Nice job on the car, with a few minor adjustments it well be quite good;

bonnet, headlights and grill remind me of an EL GT
great roll cage and driver, ?dash?
on rear doors you can still see a chopped up SV99 badge
non colour coded spoiler
lower!
Class A :confused:
steering very good on corners, shockin on straights
great exhaust
no underbody
how about hyper yellow as a colour??

I'ts a great car around bathurst but if you are looking to overtake on straights, think again, steering throws you right into the wall with just one tap on the keyboard.

monaro
01-18-2002, 10:33 PM
And get some better mags on it too, they have been done like a dogs dinna

maybe like these:

01-19-2002, 03:12 AM
thanks for the help monaro, l got a lot of work to do now


the speed&handling hasn't been changed yet, and l haven't changed it to a higher class yet because it's only a beta.......


wat u mean colour coded spoiler?

andywoo1
01-19-2002, 04:57 AM
Sorry I took so long to reply, no net till just now.

I haven't yet recieved the car :(

MattB
01-19-2002, 02:22 PM
andywoo the email l sent must not of worked.....l'll send now..


y2kgoofball, have u revieved the car yet??

monaro
01-19-2002, 02:40 PM
The spoiler is black when the rest of the car is another colour

MattB
01-19-2002, 02:50 PM
oh that, l personally like a black spoiler, it looks kinda weird having a brightyellow spoiler dont u think?


l'll see what everyone else says and then l'll change it if the majority say so

monaro
01-19-2002, 03:00 PM
change those mags too, they are getting old like i said before.
Use some with a bit of chrome, check out kevs Holden (HSV) VT Street Ute, those rims would look pretty nice on your machine

MattB
01-19-2002, 05:49 PM
andy, l'll send u the car when ur on msn next ok? cause l just sent it again, but l received an email saying some error's occured during sending the the mail.....




fark man! l made a beta and l now have so much work to do on it :<

did jase customs, y2kgoofball get the car yet?

Y2kGoofball
01-19-2002, 08:47 PM
I had a quick test drive and couldnt really see much to add.

I like it - great job Matt

01-20-2002, 12:33 AM
Yeah, got your car Y2K.

Matt, upload it somewhere private, and msg me with the location. I am behind a firewall so the only way to get things in and out from this computer is either Email or downloading/Uploading from/to the internet.

01-20-2002, 02:49 AM
Hey matt sorry i just got back on the internet today i will check out ur car soon I'll post some ideas later in the week

Y2kGoofball
01-20-2002, 02:27 PM
Hey all.

Ok Matt - I'll agree with Monaro. The front looks like an EL falcon somehow. Maybe look at making a VX version to change the headlights??

I like the black spoiler too. It just looks better on a red car for some reason.

Hyper Yellow - hmm, maybe because it's like a custom type car. It would look a bit out of the world but then again they made HSV coupe that colour!!

And the last thing was yes - the steering and speed but like you said it's a beta so that can be changed.

Otherwise great car

Y2k


Ps - Make a great cop car!! LOL :HB: :HB:

MattB
01-20-2002, 03:42 PM
ok so here is the plan.


make a HYper yellow colour for monaro?
make the car faster and turn better.
try to fix the front lights
and change the rims :)


anything else?

Y2kGoofball
01-20-2002, 05:44 PM
Yes. I have something - a set of keys to a real one. I'll stop by later to finish the paperwork!! LOL:D

I dint know about make it faster - I mean I'd say it's ok speed wise but I dont know. That's just me.

Y2k

monaro
01-20-2002, 09:43 PM
thanks for the hyper yellow too.
I dunno about sounds but wouldn't it be good if at high speed you could hear a screaming blower??

andywoo1
01-20-2002, 09:52 PM
Well Monaro, you either must be driving your car wrong or you can’t drive at all. I just had a whirl in the HSV MOD and it ran beautifully. I only found a few minor hiccups in the car, but apart from these, it’s next to perfect.

a) The SV99 logo is still on the side on the car, just before the rear wheel.
b) The reverse lights, something doesn’t look right there…
c) Engine note, sounds like a Ricer to me.
d) Rear left wheel (may be others too, but I could only notice on this one), the rim has a white fuzziness to it.

That’s all I could find wrong, but then again, it may just be that they are supposed to be this way. Forgive my spelling, as I am using my old Natural Keyboard and it’s hard to get used to it again.

It handles like a real modified Commodore should, accelerates good (not too fast like mine), and the top speed, I dunno yet, need to find a track to reach it on. Interior is an interior, but hey, not EVERYTHING is perfect. Those exhaust pipes rule too. Grill looks great, but that “thing” on the bonnet, Hmm… Strange. Also, as Monaro did say, Class A, and why don’t you make the serial number 5 (Replace that yank thing, what was it again... Oh I can’t remember, oh yeah, the Camaro).

I think that’s about it…

One more thing, Fix those colour names!

andy

MattB
01-20-2002, 10:38 PM
ok, l'll get rid of the SV99logo :> and l'll change the names for the colours, any colours that u'd like to see in the car?


l'm currently trying to change the rims and use kevs ones from his HSV UTE, but it screws the wheel up, gotta work that out.


l dont know why it sounds like a ricer, its got the same sound files as the original HSV SV99 ???

and l cant find what wrong with the rear lights? please tell me



about the scoop on the bonnet, it looks so good in wireframe &carcad.....but in when l play HS it looks like shit.
............what type of scopp should l put on it then?

l would like to thank every1 for testing the car

monaro
01-20-2002, 10:38 PM
well, andywoo, i can drive and the steering still sucks.
try and not hit the first wall around bathurst and then tell me how you went.

a) i told matt about the sv99 badge
b) reverse lights are beatiful
c) only a beta, they are default sounds
d) all the wheels are bad and hopefully he will change them

check out behind the rear guard, there is a very noticeable groove which is where the original SV99's body is connecting with the mod's VX HSV style rear starts, fix it and the bonnet up and your body mods are done.
I am having second thoughts about the black spoiler, it's growing on me

monaro
01-20-2002, 10:41 PM
go walky style or VN SS

MattB
01-20-2002, 10:46 PM
every1, this l'll made u all happy,

there will be nice new wheels soon :)

monaro
01-20-2002, 10:54 PM
beatiful, what do they look like are they off kevs hsv ute?

andywoo1
01-20-2002, 11:00 PM
Ok Monaro, so what If you told him already...

a) And your point being?
b)The reverse lights are tooo close to the tail lights, as if they have been dragged in towards them.
c) Fixed.
d) I know they are bad. So did he I think.

I would love to test any of your vehicles that you make!!
I would prefer to download them off the net rather then an email as i have a limited email account.

Also me and many of my collegues would love it if you designed a NSW Ambulance


Keep up the great work

a) you don't need to tell him again, he isn't dyslexic like you, see point B and D
b) you are blind
c) excactly
d) i can't make sense of that, does he think or you think??

Anyway, shutup. this isn't a fight I'm just pissed how you said it's my driving or i can't drive at all where the **** did you pull that from, the steering sucks and matt admits now unless you are peter brock who you aren't you couldn't drive that car without hitting a wall because of its retarted steering. so ^_^

andywoo1
01-21-2002, 02:15 AM
Look, I was not knocking your driving, all I said was that the car handles fine to me. I am probablly used to it as my car does the same.

Also, Insult me again, you will not be around to see the next post. (ie, mods will be notified.)

01-28-2002, 05:11 AM
i have a few ideas for the mod:
alot of modified and tuned cars fro nfs have xenon headlights, they look great and i think would suit your car.
NOS is very popular since the release of that no-plot, no-acting, no-idea of what speed and power is about movie so called the fast and the furious (furious because they get beaten by six-pack hemis^_^ ) since the release of the movie, holley performance products have recorded record sales in the nitrous department because mainstream idiots who follow the croud think they can run 8s and 9s on an engine that victor bray wouldn't use as a paperweight and a chassis you woudn't use as a book-end, any way back to the mod, NOS would be nice for performance reasons and in the attachment here there is a pic of a modified sv99 which uses both and pulls it off quite well i think, (let the performance speak for itself - 209mph in 2.96 seconds!!)

MattB
01-28-2002, 01:43 PM
monaro:

l aint using no NOS shit for my holden, mainly because if u wanna use NOS in a HS car u have to do this gear shifting crap(l think u put it in reverse) it's so fast u can barely turn.

if u look at some NFS sites everybody loves the F&F cars, but the way u have to use the NOS pisses em off, l dont wanna do 209mph in 2.96 seconds, thats just stupid........


about the lights, if u notice they are already Xenon headlights, l just have to make them a lil more blue.

MattB
01-29-2002, 10:36 PM
l promised that evoness will make great wheels, and he did,

check these out........l just need to do soem more tweaking, l realli wanna thank evoness for making these wheels, it's made the car a HUGE lot better :D

pass on my congrats to evoness for his job on the mags, i can now see where the 800 polys went, discs look great.
have you raked the windscreen and chopped the roof?
and have you made the lights more blue?
just the bonnet and air dam to go now, oh and the spoiler looks great

MattB
01-29-2002, 10:55 PM
hehe l thought u'd like it......

l havent been able to do anything on the car since evoness has been working on it, so l'm hoping a few days?

monaro
01-29-2002, 10:58 PM
sounds good to me

monaro
01-29-2002, 11:00 PM
hey i got a good idea, ask evoness how to colour the calipers red, that would look hsvish

MattB
01-29-2002, 11:14 PM
well l can do the myself, cause evoness made it so wateva colour l make the drivers hair the calipers will be the same :)

monaro
01-29-2002, 11:39 PM
redheads aren't that bad, what do you reckon :p

evoness
01-30-2002, 03:49 AM
hey every one,finally got around to re-regestering onto racerplanet, matt. i cant wait for the release of that car, that body kitt is pretty damn good,thanks everyone for the comments about the wheels too,thats probably my best work so far gone into those,im glad theyre going on something so good, they seem to go with the car pretty good i think :)

keep it up matt! :beer:

MattB
01-30-2002, 12:18 PM
hey evoness, u finally signed up again ?? cool :D



now since ur've shown us all u can make good parts with a shitload of polys, u gotta go and make some cars with those high poly numbers

monaro
01-30-2002, 06:13 PM
but high polys can mean game problems lower running machines, anyway, your driver doesn't have hair, he has a helmet according to my already faded memory

MattB
01-30-2002, 08:44 PM
monaro, thats why the idea of changing the calipers using the drivers hair option is so good(u cant just choose wat u want to change, there are limitations


there are yellow and red calipers so far, and a normal brown :)


the game only runs slow for me in the game menu, a race with a full grid runs perfectly for me......


the system l used
533MHZ celeron128RAM
voodoo3 3000
10GB HDD
(lucky l play alot of games on PS2 now days :D )

andywoo1
01-31-2002, 01:50 AM
Nice mags there mate. Look like they are made for Racer.

BTW: My system absolutley $H!T$ on yours too. No offence of course.

P4 1600Mhz @ 1800Mhz
ATi Radeon 8500 250/250 @ 375/280
256MB Ram (More on the way...)
30GB HDD
DVDROM
LS120

And thats just the basic stats.

I would have an AMD, but EVERY AMD I've had has scred up, even if it wasn't overclocked.

Neither do I, I "cheat" when selling my old computer for a new one. Say I bought mine for $2000, and 2 years later I want a new one, I'll sell my old one for the cost that the new one will be, which could be $1800. Get my drift...

Ps My old computer which I am still upgrading is 7 years old!

This is it's second upgrade but now I am getting a complete new case with brand new Motherboard - and it's only cost be under $150 for a 600 Mhz system with new case/Floppy/CD rom plus all the usual crap of internal network card/vid and sound card/usb etc.

andywoo1
02-01-2002, 01:38 AM
Matt: I'll msg you in MSN.

Y2K: Lol, I had a 600Mhz once, upgraded it to the 866Mhz. Also, I just re-loaded all my stuff, so I now have a dual-boot with XP/98SE. Hoping to install NFS3/4/5 onto that, along with some other games that don't work under XP.

andy

Y2kGoofball
02-01-2002, 02:34 AM
Mate a 600Mhz may not be the fastest, it does seem to run games ok on our newer machine but for $150 for a just about new system aint bad when I've been seeing the same chip (just the chip alone) worth $200-$300.

Just gotta know where to show I suppose.
