The Sharing Is Caring challenge [Supply phase]

[Dragawn]

So, we usually always play against eachother, which can be toxic, so I wanted to mix it up with a challenge where you, atleast in some way, have to work together.

Thus I came up with the Sharing Is Caring challenge, which will consist of two phases: the supply and the build phase.

In the supply phase anyone is invited to come submit a single car model, without any trims, but with the styling finished, and a mismatched engine, fully completed (single family and single variant). Mismatched in order to encourage diversity in the challenge. For example: a van and a supercar engine, a city car and a luxury engine, a muscle car with an ecoboost engine,… Doesn’t have to be dramatically mismatched, just developed for different buyer groups in mind. The engines and models have to be from 2011-2016. Thus a “parts bin” will be created.

In the build phase participants can use the given models and engines to build a trim with an as high competitiveness as possible, but cannot use two parts from the same person, nor use any part they made, or had a hand in creating. So model will always be from a certain player A, engine from player B, and trim from player C. The only thing you’re allowed to alter is the trim tab, and choose drivetrain layout. An overall winner will be chosen with the highest competitiveness with +50% affordability, there also will be winners declared for the following categories: family, city, sportscar, supercar, utility, luxury and 4x4.

Rules:

-Open beta build will be used.

Supply phase:
-Year 2011-2016
-The model and engine must be a mismatch in target buyer.
-Attach model .lua and engine export to your post to “supply” the parts.

• 1 model, 1 engine

Build phase:
-The year is 2016 for the trim, engine retains year
-Only Trim tab and drivetrain layout may be adjusted, not even quality sliders on other tabs, nor can styling be adjusted.
-Average reliability greater than or equal to 69 and minimum cooling requirement met.
-estimated prices will be used.

I’ll put up a small database of the entered models and engines once the supply phase ends with a link to your post.

Naming convention: “SIC (your name) - (part name)”

Current phase: Supply

Feel free to enter your models and engines through posting them here, by attachment and a small description in your post.

Supply deadline: 23rd July

I like the idea, actually. My vote would be to roll with estimated.

I’d have to think on how best to come up with an idea for the first phase, but I think the idea sounds pretty cool.

[BobLoblaw]

Sounds intriguing, I’ve already got an idea in the works.

[lukerules117]

sounds fun. but do you mean having it missmatched as in just a separate car and separate engine as in just like the body of the car with none of the stuff in the third tab done and an engine that possibly wouldnt even fit in that specific engine bay(although still not overly huge)? And this quote gave me a little chuckle. Mismatched in order to encourage diversity in the challenge. For

example: a van and a supercar engine, a city car and a luxury engine, a muscle car with an ecoboost engine

Looks like ford already has their submission ready,

There has been a historical real-life precedent for this. The AC Ace was originally powered by a straight-six, but Carroll Shelby considered that engine underpowered for his liking, so he installed a Ford V-8 in its place, and thus the Cobra was born. The Cobra had wider wheel arches and fenders all around to accommodate the wider tires needed to put all that extra power to the ground.

I actually have a small RWD coupe with a turbo I4 plucked out of a family car, but as this car can be turned into a proper muscle car with relative ease, I propose that another user provide a V8 with 400 to 500 bhp and install that in my vehicle, replacing the underpowered four in the process. Just make sure to follow the rules stated by @Dragawn when doing so (body and engine quality unchanged, average reliability >69, trim year 2016, engine family year left as-is, as much cooling capacity as the new engine requires, but trim tab adjustments and drivetrain changes are possible, in case you forgot to read the first post)… Above all, have fun!

As for exporting: I could attach the car model I want to supply for my post along with an engine for others to retrofit. I also have a lot of ideas for engines hanging around: I am most likely to submit a V8 (either cross-plane or flat-crank, and not necessarily turbocharged) - either a high-revving unit with relatively low displacement, or a high-capacity engine with a lower redline - for others to install on their own cars if they can (or want to) since it can generally fit in short engine bays.

[Dragawn]

Yeah, separate engine and car is what I meant. So engine exported, and model .lua as separate entries. so you can enter both a Smart and a huge V12. The idea is that people will choose a car from one player and then go look for an engine from another player, or other way round, I don’t care

Doesn’t even have to be specifically made for this, if you got a model where you liked how the styling turned out or got an engine you’re pleased with, go ahead and share if you feel like it!

@abg7 Another user could make a V8 for your coupe, but they wouldn’t be able to use it themselves

EDIT: Supply phase has now started!

A Retro-Themed muscle/pony car waiting for the right engine. Monocoque chassis made of AHS steel, skinned with Aluminum. Model year 2016. Longitudinal engine mounting, front engine only, with double-wishbone suspension at the front and at the rear. Has plenty of cooling capacity for higher-displacement engines, or possibly turbocharged high-displacement, if you’re feeling bold enough.

Some called it the One Liter Wonder. 90 horsepower, turbocharged I6 that could be transverse mounted if one really wanted to. Kinda expensive because nothing (except magnesium) was held back in building this engine. AlSi block and heads, DOHC 4 valve with VVT and VVL, billet steel crank, titanium connecting rods, and low-friction cast pistons, all chosen for reduced weight. 10:1 compression ratio, with 0 Cam Profile and 70 VVL profile. Ball Bearing turbocharger with Air-Air Medium-size intercooler included. Turbocharger is small and economically minded. Direct Injection with Throttle Per Cylinder and a Performance intake. Runs on Premium Unleaded, at 15:1. 8000 RPM redline. Basic 3-way catalytic converter with dual baffled mufflers, 1.75" pipe diameter. Kinda quiet, very smooth power curve despite the turbo and aggressive VVL profile.

(I think the two markets I’ve picked would be far enough apart that I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes by making stuff available already. I figure, one’s a pony/muscle/sports car, the other’s a mid-prestige eco-engine suitable for something tiny. Both were kinda made for this, but derived from ideas I’ve had in the past. I love the Inline 6, but it’s rarely practical in modern cars, so I tried to make a practical small I6 to combat the farting fours. The car, it was designed around the “Cars should go fast in more than just a straight line” mentality, as evidenced by the double-wishbone suspension. Of course, that doesn’t stop someone whacking in a monster-sized V8 and trying to twist the frame to hell and back, but it’s a design I liked.)

My entry is a 2016 Petoskey Stag, a staple pickup truck since 1960.

This latest edition offers a premium interior with state of the art electronics to keep passengers entertained for those long road trips. The Stag retains a rear leaf spring suspension to ensure maximum load capacity giving the Stag a utility capacity second to none. In addition, the six passenger cab will allow you to haul not just materials, but the whole work crew to the job site. A rugged 6RE7 transmission allows for reasonable fuel economy with solid towing capability upon demand. The electronic 4x4 system and standard 33" tires will make sure you get to the job site no matter where it is.

The 301 ScramJet was introduced in 2013 as a replacement for the 301 TriForce which was introduced in 1994. The engine follows the same legacy of the 301 V8 introduced in 1962 sharing the same bore and stroke, the ScramJet is the latest generation of this engine. Built to be a solid muscle car engine, the ScramJet uses the same VVL technology of her predecessor to combine the benefits of fuel efficiency and performance. In addition to performance, the Scramjet also boasts remarkable durability allowing it to stand up to all kinds of abuse without worry. (I don’t know how to post the engine separate so it is currently in the Stag pickup. As it turns out this engine is good for thrashing about in a muscle car, but not as much for moving a 6000 lb truck.)

If you switch to engine section you can export engines separately

I’m a bit tired right now so im not going to go too in depth about my car or engine.

This is the kingsnake, it’s meant to be comfortable while still performing well and has enough cooling for most engines. it uses DW suspension on the front and multilink in the rear with a front longitudinal engine.

And a tiny naturally aspirated I4 designed to be efficient, light, and cheap, while it might not have enough power for heavy duty applications it will be plenty for a lightweight economy car.

I clicked export and it did nothing.

[Dragawn]

Did you select the variant?

[BobLoblaw]

Yes I did.

[Dragawn]

Let me try it for you then, grabbing your car and getting the engine out exported myself if that’s fine with you.

[BobLoblaw]

Go for it.

[Dragawn]

I see what the problem was: the engine and car shared the same family name, so it overwrote in export, anyways, here’s the proper files!

DSD would like to throw our failed kei car design into the mix
This little pocket rocket is set up for fun and street racing.
Very light small space-frame chassis with a mid longitudinal engine mounting position and push rods front and rear with a AHS steel chassis and Aluminium panels and some slider tuning.

2 eco engines and 1 supercar? engine

i’ll be throwing a wrench somewhere

the monstrosity that is a car (thank god you’re allowed to redesign it.)

SIC-koolkei-PP-engine.zip (148.8 KB)
the ‘28DDI-B’ variant please.
the engine, my favourite engine lineup that i’ve ever made. the PP lineup. it’s a universal engine.
from 2.2L to 3.3L, from 156hp to 430hp.

thx to magnesium construction, it’s fairly light at it’s size.
due to it’s capacity size, it has enough grunt to power anything.
due to it’s wide available power range, it can power anything from a small roadster to a truck or a van
due to it’s efficiency, anything you put it in will get good economy in it’s class
due to being an inline4 engine, packaging is excellent, and you could put it in any way you want it.
but if there’s 1 thing it’s not suited for, it’s the premium and luxury market, because high capacity inline4, it’s pretty rough when running.
thus. this monstrosity

test text. how do i resize fonts dammit.
also, i’ll be using one of those variants in the current CSR round. yes, you can get a look of the engine i’ll be using.
