    Why do the 4-stroke engines spawn with no radiator? Both with spawning in a 4-stroke config and swapping in a 4-stroke.

    I really liked this mod. The 2-4 generations have a very beautiful, well-designed interior with a great-looking dashboard at night. I'm into touge - illegal night mountain and forest racing. Your mod really interested me as a lightweight RWD Japanese racing car. Unfortunately I couldn't create a configuration with normal handling at speed with the available parts. The front suspension especially on 185/60 R14 tires is very unstable: the wheels shake, and the car doesn't brake. With maximum lowering the car flips over on tight turns. I ask for GTz and racing shock absorbers and leaf springs. Also please make an RWD transfer case and, if it's not too difficult, an optional independent front suspension or any suspension without a beam axle. I think such configurations would look good in the lore of this model as urban sports versions for young people.

    It's a good mod hopefully you continue to improve it. Alot of people myself included wanted a SUV/Jeep smaller than the hopper and I'm glad you delivered.i think you had the right idea basing it off the pigeon and a 4-door version would be interesting.

    That's a good idea. Something else I'd like to see is more aftermarket parts/configs including more hardcore off road builds(I know some of these are different generations, just giving examples of the general idea)

    Any idea for a 4x2, lengthened or 5-door version?

    Here in Indonesia, there is a 4x2 version of the 2nd gen Jimny (with RWD transfer case) called 'Katana' for real. Literally they kinda took the true prowess of the Jimny by making it a 4x2... lmao

    Some coachbuilders had also build a stretched, rebodied and even 5-door variants of the Katana. And their bodies were also sometimes used by local coachbuilders e.g. Marvia as a platform for building kit cars too.

    I think this only works for the short rear bumper but to fix it I think you can change offsets manually. (requires these mods https://www.beamng.com/resources/european-license-plates-compilation.6952/ https://www.beamng.com/resources/yellow-rear-plate-addon.23108/)

    If it doesn't work I know it should work in this skin pack mod that I made the rear plate for. https://www.beamng.com/resources/top-gear-police-skins-fixed.39176/

    I'm enjoying this so much!!!

    Also noticed that the 1st Gen King-Gym JDM is called "Pigeon King-Gym"!

    They were seemingly named that way because it was indeed completely based on a Pigeon platform initially.

    Although it only applies to the Japanese 550 models only - the export versions were called as simply 'King Gyms'.

    I've noticed the front wheel often hit the wheel arch when brake hard or drive on bumpy road (I used 3rd gen eudm DX for testing, but this happened on others too)

    Mod is very nice but the lack of radiator on some models make it hard to drive for ex. Utah. And sunvisors don't work on hardtop models
