- Lift the rear part of the roof slightly
- Smoother shade between ducktail & corner body


Upload size: 2.46 MB (2,521 KB)

Just lil' ironing out:

- Moved upper front door gap more forward
- Smaller side rear window
- More curved bonnet surface
- More rounded rear spoiler surface (overall shape still the same)
- Headlights are shaped more trapezoid (but still rounded)
- Some smoothing group rearrange (less sharp edges, this adds tris on some areas)
- Bonnet & hatchdoor: smoother shade transition to quarter body panels (this also adds tris)
- Prepared few mappings for N/A version (absolutely no plan of release)
- Slight edit to wheel rim (fixed small tyre gap on 16" wheel specs, also adds tris)
- Also updated clocks, dash-backing, & logo texture for N/A version
- etc

Derivative download now enabled (PNG textures not provided, tho).

- Reverted gauge brightness (as it managed to get way too bright on certain monitor setups)
- Gauge 3D depth (no longer look too flat)
- Some textures update
- Misc update/fix/etc


Finally out of W.I.P. But skins now even more heavily compressed, still without overlay.

- thicker window trims
- minor interior, gauge & brake objects update
- lifted rear butt slightly {except ducktail)
- shaved number of material down to around 45
- renamed config names
- rearranged mesh layers
- changed config open roof 2 to Default 94 (basically Wingless 94 with wing)
- rearranged config selection: Default 94 <-> open roof 1
- visual variant on drive side changes using opposite alpha mapping workaround (both exterior & interior)
- LHD 1994 configs: corner marker; RHD Euro: front headlight washer
- removed/invisible front plate for config Default US & both LHD 1994 configs
- scraped front spoiler on 1994 configs (Default J & Euro still got ones)
- use /light ffog for front spoiler for now on (and it's visual *only*)
- also update plates
- other minor updates/changes
- etc


Skins still hardly compressed & don't have overlay because upload rate vs Cloudfare.

This is the final update for visual overhaul part 2


Upload size: 2.46 MB (2.521 KB)

- Made front bumper to look less darty (****this broke the skin mapping****)
- Slightly shorter LOD2
- Depth on front indicator and facelifted sidelight
- Tried to fix mesh topology on a couple of places (and probably broke some)
- Merged both closed roof and open roof mesh
- Thicker interior pillars
- Added rear keyhole on right tail light
- Updated interior door panels to more but not-that-closely resemble real reference car
- Added few details on dashboard (with few adjustment)
- etc


Default skins still don't have black overlay.



Upload size: 2.40 MB (2.466 KB)

- taller nose (on sides)
- taller wing
- narrower butt
- smaller headlights
- added more fat to the sides
- updated sidepod shape
- smooth transition between wheel arc and quarter body
- minor shapes & details on front bumper
- srunk down number of textures & combined size
- rear seat texture in half width
- etc.

**broke the skin mapping around wing and left side of butt, better update your skin & overlay



Quality degradation:
- skins still don't have overlays

Upload size: 2.470 KB (2.41 MB)

- Added abit of fat around the back of bonnet
- Mesh layer rearrangement
- Headlight texture & tris rearrangement
_ Slightly lifted side windows
- Slightly smoother butt and door vents
- Moved fuel cap lower
- Wider front vents (stock bumper)
- Lower front grille (both bumpers)
- Also updated front indicators on both bumpers
- New doorhandle model made out of circles
- Modelled wheel hub on spoke object (facelifted J-version)
- Pre-facelift wheel hub on additional hub objects
- Moved side mirrors slightly rearward
- Updated LOD2
- Renamed skins' suffix
- Texture update
- Changed colour of car on thumblnail
- Interior overhaul
- Misc....

Quality degradation due to upload rate issue:
- Jpg skins use 25% compression quality
- Excluded skins' overlay, generate them from Garage -> Colour -> Create Skin Template -> black and white skin texture
- Resized few 1024^2 textures to half-size




*** Mod sticks to updated physics from now on, unless new related features added. ***

Much thanks to users OpenClutch & martin18 for taking effort on the physics of Totoya Super MKIV mod!

- Tried to make the car to look fat
- Side vents rework
- Rear bumper rework
- Shorter front lip
- Semi-reflective trims
- Brighter tail lights
- Front side-markers/indicators borrowed from 8JFZ Nagata Spec (9BF145)
- Tail lights now correspond to visual config (switch between pre-facelift & facelifted)
- Head lights rework (also correspond to visual config)
- Undebody minimal detail (still silhouette)
- Some other changes/fixes I can't remember
- And yeah I broke the skin
- Update out of time-out error, just hope it will still work


### More or less experimental: Physics Change ###

- Basically using Totoya Super MKIV (76E5CB) with added front & rear wing adjustment (default angle values are: front=0. rear=3)
- Make sure to check your other setups so that angle values aren't the other way round
- Couple more BHP added to the engine combustion (now 328 HP max, still a couple less anyway)
- You probaly need to brake abit earlier due to lower frontal & side drags
- Top speed capable of 290 KPH (previously around 275 KPH just for speedometer readout before patch 0.7E)
- Engine sound partially adapted

Please give the mod for a spin and see if things good enough (lap time performance, setup compatibility, etc).

Physics reversion might be possible if I'm lucky enough with the internet.

-Reworked tail lights
-Changed front side marker/indicator colour to amber
-Adjusted body colour selections (still using brighter red)
-Updated SideGear'00 front bumper
-Side door shape more aligned to quater panels
-Also more flatened side door
-Minor change to Open Roof 2 config
-Also adjusted [Rallycross] intake restriction to 1%
-Moved front seats by 1.7cm outwards
-Moved interior lights more forward
-So that you can still have some lighting incase of lossing roof (if it actually works in-game anyway)
-some minor fixes/changes I can't remember


**Physics change is in the plan (basically using mod 76E5CB),
but not in this update (other than front seat position).**

There's currently 2 different instance of this mod in my disks (with current and updated physics)
so if there's anything sketchy on the update(s), please let me know.

-More update on bodywork
-Update on wheel spoke
-Using RB4 side mirrors
-Much shorter nose
-And yes I broke the skin mapping


-upload error for whatever reason (probably with duplicate log)

-Cabin bodywork overhaul (much wider back)
-Taller spoiler
-Wider bonnet
-Slimmer door handle
-Less bent-in doors
-Change on front bumper
-Change on dashboard size
-Change on default_J93 plates

More notes on 2048^2 skins

-Thicker cabin pillars
-Change on engine sound (with a help from user MiniVan)
-Working rear side lights (rear markers)
-More rounded rear lights
-All moving wheels stuffs now in spoke objects (wheel nut, blank inner wheel)
-Some minor changes/fixes I can't remember


There'll probably another wave of major visual updates (see notes on 2048^2 skins)

-Wider dashboard
-ABS warning sign is now in one single place (like Default J)
-Still with small FZ5 cockpit
-Change on rear spoiler (also a little taller)
-Should not break the skin as long as it's based on _Default
-Change on rims
-Whatever changes/fixes I can't remember

-Reverted rear shock absorber from misadjusment (was never touched till this update)
-Rear spoiler is now one single solid piece

Updates for LFS version 0.7E (requires atleast test-patch 0.7D58)


-updated rims

-updated lights & dash functionality
*-front & rear fog lights now working
*-also sidelight/low-beam/high-beam

-4 visual config additions:
*-"Default J": basically DEFAULT with 5-dial cluster
*-3 Open Roof configs
**-all of them are exactly named "Open Roof"
**-so that engine doesn't sound like when you have your roof and windows closed.

-extra feature: front active spoiler
*-available on configs: Wingless, Euro, Default J, Open Roof (2 & 3)
*-use /light extra on/off/toggle command to use
*-there's no working aerodynamic feature (yet)!

-some minor visual changes/fixes

-Speedo readout limited to 290 kph - 180 mph
-Depth on dashboard so that it doesn't cut your fingers off
-Even more narrow headlights
*-Old skins now even more broken
*-New skin also got broken, not that it's significantly noticeable anyway
*-Good thing now headlights are almost as wide as irl ref. instead of widerthanRB4
-Slightly thicker A-pillar for safety?

-Shorter front bumper
-Shorter LOD3
-Thicker quarter panels
-Skinnier rear wing
-Got rid of this thing off the sidewindow: https://www.lfs.net/attachment/520263
-Headlights + foglights textures changes: both now works on press 3 atm
-You probably gonna need to reload world texture too
-Also foglights now inside headlights for Euro & Wingless


Update your custom skin if you've got one.

-Just bigger door handle
-Indicator texture edit
-Texture "blakk" now as black as name
-Also slightly darker window
-Also slightly more rounded taillights

-some details in front & rear lights
-slightly less fat butt
-minor unrelated detail on side
-less angled rear wing (just visual, car drives same)

-Less width of front lights
-Less length of front bumper
-less cool-look of rear spoiler (smaller)
-little details on sides
-unusable front wing angle set to 0°
-material adjustments

Better regenerate your skin overlay.

- RAC main headlights (bigger)
- the other pairs stick with RB4
- little detail on butt

- more minor visual mending
- more detailed & out-of-placed doorhandle
- updated bonnet making it out of place too maybe
- slightly smaller tail lights, probably need to update your skin.

-Put frontlight units away from middle.
**this will cause skin artifact at the nose**
**anything from _Default with 1024^2 shouldn't be much problem**

-Put W.I.P flag

-Now, what else?

Another minor visual mend.

Just minor alteration:
- rear lights mesh
- side dashboard displays (no backing)
- lazy way to raise individual headlights sizes
- added another default_j skin

- minor change on body mesh & interior textures

-Hotfix: broken rear window by LOD2 adjustment
