Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Finished]

[strop]

But.. I have a question...

I laughed so hard. I bet Roland loved that one.

EDIT: also

Also, just a quick tip as I don't know if that bug is fixed in the public release. There is/was a minor issue when creating a new engine variant, where the displacement of the new variant ended up being the default displacement for the engine layout (ex: 2L for I4s).

I've switched to the public build for the time being, and can confirm that the displacement bug still appears to be there.

In addition, I'm not sure why, but the message about multiple trims in the chassis tab appears to have gone missing for me!

[Leonardo9613]

Strop, that message still appears for me, especially in imported cars.

Also, important note, the export function seems to have some bugs. For example, on conan's entry, everything was in the correct place, except for the engine for his eco version. So please be aware of that and, if possible, double check that all the files are present on the .zip.

[Riso]

Alright folks, this is it.
Riso Motors presents: The SHX*.

Here you can see the ECO version in a beautiful shade of blue.


*this is in no way an abbreviation for Shitbox as Leo called the prototype.

Assuming it passes scrutineering, Packbat Auto Works is proud to present the newly reborn 1993 Murina FC (Fairly Cheap):

For less cost-conscious customers, we also offer the turbocharged NE (Not Expensive) trim for your hooning pleasure.

[VicVictory]

Great challenge. Count me in.

Sorry buddy... you're not going to get a crack at beating Ardent this time around.

...

You'll have to settle for spanking Suzume.

Shizuka G.jpg (63.69 KiB) Viewed 4126 times

Suzume Motor Manufacturing Industries presents an economy car for the frugal-minded and foot-lazy. The Shizuka G comes standard with the Reisei-series RB4-C motor, one of the larger ones produced by Suzume at 1697cc. Complicated and expensive electronics are eschewed where possible, but that doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice your favorite radio station on the way to work! Rejoice, for an AM/FM/Cassette deck with memory and scan functions also comes standard!

For those who want a quickening in their pulse, spring for the Shizuka G-Limited. Special sport suspension treatments and a Sanma-series SS6-B 2.0 liter motor (mated to a 5-speed manual, for enjoyment) make driving a thrill*. The G-Limited is as close to Suzume's race cars as you can legally buy!

(*Translation was not clear, could also have been "nightmare")

I'm curious to see the results VicVictory

This will be the Znopresk lineup for the challenge.


1.4 Prima ECO
The 1.4 Prima ECO it's the perfect choice for commuters all around the world.
With a very little fuel consumption this mid range Zap! need less than 5 liters to cover 100km in full comfort thanks to the progressive springs, monotube dampers and automatic gearbox.
A very flat torque and power curve means that you always have the 70 hp always available, in every gear and at every speed.

2.0 TOP ZRP
The 2.0 TOP ZRP it's the most expensive Zap! available.
The Znopresk Reparto Performance were able to squeeze more than 180 horsepower from the same ZL4.4C-2014 block that is used also for the 1.4 Prima ECO.
The massive sportiness gain didn't sacrifice the great drivability of the 1.4 liter version too much, but surely the 5l/100km fuel consumption is now very far away.
Leather interior with bucket seats will help you to deal with the firmer setup suspension and increase the road feel.

ZRP TROPHY
With ZRP Trophy the Reparto Performance went wild, pushing the ZL4.4C-2014 up to its limit. We can just say that we are over 100hp/liter.
According to the specs we are under 900kg of weight and we are expecting a decent performance.
The racing setup it's probably not completed yet, but the car should be competitive and it can be fixed later on.

[Sayonara]

Definitely entering this one.

Trying to decide whether I want an I4 that revs to heaven (a la Honda B18C) or a small-displacement V6 that revs to heaven (a la Mazda KF-ZE); also struggling to quit my CR-X addiction.

[8bs]

I will enter the challenge with a 3 door hatchback. Probably not the most practical car, but i'll give it a go.

The Eco version is based on the basic version of the model "Ct", featuring (as standard in all range): Inline 4 dohc 16v catalysed, standard safety and power steering. This test model was also fitted with a basic cassette player, and metalic grey color (both optional).

Sport.png (354.51 KiB) Viewed 4149 times

The sport version has the same engine, here with a sporty 1.8lt MPI developing 134 hp. 0-100 in 8.1s and 206 km/h top speed. ABS + 14" alloy wheels + standard cassette player as standard. Dark metalic grey paint is optional.

The racing version features an 2.0lt with 230hp and racing features lol.

[Absurdist]

Wow. Those look awesome haha, I will have to up my game. Two headlights per car!

[TrackpadUser]

The Northern Motor Company presents you, the 1993 NMC Lynx.

The first model is the GS model, with a 1.2L SOHC 16V engine that should give great fuel economy and decent power for its category.



The second model is the RS model, with a detuned 2.0L racing V6. It is proper fast, although care is reccomended while driving in order to not destroy the front tires.



And the last one, from the same group that brought you the NMC Lynx ST4 Group A, the Lynx RR. With its 2.0L V6 tuned for all out racing, its slick tires and aero package, it should hopefully get very good times on the track. Except if someone found something a magic trick that I don't know.

I'm really enjoying the way everyone makes sure that the different models are well-distinguished visually. And I especially like @8bs's lineup. Love the designs of those cars.

On an unrelated note, though: I have mixed feelings about people posting specific details about their cars (e.g. horsepower numbers). On the one hand, it gives the people who are still working on their designs an idea of what they should consider competitive, which - if their initial design wouldn't have been - could be either an advantage or a source of discouragement. On the other hand, it's really fun flavor for people reading the thread. But on the gripping hand, it makes me more and more convinced that I'm totally going to be knocked out of the running before the BROBOT races.

[TrackpadUser]

For horsepower numbers IMHO it depends, because it is just a number that happens to affect the stats that will be judged.

If you say your Eco variant has 70hp, it doesn't tell me if it is good or not, it depends on how you made it. A 70hp 1.3L 16V engine is probably a much better choice than a 2.0L OHV or 2.0L DOHC V6 making the same amount of power.

Same thing with the sporty trim. If you say your sporty version has over 200 hp for example, which is definitively doable, it still doesn't mean much, as the way the power was achieved and the other things around the engine will also have a big effect.

For example, I have about as much power in my sporty trim as NormanVauxhall, but since I have an NA V6 and he has a Turbo I4, I wouldn't be surprised if my driveability and fuel consumption were better.

The stats that IMHO should not be shared, would be the main 5 stats, as well as track times for the race car.

[RoyalStig]

SNIP. But on the gripping hand, it makes me more and more convinced that I'm totally going to be knocked out of the running before the BROBOT races.

Same here, as much as I'd like to think I'm good, I doubt my cars will make it far

[Leonardo9613]

I am liking the effort that people are putting onto their cars, it makes me very happy to see a well thought-out car in my inbox

[8bs]

I'm a bit "meticulous" with the visuals, but the technical stuff is more important of course. I hope my car turns at least...decent and competitive!! lol

TrackpadUser is right. Power itself doesn't mean that much! The main stats will be revealed in it's time.

Everybody should build their cars: 1) having fun; 2) the way you think that they should be!
