Sell on Monday, Win on Sunday [Finished]

Quality sliders gives a little boost for a high cost (usually); can be used for fine tuning but a good car recipe it's the best way to make a good score. I've used very little quality too.

[TrackpadUser]

Yeah, in general quality isn't really worth it unless you have a very high budget, which isn't really the case here.

Although I did use some quality in my race car, I used almost none in my other two cars, spending the surplus money on better parts instead.

[Absurdist]

Slowest to 100 I grant you. But buy my car and your bottom will be very happy indeed!

Looks like I took a rather extreme route.

[HellBoyBG]

Well.. i'm surprised

[Chiwie]

TMR best at making econo-box.

[strop]

Lol my car is so rust proof. That, and the VTEC... Explains why my car is expensive and a little subpar in other areas. Oh man that VTEC was expensive...

Fairly easy to see who is running pushrods by looking at the maintenance costs

Hopefully my car will be decent, but I doubt my ecobox will be good enough for a review.

Hopefully the sporty trim will, and the race trim will be good enough for a podium.

I'm using dohc 16v. But choosing basic interior, helps to reduce maintenance costs also.

There are very different approaches in this category!

I wonder how the results will be!

[Packbat]

Basic components help reliability, too - the fancy stuff is more likely to break down.

(My reliability is terrible anyway because negative quality, tho.)

[Gooles]

Now I know for SURE the Turbo Eco was a bad idea.

Gee, didn't think it was THAT quick in comparison.

[strop]

A turbo eco in this day iant a bad idea. Back in the 90s, boy, that would have been unusual!

Because we were talking about fuel economy on the previous page [edit: where by previous I mean Page 12, apparently]: the joyously ludicrous Murina FC slushbox.

...I was actually pretty proud of this: near-optimal gearing to do 0-100 kph in second gear, near-optimal gearing to reach the aerodynamically-limited top speed in third gear, and cruising at 100 kph in top gear the engine is gently purring at 2230 RPM - just barely under peak economy RPMs. (Peak eco is 2500 RPM, which works out to 112 kph = 70 mph.)

Airbags are for squares anyway!

[NormanVauxhall]

Dat power curve... mmmhh...

[Packbat]

@NormanVauxhall: Very nice!

[Leonardo9613]

Sorry for the delay. I wish I had finished this earlier, but my creativity was sub-par on a few of the last days.

Anyway, here is the review, with full results in a chart in there. I exported to a PDF because I wanted to give a slightly different (read: worse), 1990s-esque formatting to it. I hope you enjoy!
Massive thanks to Lordred for helping me with the grammar errors.
