Havana Special (Idea)

[Manche]

I am trying to workout the details

the engines elegible for swapping are
Lada 1.5 sohc I4
Volga 2.5 ohv I4
Monster Italian aviation 16+ sohc v12 (contribution from an user, with a story to back it up)
283 Cui 4.8(L) v8

dont have to be identical to the rl analogs, something that some user developed (so long the company has the right origin)

i was about to suggest communitasia 2.5L I4, but then i read "from the right origin" can i just say the cars were produced and sold over there?

By origin I mean anything eastern block from 1959 to 1991, then you can have some euro and asian stuff

EDIT

I will have to think how do I deal with the trim age and that stuff, because a 2015 car is 50% more weight and than a 1955 identical car which is nonesense imho

You can impose a year e.g. 2012 for the trimfor everyone, but using the model for older years, in fact the cars will be rebuild in modern times

here it comes, the benchmark car

changes

Engine swapped in favor of a 2.8 V8 with 4 webers running in regular unleaded with smuggled forged bits and lots dye grinding for better head flow

solid discs gathered from a splatted ruskymobile or maybe they are from the Mk2 pampero... who knows

banded stock steelie wheels to fit 205 mm tires

resprayed in mint housepaint

does the automation track in 2:21.13

looks to be based from the communitasia... nevermind, realized no door handles
well anyways, i think i get the idea now, so we take some older crappy cars, swap out the engine and we can modify a few internal parts, along with get other parts matching the specs of other various vehicles? if i'm right, are turbo's allowed?

[Manche]

turbos are OK they can always come from a salvaged diesel. and the V8 sourced from the car was from another pre 1959 car from a fictional brand that is meant to mimic Simca

[squidhead]

Give us options on teh engines (post engine families we should download), tell us what we can change in engines. Tell us which car bodies are eligible, or which cars are, and we'll get this show going!

[Manche]

Sure!
