Got Rice? Tuners challenge [Accepting Entries | 10.feb DL ]

[strop]

Okay. I'm not sure I'd do a clone, but I'd definitely make something with an engine that's totally ripe for the tuning in that spirit. Toyota Supra clone it may very well be, that definitely is lacking. And I've built one before.

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.

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.

That's not quite what it is, other than the 4 seats and 5 speed.

You want a sports car but your parents tell you it's too uneconomical? You want a pickup truck but they tell you it's too big? This car combines Pickup Truck, Sports car, and econobox all in one!
With a 3L V6, you have more than enough oomph to tow things and have some fun on the track. With both a driver's and passenger's airbag, you can be assured you are safe when you crash.

I loved this car since the moment I saw it in my inbox, I'm definitely going to use it in one of the challenges!

I'm placing the challenge on hold as my PC is on life support now. I've been getting an Event 41 error that causes a BSoD whenever I play a game that requires some power out of the CPU / GPU. I'm not entirley sure but I think it's the PSU. If somebody knows a good deal about computers and fixing the STOP errors please PM me, until I fix it, this challenge is on HOLD

Seems to be the PSU conking out, although when mine died back in April 2015 it just shut down and refused to start again before a new PSU was installed.

If I knew the BSoD code, I might be able to shed a little light on the situation. Dealt with plenty of blue-screens in my past.

I'll ask a simple request for everybody that submitted their cars in the past 3 days, please fill out the template as I'm spending all my free time catching a solution to my problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Got the BSoD's figured, the computer was using 5 sound driver programs?! I disabled 4 and now it works like a charm again (Damn nvidia and their forced drivers!)

Do you still need us to fill out the template?

Also, I'm a bit confused, has anybody started submitting tuned cars yet, or just the base company offerings so far? I'm presuming the latter.

I'll fill them out today as I have some free time. For now it is just company submissions the tuning will start in a few days!

[Madrias]

Can't wait to start tuning! Small budget, but totally worth it.

[strop]

I AM READY

[Madrias]

I can already tell this is going to be fun. I don't typically try to make super horsepower on a slim budget, but I've got a few ideas on how to make the Surge fast.

Now that we're about to tune the cars, I'd like to ask: are we allowed to use leaded petrol? I assume that we aren't, given that it'd be a moot point when we're allowed to use 98RON, right?

Considering the fact that leaded fuel probably wasn't mass produced for the past 10 years, I'll remove it
