Here she is if you want to see and comment on my masterpiece.

It is the year 2000 and the endurance racing hype is about to peak in the UK. The Britcar 24hour race is upcoming and you have been entered but the only car you could seem to get your hands on is a 1994 Sabre Contenza 1.8. With only 25000 miles on the clock, this 817kg 95hp hatchback seems to have potential. The only problem is funds and time.

[Jakgoe]

Rileybanks! You have 18hrs to finish, or confirm that you are working on it, else it goes to Strop.

[strop]

Yeah I've noticed he's been unwell, so he said in the Group B rally thread. I'll be on standby.

[rileybanks]

Is the tech year changeable?
(I've been away for a few days, meaning this is the first chance I've had at the challenge.)

[Jakgoe]

No, the engine year is 2015, that's unchangeable. Same with the platform year of 1999.

[rileybanks]

Done! This taught a few things to so with engine design and tuning.

[strop]

Ho ho ho, okay riley, you're challenging me next.

DO YOUR WORST

But probably, make sure the challenge is actually doable, otherwise 99% chance I'll be able to tell it's impossible, but the 1% of me that refuses to buy it will get really bothered!

[np1993]

The ultimate challenge for strop, build a reasonable mass production city car.... dun dun duhhh :-p jks

[VicVictory]

I dunno... he did a good job of modding out the Stumpy when I gave it to him.

[Leonardo9613]

Ultimate challenge for strop is to make a car in less than 3 hours

[strop]

Oh snap Leo :p

I'll have you know that the 1975 turbo cup car was a sixty minute build! (Okay okay, I know that's still a fairly long time, but you know, replica styling!)

P.s. really, please don't set me a 3 hour time limit, I'll probably fail!

[EnryGT5]

That would have been more appropriate for me, since almost ALL of my comp entries took DAYS to make, especially because i have to choose a Seishido model to tackle the challenge with, then rework the aesthetics in a feasible way, THEN i select an engine to modify, yup, that's why i post the cars 10 minutes before the deadline

(Please, i beg you, don't give me a time limit in the second round)
