If you need some reference pictures or measurements I have an Abarth 124 which is basically an ND Miata with different motor and body shape
As much as lots of us want an actual British car in the game, Hirochi is a Japanese brand so it's best to keep it how it is.
An Autobello rebadge actually would be very cool, but I can’t imagine it’ll come around in this version of the mod. Would be an interesting project for somebody else though.
How is this gonna be an Autobello? I don't see anything Italian about it, it's all Japanese. --- Post updated --- Can it be Ibishu?
IRL the Miata and the Fiat Abarth 124 are essentially the same car, apart from the engine and overall design. I mean they even share the same interior, apart from a few minute differences. A BeamNG version of that would almost certainly be branded as an Autobello.
The are the same car. The are built in the same factory. the only difference is visual and the fiat using its own engine and related parts. As for this maybe Ibishu 200bx? We know technically in KJLP Lore that the two brands have worked together before with the Saga using a Hirochi engine. Perhaps we get a 200bx version with a slightly bigger body and wheelbase to mirror the New Z?
Been doing loads of work on suspension performance, but especially stuff for the Country (which is of the last significant exterior steps on this car) Today I added AWD with an eventually disconnectable front diff It’s current features are: - raised and much softer suspension - cladding kit all round, including a widebody - new front bumper with raised vents and corner undertrays - full undertray with oilpan coverage (it attaches to the front chassis brace) - rear bumper black hex pattern cladding - shark fin antenna - heavy duty engine block - torque converter for extra off-the-line torque - frontal lockable limited slip differential - rear lockable limited slip differential Planned features: - disconnectable front diff to allow it to behave like other CCF variants - possibly a Sahara beige roof - small modifications off the Country “dune” for the Country “arctic” - interior mods down the line In general, this is what I have left before I start the interior: - Finish the country arctic and dune - Suspension models - Engine and eMotor mounts - Drivetrain linkage (things like the halfshafts and driveshafts’ll be stolen and fitted from other official parts) I estimate I’ll be starting interior stuff beginning-middle of February
I want to see how you routed the front drivetrain in this thing, I feel like a flat engine would get in the way.
Procyon rebadged version would be called something like the Procyon Polaris or something similar. But I hope that the rebadged version (whatever brand it'll be) will at least be a bit different than the CCF, because I wouldn't want to just have a CCF with a different badge on it. Or maybe I'm just being too greedy/forceful.
If the rebadge happens, it’s gonna be done by me, if that helps you guys with the guesses as to what it might end up as.
If it were to get a rebadge: - It would be higher end - it would include extensive bodywork changes - the interior would be mostly changed We have already got lore
With the interior, maybe don’t make it as luxury as the last time it felt too luxury for a smaller sport vehicle. This is only my opinion though.
