QUATTROPACE: the people's car of Veeky Forums - everybody's working for the weekend but me

Fuck me, the last thread died fast.

Anyway, ITT brainstorming.
Since I am away from my desktop on the weekends, I can't do any modelling, so it would be best to use this time in a worth while way.

Let's get all the ideas for the interior and engines now while I'm unable to model shit.

Likely trims and engine options atm:
Poverty spec - basic grille, no spoilers
>straight 4 NA 1.8L (110BHP) available with 5 speed manual only
Eco spec - Aerodynamic enhancing parts, rear wheel cover
>straight 4 Turbo 1.8L (130BHP) available with 5 speed manual only
Touring - multiple front options, small rear spoiler, louvers optional and multiple wheel options
>straight 6 NA 2.0L (190BHP) available with 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual
(Some sporty initials) Top of the line sports version - wide body kit, special wheels, special sports spoiler, rear louvers.
>straight 6 Turbo 2.0L (270 BHP) available with 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual
>Race (DTM like) version (not a trim)
>WAT version with dorito
>rally version with 4WD and 5 cylinder turbo
P.S. the program I am using to model this is Blender 2.79.

Why does the car look so old like it's a 80's-90's car?

That's what the masses voted for.

That car looks terrible. But lets look at your engine options for a second.

>L4 1.8 - 110hp
Not unheard of.
>L4 1.8L Turbo - 130hp
It would be the same basic engine, just likely with lower compression, so why the fuck would it make only 20 more hp? What is it running 3 lbs of boost? What a waste.
>L6 2.0 - 190hp
Yeah, nah. The technology differences between a 1.8 4cyl making 110hp and a 2.0 6 cyl making 190hp are immense.
Also what would be the point of adding another cylinder to get to only 2 liters? 2 liters is the ideal 4 cylinder size. If you're going to 6 at least make it 2.5 liters.
And considering BMW in the 90's needed 3 liters to make 190hp I don't see your POS making 190hp on only 2 liters.
Also lotus in the 80's had a L4 2.2 turbo that made 210hp, and it was miserably limited by the bosch MFI. When they added GM EFI to it it was approaching 300hp, on 8lbs of boost.

You suck at design, you suck at thinking, and most of all you suck at living. Kys fagboy.

(You)

Because it's a 1985 year model.
>I'm going to wait four threads to bitch about stuff I could have voiced my opinion on when it was being decided
Keep Yourself Safe.

suggesting a company name along the lines of Odan
Channel Motor Co (CMC) sounds good too

now fuck off
I like CMC, but it sounds too close to CWC

Oh, thanks.

This is car created by the combined minds of Veeky Forumstists.
We have been collectively working on this for the past few weeks. This project has many inaccuracies, but this is a project of passion, memes and autism.

All we are doing is having a little fun, now idk if you were bullied by other kids in school and because of that when you see people working together you get all pissy, but you don't have to participate in a thread in which you are too inept of the creativity to help out with, in a friendly manner.
What he said.

This car looks like there were too many hands in the cookie jar when it came to designing it

>I'm going to wait four threads to bitch about stuff I could have voiced my opinion on when it was being decided
see
>Let's get all the ideas for the interior and engines now while I'm unable to model shit.

90% of my post was saying how fucking retarded the engine options are.
And the OP was asking about engines.
You're fucking retarded.

Why not FCM

Four Channel Motors?

Dalco Quattropace

how about Channel Motor Works?
Channel Motor Group?
Channel Motor Board.

seems too implicit of 4channel, but that's just me
perhaps change Four into Fort or something
Fort Channel Moto

Its another "user spergs about something he knows nothing about" episode

also you have shit taste

>ideas for interior
make the speedo only show up on a HUD so mom won't yell at me for doing 26 in a 25
has to be a cheap hud tho, the ones that project on a plastic shield like in mini's, low class bmw's and vw's
also are going to make the blender-files available for public?

Vote for channel motor board

Digital dash with an 80's aesthetic is a must
Cloth, leather, and comfy velour seat material options
Cd/aux stereo with optional tape cassette

A bit better, but what about some Euro-inspired flair? Channel-Moter-Werks?

I'm a fan of names whose abbreviations you can still easily say. First thought in this case is Channel Auto Motive - CAM.

for the interior, i suggest brushed metal facia, buttons, and controls

>OP thinking adding a turbo will add 20hp

That looks like a combination of a Washing Machine and an Analog Hi-Fi Radio. Me no likey.

it's 80s, though
other options are plastic and/or wood

it could be a trim option, or the brushed metal can just be applied on surrounds as accents and on control knobs/buttons/sliders/etc

This guy is so dead right and it was the first thing I thought when I saw this abortion of a thread

It looks like an appliance.

Come up with a better simulation and we'll talk.

I agree on engine size. I personally think the I4 should be 2.0 or 2.2, and the I6 should be 3.5. I also mentioned before that the transmissions should be a 6 speed manual and 8 speed automatic. Both are simply superior to a 4AT and 5MT

They also both dont exist in 1985. RB20 didn't need 3.5L.

so you made a retarded delorean. Good for you.

The car isn’t designed with only 80s tech, it’s just stylized with that era in mind.

>>straight 6 NA 2.0L (190BHP) available with 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual

To make that power it should be like a 3 litre. For an 80s car a 2.5l I6 with like 170hp is fitting

does this have to be exclusively 1985 available stuff?

I figured it was just "if Veeky Forums designed a car it would look and feel like an 80's car" but i didnt figure that would apply under the hood too

>late 80's tech
>8 speed auto
Bro, you tarded?
No.

I think you need to revisit the delorean's design. because it looks nothing like a delorean.

personally I think a 6 cylinder engine with any less than 3 liters is a waste and you might as well make it a 2.5 4 by then

That’s exactly how it started. Half the people talking about this weren’t even a twinkle in their dads eye in the 80s

>It would be the same basic engine, just likely with lower compression, so why the fuck would it make only 20 more hp? What is it running 3 lbs of boost? What a waste.

Yes, you said it. It's running lower compression. Lowering the compression like from 9.5:1 to like 7.5:1 is a huge loss in power and if it's an eco spec the turbo is probably for fuel economy and meant for good response instead of huge top end. Fuck off sperg

The idea of it now is that it was first launched in 1986 with a lesser 6cyl, but revised in like 1989 or 1990 with a much more advanced engine.

Just literally pick any more realistic power figures and you won't embarrass yourself.

that's silly

I don't need "lore" with my car and a detailed backstory.

Hey, that's what the simulations gave us. We got graphs and everything.
Shit gets hektik between 3 and 5k.

Then fuck off

Idea for the logo? I was thinking something like these. If not CMB or what ever will be chosen maybe for WAT? Or for the DTM inspired race version (assuming it has it's tuner or what ever"? Or for the rally version?

You have a 1.8 litre presumably OHC engine making worse specific power output than my irl modded 1.5 OHV Triumph bro

The lower compression only takes power from the low end, the point is the turbo more than makes up for it in the high end.

someone repost the logos from the last thread

IMO the "channel" logo with the 4 green bars was 80's as fuck

But the point of this whole thing is to have that and be fitting.

I thought the whole point was to design the car Veeky Forums would want to have made if they could make a car

Oh shit my mistake, I missed it. It's in the pic in OP. Looks good. Looks sorta like the Alfa Quadrifoglio logo though

>L4 1.8L Turbo - 130hp
if it was the same design but with lower compression how would it still be 1.8L? Did you even think about this?
>L6 2.0 NA - 190hp
dem revs yo.

Yes, and most anons are autists and the car being shitty initially and getting better engines while facelifted is really realistic.

Modified crank. Like the BMW M10 engines for example. The 2002 Turbo got the tii engine with a turbo. Same displacement but compression down from 9.3:1 to 6.9:1

Can there be a full-madman tier with extreme aero and a F1-bred V12?

there could be multiple logos, just like how car companies changed theirs over the years and put model specific emblems on certain models (eg. skyline)


i suggest the logo can be like this (as suggested in the last thread), but in chrome
basically Veeky Forums turned sideways

And by modified crank I mean a different one with a different design.

>if it was the same design but with lower compression how would it still be 1.8L? Did you even think about this?
I said same basic design, and you are a complete idiot.

>dem revs yo.
You do know that you can't just make more power by revving higher right?
If the torque isn't there, the power isn't there.

Yes, DTM style with dorito.

I cannot wait to drive these cars in Assetto Corsa and every where else other anons might put it in.

One spinny triangle isn't enough, I expect at least 3.

I don't know shit about doritos, I'll leave that to whoever does.

Wow do you just not understand the difference between static and dynamic compression or have you trolled all of the retards on this board

Is this a shitty try at damage control or are you actually that fucking retarded?

needs a twincharged AWD engine option.

I genuinely cannot fathom how so many people are retarded enough to support this project. Your excuse for a turbo engine making 20 more HP than its n/a cousin (making worse specific power output than my REAL LIFE 70S PUSHROD ENGINE) is that it's low compression

It's the economy spec.

Real life 70s pushrod i4 hp per cc
0.06

Dream car ohc i4 hp per cc
0.06111111111111

What the fuck is wrong with you guys

Do you suffer from autism?

What's the valve train for this engine and what time period are you setting it in

>dream car
Nigger the dream is the GTR-II spec which isn't even listed. I don't think we've even settled on the powerplant for it. That's just one of the povertymode specs.

I do not speak this spooky monkey talk, but what I can say is that it will start out with mid 80s tech and in the early 90s will be updated.
Some engines have been made in automation for reference.

Vote for updating to a 2.5l L6 engine, both NA and TooBo

>front mid engine
a patrician choice

cars are appliances

no its more like a retarded z31 or ma70 supra

do we have an official wheel and tire sizes

I need that for the LFS replication

atm Im using

215/55r16x8 on the front and 225/55r16x8 on the rear

other than that I guess its pretty much done and actually fun to drive if you like oversteery shit that cant do anything outside of boost or under 6000 rpm

16s seem just about right. There is not much I can do right now.
So I guess, when I'm back at my pc I will try to simplify the car model to make it more suitable for the game.
But that doesnt mean that it's finished.

The sports trim outta be called the Hektik edition of something ad have a little nameplate to go on after the nameplate

Something about the proportions are way way off

It's designed like a super angular car like a mark 3 but the committee was too scared to go full bore with the slide rule

Refresh version needs to be a full blown wannabe mark 3 with some not retarded pup ups, factory hood scoop, more aggressive rear end, and ditch the bubble lift back for an angular one.

The front carries on too far beyond the wheels and the car is too long and tall in general. It looks front wheel drive. The headlamps are also ridiculously small.

I havent the slightest clue about getting models into LFS

I pretty much just do physics but if someone else knows how to do all the model shit then woohoo

i just found this:
youtube.com/watch?v=GDvYNGt9JN8
maybe it'll help

yeah I could probably do something like that but thats a quick convert that looks like ass

Id at least try to assign materials and textures

Is there enough room for a V8 swap?

Prob

>Engine mounts start to go
>Needs a new head

normal
205/55 15x6 et40 (1827
turbo
225/50 15x7 et27 (1827

The car doesn't have a subfame modeled.

Yeah you could totally fit a V8 in there. V8s are so much more compact than some people realize they just think "more cylinders=more size".
The real issue at the moment is how we could fit a 2.5l I6 in there. I always assumed the whole reason we went for the 2l I6 is because it's smaller than a 2.5l in terms of actual space taken up in the engine bay.

>hp per cc

I wasnt in the engine deciding threads but Im pretty sure a 2L 6 was chosen just because

>muh revs

the car is basically the size of a MA60 Supra from what Ive seen and people have gotten 2JZ and shit in there and they came with 2.8 stock (and also a 2.0L 6 base)

Those flares need smoothed out a lot, make them more like the box flares on a fox body capri

it will fit a v12 or i8 ffs
a 3.0 v6 is barely larger than a 2.5 i6
at lest when not counting width

>i8
>fitting in this

what are you smoking

the inline 6 is already close to the hood

is only slightly longer than an i6
and it can be canted

needs more doors tee bee heych

ALCO

Allied Locomotor Company

Based on the American Locomotive Company, an obscure small manufacturer of different types of engines in the 19 teens that came up with this Scrappy dog of a car. The allied denotes the international nature of Veeky Forums nowadays, the train logo of the company is a nod to me (I came up with Quattropace) because I migrated from /n/ to settle here (not expecting the train logo to survive).

>Model Year: 1985

Worse, its the eco spec. Optimized for muh mpeegees and saving the polar bears
