Nicely done , but Saminda is whole second faster then you … maybe gearing config

woah , what suprises me is i got so much comment about the C1

story wise , thanks to the i-VIC and ProAIR turbocharger technology , giving excellent fuel economy without sacrificing performance ,

if talking about Hybrid , thanks to the SRU , “Saminda Regenerate Unit” which help to recapture some of the energy lost through deceleration, and reuse that energy later on to help accelerate the vehicle , which help to increase fuel economy too.

Game wise , i use quality slider to lower emission and better fuel economy , what i do is similiar to how phale done it

@SeriousSimon Saminda and Citreon have a very long of good relationship :wink:

@strop you are right mate , that is how i-VIC works

DI makes a big difference over MPEFI, especially once established, i.e. past 2012 or so. Put points into it, and your ratings can be even better.

definitely possible. but i tried to not push the packaging too far.

@Starfish94 that $16k price tag is that just ‘made up’ for role playing, or is that an actual automation ‘estimated’ price, and if so, at what profit margin?

not to mention how do you get the utility rating so high for that body and suspension setup?

the car i tried to make with 15% profit margin already priced at $15.5k. and that was running on 91 octane fuel. no magnesium engine, as i have never heard magnesium engine being used in a non-sports car before, especially hybrids.

that is make up for role playing , all my car price is calculated from total cost and production units , my est price by the game is 20 to 23k , cant rmb as i am not at home now

maybe due to i did some suspension tuning , ride height do affect the utility too i realise

i am not using magnesium too , i used forge engin

oh… that explains the high stats.
i managed to match the economy number because i changed to 95octane.
but wait… total cost and prod units? if that is the case, then my car is way overpriced :stuck_out_tongue:

and you get that kind of economy number using forged pistons?!?! O_O

I dont see the point having Auxuras anymore…

#Saminda to recall all RB Series engines equipped with turbocharged due to piston ring not properly secured.

After recalling more then 15 Millions vehicle worldwide due to ignition problems , another scandal hit Saminda , again

Saminda said it will recall all cars equipped with 1.5 and 2.0 liter RB series turbocharger engines due to piston ring not properly secured , and urge customers to go to the nearest Saminda dealership as soon as possible.

"Saminda is struggling , however we will guarantee and ensure you we will fix it " said Yuko Nagoya , CEO of Global Saminda Motor Co. of Japan.

Piston ring not secured? I dont think those engines would make it out of the lot without grenading.

aaaaandd we will soon see bunch of junk RB engines that have already been badly damaged in the nearest junkyard. but that also means good opportunity to get some good engine to be swapped :slight_smile:

The piston ring is not seated properly , maybe i used the wrong term , main complains is from C3 owner equipped with the 1.5 liter turbo engine.

if your Saminda comes out smoke from exhaust , please proceed to the nearest Saminda dealership and have it checked for free

After this many recalls Saminda would need to file for bankruptcy very soon.

Nah it’s ok I’m sure they will be bailed out by someone
