AE86 update yet again and new parts

hi, took a slight break, but im back at it for now, lel. i reworked my ae86 hatch yet again, lel. its still the ae85 blue as its a pretty nice color, but about everything besides doorhandles is color matched now. i also added goodline frontbumper, trd rear spoiler and some stickers here and there. wheels got changed too, it haz ssr mk-2r's now, one size bigger than the volks were. i changed the tune too, changed the suspension settings using v___ice's tuning calculator as per usual, and engine got retuned aswell using kino, but its still an NA 4a-ge making somewhere around 190hp.

i think this remake ended up really good and its nice to have a hatch that i actually enjoy lmao

and as per usual i also made some new parts and stuff, so here we go:

ae86 levin new lights v2

v2 of my pack of lights and grilles for levin.  

the kouki grilles were fixed and the transparency is no longer casting shadows. the licence plate lights now actually work (turns on toghether with running lights), and all of the light sources got turned into halogen color instad of led, wich fits these old cars much better.

ae86 levin new lights - custom parts

an additional pack of custom/aftermarket stuff for my headlights pack above.

universal plate lights

the most basic light model that fits pretty much anywhere, lel. turns on toghether with running lights. origin in a logical spot to make fitting it as easy as possible. just one light, you can just copy and move it to the other side once you fit one. both halogen and led variants availible.

so that will be all for today, but i already have some other new things in the works, so see you soon ;D.

small 180sx update and some parts yet again

hi, so as i mentioned at the end of the last post, theres some other things i made recently other than the ebisu. but before we get to that, even tho its not too long ago since i built this 180sx, i did some changes to it. since last time i changed the suspension settings using v___ice's tuning calculator (i actually did that with all my cars that i commonly use), so it feels much better. i also learned how to color match the custom parts much better than how i did it until now, so it looks all even now. i also did the color matching to all the other cars haha. and the last thing that changed is the wheels. it now haz ssr mk2r's, one size bigger than the formula meshes were. looks pretty good if i say so myself :D.

and now for the custom parts, besides those mr2r's i also did some more ae86 bits, these were commisioned, but theyre going public once again :D. so here we go:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SSR Mk-2R

model is originally from some wheel pack for gta5, but i have remodelled it quite a bit for better accuracy. barel and spokes are paintable separately. 2 variants availible, one with scraped off paint of the ssr logo, wich was a very common thing with those.

ae86 goodline front bumper v3

now also includes a variant for trueno (commision work), the running lights work. and while i was in there i also did some small touches to the levin one.

you will have to set Y coord to 0. done it this way to ensure the parts land exactly where they should on both 2door and 3door.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ae86 runfree flares

commision work. normally theyre meant for the rear only, as runfree kit comes with full front fenders. however, front fenders are not possible to make in this case, and it would be odd to only do the rear flares, so i fipped them and also fitted them to the front (rear right one to the front left, etc). this is sometimes done irl aswell.

2 variants availible, a normal one and one with shaved rivets, wich is also pretty common irl.

there is a separate version of the front ones for both levin and trueno, i had to shorten the trueno ones abit near the front bumper.

you will have to set Y coord to 0. done it this way to ensure the parts land exactly where they should on both 2door and 3door.

so that will be all for today. i dont have anything in the works rn, but i suppose thats gonna change soon as per usual, lel. so see you next time ;D.

ebisu touge

hi, so i made another map for carx, an ebisu touge this time :D. there are atleast 2 ebisu touges for carx already, but both are full of problems, are impropertly scaled, neither have normal map and so on, so i figured its about time to just go and do my own, lel.

as damn near every ebisu touge mod there is for any game, this one is also from nfs shift. for being 15 years old, the model held up pretty well, lel. even tho i converted this map for gta ages ago already, i decided to start fresh with a new rip straight from shift. i made some changes to it, main one is the reworked vegetation. while i ended up removing some trees, i preserved all the bushes shift had, and its all propertly scaled too. you see with shift maps, when you import them, all of the trees and bushes become the same size, so i had to rescale all of it manually. suppose thats why half of the converts of this map (my old one included lmao) usally dont have most of the bushes or any bushes at all, ppls couldnt be fucked fixing it i guess....i certainly wasnt back then with the gta one lmfao. other than that i also smoothed and retextured the road, grass got retextured too, and a bunch of small fixes and improvements here and there. ofcourse it also haz a normal map so it doesnt look like made out of plastic ingame, and all the lamps that are around the track are also functional. thanks to SAYAKA for explaining me how to set the lights and some testing :).

all in all i think it ended up really nicely :).

as per usual with new maps, i also made a preview video:

so here it is :)

that will be all for today, i actually have one more thing to post that i made before the map, but i decided to skip it for the map so thats going to be the next post. so see you soon ;).

jzx100 cresta update and some parts

hi, so i figured its time to slightly rework my cresta i did a while back, lel. power wise its still kino swapped 1jz making somewhere around 320hp, but i have changed the trans final gear and second gear ratios, so now the power delivery is much smoother. what is also much smoother now is the suspension settings, it was abit too soft before, so i changed the settings using v___ice's tuning calculator, setting the spring rates to 8kg/mm at the front and 6kg/mm at the back. handles much nicer now :D. exterior changed quite a bit too, decided to go from bn sports kit to a vertex one. it also now haz eyebrows and oem spoiler on the trunk, the roof one was removed as im not really a big fan of roof spoilers on sedans and coupes lol. it now also have hks muffler and intercooler, enkei rp03 wheels (one size up from what was on it before), and badges. in the interior i added cusco bolton rollcage, and changed seats for falcon pattern recaros. some decals got slightly rearanged and i guess that all lel.

really happy with how this turned out, not only it handles much better than how it used to, but id say it also looks much better too :D.

and as per usual, half of there changes were made using mods, lel. so here goes the stuff used on this one that was made by me:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

x100 cresta bundle

another pack thats slightly all over the place, lel. contains:

-fixed vertex front bumper (it now actually fits to the body and haz indicators, 2 variants, one is split in 2 pieces in case you want to do oem two tone like pictured)
-eyebrows
3 trunk spoilers (oem with working brake light, car koubou, vertex. the latter 2 only fit on kouki rear propertly)
-badges (unlike the ones we already have, theyre actually centered to the car lol. if you want to use the rear ones on zenki rear, you will have to move them slightly)

cusco rollcage kit

majority of rollcages in this game kinda sucks, and fitting object ones doesnt allways go very well unless it was made for the car youre trying to fit it into. i was thinking about something more universal, and sayaka's cusco halfcage gave me this idea.

contains main hoop, 2 variants of tubing, mounting plates to finish the tubing, and 2 variants of the tube mounts if you want to add x braces and what not. everything is paintable, pivots/origins are placed at logical spots to make fitting them toghether as easy as possible.

the ae86 cage pictured is just for inspo and not included, assemble it yourself :P

giko neko

old japanese meme from late 90s/early 00s. i dont know the full lore on it myself, so look it up if you care, lel.

all i know is that in late 00's, this model could be found in damn near every car mod for gta sa, especially the ones made by japanese modders. so i figured i will convert it to carx too for old times sake. and its kinda cute too lel

180SX

hi, so here goes another build :D. while i was planning to do a 180sx as i havent done one in ages, i actually wasnt planning to do it now. but i recieved a commision work offer for a few 180sx bits, it was all a pretty cool stuff that i could see me using on my own one, so i agreed to it for once. during the process of making them, i kinda figured this is all pretty good and im just gonna do one for myself using this stuff for real, i even made some extra parts outside the commision ones as i wanted to use them on it haha. i will skim over the build quickly as you can see it on the pictures anyway, a 90s style painted in rose pink metallic with some aero bits and stickers here and there. engine is the stock sr20 (not kino swapped this time), NA, making somewhere around 250hp. handles pretty well :D.

so yeah, i think it ended up pretty well, really happy with it :D.

but wait, theres more! the first thing i asked the commisioner was if this is staying private or goes public, and he sayd its going public. so here you go :).

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

180sx bundle 

a bundle of aftermarket parts, mainly from the 90s. it contains the following:

-abflug headlights (2 variants)
-"rosebud" headlights (essentially a modified stock headlights, apperantly sold as some kind of a kit)
-slightly edited and fixed chuki bumper, 2 variants of the grille at the bottom (when using the rosebud headlights, also use this bumper for best results)
-eastbear front lip for chuki bumper (2 variants)
-ganador mirrors (not perfect, based on a mesh thats 20+ years old, but better than nothing lel)
-oneline taillights (also come with 2 variants of oneline sticker)
-bwave rear spoiler (its the same one i relased some time ago, but slightly fixed)

just load it in, no moving necessary. as per usual with custom lights, choose the "empty" ones in the catalog instead of disabling them in kino.
