in this instance, the reliability will and has suffered accordingly and the price is a little on the high side even though like the german cars , the rather sub par and half hearted attempt at a car that i presented is the lowest available trim level. alot of the other cars in this challenge seem alot better thought out and far more up to the task than the marketing and engineering misstep i entered.
The mid-level 1983 BMW 318i had a 1.8L 4 cylinder with a SOHC and 2 valves per cylinder producing 103hp
The top level 1983 Audi 80 GL had a 1.8L 4 cylinder with a SOHC and 2 valves per cylinder producing 89hp
The mid-level Mercedes 190E had a 2.0L 4 cylinder with a SOHC and 2 valves per cylinder producing 122hp
(though the base 190 with a 90hp engine is probably more accurate to this challenge)
None of these cars are cheap and nasty, yet none of them have DOHC or 4 valves. In fact, the only engine that comes to mind in this challenge with 4 valves (SOHC mind you) is a “muck” Ford 1.6 CVH.
