WIP [INLINE 5] Hirochi Sunburst HSW

Hello everyone!

I have created a mod for something that I think should be in the game by now - an Inline 5 car. I present...

The Hirochi Sunburst HSW

Here's the backstory.

HSW means “Hirochi Special Works.” It’s Hirochi’s special performance division, such as ETK with their ttSport and ttSport+ cars. They are different however. They try interesting things as well as normal higher-performance sports cars.

One of the things they have done is the CVT-R concept. Which was, well… interesting.

The 2013 Sunburst HSW was a concept car that they did produce, but only made 1,432 examples. They sold well, but not for long. Minor cooling issues with the company’s first inline-5 engine led to overheating in the radiator. Aftermarket parts were available, and Hirochi also attempted to fix the issue, however regular fixes and maintenance were on the expensive side.

It was meant to be an alternative engine for the Sport S and RS. If you didn't like 4-cylinder turbos, then this was meant for you. A 2.3L normally aspirated I5 making power in the ballpark of 220 bhp and 290 lb-ft.

The trim models were simple.

• The I5 was only available on Sport S FWD/AWD and Sport RS AWD.
  
  
• The models equipped with the engine added a 5 to the S/RS (Sport S-5 / Sport RS-5)
  
  
• Transmission options were limited on the S-5 models -
  
  
  • The FWD model was only available with a 5-Speed Manual. This was due to traction problems, and the DCT acting strangely while accelerating. (It spins the tires from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. It shouldn’t go to 3rd, this slows the acceleration times tremendously. Programming it to hold it in 2nd could lead to engine damage and overheating.)
    
    
  • The AWD models received an DCT and manual options. No traction issues here.
    
• All I5 models also received SunSport RS 18x8 wheels for improved traction.
  

This is but a WIP car as of now.

There is good news though! I have sound! It's from a Volvo 850R and it fits the car perfectly. However there are copyright issues, because the sound is from Forza Horizon 3, and the programming is from @titleguy1. So shout-out to him.

I also need help!

I need someone who knows how to mod textures well who is willing to help! The car needs S5 and RS5 badging, and I don't know how.

I need someone who knows how to mod meshes well who is willing to help! These cars also need an I5 mesh, because the I4 mesh doesn't look right.

Here is a list of what is done and what needs work:

1. Inline 5 engine - Done.
2. Inline 5 sound - WIP. (5-cylinder sound goes for every Sunburst - I am working on engine specific sound.)
3. Inline 5 badging - Need help.
4. Inline 5 mesh - Need help.

If anyone is willing to help, PLEASE CONTACT ME!

Thanks!

 

When I read "Inline 5"

 

I am indeed, but id like to wait for the new power train code

 

I really hate to bump this again, but as a Volvo guy, i really would like to know how this is going and to have a i5 engine sound mod in beamng would be awesome.
