Very nice one, also nice effort on the fuel gauge.

edit: just checked them, well better say try to since the rar is empty (20 bytes...woops)

Some news about the tiny white "p.o.s." we (bro & I, as we can't insure it alone both) own since a month.
It's 5 drs Clio RN 1.2 (E7F-monopoint inj.) from dec. 1993.

As stated earlier, the car slept 8 years in a garage due to previous owner's health issues, so it's unbelievably clean (almost brand new paint/plastics..etc), apart some rust spots under the (dead-) back seats area.
RT gauges cluster conversion done ("top class" model).
total cost for repairs & a few spare parts: 400 €
total mileage: 23400 kms (certified with papers/bills).
car cost: none...

Things goes wrong since the first beginning (and still does)... anyway 6 months later, it seems to be enough...(isn't?)... some outdated copy of this serie are still travelling somewhere between Quebec & Canada...
I hope you'll enjoy the 2 main patterns for GRB serie:

Impreza GRB stock (type 1) 1.0 RB4 (include imperials)

Download(Mediafire)

Impreza GRB stock (type 2) 1.0 RB4 (include imperials)

Download(Mediafire)

"Better (really) late than never..."

These are the only two I'm able to released yet as I'm getting mental while trying to search/pack through the huge mess I managed to create on the H.D.D.(s)...

Just throw my ct (1 is enuff isn't it?)...

@Dontsimon:
-Is this happening since the beginning (read do the wheel worked fine before)?
-Is the wheel properly calibrated?
-Are the axis bars showing normal behaviour (read not inverted)?

ps@Silver: then I misunderstood the problem... I never (ever) drove with kb anyway & almost never with autoclutch (except for the cars that don't leave choice).
But that's right, it has been here for "some" while, I remember when engine was always on unable to stall (dont ask what version it was back in the days anyway...)..

@Inouva: rear mudguards are mapped from the skin & front ones from "Carbon.dds" (which is also used for a bunch of other cars parts).

Sorry can't resist (but true):

3- Want movable windshield wipers? Better gives some to RB4 & RAC in 1st place.
8- Go to a crash server, you will change your mind...(ok, realism aside).

Sorry if it sounds too much biased, can't help myself.

@ Racer X :I guess that if you used to live in France, you would think different... (or do like most people would: don't give f...).
All in all, the small man you refer to is a living joke... a very bad one, indeed.

Engine won't last that long...believe me, I drive almost the same model for 10 years (car is 17 yrs old), valves would jump through the hood...

you know whats the Bmw E90/1 bulletin for valve tap?...

...You're certainly right, but I do not own a BMW, thx anyway .

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Thx for infos, I already been told about this.

Btw, is it true that putting some 2-stroke oil through the engine's top cover would help to lub' rods/valves faster?

@skstibi: intake's tubes need replacement (well known problem) & air filter has took it toll since while. No nest(s) anyway .

@e2mustang: not that I hate BM's, I'm more a (aircooled) rear-engine enthusiast anyway .

First it need fluids changes: oil & coolant.
But even with new oil, never start the engine at this stage (!!)
Lift the car front (since it's fwd) & put in 1st gear & turn a driven wheel reverse, the oil pump will send minimum oil amount where it's needed.
Have to change spark plugs, filters (fuel/oil).
The car has been towed to home about a week ago, with locked braked (on a rainy day)...it was awesome..

@Doyal: Thx for idea, but I prefer to keep the car running well...

Btw is it bad to try a steam cleaning?

Anyway, thx for trying to help.

ps:& I'll empty fuel tank

Proud new owner of a '93 Clio 1.2 (60 hp monster ), which did 23.000 km (legit) in 18 years & been left for the last 8 years in a garage, plus ex-owner was a granny, and the car was 1 Km away from home.
Main problem: the last engine run was 8 years ago.

Car's price: almost nothing.
Expected cost for repairs/parts: 500-600 €

I always though my first car may be a Käfer, I was wrong .

Just a brief note about how things go, I exceeded the user upload's limit on forum and working on a more viable alternative.
This means I couldn't upload any more for a small period, but at the end of the day the result should worth it.

edit:I have dropbox & mediafire accounts but I was thinking about something different, like a small website (with Drupal for ex.), or even a blog.
Until then I may use Mediafire.

@aero:Thx, but tbh, this set is obselete now, gonna need a small update to suit the other ones, expect a "carbon-brushed metal" variant & more boost gauges.

...and big no(!) updates to RB4 aswell. One of the 2 "wiper-blades-free" (with RAC) as a bunch of details...
Hope isn't bad (and certainly the main reason we are still here, posting useless posts in useless topics like this)...whining much or less won't changes how things go...
This said, I still have hopes...



ps:
@TVE: yea talking about RB4... I though about that goddam rallypack...or even LX8... but going further won't do any goods.

...Even if I don't know what you may have in mind, I cross my fingers (& toes ) that you could maybe give us some "improvements" to the existing .dll addon (better talk about re-do).
If not, consider this as a "soft" mayday.

Quote :

Happy Birthday Scawen & thanks for the little note about the tires.

I second that.

Quote from Kid222 :

[...] Christmas is always time of moaning & whining

Fixed.

This is 2d improvement pack.. (textures if you prefer).
Won't do nothing bad..

Quote from JJ72 :

High stakes has a very special place in my childhood memory,[...].

Had (& still the has) biggest addons/cars database compared to any other nfs titles...
NFS 5 (porsche's) was the last good "arction-simulcade"... to me.

Tdu gauges are awesome, but not always faithfully designed (the rx8 doesnt have analog speedo for ex.).
Now all you need is at least a fuel gauge ...or wait until I release mine

Anyway, here are RAC & FZ5 ones to help waiting for the others:
Both metrics & imperials (except turbo, ...too lazy).
