Right,

After at one point finding my self having fun more with this Bug Wagon than my 'new' UF, I decided do make a new car from scratch, within kei class.

It's 659cc turbocharged I4 engine powering all wheels with 63 horsepower and 74 Nm of torque (26 Nm less than real life, couldn't manage to get that much atm) and it (apparently) revs up to 9500 rpm. Car weights 740 kg.

Body work state is currently like something out of 1990 3D racing video game with overly detailed front and rear bumpers. Rims are temporary placeholder.

I was going to ask "Why 4WD?" but apparently that existed.
Will it be stock or maybe mild race version? Maybe not full cage, just bit cleared out interior etc.

Reality keeps trying to take me over, but there's some sort of progress still going on...

It's going to be stock. Or at least a bit close to Avanzato.

Looks very nice

Love this car man hyped to drive it once its finished

I love seeing the progress on this!

Some minor things like side mirrors



Some body gaps, and minor adjustments


Some sort of details underneath




And Cuore's front bumper ("AVZ EX" config.)

looking great man! cant wait to try this out, excited about the progress

Yeah, there's really not much happened. Mostly trying to figure out how car is supposed to drive and what I can and can't do so there was quite some digging into what this little box is all about, with my lack of skills to use Google/Youtube/whatever.

Driving it with steering wheel is the hardest part because mental problems - between past midnight and early morning is the only time I can really start driving with wheel.

And while car was pretty easy to drive with kbs (because it always was tested with keyboard until like couple of months ago), what I'm doing is to actually make it *worse* to drive. Still pretty much driveable for my poor fingers and, of course, my poor hands.

Anyway, suspension thing,


Car will have 32° maximum lock with 1080° wheel turn. Maybe I set the road setups abit too soft. Hard Track will be about twice as stiff.
Compromise has to be taken for sake of driveability (fixing broken FFB).

On the other hand, I tried abit of texturing (and more minor bodywork update)





I need to breathe.

Cheers

The finish on this car is off the chart ! great modeling!

Surely another great addition to the game

Yep, it's coming along very nicely, good job.

Amazing work with the model and textures. Looks almost like a real car.

Started interior modeling

Back seat (and I apparently can't make car authentique enough)

Progress on dashboard

Looking forward to this one. Thanks.

Is this based on the Nissan Micra?

Backseat is (mostly) fixed by... not moving the backseat. Instead I moved the passenger in the animation editor, so no handling changes.

Definitely not shrink-down Micra/March

nice!

Great work.

Thanks.

Tried to make things abit curved.

I mean... Honestly, keeping a long surface to look tidy is a pain in the editor.



Back passenger can now have abit more of confort.

This is sick, excellent work!

Damn man very very very pro engineer :3 I love it

Little dashboard progress
