Update Speculation thread

I am about 75% sure update will be delayed for a few weeks and will drop in the last third of december, but we will get the wendover as opposed to your speculations that update will drop earlier but without wendover. Devs probably want to consistently release a new vehicle every second update so they might delay this one because bendover is certainly not finished yet.
Covet revamp is coming in 0.22 for sure as the D series superpig did not get released in 0.20 but was teased before the update.

 

On the other hand, while i agree that this update will be dropping probably by the end of the year, i dont think the Wendover is even close to being ready.

 

Nah, we're for sure not getting the Wendover in this update. We only got one development pic and it was super early. We'd see a lot more stuff by now.

 

I'm not sure about a Rotary/Wankel 200BX. I guess it would be a good step away from being a straight up S13 200SX, but I would leave the quirky stuff like that to Hirochi. Still waiting for that Gavril 4.5 swap we were told about in 2014 though... Now that would make some cool drift/drag racing configs.

The Superpig was a huge project with multiple body styles and massive changes from the factory truck, which was further delayed an update due to the interior updates to the D-Series. The GTX Covet is just a body kit that looks complete and a new drive train, which is almost certainly either VTEC or a refinement of NineteyNine's old mod, neither of which are things I imagine would take months to complete. It might be part of a larger Covet update and pack with those in 0.22, or come alone in 0.21, I don't think we can call it either way.

 

maybe some pessima drivetrain stuff?

 

I just hope they fix the massive torque steering that the Covet has. Not too strong with a stock 90hp engine but definitely awful with a 300Nm diesel engine lol

I tried to make several diesel engines for the Covet and I always regret doing it haha

 

i saw it, the new gtz

 

Those brake caliper models look good, are they new?

They seem to be of higher detail than before.

 

No shit, the Covet was barely built to handle 200 Nm.

 

I believe they have been re-doing them the past few updates, covet it seems is next.

 

So is the Pessima and others and can handle perfectly a fully built 600Nm 1.9TDI engine lol

Either way, a bone stock covet has actually a more aggressive torque steer compared to the other FWD cars

 

Either way, the Covet does need to be redone, the rear suspension model doesn't even match the jbong anymore

 

I'm guessing the ZXI Covet would have something along the lines of a 1.6 DOHC naturally aspirated engine with variable valve timing.

 

The covet has more torque steer because its halfshafts are of unequal length :



both gen pessimas use intermediate shafts to prevent torque steer ; the covet doesn't

 

Wow that's very interesting, makes sense! I didn't know that made a difference lol

Thanks for the explanation


Sorry for not being on topic

 

i hope this also ''revamps'' the 90s ibishu engines, considering they are mostly the same

 

Hey, I found someone who's gonna read the bible backward with me

 

well deserved i must say

 

You fool, you thought I would fall for the RickRoll link.
