I hit the rev limiter in top gear at less than 200kph. How do I get past that? I see no aftermarket gearbox
[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;51281280]I hit the rev limiter in top gear at less than 200kph. How do I get past that? I see no aftermarket gearbox[/QUOTE] change the final gear ratio at the repair shop, iirc it doesn't cost that much either. Are you literally hitting 8k revs?
i'm so done everything is working, except the fact that I can't move which obviously means something is broken carburator has been configured, temperature rises as usual but I think it's the steering, handbrake is definitely off yet I can't move halp

I've finally found out why my exhaust muffler keeps hecking falling off every time. Once I save and come back later, the screw on the muffler is always unscrewed, even after I screw it back, and some people has said that the same thing happens with the brakes. I decided to check my brakes and what do you know the front wheel lining is off. Goddammit game it's already a trial through fire to survive the harsh climate of Finland don't fuck me like this. :suicide:
if its going in the garage crooked, you can go around to the front and push the sides over with j.
Took car for a test drive. Went well until I leaned over to grab a beer for my poor, thirsty virtual fin and ended up managing to flip the car horizontally 180 degrees in the air. This saves me from dying a horrible death as the back of the car slams into a tree. The car then rolls down into a ditch and gets stuck on its side. Thank god for being able to punch out the windscreen. I knew the alignment was off, but I didn't know it was going to be that bad.

I crested the next hill in the oncoming lane and hit another car. The game froze for about 3 seconds with the cars halfway into each other until I exploded into a cloud of parts. My final moments were upside down, covered in blood and beer bottles, with sirens approaching in the distance.

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51281367]checked, nada feels like the wheels aren't even turning when I turn the steering wheel[/QUOTE] Then you need to ensure a lot of things to do with the steering column and steering rack. Check the rods as well, you can lean out to see if the wheels turn when you twist the wheel.
halfshafts?

Where do you take your drunk friend?
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;51281759]Where do you take your drunk friend?[/QUOTE] On the south east road to Loppe, it's the (red?) house with an outhouse in the yard, just slow down on the road there and he'll say thanks and hand you some cash. Also, his money increased when I gave him a lift the second time, so I dunno if he keeps increasing it or if it stops at some point.
Doesn't matter. I got stopped at a DUI checkpoint and was rear ended so hard we both died instantly. The vehicular mortality rate for Finnish teenagers is really shitty man.
Déjà vu. [editline]30th October 2016[/editline] So thanks to the auto shop discount I actually managed to pay to get my whole body fixed and my wheels aligned, so now I know how to align them by hand in case the unfortunate thing happens. And apparently you can lean in through the window to reach the repair form even when it's closed.

[QUOTE=Grim2o0o;51281777]auto shop discount[/QUOTE]Where get?
[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;51281814]Where get?[/QUOTE] Dunno! I just had a 50% discount, I thought it was a 'one-time entry deal' sort of thing. [editline]30th October 2016[/editline] Also JESUS CHRIST, if you plan on leaving your car in the auto shop, tow it there with something else and collect it by towing cause that muscle car, of all things holy in this world that Ferndale is a sin in the handling department. Fits the mechanics personality I assume, considering he calls your car a "Jap piece of shit"

[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;51282003]When on dirt just keep it in 2nd.[/QUOTE] keep it in 1st and stab the throttle hard all the time.
If anyone is still wondering why the hell your car is running hot, check your oil. Running the car without the rocker cover makes it lose oil, for example when you're tuning the engine, and without oil it can't cool properly.
I have yet to reach the town and buy things, I always get lost and end up somewhere else, mainly crashed or somewhere I can't get the van out of. The fact I know little to nothing about cars will make it even better once I start building the car.
I saved up all my markkaa and dropped an envelope in the yellow mailbox at the store. When/how do I get my parts?

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;51280800]A lot of fumbling and swearing trying to precisely position it so that the little screws appear near the front of the subframe.[/QUOTE] I found it's easier to just look at the alignment of the transmission and the halfshafts.
45 hours in this game and i have yet to make a functional car :pudge:
[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;51282279]I saved up all my markkaa and dropped an envelope in the yellow mailbox at the store. When/how do I get my parts?[/QUOTE] The shop keeper will call. You pay at the counter and the boxes appear outside the door where you get fuel.
Speaking of Teimo and post, is there any way to return the post you ordered, because I don't think I can afford 11075 marks right now :pudge:
