    Hello guys.

    Quite a bit ago when the update 0.28 came out and added the new ETK GT4 vehicle i thout to myself... Why cant i have a direct competitor in the track.

    So i decided to learn how to mod (Stumbling around in youtube and forum tutorials) and came out with this.

    The bastion coupe and it's GT4 Customer racing version.




    It's still missing quite some features like a stripped interior/race refueling system and probably wheels

    I'll still be working on this but i'll make sure to keep you up to date

    That's pretty good. Will definitely keep an eye out!

    Question though, is it built on fillman86's coupe? Cause that one has some mesh issues in the rear fender, and it might be a waste of time in the long run.

    You know, using filman88's model and not crediting him is lowkey theft lol, just be sure to credit him alright?

    I'm trying to figure out if it's that model, cause it looks a bit cleaner. Might be just the angle though, I have no clue.

    All I feel could be improved is struts to hold the front splitter, a hood with vents instead of the large scoop based hood and a racing liverylike the Mustang gt4

    At first glance it doesn't look the same, or maybe it's modified to look cleaner. There is really no way to tell without seeing the polyflow. He could have also just recreated what Fillman did since the whole process was shown in the video.

    Recreating it is probably easier than cleaning up the original IMO haha. Since you still have to split the model in 2, reposition all those nodes and not just select and move forward, mirror it again. My 2 cents.

    Hey guys, it is the same jbeam and some of the coding of fillman's model but the modeling has been all made from scratch, i forgot crediting his work while making this post tbh but i need to talk to him so i can fully release this mod!

    The doors have been elongated, the roof and body has been reshaped to look more like an actual coupe rather than a sedan with 2 welded doors.
    The gt4 model has been created to look like a camaro/mustang blend so there's some mish mash of both cars, also been fooling around with a GT Rally variant.

    About the racing hood, i've been planing of using the battlehawk's hood but flattened and placing the cooling grids on the back rather than on the front, but remember that these cars cant play to much outside of original aero, that's why i went without struts on the splitter, tbh i might get rid of it completely and going with canards only.

    As in original factory trims i didn't think on posting them cause they are pretty much done with the rework of the body, might add the "slim" and "wide" versions to although this car would be only expected for sport use rather than base/luxury trims.

    I'll be working some more on jbeams since they are pretty off (Doors wise) and i'll share some more pics of the other trims in probably the next few days!

    Good idea, Rally parts might take a bit of time to make.

    May I ask what you are using to edit the jbeam?
