Znopresk ZAP! Trophy - 1988

Since 1946 Znopresk is a sinonimous for cheap, confortable and safe cars. But the ZAP! is trying all the best to wash away that boring aurea that surrounds the brand.

The 1.4 liter sport version was a good hit on the market, but Znopresk wants to create something more juicy: a special ZAP! trophy open to private tuning company and other car makers. Here any brand can prepare their own developed tuning kit for the ZAP! and race against the others.

RULES
Image

As stated above, Znopresk will provide the Car Model (Znopresk ZAP 1988) and the Engine Family (CL4.3-1410), along with the base trim 1.0EL version (and engine variant) and the 1.4 SPORT trim (and engine variant) only for your reference. Check attachment in OP.
You are free to create your car trim and engine version, following the restrictions shown.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Creating a blank engine variant, will set the default dispacement beyond the real max capacity of the engine family. You should click the max/bore sliders in the variant tab in order to correct the issue. If you don't do it you'll submit a "faulty" engine that will disqualify your entry.
The car have a .LUA edit mod for vents, chrome stripes and headlight. Please download the vents from here (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=5964)

It might not be bugged, having the platform and engine families locked is the whole point of the championship. You have to work around those limitations, because this is spec racing, so the competition will be close.

Exactly. The Zap can't be changed in chassis options, bodywork and fixtures. You can modify the trim (gearbox, tyres, brakes, aero, interior and suspension).
The engine base can't be changed (max bore/stroke, head valve, cylinder numbers and configuration) but you can chage, bottom end, top end tune, fuel delivery system and exhaust.

That's the point of the whole Trophy.
