New port from GTA: SA.

 

Been modeling this on and off for the past few months.

Still needs a lot of work, but I am very pleased with how the back is turning out so far.

 

Decided to borrow some parts from the Miramar.

 

some progress on my sound mod

 

Worked a bit on that petite Japanethe-ith athhh

And it'th got a drivethaft *going to make it a prop, in cathe you wanna know why it'th mithplathed

 

Hey! Listen!

 

With seating for six your ride won't go on the fritz...

 

While that looks pretty good so far, I would suggest raising the seats a bit as they are sitting quite low.
The left is more the height they should be whilst the right is the height they currently are:

 

60% body
20% suspension
20% Handling ,lights & etc. (Handling is very terrible)
I use grand marshal jbeam and i'm not very good at modding (my brother helps me modelling and suspension)

 

Wow....Russian mod... I know it's a Russian mod because i'm working on improving it... Unless you're Adam (The guy who made it), you're stealing it.

 

Nah, you both didn't ask for permission so technically you're stealing it too.

 

I agree... I wanted to contact the author but it's pretty impossible to do it. The problem here is that i worked on it but this guy STEALS it with no edits and then claim that he made it...
But by theory, i agree with you that i kinda steals it.

 

Added the last textures for the exterior and got some more chrome so here's a summary for the Cressida/Corona.
Model: 80%
Textures: 60%
Handling: 0% (still handles like the Miramar)
Parts: 20% (still need to adjust taxi sign, separate seats and pretty much separate alot of parts.
Lights: 1%
Jbeam: 0% (no adjustments yet)

 

can i do this to it

 

Just a few observations, not expecting you to take them into consideration:

Girder looks like it'll lock the rear axle dead. Might be an uncomfortable ride. If you place a hinge on where the girder meets the body, you might be able to pull off some freaky SRA trailing arm setup. Girder bracing will trap moisture/road grime between itself and the body causing corrosion unless stoneguard or some other underbody protection is applied. The design itself indicates that it's hardened steel welded wherever there's an angle; if it's folded metal, it'll be a variety that won't be stiff enough to handle the load and forces of normal driving. It'll also be heavy AF. It's an unusual design choice. Inspired by the MX5 Power Plant Frame?

Not understanding your twin universal joints on the diff side of the driveshaft, but I'm not familiar with solid axle setups so if it's fine, then it's fine. Just make sure your design keeps the transmission and diff parallel to each other in extension and compression to reduce NVH and wear. Phasing is correct though.

Steering wheel seems very small considering the size of the car. Assuming it's around the size of a TR6? I think the factory wheel dominated about 1/3 of the dashboard... Consider antropometrics and scale the components to suit so your interior is somewhat ergonomic and can be properly functional in the real world.

Exhaust will need flex joint somewhere after the headers and hangers to stop engine movement from damaging the exhaust and underbody.

Wheel well clearance??

Assuming suspension isn't done yet, but the girder (while it will flex, rub, and knock against the body) should limit lateral movement of the rear axle, so you won't need a panhard rod or anything, but again, I haven't the slightest clue as to how the rear axle will move.

...wait. Is that a CV joint and control arms on the brace and wheel hub? If that's a freaky solid axle/independent suspension hybrid, you may as well have done a conventional differential/CV to wheel hub setup. You get greater strength and geometric freedom with the suspension and a lighter, simpler rear axle.

Neat little car though. Clean modelling. Keep up the great work.

 

In almost a month of development you're the first person to provide some detailed feedback
Tbh, I used a Google image as reference for the driveshaft, it looked interesting and different so why not
The frame was inspired by Lotus Elan (and another backboned Lotus car that I can't remember the name of)
Now that I take a better look at it, the steering wheel really looks tiny, but that's an easy fix
The exhaust is some sort of place holder right now, going to remake it someday
The suspension is in semi compressed state, something like almost 100%
With the solid axle/independent suspension hybrid I was thinking I could make something different and use the entire axle width as a supporting structure for the body
As for the underbody, it's temporary and it's there to have something better looking than some weird backfaces

 

Hirochi SBR4 Hybrid confirm.
