I think it's about time I created a thread for my first full car mod, one I've been working on for a few months now, and still have a good number of months to go on since I have a lot planned for it. My closest representation of the early to mid 90's roadster we all know and love, rebranded as an Ibishu for repo copyright reasons and definitely not mainly because I'm using some covet textures. THIS IS NOT entirely my model, the body and interior are taken from the older miata mod from the forums (someone let me know who made that originally or where the model's from and I'll credit them), but the entire jbeam, undercarraige, and engine are being done by me from scratch. Like the real thing, this car is an experiment, it already has a few features I haven't seen on any other car mods on here, including; -Slightly better undercarriage destruction; brake discs stay on the hubs when wheels break off, driveshafts can detach, control arms and shocks stay in place when hubs break free. -Fully mechanical soft top -As many different engine part slots as I could make influence the engine's strength and performance without conflicting with eachother. -The engine is only as strong as its weakest part, so for big power setups you need it fully built including a beefy fuel injection system and pump. Possible future plans include; Engine swaps, depending on what assets I can get/make (Bastion V6/V8, Scintilla V10, RB26, 13B, K20...) Parts swapped in from the later-gen car, e.g. stronger braced subframe, VVTI cylinder head, wider track width hubs... Possibly an alternative spaceframe kit car chassis (like the exocet)
This looks really good! Great work! I Hope you finish it so I can drive one of my favourite cars in beam
yuo stol mi idea!1111!!! no literally you kinda did lol (taken from a private convo) Looking forward to have one of THE most notorius shitbox convertibles in the game. (also, pm me, i would die for a miata)
Aye, this thing looks sweet! The game has needed a proper Miata mod for a while, so I look forward to it's release
omg miat in gaem?1!!/1??1 In all seriousness can't wait, looks neat and wish you best on your journey.
i will get assaulted for saying this, but i personally think the NC miata is the best gen for general daily-driving as for the mod, it looks nice! can't wait to drive it
i would explain, but i don't want to have Seduction by Eminem instead https://open.spotify.com/track/2V7NoXGv2VDnLeTM7w8SFd?si=ace4c314ec7d49a4
What. Since Theo Wilkinson's Hirochi CCF has been a thing for a while now (and it's basically a NC/ND Miata), it would make sense for this one to be a Hirochi too.
Ibishu produces sedans and small hatcbacks, like honda and mazda. Hirochi produces sport sedans, like Subaru, Datsun, Toyota and Nissan. In the end i think Ibishu fits better.
not really, I think CCF is it's own thing with size based on miata, also I don't think Hirochi would completly replace every engine with boxer in later gens
Yeah I'd been considering whether or not to make this a 90's CCF. It'd make sense to do it, because both based on the same RL car, but it'd also make sense lore-wise for them to be 2 seperate cars from different companies considering the CCF's boxer engines coming from the SBR and this 1.6 coming from the Covet.
