    its like the BeamNG sounds are realistic and sounds like actual engines!
    fascinating right?

    joking aside, it is a custom sound- it just so happens the beamNG I4 sounds close to it
    or it may be using a blend of both sounds- idk

    I finally got the RWD swap done (as some of you saw in the video I posted yesterday).
    20190721171212_1.jpg 20190721171223_1.jpg
    All of the engines can be mounted longitudinally. I managed to cram the engine + transmission in the short engine bay WITHOUT EVEN CUTTING ANYTHING.
    20190721171302_1.jpg
    It needed a new exhaust system and a front subframe to support the engine.

    There was no way to add a differential to the beam axle so I made a double wishbone rear suspension. It feels a lot better compared to the beam axle even though it doesn't have a sway bar yet.

    The fuel tank didn't fit at all with the new exhaust and driveshaft. Now there's a 60L tank in the trunk. It functions very well and improves the weight distribution until something hits the rear...

    Also here's the 4 different seat patterns I've made (I don't think I have posted this yet?)

    There is but it's only the intake sound (the exhaust sound is the normal I4 sound). You can't really hear the intake sound in the video because the huge 2 inch fartcan makes the exhaust sound a lot louder.

    A generic rusty skin could definitely be done in Substance Painter very fast. But since I'm making the skin look exactly like my Fiesta, I find it easier to just photograph the rust spots and make the whole skin in Paint.NET.

    I made that one police skin. It's fully colorable too.

    I finally the center caps them after forgetting them for like 8 months. I also made an old version that fits with the old wheels and tires.

    Slightly off-topic but recently I got new carpets for my Fiesta. Because they are orange, I absolutely had to make this NO MATERIAL text from cardboard ;). My friend thought it was photoshopped when he saw the first picture.

    This mod will be great. I hope he goes online someday. I myself had an XR2 a few years ago. Did a lot of fun the car.

    In June I said that I'm not gonna AWD swap it but I don't know now. It shouldn't be too hard to do but there may be some problems with fitting the half shafts. The engine is mounted so low that there is very little space under it.

    Hopefully the new update didn't ruin, or mess up half the materials on this mod. I know it did on a few mods that are really popular.

    It did mess up at least these things:
    018f1.jpg
    Literally everything is SUPER shiny and the glass turned invisible
    018f2.jpg
    XR2 lights look weird (reflector isn't reflective anymore?)
    018f3.jpg
    Front turn signals lost 75% of their color
    018f4.jpg
    Gauges look very weird

    And almost all of the color presets look wrong (black & white are probably the only ones that still look ok)

    I don't think he will. Maybe when it's in a more presentable state, but not now.
