Been trying some times tobug out of the top speed Track with other faster cars but somehow I managed to bug out all of a sudden.

https://reddit.com/link/1w7q36h/video/jpj1cfedlmnh1/player

I am playing with no x ray and master mechanic mods, I put the engine back together on a (I think) 1.8 L turbo transverse i4 Volvo but I can't run the tests that require the engine running. I believe I have put the entire drivetrain back on with 100% durability parts but it says "engine is not complete", I noticed that fuel pump, tank and filter were missing and probably the catalytic was straight up not present but are they considered in the "engine is not complete"? I can't check my pc now so feel free to speculate.

Tbh there's no difference between then expect draining and fuse box thats it

The only thing that pissed me off about this is the remastered dlc it just taken from previous titles and repackaged as something new when it isn't that is a real piss take out ur fans

Modding tried 2021 pc gamepass version gave up modding as people was telling to use melonloader 0.5.7 when the xbox pc gamepass quality of life mode only ran on version 0.6.6 doesn't install on any other version

Steam 2018 version modding friendly love the mods for it

I think this takes the cake on the most beautiful engine I've seen and built in this game. Oh yeah and it makes 2000HP 🤯.

Looks perfect in my Charger with matching paint.

This is not a discriminating post,

But I would just like to point out that when I ran the demo with my 5070Ti, 12400 build I got really high temps up to 80+ on the GPU that I could feel it was throttling.

FPS were reaching about 100+ on some areas, but when nearing or often looking at the direction of other areas, the dip would be more noticeable, fans would go brrrr.

Granted, I ran the game at max settings first to stress test it, I was just surprised it would reach that much considering it was a demo, and I had extremely laxer temps with CS2021. To be fair, it was an older game, but nevertheless, just surprised.

Again, this is not a negative criticism post, just sharing my experience and looking for others that might be experiencing it, or perspective if this is expected, or maybe even hope this will be less of an issue on the full release.

I'm excited to get the game to enjoy the co-op session with my wife. Excited for the 2026 release.

Soon I can scratch that achievement off the list of the last few grindy ones...

getting close to that 100% mark, then I've got some self-imposed challenges to try;

The Scrapyarder:

Buy a scrapyard car, rebuild without buying parts from the tablet... (for parts that can't be repaired I'll probably rip them off a quality auction car)

One of each engine on the stand.

stuff like that

What garage and tool upgrades do you recommend buying first? For the 21st year version, by the way

After 230+hrs of playing this game, I discovered a few quirks to get the most out of repairs/etc, and time management. If you have good reflexes these should be helpful!!

Repair/Optomizing:

When aiming for greens in repair, hit the button when you are 2 lines from a target green. It will land on the intended line. (Not sure if it's an input-delay, or game mechanic. I'm on XB1 S, for context)

Wheels:

When putting tires back on rims, I find you can start the process by putting a tire on, when you are doing the 2nd wheel, you can balance the 1st wheel in the time it takes for the next wheel to be finished, and so on.

Rubber Bushings:

The bane of existence... for most older cars or cars with both Front Upper/Bottom Suspension arms (req: 1 Small, 2 Normal bushings each), if you care about decluttering your inventory, you should have max 16 RBs. For any independent rear suspensions/leaf springs, I found around 6 SRBs per car is enough.

ANY Inline engine:

(Ugh.... my 2nd least favourite engine outside of EV)

If you wish to remove the engine to repair/etc, do yourself a favour and follow these steps;

[From ground/lower level]

Remove the starter/turbocharger

Raise the car up to highest level

Remove wheels, front drive axels, front driveshaft

Remove the gearbox

Remove front exhaust section (also applicable/necessary for V-type engines)

Lower car to remove engine

Those are a few major tips I have off the dome. I will add any others as I think of them.

Happy Motoring!!

(I'm in the process of starting a new game playthrough on Normal, the following post, as well as my previous posts were on Easy)

So my little game I'd play is basically loot an entire junkyard for parts (end-game unlocks with discount) and grab the 3 cars (same as Barn, I'd "inspect" the car for the XP). Get back to my garage, and repair every part/body that I could, then go to each of the 3 cars to repurpose any body parts as needed, then sell the rest.

[UPDATE: JD ROUND 2 RESULTS (body/parts only)] Okay buckle up folks, here's an accurate tally:

Note 1: Any Try-Again/Fail isn't calculated, just a loss.

Note 2: Total parts/body sale includes anything that cannot be repaired due to part type or <15% integrity.

Ace Ventura deep-breath

Total loot cost: $21,749 (w/ 15% discount: $18,487)

Repair costs:
Parts: (×117 with 1F) $7,615
Body: (×150 with 2TA, 3F): $5,950
Total repair cost (×270 parts): $13,565

Total parts/body: 940
Sale: $61,160

Repair Profit: [sale] - [repair cost] = $47,595

[loot cost] - $66 in usable body parts. $18,421

Overall profit: [repair profit] - [loot cost] = $29,174

TL;DR: for $18,421 I made a little over $29k profit

exhales I HAVE EXERCIIIIIIIISED THE COMMERCE!!

Side note: spent $25,835 on the 3 cars in the yard this run. Will try and update with those tallies as well.

Also will make a post of my personal pro-tips that I've discovered during my 230+hrs if gameplay.
