Fun with CarX

hi, its been a while again, lel. when it comes to modding, i havent touched gta in a few years now again, honestly after all these years i really might be kinda bored of it...but lately ive been messing with carx quite a bit. so far i really like it, drifting there feels pretty similar to what im used to from gta, modding it is pretty easy and the map and car selection is really nice, making mods for it isnt that bad either too...might this actually actually be something worth replacing gta with? ive been looking for something like that for years now as doing this in open world game simply comes with its downsides. i tryed various games over the years but allways ran into some problems that made me go back to gta, but with carx, so far i havent ran into any major dealbreaker. well, well see what will happen, haha.

for now let me show you what ive been working on so far.

first up is my first build, an aa63 carina, because ofcourse i had to just choose one of the most overlooked cars on the car list lmao. a low hp build (lowest i could get without kino atleast), build to be as close to the real gt-r trim, and while it might not look like it, it involved quite a bit of livery work. basically all the black trims on the bumpers, sides, and various stuff like this, majority of it has been done by me. also the yellow is based on an actual carina brochure. the advan decals and windshield banner are by me, rest is from discord. i also added modded foglights, ultranorsk and licence plates using kino. someone might have recognised the wheels. its my old tom's igeta's that i recently converted to carx :D yeah, i already started to dig into it myself, haha. i think thats really all there is to this car.


 
 
 i really enjoy driving this one, easy to handle, and im really happy how it ended up looking like :D. i actually also recorded a video with it (from a replay) wich also didnt happen in years lmao. its been recorded during the time i was working on this carina so its not 100% finished look wise there, also the back fire was kinda messed up at the time of recording (fixed it since then) and its prolly not the cleanest run on ohiradai you will ever see as im still getting the hang of it, but i think it ended up pretty good :D
 



next up is this advan trueno. honestly i dont think i can really call this a build yet. the main purpose of even doing this was to practice with the livery editor, and i figured advan livery is an easy place to start, so i made this whole design myself :D. other than that there really isnt much to it besides kino licenceplates and ultranorsk because ofcourse. i think im gonna work on this some more pretty soon, but im not sure if i will actually keep it in advan livery. well see haha.



 so yeah, thats all for now but its deffo not all for carx, as i have a bunch of ideas for custom parts, wheels and builds. it might actually be quite abit less than several years till the next post, so see you then ;D.
