In Australia, given we don't have those GM truck engines, its about our only bet!

Shame you aren't in WA i'd let you record my tuned off it's ass car. Would also give me a legit excuse to buy some trumpets/ramtubes and get a retune to suit :P

Also for an I5 in this country, i'd reccomend the Ford Focus Turbo (XR5 is it?) that runs the volvo i5. There's likely to be more of them tuned than volvos down here.

I'll gladly let you record my heavily cammed I6 if you're in Melbourne.

burble burble brap brap pop pop <3

Quote from Luke.S :

for I5 engines a volvo is your best bet.

No it isn't... Volvo I5 is muffled as hell, Fiat Coupé or Old Audi 80,90,100,200 will give you what you need.

We are in Melbourne and will let you know when we are recording - what sort of i6 and with what done to it?

Quote from Daffyflyer :

Im assuming by "get the option to design from ground up." you mean design the rest of the car the same way you do an engine?

The car designer will be very similar to the engine designer, picking a chasis, adjusting the size, choosing engine & engine placment, gearbox, suspension, styling it etc.

v12 powered fiat 126 Ftw.

It's a 250 crossflow, as far as mods go everything from High comp pistons to 4 barrel carburetor.

Here are few sample videos

Also have a stock 4L v8 if you want some samples of that too

inbox me if you're interested

Sounds interesting, we'll give you a yell when we get to recording I6s and V8s

is there gonna be a beta invite again sometime?
or wont there be another beta before release?
just wanna ask, since i still wait for an invite!

There will probably be more testers required once we get the car designer ready to test.


There is nearly 300 beta applications so far though, so not everyone will get a chance I'm afraid!

Can we get a bit of a picking over other users because we are so kind? I'd really want to try this..

Preference will be given to active members of our community/forums who have interesting things to say about the game and how it should work

Not on the Automation forums much though I have have made a kind offering

My point is more that we tend to choose people who actually involve themselves in the community, and we think are likely to give lots of useful feedback - not just people who really want to play it.

So if people are keen to get accepted for the beta next time we need people, come join in the forums etc.

No need to say that twice for me, already posted my first comment yesterday

We've got the car body designer working pretty well now - check this out.

Looks nice, will this also affect handling/aerodynamics or anything like that?

well, you've just convinced me to give you my money when this comes out Certainly you deserve it

I have wanted a car designing system like this since I was a little kid, an I always wondered why someone didn't make it..

Yea, I'm really interested in the product too. Seems like most of the LFS-forum users are. Good show! Checking your site every week now.


PS : Daffy, you should have your website in your signiture, little things like that make a big difference.

WOW that video actually was pretty neat.

Here's a suggestion though...

LFS..

y u no have this??

As I said over on the forum, this looks very promising. keep it up!

A more awesome video of the car body designer.
