Uh oh Absurdist.... we have the same body.... and the same tires.


Though I would say suicide doors on a family car is a bold thing to do.

Oh dear! I didn't see that. :oops:

I would use the word "inspired".


As for the vents, I...... ... errr, ah! It has a sophisticated rear->front air cooling system in order to provide sufficient cooling for the mighty turbo.

..... I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore.

Re: Family Haulers [1980] [ENTRIES OPEN]

I'll laugh if we take 1st and second with that configuration.

You could bill the doors as something fun for the kids to use... the vents are to limit how hard the door throws them out... has an adjustment inside the door.

Haha didn't think of that. :D Ace

On your car, how excessive is excessively built exactly? I am curious.

Re: Family Haulers [1980] [ENTRIES OPEN]

May I say I'm shocked that Znopresk is not submitting a Lincoln-sized body with a 1300cc engine.... :lol:

Including pending revisions and verifications, we're at 24 entries. At this point any more entries submitted will be held in reserve only in case one of the 5 pendings drops out or is disqualified for some reason.

(the 4 I just received will be checked tonight after I get home from work, and hopefully by then Baltazar will have figured out their LUA... I mean tooling... issues)

Re: Family Haulers [1980] [ENTRIES OPEN]

something funy happens with my car, when you open it it says the car will cost 7040, but if you click the test button again it will go down to 6994 I think.

edit:Bottom end +4, top end +4, fuel +3, exhaust +2
Transmission +3, Brakes +1, Aero +2, Interior +2, Driver assists +3, Safety +2, suspension +1
Body +1, Frame +1, fixtures +1

So the whole car is over engineered.

I thought about using that body, but I couldn't get the cost and performances to work out.

Yes, Vic knows about it, he clicks a few tabs to get things to settle out.

This is why I click through the tabs before actually marking down the scores, because there are a couple things that have to "settle in", so to speak.

Even the pre-steam version did this with Aero specifically. You always had to click the cooling tab down then up once to get the values to calculate properly.

SUV's weren't "popular" as "family" vehicles until the early 90's true, but they DID exist. See: Ford Bronco, Chevrolet Suburban, Dodge Ramcharger.

I will say from what I've seen so far is that there is MASSIVE variety in how you all are tackling this challenge. It's great! :D
