Now this sounds like it will rival Trx3...

Heheheheh

Just recently I've added a unique manner of Engine Displacement Tune Ups. It's akin to an RPG, but that's all my guys will allow me to say. Let's just say that it's your "canvas"......for now.

so, what's a good year to plan on seeing this thing hit the shelves, roundabout?

It's also why I've only include the G35 Coupe; no need for the sedan if the coupe is better and the same (and looks sleeker, to boot).

However, I'm not completely done with all of the Civic models just yet.

I understand where you coming from. Just understand that this is a site of biased automotive enthusiasts. We all want OUR car in the game. I understand if you cant or dont want to put a car in. It's just a lot more shit to research and put in the game. BTW, the SIRII jdm civic will blow the '99 SI out of the water being that it has the same motor (B16A2), shorter (I think it's shorter, I don't really research these things), and is lighter. It's just a thought. Anyhow, keep up the kickass work.

Unfortunately, dude, I would not be able to tell you that as of yet. It's still up in the air and even the pre-production stages are going as we speak, i.e. the design doc script.

Project R will be underway within the official "production phases" immediately after our initial 'warm up' titles have been completed. Take heart though, it won't be THAT long.

Well honestly, we can do the absolute best that we can with capturing the accuracy of every car. Though some cars' situations are simply unavoidable and we'll only be able to use "on-paper" references and photos for certain models. Believe me, we won't be short-changing anything, dude.

The SIRII JDM Civic, huh? Quite frankly I was waiting for some Civic tuner info. I'm gonna' look that up, man. Thanks....

[elementskater15]

If you want civic tuner info, hit me up. What do you want to know? The SIRII is really just a 92-95 civic Si with a B16a2 instead of the D16.

Oh I realize that. It's just that the Civic is one of the cornerstones of the JDM Tuner market and never seems to be expressed well other than being inlcuded in an unecessary abundance (GT4). Are there any true examples of high-powered, high performance Civics that you can show me? I'm aware of CFT and now Full Race, but are there any other examples? Such as widebodies, extreme lightweight etc.

We've got a ~650 fwhp Civic sedan here in Northwest Arkansas, driver's name is Oliver. It's got a B18 pushin ~30psi through a good sized snail.

[gigglesnirt]

i just thought of something, what if this game was built kind of like world of warcraft in that it has a giant world your able to cruise, and its multiplayer, and while just driving around if you see someone you can race them or something, it was just kinda a weird thought i had....

[elementskater15]

You should chech out toda racing. They primarily do NA parts. http://www.todaracing.com/

And I'm sure you already have spoon and mugen.
Skunk2 also makes some kickass parts for
the B-series motors.

WTF?! 650whp?! Holy GOD, man, that's Super Car Class status!!! The B18 engine is which one exactly? I know that the B16 is used in Civics and Integras, but where does the B18 stem from.

There's something like that already setup, but it won't take up the entire online experience. They're the roll-on races that can be done in realtime along highway regions. We'll have to build the highway setup specifically for that; a homage to the TXR series.

I thought B18's came in some Integras. I have no clue though, I'm a Ford guy.
