eh it has its place
indigo coral
ct200h?
civic girder
any other toyota hybrid is literally a prius with a different body, lmfao
vital glen
The other hybrids get the same milage or very slightly less for more room
Inside and in the trunk
fossil leaf
first was a 2002 Mountaineer Limited, 4.6L V8 w/AWD. Current is a beat to shit 2000 Ranger XLT 4x4 with the 4.0L V6, but that keeps committing suicide every chance it gets, so rn am borrowing my dad's F150, is an '02 with the 4.6L V8.
I doubt I can brag much about mpg tho
vital glen
@fossil leaf smiles per gallon > miles per gallon
civic girder
With the exception of the Highlander, the Prius is the only 5 door Toyota hybrid (unless the new Corolla hatch has a hybrid trim)
vital glen
@civic girder who cares, when you get more space in the Camry
The Prius has no place in the Toyota lineup
civic girder
I have, at most, 1 other passenger. There's plenty of space for two people up front. And I prefer hatches to sedans
fossil leaf
@vital glen yos. Is also why I need to find a way to yoink my dad's Mustang since he hasn't had the time to do much with it. Is an '88 Foxbody Convertible, GT 5.0
indigo coral
I like my RX though, even though it's slow, and I get shit for driving it all the time
fossil leaf
mmmmmm has full exhaust from the engine back IIRC, but he did the swap when I was younger. Sounds hella nice for sure.
civic girder
The prius was the only hatchback in Toyota's lineup will the new Corolla, so it definitely had its place
vital glen
But the Camry does everything better than a Prius for the same price
What's the point of a prius?
civic girder
The Camry is a sedan, the Prius is a hatchback
indigo coral
the prius makes a statement 😂
civic girder
literally two different markets and purposes
civic girder
I'd never buy a Camry, no matter how desperate I needed a car
Big boat sedans are not my style
indigo coral
I snagged my car for so cheap it would be hard to say no
vital glen
The Camry is better
civic girder
The Camry hybrid is the same car, different chassis
its not better at all
they're the same
vital glen
Yes, it has more space
civic girder
Do you constantly have more than 1 or 2 people in your car?
vital glen
Yes
civic girder
ok, then Camry better suites your needs
vital glen
I wouldn't buy one
civic girder
for me, Prius better suites my needs
indigo coral
this doesnt look half bad
indigo coral
though I'd still take the Stinger GT over it
vital glen
Other than I want the Prius
indigo coral
Stinger GT is damn near perfect imo
civic girder
bruh, I literally drive a Prius. The hatch is super nice
vital glen
Stupid Prius driver
fossil leaf
Hatchbacks are way better than sedans for sure
civic girder
One of my coworkers has a Stinger GT
fossil leaf
other than the WRX, that can be a sedan
civic girder
yea
indigo coral
The Stinger looks good, is reliable, it's fast, handles well, i love it
civic girder
bugeye sedan > bugeye hatch
fossil leaf
hatchbacks are the same size as sedans but you can fit more in the back and see out the back better on a lot of them, thus why I like them better
indigo coral
here comes some gearhead treachery (cant find the right word) : I don't like the WRX
I don't like the stigma associated
and frankly it's not that appealing to me
civic girder
Yea, the Stinger is legit
my coworker took me for a ride in his Stinger, it g r i p s hard
fossil leaf
and I like the older boyes, the '04s and older, I don't think there even was a hatch
indigo coral
but hey- to each their own
fossil leaf
the '99 boyes hella pretty
civic girder
yea
vital glen
@fossil leaf If you can guess what I drive, you get a 5 dollar steam gift card
indigo coral
@civic girder agree - my next car vey well could be a Stinger GT (used, of course)
My RX shows no signs of quitting yet, so I hope to get another 40-50k miles out of it
at least
if not more
civic girder
I like hatchbacks, wagons, retro coupes, and I'm extremely picky on anything else
I despise SUVs with a burning passion in the depths of my soul
fossil leaf
uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh @vital glen camry? that or a bugeye or IDK.
indigo coral
no complaints here
vital glen
@fossil leaf lmao no, I drive a h1
civic girder
I paid $0, for a car with 75k miles and only one previous owner (of whom I know quite well)
fossil leaf
H1?
vital glen
Hummer h1
vital glen
With the 6.5L Detroit diesel
civic girder
no wonder you hate the Prius, lmfao
indigo coral
I paid 150$ for a car with 117k miles, it's reliable and not actually bad at all
vital glen
@civic girder I hate the prius, but not hybrids
indigo coral
Very very nice to drive and comfortable
fossil leaf
H2s and H3s are just tonka trucks from what I've seen
fossil leaf
the H1 was basically a civvie HMMWV, right?
fossil leaf
nice wideboyes
fossil leaf
yee
vital glen
Same everything else
fossil leaf
does it have the same everything tucked in the cab?
vital glen
Yes
fossil leaf
oooooooo
civic girder
The Prius is just a hatchback. Now, if you're talking about the weird van/wagon/hatchback Prius, I agree, they are ugly as sin and should never have existed. The hatches are fine, I like mine, and hatchbacks certainly have their place, regardless of your opinion on them.
fossil leaf
so you get that nuts ground clearance from a vehicle that looks low
civic girder
I hope my uncle's jeep is actually running this time I visit
vital glen
It is 16inches
civic girder
I want to drive that son bitch
civic girder
Yea
indigo coral
for between 110 and 200k there's much better cars
civic girder
I would never want an i8
indigo coral
I personally like it, but wow is it ever overpriced
It handles well, sure, and its decently quick, sure, but a lightly used 458 or Huracan kicks it's ass into next week
vital glen
@fossil leaf https://youtu.be/CXvxIy4YupI
civic girder
I love the RX7, but I would never buy an FC. I don't really like their looks.
And I am going to buy an RX7 FB sometime in the next few years
vital glen
I haven't done this exactly, but I have done some dumb shit
civic girder
I love the FB. Looks so nice
vital glen
Have fun with rotary
indigo coral
^
fossil leaf
lol
civic girder
oh I know, it'll suck dick when (not if) it breaks
vital glen
I want to do that
indigo coral
I'd rather get an E60 M5, fix it's ticking time bomb problems, and drive that
vital glen
I want to scale a 6ft wall like that
civic girder
but that's also kinda the point. I'm fine with the work required, I like the sound of rotaries, and the FB looks sooooooo good
vital glen
I have just hopped right over a 3ft wall no problem
indigo coral
If my car takes a 💩 before I can afford a Stinger GT then I'll probably end up with a 2008 550i m-sport. 360hp, rear wheel drive, manual, and good looks
vital glen
From a standstill
fossil leaf
walls? you mean advanced speed bumps @vital glen
indigo coral
the V8 in the 550i is actually not even bad
dire fiber
waow
indigo coral
it's decently reliable
vital glen
@fossil leaf yes
indigo coral
(no toyota or lexus but its definitely not bad)
vital glen
@dire fiber Oh hi there
fossil leaf
I just want mustang with 5.0L V8 
civic girder
Eventually I want to put like a Fiesta ST engine in my Prius and make it manual
after I have a new daily and some cash to spend
civic girder
hell yea
indigo coral
for 7k thats a damn awesome car
civic girder
roll up to cars and coffee with a fast Prius that actually makes not lawn mower noises
fossil leaf
lol
indigo coral
there's a 550i Dinan Tuned thats similar to that one for 10k here
vital glen
v
civic girder
damn
vital glen
fossil leaf
if you get a proper exhaust the Fiesta ST engine does sound pretty nice
civic girder
I've seen that before, a Hellcat Prius would be lit
but the modifications required don't appeal to me
indigo coral
can you take off an exhaust w/o cutting things
indigo coral
Itd be hilarious to see what my RX sounds like sans exhaust but I don't want to break anything/cut things
indigo coral
I have to wonder how bad it'd be
civic girder
It can't be any worse than a straight piped modern Ford Fusion
indigo coral
I want to try it but I don't know if it'd break anything.... xD
civic girder
The factory exhaust is probably rusted out anyways, you might be better off cutting off and getting a replacement fitted
vital glen
@civic girder yeah, like a lawnmower
indigo coral
I don't think it's that bad, we don't live in an area with significant rust.
Very rare they salt roads or anything
civic girder
ah, see, I live in the rust belt
indigo coral
The car has lived here it's whole life.
When I recently replaced oil, I noticed very little rust
but I also wasn't looking
so
civic girder
inside the engine bay is pretty rare
civic girder
you only see it on really old cars that haven't been taken care of
indigo coral
I'm sure there's a little bit but I know it's not bad at all
Hard to have a 20y/o daily without any rust at all
tropic silo
I have 0 rust 😎
civic girder
aka, my friend's '89 Crown Vic. The entire exterior of the engine caked in rust
vital glen
most shit is now made out of aluminum, so no rust
tropic silo
Mines 14yo and aluminium @vital glen
civic girder
fancy
indigo coral
(burns a bit, old piston rings. Only when I really get the revs up high does it burn a bit, not even remotely a concern, just add a bit here and there)
no blue smoke or anything like that
civic girder
get new piston rings then
indigo coral
that's a lot of work
tropic silo
Always nice to burn up oil
civic girder
might even give you better mpg
tropic silo
Lol
indigo coral
It's a very very small amount
civic girder
rotary life
I'll have fun with that
tropic silo
Runaway diesels 😍
fossil leaf
the engine on my ranger has rust on it, actually can't fix it myself most of the time because stuff is rusted on an just strips, lol
whoever had it before my family treated it like absolute shit
vital glen
@tropic silo aluminum does not rust it corrodes, and that initial surface corrosion prevents corrosion. Fun fact
fossil leaf
civic girder
I mean, you could be my friend, who literally takes two things of oil in his trunk because his Crown Vic uses oil as a sacrifice to keep running
tropic silo
Also havent seen corrosion yet
indigo coral
wow
vital glen
Treated from factory then
indigo coral
nah I just check it every couple weeks. It's been better after a change as well.
fossil leaf
redlines happily, no wack stuff goes on, no weird smoke or noises at all
indigo coral
I'm scared shitless to redline my car lol
tropic silo
But then ago, my entire underside of the car is plastic. So i don't know whats hiding up there
indigo coral
I worry if I do, my transmission will be left down the road xD
fossil leaf
oof
tropic silo
Hahaha
civic girder
My car, when you actually decide to make use of that 110hp, exists solely at redline; because CVT
indigo coral
Particularly because something's not quite right rn
fossil leaf
this is smol truck so I assume the transmission will be fine
indigo coral
I need to do some looking into it to find out what exactly is the matter
fossil leaf
indigo coral
I thought I fixed it but I suppose I got the cause wrong
civic girder
One of my old coworkers dropped the transmission in his jeep like 4 or 5 times
fossil leaf
dropped it?
indigo coral
broke it
civic girder
it fell off
tropic silo
Rip
fossil leaf
oooooof
tropic silo
Just how?
fossil leaf
^
civic girder
it's an oooooooollllllllldddddddd Wrangler
fossil leaf
mine is auto so I can't miss-shift or something derpy
indigo coral
I still need to solve my noise problems from trans, I made it better but it's not completely gone
tropic silo
Can a misshift make it pop out?
vital glen
make what popout?
tropic silo
Trans
fossil leaf
tfw I still don't know how to drive stick cause the only manual my dad has is the aforementioned Mustang and he didn't wanna teach me on it
civic girder
At least its not one of my other coworkers, whose car we have nicknamed the "Danger Ranger"
vital glen
Depends
tropic silo
Wanna drive my car? @fossil leaf
indigo coral
Some guy told me that I should be embarrassed to drive my car
vital glen
you should
indigo coral
and I'm like bitch you drive a 91 Civic that you beat to shit, quit talking trash
tropic silo
No he shouldnt
vital glen
I don't why
indigo coral
lol
vital glen
you drive a lexus rx something right?
indigo coral
yeah 1999 rx300
fossil leaf
wot car is it @tropic silo
indigo coral
hes got an audi a2
tropic silo
An Audi A2
fossil leaf
oooooo
indigo coral
haha beat you
fossil leaf
ah is smol hatcback boi
indigo coral
my car is american-small but european-huge
tropic silo
fossil leaf
had to google, I only know the A4 and A8 and such
civic girder
It looks bigger than my car, god damn
civic girder
"compact" SUV
fossil leaf
lol
tropic silo
Fyi @fossil leaf my A2 has more space than a A4 from 2017
vital glen
@indigo coral amerismall euroge
civic girder
What I find dumb is that Kia classifies the Soul as an SUV
indigo coral
its a crossover
tropic silo
Wut
civic girder
its not even that
tropic silo
In uS?
vital glen
It is a cube
civic girder
its an awkwardly shaped hachback
indigo coral
do you classify the RX 300 (first gen) as a SUV or crossover?
civic girder
cube could be used
indigo coral
out of curiosity
civic girder
RX300 is SUV
tropic silo
I call it a truck 
vital glen
unless it is body on frame it is a crosssover
civic girder
I hate SUVs, they all u g l y
vital glen
it ain't a truck unless it is body on frame
indigo coral
it's a smol car
i parked next to a big lifted jeep and his door handles were near my roofracks
like wtf
how do oyu even get in a car that big
vital glen
lol
civic girder
I kinda want a Mazda B2200 in manual
indigo coral

vital glen
Easy
indigo coral
stepladder
tropic silo
A crane
vital glen
@civic girder is this ugly?
tropic silo
Elevator
vital glen
@indigo coral that is racist
tropic silo
It's not loaded for me
tropic silo
So I'll say yes
vital glen
I hate the rims on that example
indigo coral
looks fairly badass, but it's not good looking
fossil leaf
was gonna say, I'd go diff rims for sure
civic girder
@vital glen It looks good in its own way. I don't particularly like the look, but its not ugly
indigo coral
^
vital glen
it doesn't have ctis
tropic silo
I can drive under that car almost
fossil leaf
lol
vital glen
stock ground clearance on a h1 is 16inches
indigo coral
I wish Subaru/Toyota would put a V6 in the FRS/BRZ
vital glen
and not 200hp mess
indigo coral
yeah its veeery slow
vital glen
that goes 0-60 in 7 seconds
indigo coral
particularly because that power comes on so high
indigo coral
mustang ecoboost is cheaper, faster, has a ton more power, and the pwoer comes on sooner
though the brz handles better
civic girder
why the fuck would you put a V6 in a BRZ/86/FRS?
If they put anything other than a straight 4 it would have to be a straight 6
vital glen
it couldn't fit a straight 6
indigo coral
put a turbo, put whatever the fuck you want, it's just too damn slow for it's own good
civic girder
All the great Japanese retro sports cars have straight 6's
vital glen
it would have to be small i6
civic girder
you could still make more power than an i4
vital glen
but all the Japanese retro cars with an i6 are long
indigo coral
Thoughts on the new Supra?
fossil leaf
is the BRZ an i4? I thought it was a flat 4
vital glen
it is a whatever car
civic girder
ugly
vital glen
@fossil leaf it is a boxer
civic girder
But I never really like the looks of the Supra, not even the Mk4. Its good, but not my style, too round
vital glen
you know why it has a boxer instead of an i4 or a v6?
civic girder
Subaru
fossil leaf
because it's a subes?
stoic ledge
Lower center of gravity
indigo coral
I just realised today how similar the Supra and the Aston Martin Zagato Copue loks from the side
vital glen
@stoic ledge the engineers said to make more room inside while keeping the car small
not for anything else
that was the main goal
stoic ledge
indigo coral
I mean the Zagato looks way better
civic girder
I would call the new Supra more of a fastback than a coupe, but that's me
indigo coral
but the side profile is veery similar
vital glen
boxers are stupid compact
civic girder
^
fossil leaf
and eh, new supra doesn't look that good
civic girder
^
civic girder
New Supra has an ok ass, but an ugly face
indigo coral
the front is just an overstyled mess
fossil leaf
@vital glen that was my second reason, they're flat and would easily fit in the teeny BRZ, from pics I've seen it doesn't look to have much room
vital glen
@fossil leaf they designed the car around the engine
Like, in order to make the car small, they put in a boxer
fossil leaf
aha
civic girder
boxer engines are compact, can be lighter weight, and their size allows you to adjust the center of gravity for better handling
fossil leaf
vital glen
They wanted 2 extra seats in the back while retaining the smallness
stoic ledge
Same
fossil leaf
also, haven't looked too much into Supras, but the older ones look much nicer and cleaner:
vital glen
like, the main reason
civic girder
Funnily enough, a lot of Porsche's use 6cyl boxers
indigo coral
the mk4 is sexy
civic girder
they're similar
indigo coral
particularly the tail end
civic girder
again, similar
civic girder
W16, kek
indigo coral
I know someone who owns a Passat W8
vital glen
indigo coral
like why on earth would you buy a car with a W8
fossil leaf
@indigo coral yee, they're very nice, clean cars
vital glen
I think it has the length of an i3
indigo coral
a w8 sounds like hell to maintain
fossil leaf
instead of all this wack overbuilt stuff
indigo coral
yeah the mk4 is very simple
I don't adore the bone stock look, nor do I love the crazy heavily modded
some mods are nice to improve aesthetics though
fossil leaf
if you wanna go all super aero, have to do it right. The Ford GT did, it's a gorgeous car and has all the super aero shit
vital glen
indigo coral
yeah the ford GT is awesome
civic girder
Engine types I like:
I4
I5
I6
rotary
that's about it. DCOE carbs are bae, and I don't really care for turbos and supers.
civic girder
V8 is ok
vital glen
stupid commie
civic girder
but I just don't really prefer them
fossil leaf
they're very modern but also very clean, perfect balance of complicated and simple
civic girder
V twin is motorcycle engine, lmao

some cars used them

that'd be interesting to drive

I kinda want to drive a car with a 800hp i3

that'd be intersting

uhh...
indigo coral
the new GT is awesome
civic girder
yea, but doesn't look that good, imo
fossil leaf
F
vital glen
Speaking about i5's you know what american car used that as the base model? @civic girder
civic girder
I know Audi likes 'em
fossil leaf
I really like it, is gorgeous IMO, but as always looks are subjective. GT40 is a gorgeous car too though, very nice.
civic girder
don't know all their i5 models, but I know the S1 had one
civic girder
interesting
fossil leaf
civic girder
yeaaa
fossil leaf
civic girder
I've noticed that 95% of the cars I like are all 1999 or older
civic girder
exactly
fossil leaf
the 2008 GT isn't massively different from the GT40 though, it keeps a lot of the same lines. Has more seams though, it's not as smooth overall
civic girder
Original Skyline GTR, 240Z, and RX7 FB are the cars I think look the best
vital glen
because automakers had no regulations to follow
or very little
so they had more freedoms
civic girder
They're safer, but you can't make cars as pretty
civic girder
neither
civic girder
exactly
fossil leaf
tru, you can just not be an idiot and your chances of crashing in either are greatly reduced
vital glen
civic girder
If I like a car I'm not gonna crash it
only way it would get wrecked is someone else's fault
indigo coral
I legitimately saw a yugo
vital glen
Someone elses used bubblegum
civic girder
I suppose that could work
fossil leaf
tons of free gum
civic girder
no, public school desks
fossil leaf
aha

I think that's a render
fossil leaf
guy does it with Porsche's and such too, just to see how they'd look as rally type cars

Yea, has to be a render
civic girder
The R35 is u g l y
fossil leaf
the new GTRs?
indigo coral

fossil leaf
they're not the prettiest for sure
civic girder
off road actually makes it look slightly better
vital glen
@civic girder but the ugly duckling story is a story about becoming a swan
vital glen
you missed the moral of that story
fossil leaf
swans are just fancy geese
aka evil and undesirable
may or may not have had a run in with a goose when I was small enough to be smaller than said goose, and I don't remember much other than terror and an angry honking bird
civic girder
This is cancer
civic girder
But this is a real car
fossil leaf
aha
civic girder
Not the ugly fastback-thing, not the V6 R35 that tries too hard
the original, and the best
fossil leaf
is ver nice looking but also really different to the rest
civic girder
straight 6 with side draft carbs, no turbos
fossil leaf
shorter and boxier boye
civic girder
its from the late 60's
civic girder
yea, me too
fossil leaf
same with trucks, I like the older boxy ones more than the new ones
and ooooo OG Fiestas and Golfs
hella fine
fossil leaf
that actually looks pretty cool, ngl
civic girder
I'd want both
fossil leaf
were they actually made or is it just an artist's rendition?
civic girder
its a rendition

civic girder
I don't think its real

It's not quite the same, but its till sexy

civic girder
what kind of car should I make
vital glen
@civic girder no with a v5
vital glen
Automation?
civic girder
ye
vital glen
It's been early access for 4-5yrs or whatever
vital glen
2L v16
civic girder
I don't have the V16 dlc
fossil leaf
vital glen
Smallest v6 you can get to
civic girder
Yea, its a big rev race engine
tropic silo
I love automation
Just making really weird and extremely powerful engine capable of easily going 500kmh with the write tune
carmine summit
I don't have it lol
tropic silo
Since you can also export the cars you make in automation into BeamNG.Drive i do put alot of time in them both
@vital glen i could make a 2L V16
I got the DLC too
civic girder
Yea, I don't make horror story nightmare machines
If I make an ugly and shit car, I make it good ugly and just boring but very drivable
I have my own manufacturers and rivalries, lmao
civic girder
neither am I
tropic silo
So i often leave them blank but tune the wheels and suspension to perfection
Not that I'm good at it or anything
tropic silo
I just do whatever the game says is best
civic girder
laaaame
tropic silo
Yea no fixtures. Especially when I'm just looking what setup would be fun. After I've decided what type of body, suspension, engine and transmission I'll go with the fixtures
civic girder
I make something, test it, and then revise it later if need be
tropic silo
Ever made a 11L V16 AWD powered mustang?
civic girder
no
civic girder
I did make an 800hp turbo i3 hatchback
civic girder
yep
tropic silo
How didn't it blow up?
civic girder
quality sliders
tropic silo
Ahhh you use those too 
tropic silo
I made a minivan with a racing V8 once
civic girder
$80k for a minivan with 35mpg
Then I went and made a different minivan with 38mpg for $35k
tropic silo
Interesting
civic girder
the quality sliders dramatically increase cost, if you care about that
tropic silo
Yea. I never touch them
Only the one that changes the valve float alot. But only when completely necessary and when just making a insane engine
civic girder
I usually just use the cam profile to control valve float
and use short stroke
but that's only when I want big revs
tropic silo
Ever able to pull this off? White hot manifols at idle
tropic silo
Yea
I don't know the specs of the engine anymore tho
Only that i went from the biggest bore and stroke and turbo
civic girder
lol
So I hate the way the game complains about brake force
like, I'm just trying to get good brake specs in the sportiness tab
civic girder
yea
I'm trying to not have negative pad type on this race car, and the game is complaining about brake force being too high
vital glen
Compound
tropic silo
Yea, just find out by trail and error which is the best
vital glen
Trial*
civic girder
Now we're making that car's rival
which is gonna have a V8
lol, I just looked at stats from my '60s race car grid
The i4 car can keep up with V6 cars easily

That black car is like the one at the hot wheels event
civic girder
lol
fathom socket
But at the event, the front splitter was like a table

Pepega
civic girder
Well, I have a few manufacturer names I came up with for my cars
The color scheme makes me want to say it would be made by Pega, since the red reminds me of the Pega Ace
civic girder
I might change the body on the black car at some point
we'll see
the red car is officially named now as well
fast granite
Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry for disappearing. Had some stuff come up and had to leave. The car is for my GF to go to and from work. Trying to get something budget but dependable while being safe.. Don't want her to have to finance anything.

get an early MK4 TDI

Yo guys my Hyundai Tucson 2005 hit 450.000 miles lol
I was a kid when we got it at 6 miles at the dealership during 2005 and now I'm driving it
carmine summit
neat
civic girder
@shadow osprey the game is called Automation
civic girder
what have I created
I made a super efficient car that can beat sports cars, granted they are old sports cars, but still
a Turbo i3 that gets over 130mpg and has FWD, can beat RWD sports cars with big engines
flint sable
thonk
Take a zero off that
Skiakandhskslald 13 mpg akdjwlskdhalql
Fun
But 13 mpg
civic girder
I've made a sports variant of that car which now only gets 122mpg, but goes much faster and makes much more power
This body type is apparently very good for sports cars
civic girder
So that sport version of the FWD turbo i3 econo car
it's literally faster than most of my sports cars....
The only car that can set a faster time on this track is a hypercar
And the hypercar is only 10 seconds faster
But I also need to throw some of my faster cars on this track and see how they do. This track favors high cornering speed and straight-line speed

@indigo coral Gotta agree with you there, the wheels are awesome 😄
I have for some odd reason become a big fan of those two tone type of wheels (where the inner is dark, but outer is bright so to say)

My 810hp turbo i3 race car needs better brakes and much more downforce
you can't accelerate very well above 40% throttle because it makes too much power
The dumbed down variant (500hp, I think) is mostly driveable but needs more downforce, and it has the same brakes as the race version (so needs an overhaul)
My econo sports car is way faster and grippier than it should be, my god it is incredible to drive
quick and agile turn in that borderlines on oversteer (very easy to oversteer as well, because its super lightweight and makes a good bit of power). It makes enough power to accelerate pretty quickly and rival supercar top speed on the straights. It's just insane
It only makes around 200hp, iirc, and is FWD
It could probably use more downforce, but still
I'm not gonna tweak it, every car needs its quircks, and I can pull off 600hp turbo i5 w/ AWD times with it.

Here’s my Explorer for any JP fans here. Inside has a 19” screen in the center console, windows 10 computer looping a 22-min park tour video, custom sound system with programmed bluetooth micro controller to broadcast “Jurassic Park Tour Vehicle”. 2x 2kW subs going in soon to emulate the stomping of a TRex and rattle a permanently affixed water cup on the dash :P
tropic silo
Okay,but that is just fucking awesome
floral sluice
yup. pretty much just went through this reference sheet: http://www.jpmotorpool.com/reference/explorer/explorer_guide.html
it's got the vector files for printing decals, all the paint colour codes, accessory model numbers, etc.

i think you could make it "officiel replica" right?
I mean i think that's a thing
floral sluice
not sure tbh. haven't heard of any of the vehicles being official. Universal seems to be pretty relaxed on them though, as long as nobody exploits that kindness.
languid forge
anyone know of a good guide for removing engine mufflers on teslas?
tropic silo
@languid forge yes actually!
In order to remove the muffler from the engine you first have to bake the pizza for 8 minutes long on 220°C. While you wait for that to be done you need to check if the bread from 2002 is over its sell by date. When you are done with that, you will have around 5 more minutes to call the paramedics and roll over a random car on the street. Once the pizza is done, head over to the dollar store and buy something which isn't a dollar. Preferably a TV. You'll need it later.
So now you transform into a small can of soup and roll under the car. Locate the muffler and than stop the alarm clock from ringing. Once you did that go to the roof of the car and pretend you're superman while driving topspeed of the Tesla. This'll cause the muffler to break the sound barrier and leave the car.
