[fallen steeple]

Turbo will be a fun deathtrap to throw around a track

[idle tapir]

It’s more or less a 930 , so I am going to eternally oversteer and understeer at the same time into a tree and die 👍 wonderful

[pine tusk]

It would be if it wasnt just a coffin waiting for its next victim

[fallen steeple]

It's twice as light as a 930 so it's even deadlier

[wanton pagoda]

A cute one

[fathom vapor]

Hey I mean atleast you have funeral costs covered and don’t have to pay for a coffin afterwards sooooo

[wanton pagoda]

you get buried with the remnants of your buggy

[fallen steeple]

Does the Manx even have seatbelts

[wanton pagoda]

[fallen steeple]

Apparently newer ones do

[wanton pagoda]

I wonder why

[idle tapir]

Nice.

But I think the tyre manufacturer name is too close to Firestone.

[wanton pagoda]

coming for the

[fathom vapor]

Hell yea

[wanton pagoda]

it's a beam brand therefore it's staying

[idle tapir]

Oh, I see.

[fallen steeple]

Nah we don't need seatbelts we die like real men 😎😎😎

[restive lodge]

spider derby livery called “the fiasco”

real

[wanton pagoda]

the suggestion was sarcastic

[wanton pagoda]

finally added coltris for the baja frame, body and bumper

[distant stratus]

Hey Bath! I Was Wondering If You Could Make Something Like The Vw Kubelwagon. It Would Be Very Cool.

[steel vine]

Ik you are not updating the base models rn
but watherer you did, do again when you gonna update them
they feel good do drive

[wanton pagoda]

all models have been massively overhauled handling-wise

they shouldn't be an oversteer deathtrap anymore, not that exaggerated atleast

[pine tusk]

gone from oversteer death trap to oversteer slow death trap

[wanton pagoda]

true

[steel vine]

hm

[wanton pagoda]

most quiet thread ever fr

anyways, I've been tuning the baja's bypass shocks so they aren't as bouncy as they were

There is one much more close to a manx, but even then it still doesn’t seem to be a manx

[wanton pagoda]

(attempt at) flake finish

[wanton pagoda]

still tuning them, they're much better since that screenshot was taken

might still improve

[winter ingot]

Who needs seatbelts when you got a METAL BAR

[wanton pagoda]

I haven't modeled them yet

[wanton pagoda]

I think it might be ready for the update

[dusky geode]

Ooh, looks so run down and crummy, I love it

[wanton pagoda]

turns out I almost forgot shifters for the dualsport , also added the sequential one

[timid sable]

racist seat

[wanton pagoda]

discard that, I've got a lot of bugs to fix

[fallen steeple]

Will the worn interior be an option for the regular buggies too?

[wanton pagoda]

there is no worn interior

that's the body

[urban falcon]

loooove that steering wheel

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[jolly valve]

sexy

[steel vine]

agree

[wanton pagoda]

been working on some jbeam stuff (namely adding triangles and qol improvements)

[idle tapir]

I hope that oversteer will be fixed, its really annoying and makes this thing really difficult to control

[lofty herald]

sounds more like a lack of driving skills to me

[wanton pagoda]

It will
For the moment make the front wheels toe out and rear toe in

[jolly valve]

the grand tour configs when?

[wanton pagoda]

Feel free to do it yourself

[jolly valve]

:(

Im to lazy

[wanton pagoda]

Tough luck ig

[dusky geode]

Hammond and May's Beach Buggies would be easy, but you would need to do an engine swap for Clarkson's Buggy

[wanton pagoda]

You're underestimating how hard making them all would be

Therefore I am not making them, I feel like I've made enough bodystyles

[wanton pagoda]

stuff

[timid sable]

stuff 🥵

[wanton pagoda]

updated!

[wanton pagoda]

screenshots (because discord's screenshot system is awful for editing and I screwed up)

[timid sable]

no configs 💀

[wanton pagoda]

enable custom configs

[timid sable]

okay , i disabled that by accident before and i enabled it again lol , sorry for that

[wanton pagoda]

all good

[timid sable]

imma go for the dualsport now

[wanton pagoda]

might require a cache cleaning because I've added and modified a lot of textures and materials

[timid sable]

well , so far i don't have any issues but that's gotta be helpful for others

[wanton pagoda]

good

[urban falcon]

my kofi is only showing the download link for the changelog, any help?

[wanton pagoda]

💀 no way kofi did me so dirty

[wanton pagoda]

check now

[idle tapir]

uwu

[urban falcon]

got it thanks! update is awesome

[idle tapir]

Love it

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[wanton pagoda]

btw
is it more drivable now for you?

[idle tapir]

it still bit oversteers but its skill issue i think lmao but yeah, its more drivable for sure

[wanton pagoda]

I mean it's light and it has a short wheelbase lmao

but 2+2 configs are a lot easier to drive

[idle tapir]

i just need to get good

[idle tapir]

its fun to drive ngl

[wanton pagoda]

tfw I haven't even driven the classic myself too much lmao

[wanton pagoda]

normal polish activities

[idle tapir]

real

[fallen steeple]

How much does this cost again

[wanton pagoda]

3+

(dollars)

[jolly valve]

omg new updat

[wanton pagoda]

yes

[dusky geode]

Lol

[wanton pagoda]

and I thought the stock tuning was soft

lmao

[wanton pagoda]

so...
I've just made a patreon https://www.patreon.com/TheTalkingBath (it's completely optional if you want to buy it)

[jolly valve]

gud updat me liek

[wanton pagoda]

real

[wanton pagoda]

added the missing radfans and fixed wonky uv mapping on the dualsport turbo filter

[wanton pagoda]

fixed tierods having mismatched materials

[wanton pagoda]

added drum brakes to the normal buggy, fixed rear missing shocks and fixed front suspension's origin position previously causing the wheels and brakes to be missplaced

[hexed jasper]

Nice

[wanton pagoda]

added remodeled exhausts to the normal buggy

at this point I'll just transfer most of mechanicals from 2+2 to the normal one lol

[wanton pagoda]

I love torturing myself each time I touch a different version of this mod refreshes yay

[fallen steeple]

Will there be flags like the Aurata?

[wanton pagoda]

there are already

you can put a flag on the normal buggies if you equip the cradle

...wait you haven't bought the mod right

[fallen steeple]

Not yet

I plan to though

[wanton pagoda]

I see

[wanton pagoda]

@steel vine you might like this btw

[idle tapir]

i like this

[wanton pagoda]

so far

[wanton pagoda]

adjusted and flattened the rear

[rustic aurora]

Looks very nice!

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[unkempt lark]

one thing I dont know why

[wanton pagoda]

hm?

[jolly valve]

I love abusing the bath looking kar

[wanton pagoda]

fiberglass hardtop and pseudo-rollcage

[wanton pagoda]

adapted the 2+2 front suspension to the normal buggy

[hexed jasper]

can i slam the buggy and out 44" tires in it?

[wanton pagoda]

44s won't fit

[steel vine]

I sure do

[oak hazel]

add cut fenders for 44s

[wanton pagoda]

done

[wanton pagoda]

some more stuff

[wanton pagoda]

a lot more stuff (I might have gone insane once again)
all the bars are separate

[hexed jasper]

Not with that attitude!

[wanton pagoda]

solidified the sidepods

[supple hazel]

looking very angular

sarp

[steel vine]

If someone hit that it would hurt

[wanton pagoda]

too bad that's going underneath the body

plus literally all cars' panel gaps and the likes aren't beveled lol

[steel vine]

https://tenor.com/view/mengsedih-gif-23325538

[steel vine]

Ik

Btw the mod is looking great so far

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[wanton pagoda]

plate indent (also a few edits for the hood)

[sudden breach]

nice

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[steel vine]

Prob already knew about that but since im not sure
Btw so far the new update is pretty great

[wanton pagoda]

hm

[echo glen]

oooh reminds me of some other beach buggy

cant think of what though

[wanton pagoda]

fixed 15x9 all season tires being missplaced and badly scaled

[rugged siren]

man i checked and it was 10.63R$

[steel vine]

hm

[steel vine]

You sure? On gumroad?

[rugged siren]

let me check again

dolar in brazil is 5R$ So its 7,70R$

[steel vine]

still better than R$14

half the price

[idle tapir]

i got a discount too

but still 2 cents more 😭

[lean harbor]

i got discount from 60%

prob gonna buy it soon

[fathom vapor]

I can’t wait for this mod

Cuz buggy’s are just awesome

Especially ones like this uh, 1967 Baja 1000 Manx, tbh I might try to make this when the mod comes out

[wanton pagoda]

I would rather not get an image of a new buggy everytime you entet this thread

but yes buggies are cool

[fathom vapor]

oh I was just sayin I was gonna probably try and make it if I can, wasn’t suggesting it

Didn’t mean to upset ya

[wanton pagoda]

I'm not upset

[glossy void]

looks like there's some dev updates I've been missing out on lol, looks like you're making good progress :)

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

I'm more active here, yeah

[glossy void]

changed your mind about the smaller roll bar lights?

[wanton pagoda]

might aswell just keep them

and resize them for them not to look as bad since I don't really like them the way they are now

[glossy void]

i just feel like the trophy truck lights are a little much with a surf board lol

[wanton pagoda]

tbf the surfboard is just tiny

[glossy void]

still a lot going on is all

also fun fact apparently my bush buggy used to have roll bar lights (bc it has wires that lead up there from a switch on the "dash")

[wanton pagoda]

surfboards are a lot longer irl

[wanton pagoda]

bush buggy?

[glossy void]

that looks sick are you planning on adding dual boards?

[wanton pagoda]

there are 3 boards there but might also do

also you might want to join my discord server, invite should be in whatever platform you bought the buggy from

[glossy void]

I might have a photo of it if I'm allowed to show you in this thread (bought it for the 1800)

[glossy void]

I'll have a look

[wanton pagoda]

since that's where the updates will go at

[wanton pagoda]

what platform did you get it at btw?

[glossy void]

kofi

[wanton pagoda]

alright

[glossy void]

got it 8 months ago

[wanton pagoda]

so right when it was first released?

[glossy void]

probably yes

i am a volkswagen nerd

among other things

[wanton pagoda]

some updates
fixed the front suspension breaking over bumps and jumps, due to a small z axis offset
tweaked proportions once again (I may or not tweak them even further)

fixed the pulleys positions

[restive lodge]

looks good

[random ivy]

belt is clipping

[hexed jasper]

pretty sure thats obvious lol

[wanton pagoda]

I've tamed oversteer even more

[wanton pagoda]

seems like it does funny stuff now though

[pine tusk]

bath somehow simultaneously reducing and worsening the oversteer problem

[wanton pagoda]

😭

[fathom vapor]

How do you manage to lessen and worsen it 😭

[wanton pagoda]

it's called fixing the rear suspension but then the front one having a considerable amount of bumpsteer

[random ivy]

maybe its not an oversteer issue and the issue is that you are going over 140kmh on a can of cocacola made of fiberglass

[wanton pagoda]

yeah but it used to steer by itself

barely any steering input and it essentially drove the corner by itself

anyways I fixed it now

||any crash and it's the customer's issue :trol:||

[idle tapir]

Imagine - snap oversteer.

[wanton pagoda]

hardtop roll bar

[lofty herald]

cool

[wanton pagoda]

will look less funny with the hardtop on

[lofty herald]

no

im taking the roof off

[wanton pagoda]

😭

[wanton pagoda]

looks cool

time to make the triggers

[wanton pagoda]

that was easier than I expected

[idle tapir]

Good work.

[steel vine]

Bath, can we have an front photo of the stock buggy?

(without headlights on)

[steel vine]

lol

i mean without the headlights turned on, not without them

[wanton pagoda]

brum

alright

[echo glen]

it looks scared lol

[steel vine]

fr

[wanton pagoda]

that's bulbs for you

[echo glen]

mf is terrified x3

[steel vine]

That look that felt like something was off is gone i think

Or i just got used to it

[wanton pagoda]

well most of the body was reworked so

really different to the release version

[steel vine]

im not sure but if the headlights were just a bit further down it would look less terrified (i say that using an vw buggy as reference)

[wanton pagoda]

can't go lower

[steel vine]

oh lol

Still great looking so far

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[restive lodge]

Maybe an option with lights further forward

[wanton pagoda]

I would have to make a new body for that

[idle tapir]

uhm sorry sir i want a refund cuz i bought early acess and my autobello buggy looks different than this one 🤓

[wanton pagoda]

uh

ok

[random ivy]

unfuny

[idle tapir]

maybe i should put more effort next time, sorry

[restive lodge]

how so

you could change the stalk to something like this, unless that’s simply not possible

[fallen steeple]

How to reduce the (Already tight) space of a Manx

[wanton pagoda]

that is part from the body

[blazing jacinth]

Hold on, was the mod updated?
I'm still on 0.3.1
Crap, I need to update it if so.

[wanton pagoda]

yes

[blazing jacinth]

Well, can't wait to see all the stuff I've been missing out on!

[wanton pagoda]

clear cache

[blazing jacinth]

Oh yeah right

I do Standard right?

[wanton pagoda]

yes

[blazing jacinth]

Thanks mate

[blazing jacinth]

Wait- Did I need to put the 0.4 folder into the mods folder before I cleared cache?
And did I also have to remove the previous version before doing that?

[wanton pagoda]

yes

[blazing jacinth]

Ah.
Okay.
I'm dumb. 😐

[steel vine]

How are you able to understand that

[wanton pagoda]

uh

yes

[bleak forge]

Looking cool bro

[wanton pagoda]

customizable rollbar ingame

[steel vine]

Nice

still gonna die if i flip it though

[wanton pagoda]

yes

it's definitely not average rollcage strong

[fallen steeple]

Rollcage is just there to please safety inspections lol

[wanton pagoda]

this thing as a whole is unsafe lmao

it's a fiberglass body afterall

[bleak forge]

Small and cute

Will there be options for spotlights on them?

[wanton pagoda]

perhaps

[dusky geode]

Are there any engines swaps for the Buggy, I forgor if there were

[wanton pagoda]

nope

[dusky geode]

Huh, coulda swore there was a non autobello engine, but I guess not

[wanton pagoda]

for the dualsport/baja yeah there is but that's it

[fallen steeple]

@wanton pagoda Hey man, i bought the mod although I don't know where the file is, as Gumroad doesn't show anything

[wanton pagoda]

it should show an invite for the discord server

which is where the download is at

[fallen steeple]

Oh alright

Thabks

Thankd

Thankd

Fuck it

[wanton pagoda]

[lofty herald]

who you guys betting for

[wanton pagoda]

tires so big you may aswell float with it kekw

[fallen steeple]

I like tires big

And in the buggy's case they have proven to be very useful

I just had an idea

Pontoons for the buggy

[wanton pagoda]

😭

[fallen steeple]

I underestimated its 95hp

[wanton pagoda]

engine temperature:

surprisingly enough the swing axle is doing quite well there

[fallen steeple]

I'm using rally suspension

Now it's been upgraded to a steady 130hp and it climbs much better without heating up that quickly

[wanton pagoda]

2+2 turn signals

[fallen steeple]

[craggy mauve]

they wanted the body so much they didnt care about leaving the axles behind

[craggy mauve]

Piccolina: who are you? Buggy: I am you, but a beach bum

[idle tapir]

I wonder if this will have red turning lights as an option.

[placid wagon]

how do you get the 200nx working?

and the wbimp pessima

[wanton pagoda]

do you not see they are there in my pics above?

[idle tapir]

Oh, yes. My bad.

[fallen steeple]

Swim in the Pacific while screaming "Hail Kueso"

[wanton pagoda]

I even forgot this thread was a thing
anyways
hopefully I get back to do more progress again

(image above is something I'm cooking rn)

[glossy void]

i love it when you cook lol

[wanton pagoda]

thank you
hinges will be a pain for this

[glossy void]

hinges you say?

[wanton pagoda]

hinges

[glossy void]

so it's like a trunk/boot?

[wanton pagoda]

would say so

since it also has a divider

and the battery is also inside

[glossy void]

an interesting addition indeed

[wanton pagoda]

yep

[glossy void]

any other little updates and additions?

[wanton pagoda]

I've just began doing progress again so nope

[glossy void]

fair enough

looking forward to what you add next :)

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

[wanton pagoda]

eh
ignore solidify going crazy down there

better view and added a few bolts

wait they wouldn't even work with the actual geometry lmao

[glossy void]

part of the hinges?

[wanton pagoda]

those are the hinges

I think I'm gonna ditch the hinges and make it with gas struts

I can't figure out the geometry

better

[glossy void]

better lol

[idle tapir]

So detailed.

[wanton pagoda]

ingame now
opening doesn't work however, will fix later or tomorrow

[wanton pagoda]

currently unwrapping parts for texturing

[idle tapir]

Does this mod have or is going to have electric motors, I’m only asking cause I saw the new Manx Meyers is going to make?

[wanton pagoda]

nope

that is an entirely different thing

they don't share chassis

[idle tapir]

Ok just wondering, thanks

[wanton pagoda]

(unfinished) main textures ingame

[rare bluff]

interesting tire texture

[rare bluff]

is that tread in the base game?

[wanton pagoda]

yeah, they're all season tires edited to fit the buggy

I also edited sport+ 2rs to fit

[bleak forge]

Hey there, what engines shall this have?

[wanton pagoda]

aircooled F4 for now

baja/dualsport get the water cooled ones

[bleak forge]

That's cool

Any engine visual customization?

[wanton pagoda]

just a few more exhausts

[wanton pagoda]

I don't bake

[echo glen]

[idle tapir]

And we get served! 😄

[wanton pagoda]

finally got enough motivation to begin the interior

[steel vine]

any plans for an classic gauge instead of the sports one?

[wanton pagoda]

added mirrors to the dualsport (how the hell did I forgot about them?) and also added the new mirror system for all the mirrors available

[steel vine]

Looking great

[rare bluff]

[fading zodiac]

I would like bath working on this tho

it is a very interesting mod

[whole cradle]

People have lives and stuff, these mods are often passion projects and aren't as pressing as keeping a roof over their head. Sometimes you get home from work or class and you're just burnt out from life, so you just don't work on this sort of stuff. It'll be done when it's done, have some patience

[dusky geode]

You could've said it in a nicer way tho, cause the way you said it didn't sound very nice

[dusky geode]

At least to me it didn't sound nice

[fading zodiac]

[rugged siren]

https://tenor.com/view/noah-centineo-chef-kiss-delicious-yumm-yummy-gif-19753149

[wanton pagoda]

I've just fixed the conflicting rear tires issue

[idle tapir]

Nice.

[round tinsel]

[wanton pagoda]

key

also added some detail to the main gauge

[glossy void]

Lookin snazzy

[wanton pagoda]

[glossy void]

It’d be kinda cool if the key was like the beetle one where it had the vw logo in it but in this case it’d be the autobello logo

[wanton pagoda]

if the UV unwrap allows me to do that sure

[glossy void]

Something along the lines of this

[wanton pagoda]

oh uh

I thought it was just the vw logo engraved

[glossy void]

Some may have come like that no pressure it’s your mod

I just like those keys it’s what I want when I finally get some money for my beetle

[wanton pagoda]

trying something

[glossy void]

Surfboard nice

[wanton pagoda]

*surf racks not attached to the rollbars yet

looks pretty epic

[wanton pagoda]

really love how this config turned out

[rare bluff]

looks sick, but how does it look on T/A tires?

[wanton pagoda]

good question

[glossy void]

it looks sick that's how it looks

[rare bluff]

fuck yeah

[rare bluff]

sex spec right there fr

[wanton pagoda]

true

[rugged siren]

sheeesh

[somber wadi]

olala

[wanton pagoda]

surfboards ingame

[idle tapir]

😮

[solid mural]

can you add a mad max config?

[wanton pagoda]

there will be no more bodies

[glossy void]

nice key B)

[wanton pagoda]

finally got info files for configs

which means you won't need to enable custom .pc configs anymore

(some thumbnails aren't accurate rn btw)

[wanton pagoda]

holy shit I just got the backlid working yesss

[rugged siren]

brazilian "bugre" cosplay

[wanton pagoda]

[rugged siren]

this thing

[wanton pagoda]

bruh

felt like modeling another rim

looks super slick

[round tinsel]

you could say it's

wheely cool

I'm sorry

[wanton pagoda]

[fallen steeple]

Lowrider when

Jk

[rare bluff]

hold on, you might be onto something

[wanton pagoda]

textured and ingame
though for some unknown circumstances the badge normal won't export

[glossy void]

ah damn the badge looks sick

[ruby marsh]

Career support?

[wanton pagoda]

I don't play career

[ruby marsh]

ok?

This is still an awesome car that would be cool to buy as a bone stock and slowly upgrade in career

[fallen steeple]

Career gets resetted anyways

[ruby marsh]

So?

[fallen steeple]

It's not worth it for now

[glossy void]

As long as there are info files career compatibility is easy

Besides parts prices I guess lol

Idk how to do those

[fallen steeple]

I think career part prices are randomized

[glossy void]

I’ve see that you can set prices but if you don’t then idk what it does I’ve sold transmissions for 350k

But yeah all you really need is a population stat and a value stat

[wanton pagoda]

tfw all buggy configs are set to 1 of population because none of them are mass-production variants

[glossy void]

that's fair

[rare bluff]

each part has a specific value

in the jbeam

[wanton pagoda]

fixed the missing normals for the logo

[echo glen]

game calculates it over though

like the pigeon is valued at 12000 in the info files

but the game considers the age and population

and also applies same way to jbeam bits

[rare bluff]

thats right

you have to set the value to the inflation adjusted price

thats why the CrossSport is so cheap in career

[wanton pagoda]

steering stuff

[wanton pagoda]

stalk and interior mirror

[wanton pagoda]

cup because why not

[wanton pagoda]

@wanton pagoda you have plains to rebadge this car to AW?

Mayers Mirage

[rugged siren]

or just "Max Mirage"

[ivory shoal]

Nice

I saw one of these in a Walmart parking lot yesterday

[cloud dagger]

remaking the 456's tire textures once and for all

[glossy void]

nice B)

[wanton pagoda]

[glossy void]

that's real af

[indigo blaze]

the yellow stripe tires go so hard

At this point it's hardly a beach buggy Piccolina and more of its own vehicle lol

incredible amount of detail

[wanton pagoda]

thank you

will post the rear tire remake soon

[tawny prism]

uh huh

jokes aside it is really cool to see how many times you've managed to improve parts of this car

[wanton pagoda]

but at the same time it's really killing me on the inside

[tawny prism]

i guess i sort of get that

but i'd rather see a perfected version of this, than a rushed one

seems like it could be very satisfying to look back on such a project and see how much progress you've made as a modder :)

[wanton pagoda]

oh yeah the amount of progress is pretty insane

one of the first screenshots that are related to this mod

and all began because

did you end up fixing the issue though?

[desert stream]

yeah

[wanton pagoda]

[desert stream]

I was clearing the cache as I sent that

[wanton pagoda]

otherwise it would've been another thing to do
-# atleast a fix wouldn't have been that annoying given the file size reduction, which I'm quite proud of

Ive never seen a more fucked torque graph holy shit 😭💀

[glossy raven]

This going on repo

[indigo blaze]

I smell a release approaching

[wanton pagoda]

the release is already done

[restive lodge]

I forgot about this

[glossy raven]

When?

[wanton pagoda]

see the patreon post

[indigo blaze]

I'm so not used to a free patreon being a thing

interesting way of doing it but cool lol

[wanton pagoda]

I've released another free mod before on patreon

[indigo blaze]

the google drive link has Gay in it

perfect

[stable shale]

Bro I forgor entirely about this and I remember yapping about how I was looking forward to driving this goober, you already know I’m slamming down the left click on that link

[tawny pendant]

soon it will be the windsor

[clever pasture]

wooooo beach buggy

free beach buggy

[indigo blaze]

the 456k's parking brake doesn't want to disengage at all lmao

[wanton pagoda]

it has 2 handbrakes

see the keybinds

[indigo blaze]

I tried them

Only the left side disables

[clever pasture]

what the FUCK is this exhaust setup

[indigo blaze]

one of them

[wanton pagoda]

try harder

like genuinely

the code has been the same for nearly 3 years, it has always worked as intended

[indigo blaze]

weird

I might check if any keybinds are conflicting

[indigo blaze]

peak

[craggy mauve]

Hmm what would be a good swap?

[indigo blaze]

Clarkson build

throw a Rover V8 into it

[glossy raven]

yes we need v8

[wanton pagoda]

good luck fitting a v8

[indigo blaze]

It's not impossible

[wanton pagoda]

but that's the real car

not my mod

I am aware the v8 swap is a real thing, it's not like I've heard the same suggestion all over and over throughout the years

[clever pasture]

i definitely dont see how that could fuck up the weight distribution even more

old 911 drivers fear that

[craggy mauve]

might as well install the small gavril V8

[craggy mauve]

oh that is a rover v8

[sharp basalt]

Why is this not on the repo? Is it not in a state to be on there?

[half fulcrum]

Seeing as you have the mod public now someone may make that a mod for it. If you are alright with others making mods for this

Really I would love to see a flat 6 made for it if someone does that.

[tawny pendant]

How long did just the body take to make

[wanton pagoda]

idk

I made like 6 body meshes

[tawny pendant]

Also forget what i said yesterday

Im sry

[craggy mauve]

V8 swap. As if it wasnt nearly uncontrollable as is

For the thing to work it needs a better rear suspension

[wanton pagoda]

no

[craggy mauve]

I dont wanta v8 swap, but people keep screaming at it

[trail thicket]

is it just me or do the parking brakes not work?

[placid wagon]

you have to engage both handbrakes

[trail thicket]

even then they don't work
