I was inspired by Jake "Drift Squid" Jone's Nissan S13 SONVIA.

Silvia with a 180sx front bumper and LED headlights.

Modeled the custom aero kit myself the way I'm building mine in the near future!

Engine is a KA24DE+T out of the 240sx since I'v built a couple turbo ones and it beats SR20's all day, but it's only my personal preference.

Focused on having fun sideways and might even be good for comps.

testing geometry editing

That's awesome! Any updates on this? Would love to model some things outside the editor.

Cheers!

Default starts in a window. Changed it in the cfg file back and forth and no success.

Unzipped it correctly. The cso files are in the correct folder.

deb.log attached!

PS. Did another clean install and it worked fine. No clue on what was the issue but it worked now. Thanks for the attention!

Reporting this again as it might be a bug?

For some reason I still can't update the editor. Black screen using the given LFS Editor.exe.

Old 7c editor exe works fine even with the updated 7d20 data and bin files but the start screen still says 7c and I don't have the new features described.

Also just tried with a fresh LFS Editor install and had the same outcome.

No anti-virus blocking the app, won't change the outcome when ran as administrator. Win10 here.

Cheers!

Hey, just tried updating from 7c.

The new LFS_EDITOR.exe file won't work. Opens up a black screen.

Had to use the 7c LFS_EDITOR.exe. Everything seems fine and it says 7c on the bottom of the entry screen even with the 7d19 data files and bin folder.

Win10 here.

Cheers!

So, just here to update on this little project.

Been away from LFS for a while due to a broken PC.

Just got it back up and running and currently building a better gamer setup.

Plus I'v been very busy finishing the 328 Sedan, painting it and all. The widebody is near its finishing stages, just a matter of routing the molds and laying fiber!

Here a couple of shots of my 328 Sedan and also my ProComp Coupe E36.

The comp car is getting a M50NV without the tilt, custom ITB and plenum and custom twin scroll exhaust manifold, twin plate clutch, 350z trans and all the good stuff.

All the work done by me, and me only.

So bear with me on this 3D scanned model, it will be ready eventually!

Cheers!!

Inspired by Fredric Aasbø's Formula Drift Comp Car, he shared a lot of info about the setup on this interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKJZm96Hyf8

Tried to make the car feel as he described and in my opinion it is very close to that.

Weight is kept at 3200lbs as seen on video, 285 front and 315 rear tires and over 56% weight bias to the rear.

Fun fact, they weight the cars with basically an empty fuel tank and on shredded tires, because the tires contribute to several pounds when brand new and to make sure the car stays in the weight limit they have to account this on the inspection before the events.

He is one of my favorite drivers out there and a real gentleman,, talks to us fans and is really a driver I look up to.

Hope y'all enjoy the A90 Supra!

The mod is intended to be used on the Super Stock Touring series, given the specs are based on their rulebook.

This car meets ALL the requirements needed to compete in the series.

Engine is a detuned Neo RB25DET, with less boost and adjustable cam gears to widen the power band and to match power and torque level requirements for the series.

Different from the X34 25T (drift focused), this one has a cage, carbon front lip, less power and skinnier tires.

Mod created as a driver's request! Hope y'all enjoy it and have amazing times taking this JDM legend to the track!

Quote from PopnLochNessMonster :

This is a LOT of HP for a LFS mod, especially considering how fast tires burn out for right now

I restricted the car 50% and it drifts very nicely. The kit is...not the best...
But the handling I can say is on point.

My goal is to have a couple high powered, pro comp cars for a future championship, and trying my best to replicate real cars specs. This one was based on Chris Forsberg's Formula Drift Pro Car from a couple years ago when he ran the VK56DE engine.

There is also a pending mod, should be available soon, its A90 Supra with Fredric Aasbo specs, over 900hp, 1450kgs (56% rear bias) and 315 rear tires. It drives very nice despite the huge power, if you keep between 1st and 2nd gear they last quite a while too, but its nice to be able to pop a gear and just roast everything like the real thing!

I'm rlly looking forward for the new tire physics!

Thanks heaps for the feedback! Love knowing how the mods goes along the community!

Built as a PRO Drift car, this Z34 chassis hosts a naturally aspirated, 5.6 litre DOHC V8 engine out of a Nissan Titan, tuned up to produce over 900bhp at over 8000rpm.

Lightweight, large tires and all the lock for maximum drift performance.

Quote from M3THANOL :

This car has a ton of potential and is very fast. It has a tendancy to push the nose on fast corner/ understeer. I have been working on a setup which is already helping with that. Keep up the good work, I am sure this is going to become a favourite of mine. Changing to the proper side exit exhaust will be nice, but all in time!

The understeer thing I'll do more testing but I feel its how the car should behave depending on how the downforce is set. The car has a rear weight bias, let me know how your testing goes!

Quote from PopnLochNessMonster :

Just go ahead and make it the 700bhp to meet Group C regulations...
If any other Group C cars are added in the future they're going to be that spec as well. Would much rather have the car be that power instead of having people restrict the car with setups to have even racing.



I am against the quad exhaust. They do not fit the car at all.
Wouldn't it be much better to put the proficient modelling skills to model a better steering wheel for the car instead of using the FBM wheel?

Glad you pointed out about the regulation power limit, didn't see it that way and I totally agree with you!
Just did a new engine power curve to better match proper race specs and also added a side exhaust to go along!

Steering wheel is on the 'to-do list'.

I'm not a professional 3d modeler but I'm slowly learning my way and loving the process!

Lmk about the changes!

Earlier today I uploaded the GM SST for review!!

Should soon be available! Hope y'all enjoy it!

Let me know if you need an engine Sound I made the engine and sound for the Dorito GTO the 4 Rotor IMSA RX7

That would be great! Had a bit of a struggle trying to mimic this iconic 26b engine sound effectively.

Quote from BeNoM :

Great to finally have a 787B mod, but "Power was rumored to actually be at the 900bhp ballpark and it would hit over 430km/h on the Mulsanne Straight." isn't true.

The fastest record was set by the WM-P88 at 405kp/h before the chicanes were put in on Mulsanne Straight. The 787B raced after the chicanes were put in and definitely didn't hit anywhere near 400kp/h.

The car only put out 900hp (@ 10,500RPM) during unrestricted testing. It was limited to roughly 650-700hp (@ 8,500-9000RPM) during actual racing.

Why the quad exhausts and center seating position too?

Excited to have the 787B in LFS either way

It was a bit of a challenge to match the engines power output, I did the best I could and given the "voluntary restriction" setting for the engine, we can still get pretty close to the 650-700bhp allegedly used for the endurance racing, and at the same time "unleash the beast" at its close to 900bhp. Just couple options I figured would be nice to be able to tweak.

Given the gearing (ones I found during my research, I acknowledge this could be totally inaccurate), Mulsanne length (without chicanes) and power/weight, It ** COULD ** hit over 400km/h. I will correct that on the description!

Quad exhaust I know it is extremely inaccurate But that was just my little touch to the mod per say. I'm still getting proficient at modeling and will definitely update some stuff on this one whenever I get proper skillset and time.


Thanks y'all for the feedback! Keep'em coming!

Based on the 787B from Mazda, this is a track monster built for one and only thing, beat the world at the 24hrs race in LeMans.

Power was rumored to actually be at the 900bhp ballpark and it would hit over 430km/h on the Mulsanne Straight.

Weight was kept at 850kg with driver and no fuel.

Correct wheelbase and as close as possible to replicate suspension type and tire sizes.

For that sub 1min lap at Blackwood!

COVER SCREENSHOT:

Update!

Created a very low poly mesh just to mock up the dimensions on the editor.

And it is on point!!

2700mm wheelbase matched with great success! I'm also going to simulate, as best as possible, all the suspension pickup points and arms length etc. (see attached pic)

The angle kit I run on both my cars was developed by me back in 2015, and has NEGATIVE Ackerman and around 73 degrees of lock. I won't be able to replicate that exactly on LFS but I'll do my best to make it feel as close to my real cars as possible.

I opened the STL file (from the 3D scan) on Blender, saved as a OBJ, imported on Instant Meshes to lower poly count and exported as OBJ again to import on LFS Editor.

This is the process we will be using to develop this mod!

Looks awesome!! So nice to see another 3d scan coming to LFS.

Mods are about to become as real as they can be! Can't wait to try it out!

Hey everyone! Super exited to share these news!

Me and my friends are working on overfenders for my E36 Sedan chassis. We already have the Coupe version developed for my track car (old fashioned way, no 3d scanning).

With the sedan, we decided to 3D scan the car and design the overfenders digitally since it is faster and lots more accurate to mirror the parts.

So with this opportunity, I'll be using the 3D scanned model of the car to make a couple of mods for LFS, using the real cars dimensions!

Here are some pics of the process! This silver E36 is my friend's E36, he lent over his car so we could scan it. My own E36's are too banged up for this (because racecar).

The black coupe is my track car and nicknamed Bella. It was RB swapped, the bay was so tasty I couldn't help myself not to post it. Unfortunately it dropped a valve after 6 years of constant 8000+ RPM limiter bashing, uncountable amounts of tires shredded and loads of FUN and great memories. Now swapping back a M50 BMW engine to keep the thing going.

The black sedan is my daily drifter beater (also the car on my profile pic). Practice car, although it looks beat up for now, it ought to be looking tight after we finish developing the body kit.

Cheers to my mates SBRBOUS (Jeff) which is also member of this community and a real life best friend, for helping me out with 3D modeling since he is the real artist and I'm just his apprentice, to my friend JP for lending over his E36 for the scanning and my friend Vithor, who's the one behind manufacturing the body kits (he also does carbon/kevlar parts for racecars).

TDN (Team Drift Nation) is my own real life drift team since 2013, hence all the mods have this prefix to be easily identified.

I'll be posting the progress of this MOD and hope y'all enjoy this project as much as we are!
