Hey! Quit touching my junk!
So uh, how does one use the jerrycans? And where did you get the flashlight.

Also, in my first ten minutes I rolled the loving van down a slope.

My first death that wasn't remotely my fault--I stopped on the road to read a sign and another car hit me, which didn't damage the van but did spill my precious, precious groceries and motor oil all over the road. Then, as I was picking them up:



That moment-of-death screenshot though :allears:


goty 2017 and I haven't even started putting the car together yet

I'd say my best death so far was having one of the many dead policemen in my van clip through the floor, and flip it end over end into the ground.

I dropped my #2 sparkplug into the loving engine.

Okay, so I reloaded to find the spark plug. I got almost everything else installed, but the fuel strainer and brake lines both give me the nogo symbol.

Did I gently caress my bodywork up too badly?

Also, where are the fender #5 bolts

holy poo poo the pump truck and tractor have range modes for speed on "R". blew my mind out of my rear end in a top hat one I realized I could go pump'n over 40kph

You can finally sideswipe that motherfucking green bassy satsuma into the trees.

Speaking of exhaust issues: I stuck the tractor under the rear end, and got the front all the way up on the wheels. Two tries and then spinning it around to get it just the right way and voila, exhaust is on.

That car is in the lake now, though. It turned over once, then never started again.

The car actually runs for me! Except it ran for a few seconds and then... this.



Is this a simple fix or

You didn't bolt the back of the engine in, did you?

Mine wiggled the engine up out of the bay over the fender, after shooting the half shafts from the sides.

I remember doing so. But I'll have to make sure before I start again. I get the feeling there's more bolts to tighten when it comes to engine-to-car connections.

Edit: Actually there's two front bolts. Now I get the squealing everyone else gets.

Edit 2: Squealing stopped. Now to figure out how to get this thing actually moving. And maybe figure out how to reverse.

Ah, there we go!

I was getting the squealing, if I choked to the right level and pumped the throttle I could start the car, roll it back and forward, then it'd die. I tried giving it a few ginger revs with the choke all the way out, only to have a piston vanish into the stratosphere.

Downloaded a save as I wanted to see what it's like. Made the highway, got up to 140, and suddenly the loving thing dies. Can't start it. Got out, and watched a few Saabs rear end it, before technoviking front ended the car sending panels and parts everywhere.

Alright then.

Beer case motor mounting is way better than using the motor hoist. Just takes a minute to figure out how to position the two things.

I guess you could say the Satsuma has a crate motor.

Also fun fact: not sleeping by Tuesday afternoon gives you a heart attack.

I finally got it running last night. It looks like most of my issues were related to valve timings being turned down too low, same with carb.

Two things.

How fast am I supposed to be revving? Less than a second on the throttle in neutral and I'm at redline.

I was noodling with the carb, and now the fan belt eventually stops spinning, and she overheats bad. What did I do? I tried to turn the idle screw back down, the rad is mounted, as are the hoses, and the loop is filled with coolant...

loving hell. I keep failing the inspection on #18, kopi.

What's wrong with the body, rear end in a top hat. Everything is bolted down, it's been painted, the interior is there, and nothing's bent.

Ah gently caress sakes

-Police spawning is now randomized

Also, I found out why my basket didn't pass inspection. The rear bumper wasn't bolted on.

Which means I passed inspection! Only to back my car straight into the ditch leaving the garage.

For real. I took several lives before I finally made it to the shop and back in one piece, and even then I still flipped the van.

It's pretty awesome when you flip the van by the mailboxes near your house.
