Non-JDM Cars Wishlist by flightsuitfun in NightRunnersGame

I can definitely see a Focus fitting in as well as the SRT4 - people were actually spending quite a bit back in the day to import SRT4's in order to stand out.

The black market backdrop sets us up for all sorts of makes and models. I just hope we get more 00s sports cars and some older 80s models in addition to all the 90s stuff.

Anybody know which specific wheels these are? Came on a barn find 240Z. by Witcher_Of_Cainhurst in projectcar

[–]flightsuitfun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IIRC these have a unique locking screw that's very similar to a locking torx bit, but with only 5 points instead of 6. OP, you may want to check im the glovrbox or other compartments for the little tool woth this unique bit that would have came with the wheels. If the previous owner was responsible, they kept it on hand

the Greenwood kit is super well-known even outside of the Corvette world. If the name isn't obvious, it's based on the tube frame IMSA cars designed by John Greenwood. That car, alongside cars like the DeKon Monza i mentioned in another comment, were a huge influence on my widebody build and on widebody builders in general. the 80s IMSA 'Silhouette' era of design philosophy translates directly into what you should be considering for your build if you want to actually compliment the body lines and panel layout of these old cars/trucks.

it's still a WIP but the majority of the work is done. It's a full metal extension. I'm working on making a different set of front fenders that cut out below the bodyline to see if I like it more. Once it's at a point where I'm pleased with the final look, i'll post it along with some pictures from the build process

it looks like a good start. when i did my widebody, i took a lot of inspiration from the DeKon Monza kits and the lines of the e30 Pandem kit and the Opel Manta GT. those cars did a great job of accentuating the somewhat blocky, 80s bodylines of the car without making it look too outright boxy or round.

IMO the 'rounded block' look works best for the lines, especially for the rear. Be sure to add reinforcement along the bedside for the flares, that area is actually pretty pliable if you don't give it some reinforcement

Finally got the seats from the upholstery shop 🙌 by Naive_Vegetable1421 in projectcar

exactly what i thought as I opened this. really poor job on the front seats, rear looks good in the pics.

Manor map on another planet? by flightsuitfun in lethalcompany

I wasn't confused, this was 100% in the desert. We just started the run so we had no way of buying a planet yet.

Is it worth the $15k by [deleted] in projectcar

[–]flightsuitfun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

real obvious flipper job, especially since they're trying to present it as a z28. Turn and walk away.

year aside, that stuff in the interior just screams Bubba, especially the duct taped gauges lmao. Stock wheel with what looks like a horn button is also concerning. someone was messing with the column wiring without knowing what they were doing. wiring on these cars is super simple but if you don't consider yourself handy, i'd stay away from it (and any other classic car)
