The 16V Hot Hatch competition (1993)

is it alright if I reuse one of my older designs for this? I’d still need to make a whole new engine for it.

The ZX was quite clever there, featuring an adjustable rear seat IIRC.

Ive seen it done b4.

If its not forbidden in the Rules, it is allowed. Many cars have been recycled already.

this changelog has yet to make it’s way up into the header post, FYI

Are we allowed to do smaller NA engines than 1.6 if it still reaches 100hp? I’d like to do a 1.5 because Asia.

Neat. Can’t decide between a German or Japanese body, so I guess I’ll make a good mix. German Geo anyone?

Meet halfway in Kazakhstan.

I forgot to ask earlier, Is any form of Advanced Trim Settings allowed?

I’d expect their use to be permitted (as long as it’s in moderation); either that, or anything goes unless it can be replicated through engineering (such as wheel/tire width, offset, and/or diameter, ride height, etc.)

since the TP doesn’t show on the supercharger version should we just leave at +5?

For Al Rilma, everything +6 except for Turbo that is +3.

For the advanced trim settings, I ageee with abg. Keep it sane and then it will be fine.

RyoMotoCO has heard the plea for a performance hatch, for 1993 we offer the KickFlip GTI.
150HP and 5 speed gear box in out compact hatch offers a spirited drive at a low entry price.

We may not be the most at anything, but we offer a solid choice cars at an affordable price.

(Photo mode keeps crashing on my rig for unknown reason so I offer a magazine page in place of showroom images)
