Kei Cars. From Production to Race day.

[DoctorNarfy]

it oesn't say anywhere it has to be a hatchback I used the S2000 style body to make a sporty kei car.

So did I. It still counts it as old in 2015, and thus I get a safety penalty.

Wait, timeout...pause

Max Cost $5,000

or

Maximum Cost $25,000

WHICH ONE IS IT?!

[RobtheFiend]

Maybe $5000 is for just the engine. $25000 for the entire car?

[strop]

The 25k is for the racing series. The original car still needs to be 5k or less, which is why I haven't made an entry yet: it's impossible.

I'm failing only at emissions, and...yeah, I don't really know how to make it better

[strop]

I should have been more comprehensive:

x Minimum Driveability 40
x Minimum Reliability 70
x Minimum Safety 50

Yeah no, don't think you're quite passing all the regs there

Note: it's REALLY HARD to get a 40 driveable car with 63hp. Also, it's hard to get 70 reliability for under 5k. And it's impossible to get minimum safety if you're not using high quality standard safety, advanced safety, or carbon fiber, and even more so in a "kei car" with a budget of 5k. So that last one really needs to be slashed, to, say, 25 or so.

[JasonPoland]

Ok... I paid no attention to anything I guess. We need to wait if the guy who issued that impossible challenge really cares. If not...then someone will need to call 1-800-PYRLIX to close this thing

1-800-PYRLIX

He watches The name has been uttered!

[chargie]

just completed with the spec, body work still sux.

[BlastersPewPew]

Your car is a bit too fast, needs to be under 145kph.

[strop]

That's actually pretty well done. How tight was it getting things on spec?

The main problem I see now is that body doesn't qualify as a kei car in real life. The wheelbase is way too long. What if you used an actual k car body?

Ahh, missed that. Thought it was minimum speed.

this car wheelbase is 2.38m, which is a K-car size body. In real life, I owned a K-car (Daihatsu Cuore], wheelbase is 2.35m. Actually it's a bit challenge to get the spec right, so I've trial and error for 3 hours to get them right.

[chargie]

anyway, renewed version with top speed fix.

[chargie]

engine and chasis

[strop]

Impressive. Does seem like very few combinations actually work so good job finding it. Not sure if many people want to spend 3 hours getting a car together and OP hasn't actually responded to anything!
