[Released] [Free] '93~'98 Arima Caelo / Arima Gaia

[torn matrix]

Most out of context thing I heard in Beamcord

[naive musk]

no

it was a joke

[naive musk]

oh buddy

ive said alot of bigger things

and seen alot fo bigger things

pause

[nocturne mantle]

bro? 😭

[tall summit]

/s implies sarcasm

[young wind]

I like the MK2 the most

[stray fossil]

They’re correct actually, the MK3 looks simply better, and is a lot less overrated

[tall summit]

Honestly I like the Mk3 for one reason

Easily parts-compatible with a bunch of sedans (Chaser, Comfort, Cresta and Mark II)

[marble tide]

Me personally I just prefer the styling of the A70 Supra over the A80, even of the latter is objectively the better car i would still choose the A70

[glass oasis]

The Celica Supra is underrated, too, in the same way the R31 Skyline is underrated.

[torn matrix]

Someone some where will come in this conv and say "JDM are overrated"

[glass oasis]

MXDM and EUDM are way underrated.
I don't think JDM is that overrated, but some people don't respect the opinions of others.

[marble tide]

jdm are overrated citroen 205 diesel gti is the best car😎😎😎

[violet cradle]

errrr jzx100 chaser raffino auto awd diesel likes to disagree

[lone peak]

Best jdm car is the dodge Michigan
It’s a Japanese compliant late 80s dodge K car

[glass oasis]

Does it exist?

[frail surge]

yes it does

[languid compass]

thats just a dodge aries

[frail surge]

It's just rebadged version only for Japanese market

This is way off-topic sorry about it

[glass oasis]

But why is it LHD?

[lone peak]

Because it’s cheaper to sell it as lhd than convert it to rhd

[glass oasis]

I can see why.

[glass oasis]

Inevitable.

[cursive fog]

Atleast it isn't BeamNG shorts

[stray fossil]

Good point, they make a TON of sexist jokes

[cursive fog]

Also racist , cringy , politic , homofobic and straight away stupid as hell

[marble tide]

LHD cars are actually completely legal to drive and be sold in Japan lol

so for a lot of import cars they just don't bother going to the effort for a RHD conversion

if anything having a LHD car in Japan is a bit of a status symbol, so a lot of people will opt for LHD versions of BMWs, Mercedes ect, despite RHV versions also being available

fun fact the Accord Coupe of this generation was actually built in the US, some of which were reverse imported back to Japan and sold as the Accord US Edition, featuring the LHD dash and all

[glass oasis]

Nice.

[stoic willow]

and some people actually loves US cars here lol even they import normal honda pilot, tacomas, and more

[lapis laurel]

"realistic" ah yeah happens to me every day

[violet cradle]

kljp pesima 👍👍👍👍👍

[dull nacelle]

Yep

Featured in KLJP

[dire nova]

Dunno, happened to a guy couple days ago not far from where I live

[viral socket]

The guy was driving a Japanese-imported hardtop sedan on an American desert and got hit by an European Volvo semi?

[dire nova]

Nah drunk driver in a mercedes just crashed into someone head on

[potent meteor]

did he die

[dire nova]

the drunk driver? Nope. The other guy? Yeah

[potent meteor]

damn

[worthy stag]

Is that an MPV

[final coral]

yea

[worthy stag]

different mod or..?

[formal briar]

This car Taiwan have to

Taiwan Version Zace Surf

[worthy stag]

Is that an Innova?

or a “Kijang”

[formal briar]

No we call surf

[worthy stag]

in Indonesia that’s called a “Kijang Kapsul”

Toyota Kijang Kapsul

[formal briar]

innova is other car

Innova in Taiwan is this car

[crude stump]

finally a new rival for the lansdale

[torn matrix]

Lol no. It's a way smaller car with normal doors

[worthy stag]

the lansdale is a minivan, the car in the poster is an MPV. Learn the difference

[glass oasis]

MPVs my beloved.

[mint widget]

Toyota Gaia! That's a super cool idea (although Arima already has another Gaia...lol).
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/トヨタ・ガイア

[lone peak]

Mpvs are like smaller minivans right?

[glass oasis]

Will there be an Ipsum/Picnic body style?

[torn matrix]

He most likely gonna named it something else

[glass oasis]

Oh, I see.

[torn matrix]

You know already lol.

[glass oasis]

Yeah.

[final coral]

yea lol

[final coral]

idk now, because Ipsum's shape is very different from the Gaia

so it's going to be very difficult

[glass oasis]

Okay, then.

[torn matrix]

Maybe do it as a fictional thing?

[glass oasis]

I am saying this because both cars share the same platform.

[final coral]

I want to try to recreate the real car if possible

[torn matrix]

I see

[final coral]

yea?

[torn matrix]

Quite smaller

[stoic willow]

i kinda wanna see like the modern arima like 2000s-2023s crowns

[formal briar]

I want to see arima Logo's Nissan Gloria

[faint yarrow]

Modern Arima you said?

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-boy-ainsley-harriott-smile-happy-gif-17686631

[royal plume]

I do. And I miss it.

We must bring that back

The good old times of showing off the Ghia badge at the back of your Ford

Or the small i for "injection"

[lone peak]

Or when disc brakes were a great feature

[royal plume]

They still are

[lone peak]

Or when people would brag about it

[royal plume]

But I think ya mean they were great to brag about

Exactly

Let's bring it back

You and I, man.

We will do it ourselves.

Selling fake badges on Ebay will do the trick

[tall summit]

Tamaraw FX Revo (🇵🇭)

[tall summit]

It's more a rival to a now-forgotten ride: the Ibishu Kashira.

[tepid meteor]

literally every single car ever now has abs so theres no point lol

[glass oasis]

Now all we need is an Arima-branded Avanza.

[tepid meteor]

especially with Japanese cars

[queen jacinth]

God damn…that ride height

[stray fossil]

There a thread for this yet?

[final coral]

not yet

[royal plume]

It's still nice. Imagine getting an Opel Astra GSi 1.6 Turbo ABS

Also, there's a weird space between the hood and the windshield

Meaning I can look into the inside of the hood when in first person

[cursive fog]

I see new Arima , i go excited

[fast mulch]

Do you have a name for the new Arima? And is it a mid-size minivan like the Kashira or a "full-size" like the Landsale?

[final coral]

Arima Hestia

smaller than lansdale

[fast mulch]

sounds like the spiritual replacement of the old Kashira

and a competitor in universe

[final coral]

I haven't compared it to Kashira but I think it's the same size

[fast mulch]

Is it a brand new platform or it shares stuff with the CS200 Arima?

[final coral]

new platform

[fast mulch]

sounds 'bout right. In universe it'd prolly be related to a more widespread mid-size Arima, because the CS200 sure can't be the main mid-size model

[final coral]

yea

[pine void]

why and how are you so god damn fast

[final coral]

gangnam speed

[pine void]

literally

announces new mod being made
40 seconds later it is finished with full pbr and amazing driving mechanics

you are a wizard

[final coral]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-gif-19282842

[viral socket]

Will this have cool VIP-style bodykits?

[final coral]

if i have a good bodykit idea

i will

[viral socket]

OEM aero pack looks cool

[final coral]

yes

oem aero pack is planned

[potent meteor]

Miniminivan!

Looks good docro! I cant wait for release

[granite cave]

Hooray!

[cursive fog]

Ambatakam

[shadow elk]

Ooooo a new arima to bash around in

[small sierra]

oppa gangam style

[stoic willow]

just for asking though, will you do american arima ? like avalon, sienna, tundra and such

and maybe one that’s both sold in us, eu and japan like supras

[final coral]

no, Arima cars(im making) mainly makes obscure Japanese domestic cars

[royal plume]

The hood sits really high on the Gaia and Caelo

I don't remember it having been like this

I can see the underside of the hood while in first person behind the wheel

Is this a problem on my end or do others "suffer" from it aswell?

[glass oasis]

How do i download
@final coral

[lone peak]

It’s on the repo

Search arima and it should be there

[queen jacinth]

Don’t ping the author for that

[stoic willow]

damn cool nice

[final coral]

its a modeling problem

[desert oracle]

Nice Arima Hestia 🙂

[young wind]

Definitely wont pull a boostedboiz on this :)

[tall summit]

K-swap it!

[young wind]

I dont have the mod so i cannot as of this current moment 😔

[tall summit]

Yeah, I'm hyped for it too

Docro has a server

[young wind]

True but i still do not have le car

[tall summit]

You can see how far it's come :)

[young wind]

Good point

[tall summit]

As of now, fully jbeamed interior

And a good chunk of the model's done

[young wind]

But i still physically cannot k swap it with my own modding powers

[royal plume]

Ah, I see. So it might be taken care of in the foreseeable future?

[final coral]

maybe

but im focusing on developing arima hestia now, so it might be delayed

[royal plume]

Sure thing

[bronze girder]

whens the van getting released

[young wind]

1. Go to the corret thread
2. When it releases

[final coral]

yo

nice

[tall summit]

I was debating to myself whether C570 was too high a PI

[lapis laurel]

those are cool

[charred bobcat]

holy crap

[shadow elk]

the class its in seems about right

but the pi seems too high

[prisma hamlet]

Common???

[tall summit]

Why wouldn't it be?

[torn matrix]

Lol.

Tho I'm pretty sure that grading thing is for power

[fringe finch]

no

most cars arent the highest sport trim

[cedar maple]

arim

[glass oasis]

marimba

[royal plume]

I know you're just as busy as before, but have you given some further thought into this?

[final coral]

i'm currently in the process of applying caelo/gaia's dynamic mirror and I'll pay attention to that as well

[royal plume]

Thanks. Appreciate it, man

[calm sequoia]

how straightforwards was the process? i know it definitely involves aiming the mirror, but does conversion mainly involve a material swap on the original mirrors?

[final coral]

nah, add new mirror jbeam

[calm sequoia]

huh

so you didn't need to adjust the model to put in the functionality?

if so i might just have to try this for myself

[final coral]

yeah

[final coral]

The range of both front doors is finally the same

[royal plume]

You're a machine, what else can I say? Well done, once again

[final coral]

dashboard lighting

with reworked air conditioner&radio texture

career mode cargo box support

trunk load cargo jbeam is not perfect because i can't understand how damn cargo box jbeam works

[torn matrix]

💀

[final coral]

VIN

[desert oracle]

Looks Nice

[glass oasis]

🤩

[unique quarry]

[pallid maple]

bc mine isnt working

[final coral]

[pallid maple]

[final coral]

[desert oracle]

I'm not really surprised, since this is the MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR in BeamNG Drive from the 90s

Also CONGRATULATIONS for 100K Downloading 🙂

[torn matrix]

Hm

[unique quarry]

just wondering, is it possible for me to yoink the taillight frame and remove it altogether by integrating it into the body?

[torn matrix]

I think just follow how the covet are done.

[unique quarry]

👍

[unique quarry]

done some work on the frame for the shocks to fit

it no longer protrudes which is good for a hatchback

[unique quarry]

W I D E

[unique quarry]

@torn matrix i gotta uncook too i think 😭

[torn matrix]

LOL YES

[unique quarry]

😳

[torn matrix]

Oh lord.

[unique quarry]

GEOMETRY

[unique quarry]

[torn matrix]

topology

[unique quarry]

Swagge dont even look dis is horrendous 😭

[unique quarry]

detopologised

time to edo an hour of work 😭

[final coral]

[unique quarry]

well in that case 137 more frames to go

[unique quarry]

sorry again for this, scuse my stupidity

[final coral]

nah it’s ok man

[warm silo]

damn a hatch would've been cool

[unique quarry]

[tall summit]

65 mor frames to go

[timber cave]

aosth (adventures of sonic the hedgehog)

[timber cave]

what the heck is an adventures of a sonic the hedgehog

[unique quarry]

tf you talking bout

[timber cave]

what is a bacon{i5-3470/hd2500[1660soontm]}

[unique quarry]

my nickname and what pc i have

my specs

[timber cave]

what is anything

[unique quarry]

@final coral my pc ded now

im not gonna finish it till i get a gpu qwq too much waiting

[paper oyster]

what even is this

[unique quarry]

gaia zooming around, ill add more foliage and a proper track

[hallow glacier]

Apologies if this has been asked, but are there plans to add aftermarket exhausts or better ECU support? The ECU included in the mod don't allow the blacktop (and I assume the silvertop as well) to rev out to peak power when modified, I've had to use an external ECU to let it rev out to what it needs to. As for the exhausts, having an aftermarket exhaust would just be nice for a mild OEM+ build

[grizzled shoal]

oh crap this aint the hestia thread

[unique quarry]

OwO

[final coral]

damn

[unique quarry]

it got halogens now x3

since the old bubl thingies didt look good

[unique quarry]

nearly done last test render (gotta fix some things)

[unique quarry]

wallpaper lol

[final coral]

so fire

[unique quarry]

also why does the Gaia not have any like ridges in the taillights?

like these of the 200bx

[unique quarry]

wait where are those what

[final coral]

glass texture

[unique quarry]

hmmm ok

[unique quarry]

which exact one has all the bumps

[final coral]

o.data

[unique quarry]

that just makes the glass entirely clear

[final coral]

then idk

[unique quarry]

:<

[unique quarry]

i just made it a glass texture lol

the normal map for some reasondoesnt do anmything but eh

I consider this done! @final coral

[final coral]

nice

[unique quarry]

failed at photorealism but eh

[unique quarry]

[whole ember]

[torn matrix]

??

[dull nacelle]

i am rapidly approaching your exact location

[prisma hamlet]

How would one make that

[unique quarry]

blender

[prisma hamlet]

Duh

[unique quarry]

[prisma hamlet]

What part of blender

[unique quarry]

whart

tfym

[prisma hamlet]

Bru

Like what did you do in blender

[unique quarry]

im not arsed to explain the process

[upper skiff]

He did some blendering

[queen jacinth]

Hello uh anyone else has a bug where the cargo boxes don't work in career mode?

[upper skiff]

thats a common issue with many mods

they changed something within the cargobox jbeam

[lusty thistle]

What’s this car based off?

[final coral]

toyota sprinter marino / toyota corolla ceres

[polar valley]

i wish i can modify the redline especially for the silver top/ black top

its a 4age damn it gimme 12000 rpm

[young wind]

Mod it yourself :trol:

[fair sandal]

open jbeam and edit it

[glass oasis]

Hello, i have an issue with the mod where the car acts as a prop rather than allowing it to be driven. Any advice on how to work it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[unique quarry]

@final coral

me wen mod issue

[final coral]

?? prop?

[royal plume]

I just wanted to ask real quick if this has been resolved?

or if it even will be in the future if not still because it's not in my game

And has the recent update broken the loadboxes?

[glass oasis]

Yes the car won't move at all

[past elk]

@final coral I believe the 1.6l silvertop and blacktop engines are missing ECU options. I can only select the Stock ecu for them

[final coral]

ig sibgeorge did not create an ecu option

[kindred bolt]

Is caelo/gaia based on toyota corolla ceres or something? because its shape reminds me of ceres👀

[final coral]

yes

[ruby grove]

When do they get updated?

[chilly sage]

when they get back from their mandatory military service

[ruby grove]

Wdym mandatory military service

[chilly sage]

docro lives where theres a mandatory military service for its citizens

i believe its 2 years and they have already served 1
