Well, it's been almost 3 years since the last update for this mod. Time really flies, huh? To be honest, I'm surprised it's still in a relatively good shape after so long.
Anyway, this is a long overdue update, with a big visual refresh and a lot of things to unpack. So:
- Big visual improvements

- Similar in style to Covet and 200BX counterparts, minus the RHD​

- Now uses turbocharged HITEC engine and race slicks​

- Updated Trackday configs

- Updated doors, trunk and hood sounds
- Updated triggers to use more modern actions system
- Updated vehicle paints (thanks to @Kueso)
- Updated part pricing
- Updated thumbnails
- Updated openables to be more vanilla-like (especially doors)
- Fixed carbon fiber hood texture scaling
- Fixed materials being needlessly double-sided
- Improved interior slot ordering

And that's about it. Again, big thanks to Javi and Kueso for their help, I imagine without them this would make it a 3+ year update
