Thundersmacker's Workshop

Are you going to keep it as ridiculously sporty as it is now? Normally it's a sluggish and unresponsive family carrier, somewhere around Marbelle, Willard or Glendale, with a 70 HP Inline-4 under the hood.

I'll probably just have it share the handling with the Marbelle.

You know, I actually have more fun driving slow crappy cars in IV than fast cars, especially the Marbelle and Esperanto. They aren't fast, but they're far more forgiving when you push them hard. With barely any understeer and virtually no oversteer, you can push them pretty [email protected] hard.

In game pics of the Issi...

 

 

Progress is going pretty well, I still need to do some things though. Wheels are temps at the moment but I'm not sure yet, I'll most likely have options for wheels like the other recent mods.

[unbid 5,224]

Good job! I like how you decide to match the wheel width/offset with the fenders so it won't stick out.

[Thundersmacker 6,082]

What do you guys think of the wheels? Do you like the ones I have on there now or should I change them? I'd like to hear (read) your thoughts.

[MGgames100 16,327]

Id say any wheels that look old, look good.

 

Also any plans on doing tuning parts? Would like to see some of them.

That's a crackin' little Issi you got there The rims look quite nice too, but I'd prefer them to be colorable.

I was planning on adding the obligatory fog lights on the front. I was also thinking of maybe doing a sporty model (based on the later Minis with wide fenders), and a rally version with rally wheels and a stripped interior. Although those are just plans at the moment.

[Nico 3,561]

There is something odd with the front design of this one. I know this is supposed to be a bit more representative of the real Austin Mini, but I liked more the character of TG_Stig's Issi to be honest. It's way cooler if you ask me.

Either way, I'm happy to know it's coming to IV anyway. Always loved the classic Mini since I started playing Midtown Madness 2 in 2002.

I was hoping for the roof rack and option to change the grille as well. Oh well, it will be up to you.

[unbid 5,224]

An armchair on the roof as extra might be a good easter egg for some fans of a certain British comedy show.

Reminds me how in the good ol' days in the Create Your Own Vehicle topic I created the "Weeny Grain" which was basically the Issi Classic.

Do not forget to add license plate.

[Thundersmacker 6,082]

I've been having some issues with the Issi lately and decided to scrap it and focus on something else...

 

 

Yep, that's the X80 Prototipo. I'm honestly bored of all of these classic cars, so I decided I'm going to convert all of the unappreciated super cars from the past 5 years that this game has. I'm starting with the X80, then I'll do the Tezeract, Visione, ItaliGTB, Entity XF, Reaper, and the modern Cheetah.

 

I might get back to the boring classic cars sometime next year, because that's probably when all of these amazing super cars will be done.

Too soon for april fools. Should have been less obvious too

Having the Entity in LC would have been sweet though.

[JoeVK 706]

Yep, not falling for that one, buddy. I'm an April fool's master.

[Thundersmacker 6,082]

I see you guys liked my little April Fools post, I'm not a prankster by any means but it was fun typing up that post.

 

Anyway back to the REAL progress update.

 

 

Issi is coming along great and I was honest when I said I had ran into a little snag, which is some driver clipping when turning and stuff. There isn't anything I can do about it so I just had to deal with it. I got the new wheels on there (which are colorable) and I also have added some classic bumper guards and a reversing light down on the bottom of the rear bumper.

 

The extras have been added which is 4 different variations of front grill, 2 different sets of fog lights, and the roof rack with an option to have the luggage on the top. (no arm chair sorry)

 

 

I should be able to get this thing out sometime this week, all that's left is some tiny details like the screens and download stuff.

[Nico 3,561]

Now this is starting to look really cool. Add some dark green and it's the perfect gift car for my inner English.

 

Is the flag a livery? Many years ago, before V came out, I had a friend who came to play IV with me and we always used a Mini Cooper mod which had a flag texture on the roof -an Union Jack, of course- but we liked to change the flag and use other options. The guy was a little bit too obssessed with European flags.

[Thundersmacker 6,082]

Is the flag a livery?

Yes, the flag is a livery. (you can see that it's not in the first set of pics) You'll have a choice of white top w/ hood stripes, black top, Union Jack, and a blank livery so that you can have any color you want on the top or have the whole car one solid color.

[JoeVK 706]

I will admit, I almost believed it. I read through it and was like WTF? Then I was like wait a minute, this isn't him. Oh yeah, it's April 1st.

 

The Issi's looking good, btw.

MR Bean version please

MR Bean version please

 

Sorry no Bean version, but I included a template so that you should be able to put the black hood on it.

Hi Thundersmacker

Why do not you have the European Plate in the Front Bumper?

[Thundersmacker 6,082]

Why do not you have the European Plate in the Front Bumper?

Because the game is set in the US. And every time I put a euro plate on a car, people ask me if I can put a US plate on it. I just decided to put the US plate on the front and be done.

[Claude_Lib 3,586]

And now people want you to put a European plate on it. Seriously though, extras and all, why not?

I mean, I know EU plates are illegal in States, but we've seen Rockstar ignore this on so many occasions.
