Power steering and ABS are okay, nothing else.

Just basic springs.



wait... ABS are okay??? like, isnt that a bit complex even for your advanced everyday mechanics?
then again.... fuel injection are okay...
im contradicting myself here....

oh yeah again. which fuel? im guessing low quality?

(if this actually happened, diesel engines would be so much easier to fuel. since they can run on cooking oil.)

Im assuming with no aerodynamics that means no wings? Even though it should be pretty easy to find pieces of metal laying about that you could strap to your roof.

I said slap whatever fixures you want on the car, just leave all the aerodynamics at zero.

Including cooling? Or is that ok?

Re: Post Apocalyptic Ambulance Challenge *Edited for Clarity

If you leave cooling at 0 the car will be untestable, so I assume cooling should be set to something reasonable.

I say set it at the minimum required, leaving brake cooling at 0.

Or perhaps just leave cooling at 0, as increasing it increases drag. And that slows you down, makes your car less fuel efficient, among other nasty things.

That does mean the car is un-drive-able though, as no air gets to the engine.

Re: Post Apocalyptic Ambulance Challenge *Edited for Clarity

Question, what if low quality fuel is not even available as an option for the year I am looking at? And is it -15 quality in EVERY tab (this hasnt been clarified yet, you only keep saying -15 but no real concrete answer).

EDIT: I can get my octane requirement down to the Low Quality level (76), is that sufficient?

Low quality in-game is 80 octane, so that would be the fuel required.

Re: Post Apocalyptic Ambulance Challenge *Edited for Clarity

80 is RON, 76 is AKI. My problem stems from the fact that my car as it is built now, has no access to unleaded fuel and therefore no Low Quality. I have the engine currently tuned to a required octane of 76 (AKI) which is what Low Quality is to begin with. IMO That should be sufficient although I would have higher wear on my valve seats due to the lack of lead.

Re: Post Apocalyptic Ambulance Challenge *Edited for Clarity

Ah, my bad. And yeah, if you're running leaded fuel then there's no low quality gasoline, the lowest is just regular.
