OK guys i found my oil leak i think. It helps if you screw in all the bolts that hold the engine and gearbox together :DD I had missed the one that's under the carbs.
I had built the full car after 3 days, everything was on the car, but I ran out of brake fluid, so I took the van. And died in a ditch.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;51288003]So what's the dark Finnish secret to controlling the van and not having it tip over? Do I just stick a bunch of car parts in the back for weight?? [/QUOTE] It's RWD so just don't throttle while you're turning and you're fine (also don't go above 100kmh, it wasn't really coded for that)
When I turn on the ignition the car lurches forward a little bit and shuts off, but when I have it in neutral it stays on after lurching forward. Any ideas on what I should look at to fix this? Also when its in drive/reverse it slowly drops to 0 RPM and shuts off. I'm not good with cars.
Can you not pick up drunk guy in sewage truck? And where does he want to go? [editline]31st October 2016[/editline] Also, wristwatch mod plz
So I went to pick up the drunk guy, it did not go well. I was cruising down the highway at 120, when I accidentally shifted down instead of up, and I knew as soon as I heard it that i bent a piston shaft. I also heard a main bearing get jettisoned. My rockers were totally fucked, but I feel like maybe if i get that bearing back in and remove the damaged piston i can start it back up. There I was on the side of the road pulling my engines head and oil pan off with a passed out drunk in my passenger seat. I finally get everything back together and try and start it up. Holy shit it worked. Then two more pistons decided to leave the block, destroying everything in the process. I feel like I could have had it, but i was trying to start it with full throttle since it was really struggling as it had no oil, a missing piston, and a few missing rocker arms. It detonated before I had a chance to get off the gas.

So word on the street is I can the car to the garage in Loppe and have them repair it for me? I showed up and there is a guy in there but the door is locked. What do I do? [editline]31st October 2016[/editline] I don't like the look of this guy. [t]https://i.gyazo.com/5c1f345c98b0841cf21d5dd0bb49fb47.jpg[/t]

It's Halloween night so instead of partying like some kind of shitter I'm sitting in my room with the lights off cutting virtual firewood listening to this: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ9vkt7BHYI[/media]

sorry this has probably been answered before, what exactly do I do with the envelope for ordering parts? read something about a post office, where's that>?
[QUOTE=zerosix;51289755]sorry this has probably been answered before, what exactly do I do with the envelope for ordering parts? read something about a post office, where's that>?[/QUOTE] there's a box near the door to the shop, just drop it in there you'll get a call and have to go pick it up at a later date
Am I the only one that wishes you could modify the other vehicles, not just the Satsuma? I just want to roll around in the poop truck with a pimp zebra dashboard, racing tires, a double carburetor and a sick paintjob. [QUOTE=Birdman101;51289597]Is there a place youre actually suposed to put your 10000 liters of raw sewage?

With my limited experience (read: none) with building cars i managed to build it! Though a sound like a dying animal emits from the engine and it stalls sometimes, it drives! Time to crash it into a tree and start anew
Was bored and was looking through local craigsbook (facebook) listings. Found this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/SbuvqOj.png?1[/t] Real life My Summer Car time? Edit: With the confidence instilled by the God-Moderator Swebonny's winner rating, I've asked the seller what's wrong with it such that it only warrants $10. The hope is "It's ugly as fuck and I don't want it poisoning the ground water" and the expectations are "There's nothing under the hood because I sold it all/I stole it". May this be the beginning of something distinctly Finnish.
Are there any good guides on how to tune the carburetor? Also how do I keep my RPM from dropping to zero and shutting the engine off?
Turns out the game doesn't complain at all when you scale the car. Drives just fine, except it's hard to reach the steering wheel.

[QUOTE=Tea Guy;51290225]Are there any good guides on how to tune the carburetor? Also how do I keep my RPM from dropping to zero and shutting the engine off?[/QUOTE] If you mean the engine stopping while idling, that's usually caused by the engine not being warm enough to get a good mixture. Either put on the choke for a while or just rev the engine a bit and it should stay running. Also the general rule of thumb with carb tuning is darker exhaust smoke = fuel rich and white smoke = air rich. Try to shoot for a sorta light transparent looking smoke. [editline]31st October 2016[/editline] Also if you want the best carb tuning splurge for the fuel/air mix meter you can buy in the magazine and shoot for around 16.0 or so
Just made a tvtropes page, so if anyone feels like editorializing, feel free. [url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/MySummerCar[/url]
I got my engine fully assembled for the first time!
Is there a way to make Kaspersky AV not flip the fuck out when I run the game? I've whitelisted it but it still (silently) kills the game when I load a save, so I can only play when I disable Kaspersky entirely.
