You got it, but in 2016 you'll have a lot more parts to put into it


I'm still in the underdog Visto camp. Besides, the Vissan has gained too much fanboys after it became the poster car for the Trans Gurismo games, and the Nick for Speak series. It's too mainstream.


Rumors speak Royota Supa and Asecii VVR (Civic clone) are going to be re-stocked in the nearby dealerships

Ok, just one more oddity. I... promise?

The Brezza export model may be fun to drive but it certainly has some flaws. "Just don't look at it from behind" and "It just doesn't want to be controlled" most reviews would state. And then there's the emissions...
A malnourished 3 liter square V6 makes this kitty go. Could it perhaps be turned into a lion?

Anyway. I'm seeing some delicious 80's goodness in the showroom. Can't wait to get my hands on 'em.

let's see if anyone recognizes this pathetic attempt of a car replica.

In 1992, the Japanese division of Solo Motors Co. did something... strange. The Shiba Inu SM, only ever sold in Japan is uniquely designed and only those who drive it truly realise how unconventional it is. Of course the engine was detuned for tax purposes, but the enthusiasts know just what to do to get its full potential.

1986 Will be the year we find out if you be brave enough to tame the Omega turbo's 215HP.

Is that a FR coupe with 4 seats and a 5 speed manual? If it is, you've probably got my entry covered and I'll submit something different.

Re: Got Rice? Tuners challenge [Accepting Cars/Showroom Done

Here's Kirk's Submission to be riced. Our class Kirk Kiata - TXL

Image

This was well known as our first car with what we called Dual Stage Valves (DSV). It was our first attempt at VVL, which created an aggressive double humped torque curve that turners love! It's base model is tuned for efficiency, getting 34MPG and 110HP.

Not a rocket by today's standards, but was competitive in it's class at the time.

Time to strap on MORE LEAF BLOWERS!!!

Re: Got Rice? Tuners challenge [Accepting Cars/Showroom Done

So it's 2007 and you're looking for something with four doors and decent gas mileage? Don't want to shell out for one of those 'hybrids' with their heavy batteries and underwhelming performance? Love the smell of burning gasoline in the morning? Then our latest model, the Storm Surge should please you.

With a turbocharged 2 liter I4 sending power to all four wheels through a 6 speed stick, you'd think it'd get horrible gas mileage. It doesn't. It gets 36 MPG, while still giving you enough power to win a few of those stoplight drag races against people who think your Surge is 'just another econobox.'

Another addition to the challenge for me.
Introducing the Asecii VV-R, featuring the TypeAR VV16DTE Engine with a small displ. of 1.7l but an insane revving capacity of almost 9000RPM!
(Yes it's a Honda Civic clone)

VeeeeeeeeTEC!

Okay I'm going to come up with a new idea, for maximum ricing potential. To keep the drivetrains balanced, what would you like to see, BlahLord?

Well most ricing is done on econoboxes, so I'd prefer the cars to be that, not a GT-R ready for the ricing.

I'd love to see a Subaru/Mitsubishi knock-off/clone, a Toyota Supra clone (If possible I couldn't find a good body to replicate one), we're missing an AE86 knockoff/clone.
As for the drivetrains and setups we have a few turbocharged cars, FWD/RWD/AWD cars are pretty balanced there are no 4x4's though. There are two automatics and no sequential gearboxes yet. We could use something modern like an GT86/BRZ/FR-S clone or a nissan350z/370z.
Woah that's quite a lot

Doesn't say you have to rice the car, it's just a joke but some people are going to rice hard on the third challenge..
As for the first two challenges we are going to see true tuners (Tuning at it's best I'd say)
