    Any reason why the Safari config has no LSD? Goofy that it's got a rangebox but not that.

    hey, glad you like it! the engines are on the weaker side on purpose, realistically you wouldn't get a ton of power from a carbed OHV 1 liter
    300hp is about the limit of what I think you can push outta the biggest one, and that's still enough to break traction in 3rd gear :p
    the mid-engine body is also like that on purpose as it's meant to be a one-off (or I guess two-off) type of race-oriented build, so all unnecessary stuff got thrown out
    (tho the standard dashboards & seats are still available, I assume your'e talking about the interior carpets?)

    that's roughly the same as a standard production Hayabusa, pretty sure you can do a 0-100kph in 1st gear on that bike
    I could try adding an adjustable final drive, tho you'd have to imagine the correct number of teeth on the sprockets yourself :D

    originally I wanted it to have both a locking diff and a rangebox, but for reason that I don't actually remember now (I think it was lack of space or something) I decided on just a rangebox, and instead of the locking diff it just got a shorter final drive (which still is more than what you'd get in a 147 Rustica)
    I guess you can chalk it up to the Italians doing things their own different way :p

    The car in MSC is rear engine rear wheel drive. And is not a Maluch, but a SEAT 131 a vehicle a segment bigger. Saying they are similar is like saying Ford Focus and Ford Mondeo are similar.
    Aria is front engine front wheel drive

    No, the Fittan is not a Fiat. Although it was called a Fiat in other countries, it has nothing to do with the 126. It's a Seat 133 made in Spain. It has no Fiat equivalent; it's purely Spanish. They look similar, but they're not the same car; the Seat 133 is larger.
    --- Post updated ---
    This is not the case with the Fiat 127 and the Seat 127, which are basically the same car with a different brand (under a Fiat license) that was also manufactured in Spain. The Seat 133 is a "Seat" 850 with a different body, and apart from a couple of cars, most of Seat's past is basically Fiat.

    Either way, Fittan is not an Aria.

    For me, it's inspired by the Fiat 127. If you start modifying it, you can make the Spanish versions. They have Spanish license plates, and it already simulates being a... Cochebello?

    This is a car that is a perfect example of a vehicle with an x factor. It is so much more than the sum of its parts. Thank you for creating this and I believe it's one of the best mods in beam's long history.

    One of the reasons I love this mod and other similar small car mods is because it gives people an opportunity to see why small cars are so much fun.

    We live in a world where everyone thinks you need 1000hp to have fun. That couldn't be further from the truth. In the UK and Europe (and of course Japan too) we adore our small cars, like the 205 and Fiesta. I've owned some fairly rapid cars in my time, and in work I have had the opportunity to experience and benchmark some insanely fast cars, yet I always find myself being drawn back to lightweight, relatively low powered, front drive hatchbacks. They're just so much more wholesome and you can use all of their potential, all of the time.

    Slow car fast always beats fast car slow.
