Founded by Kenta Tochikura in 1973, the Tochikura Motor Corporation stands out as the only manufacturer to utilize the boxer engine in every vehicle they produce.
Their goal is to take on the world of “bang for your buck”, affordable sports cars that pack a punch. They also sell sensible family sedans, wagons, and SUVs, but they aren’t shy about the fact that they’re just to finance the design and production of their more sporty offerings.
What body did you use to make this? I’m sure it’s neither the '89 Z15A/Z16A GTO/3000GT body nor any of the '83 Bean body sets, and all of those have a similarly rounded appearance. In fact, it could be a remake of the '90 F-body mod from the Kee era (a favorite of mine back then) - and I think that one’s part of the legacy body mod pack.
From what I’ve seen so far, the entire Basenji line is based on one of the '88 Indicator body sets - my guess is the smallest one, with a 2.55m wheelbase.
And it would easily fill the void left behind by the W30 MR2, being a small mid-engined roadster (or coupe). But what engine (in-game) does it have, and what transmissions are available? Anyway, it looks quite cute up front (a desirable, if not necessary, antidote to the unnecessarily forceful exterior designs found on modern modern cars), and sufficiently purposeful from the rear.
When I heard that the Oncilla was powered by a H-pattern manual, I was relieved - until I found out that it only had 5 forward speeds. That would have been acceptable in the last two decades of the 20th century, but not today. So why didn’t you use a 6-speed gearbox? Was it to keep costs down, or to reduce wheelspin, or both?
I originally intended for the Tiger to have pop-ups but, as I was still rather noobish with Automation then, I didn’t know what I had to do to make them work until now.
