Street Rod

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The career Street Corsa was made for. Los Angeles, 1970: you start with a little money and a tired old car off a lot. Pull it apart, build its engine on the stand part by part, buy from the dealers, the speed shops and the paper, and race the diners’ regulars on Main Street for cash and pink slips, until the King of the streets will race you.

Take it apart

Parts view: the car turns see-through and every part is yours to take off

Press Parts and the car turns see-through: wheels, brakes, springs, the axle, the gearbox, the engine. Click a part and take it off, and it goes on your parts shelf. Things come off in order, like on a real car: the radiator before the engine, the wheels before the brakes, and the game tells you what’s in the way. Put the car up on the lift to get underneath.

Street Rod garage

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The workshop Street Rod is played from: a cinder-block garage with a lift in the middle, and everything standing round it. The benches and the tool chests, the welder and the compressor, the drill press and the vise, jerrycans, oil drums, old tyres, a creeper, the engine stand and the hoist. Your car sits on the lift; every place in it is a button round the car. The garage’s air comes with it.

Your first mod

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A mod is a folder with a mod.json and some JSON files. No coding.

Try the example

Get the example mod: examples/mods/small_imports in the game’s repository.
Copy the folder into the game’s Content folder. On the main screen: New Game → Open the Content folder.
Start the game. It adds four small European cars, their engines and speed parts, a shop, a car lot, a rival and a race night.

Make it yours

Copy small_imports and rename the folder.
In mod.json, change id, name and author. The id must be unique.
Change or delete the files you don’t need.

{
 "id": "mymod",
 "name": "My Mod",
 "version": "1.0",
 "author": "you",
 "type": "addon"
}

If the game can’t read something, it tells you at start-up. The game’s log lists every mod it loaded.

First steps

New game

New Game: your name, then a setting

NEW GAME, type your name.
Pick a setting. Install one first: see Install.
Pick a difficulty: Easy, Normal or Hard.
Start Game.

Your first day

The garage: every place is a button round your car

You start with $10,000 (on Normal) and no car.

Car dealers (garage, bottom left): drive to a lot, pick a car, BUY IT. Or look in the Newspaper for private sellers.
Gas station: fill the tank. Fuel and oil carry over between races.
Go race!: pick a diner and challenge someone, or enter an invitation.
Back in the garage, spend your winnings on parts.

Time

Days run from 8:00 to 22:00. Everything takes time: driving, shopping, racing, wrenching.
Calendar → End Day skips to tomorrow morning.
Overnight, shops restock, rivals race each other and new races are posted.

People who talk back

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Street Corsa can use your own AI to give the town a voice. You type what you say, and the person answers in their own words. It’s optional and off by default. Without it the game plays the same, only nobody talks back: the junkyard’s Haggle and the buyers who answer your ad still bargain, by the game’s own rules.

What it does

Sellers. Go to see a car from the paper and the seller comes out to the curb. On a part ad, Call the seller. Ask about it, then haggle.
Salesmen. On a dealer’s lot the salesman comes over as you arrive, talks up the lot and tells you about each car you pick.
Rivals. Talk to a rival at the Diner or at the Cruise curb. They know your car part by part, their own, and every race you’ve had.
Buyers. When someone answers your ad, Call the buyer and talk them up. Push too hard and they walk.
Clerks and machinists. Ask the parts shop for “something cheap that fits my car” and the clerk finds it on the shelves. Ask the machinist which work gains the most.
The town’s words. The ads in the paper, its stories and the Diner’s street talk get rewritten in the setting’s voice.
Portraits. With ComfyUI, tick Paint new rivals’ portraits with ComfyUI and each new rival gets a picture of their own.

People remember you: what you talked about, the prices you named, what you bought from them and sold them, the races you won and lost, a pink slip. Insult a seller and they’ll be sore next time. Beat a rival and they’ll bring it up.

Street Rod gas station

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Street Rod’s gas station: Crossroads Gas, out where the road leaves town. Four pumps under the canopy, the office with its soda machine and chalkboard, a tow truck behind it and old cars parked round the lot. You drive in off the road and stop at the island; the attendant fills the tank, checks the oil, washes the car, and sends the tow truck when your car can’t make it there on its own. The bell over the drive, the pump running and the air of the place come with it.

The modding guide covers every file a mod can have: parts, cars, sounds, dealers, racers, events, streets, diners, words, rules, the look and more.

It is long. Look up the content type you need.

Touge Nights

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Gunma, 2002. A tired AE86 in the garage and turbo coupes on the mountain passes after dark: tune your engine, win touge runs and drift battles, and take the night wind’s car.

It races the Kunos Japanese cars, so it needs Assetto Corsa’s Japanese Pack. It plays in Assetto Corsa’s own showroom until it has a garage of its own, and its engines don’t have 3D models yet: the in-game pictures will come with them.

Around town

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Car dealers: pick a lot and drive out

Everything starts in your garage. Trips take time: far places can’t be done in one day.

Place	What for
Car dealers	Buy cars. Lots come and go; a closing lot has a sale.
Newspaper	Cars and parts from private sellers and rivals. Sell your own car here.
Part dealers	Specialists, speed shops, tyre shops and junkyards. Stock is limited. Mail order has everything, takes 3 days.
Machine shop	On the part dealers’ map. Bore, grind, port: leave the part, it comes back days later.
Gas station	Fuel, oil, a wash. The attendant tells you what’s worn.
Paint booth	New colour. Fix rust and dents first (Repairs).
Go race!	Diners, the street, invitations, Free Run, Test & Tune.
Your cars	Your warehouse. TAKE THIS CAR brings one into the garage.

The Newspaper: private sellers, rivals, parts

A parts shop: what's on the shelves, the clerk at the counter

Changelog

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

0.1.4

Street Rod 0.4.0: its places are mods of their own. The garage, the gas station, the shops (the paint booth, the part and machine shops, the warehouse) and Main Street with its diners each come in a download of their own, with their own version, so they can be swapped. They come inside Street Rod’s download: installing it from Mod Manager → Install mods puts in the setting and all four. Your saves carry over.
Modders can replace a place. A mod that plays in Street Rod can put in a garage, a station, a room or street pieces of its own, or take Street Rod’s out. Each place’s files are on SourceForge; see the modding guide.
Each place brings its own sounds: the garage’s air goes with the garage, the street’s and the diners’ with Main Street.

0.1.3

Every engine the right way round. The engine packs were built as mirror images of the real engines; all twelve are fixed. Download the new versions and install them from Mod Manager → Install mods.
Street Rod 0.1.1. The carburettors, air cleaners and blower that fit any engine are the right way round too. Every rim and tyre has a model again, two wheels that faced the wrong way are fixed, and a few cars’ engines sit better in their bays.
Your car comes home after a race. Whenever it can still run, it drives into the garage. A car you win comes home and is the one selected. A car that won’t run is towed home, and you pay the tow.
Lamps cast shadows indoors. The garage, the shops, the car lot and the paint booth are lit by their lamps, so cars and props stand on the floor, day and night.
Smoother moving scenes. A car driving in, the lift, the engine hoist and a revving engine cost less to draw.
The garage’s wheels and springs. A tyre you take off is gone from the car. The car comes down off the lift only with a tyre on every rim. A bare rim shows and can be picked. A rear corner takes one spring, coil or leaf.
Lowered cars keep their tyres’ shadows on the floor.
Many fixes from a code audit: safer mod installs, each rival in a field race gets their own result, and a quicker first start after a race.

0.1.2

A new racer window at the diner. Back and close sit in the window’s title bar. The race, the matchup and the stakes are side by side, and cash or pink slips is one click.
Pick the diner’s track from cards with pictures, a search box and a DRAG or ROAD tag on each.
A rival’s reputation tells you more. Hover the figure beside their name to see what their standing means and how they stack up against you.
The race result card in Assetto Corsa says what was at stake. A pink-slip win or loss now says so, and the card is bigger and easier to read.
New Assetto Corsa cars show up in your next game without restarting Street Corsa. A new Assetto Corsa folder in Settings takes effect at once.
A step line and a progress bar show what the game is doing while it loads.
Settings sit in two columns on a wide screen, with one Save button for what you type. The credits have a screen of their own.
The Mod Manager’s buttons are along the top.

0.1.1

Uninstall asks about your things. Tick Keep my saves, settings and mods to keep them for the next install, or leave it unticked to remove them with the game. An uninstall without the wizard (winget, msiexec /x) always keeps them.
The uninstaller says what it did, including when Assetto Corsa was still running and kept a race’s changes.
Mods installed with the Mod Manager play in your next game without restarting Street Corsa.
New mods show up in an old save at once. Loading a game with new or updated mods restocks the part shops and junkyards and refreshes the car lots and the paper. Your cars and the parts you sold to a junkyard stay. A note tells you what changed.
A loader covers the screen while mods install.
The installer and Windows’ Apps list show the game’s own icon.

0.1.0

First public version (early access).

Improve the engine packs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The engine packs are open to modders. Better models, a missing intake, a gearbox that’s wrong for its year: if you can make a pack better, you can work on it and it ships in the pack’s next release, with your name in its credits.

The packs’ files are on SourceForge, in the Street Corsa Mods project: one Subversion (SVN) repository per pack, with the modding wiki and a tracker for tickets.

Street Rod shops

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The rooms Street Rod drives you into. The part shops’ inside, with its shelves and counter, where every specialist and speed shop in town shows its stock. The machine shop, where the blocks get bored and the heads milled. The paint booth, with the painter going round your car with his gun. And the warehouse at the car lot, a car in each bay. Each comes with its own air: the shop’s hum, the machine shop’s, the booth’s fans and the gun, the warehouse’s echo.

Street Rod Main Street

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Street Rod’s Main Street: the street where the racers meet, in front of the diner, and cruise looking for a race. Low shops along both sides, ranch houses down the cross street, palms, street lights, signals and signs, cars parked at the curbs. It comes with the street kit it’s laid out with: 86 pieces, from the shops and the houses to the parking meters, and every save lays the street out its own way. The street’s air and the diners’ come with it.

The garage

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Moving around

Bush DAC10 radio

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A 1950 Bush DAC10 for the garage, sitting on the welder. Click it to open the radio panel and put some music on while you work on the car.

Racing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Go race: invitations, Free Run, Test & Tune and the streets

Press Go race! in the garage.

Where

The diners: each has its regulars and a horsepower class

Diners: pick a racer, a race and a bet. Each diner has a horsepower class; the fast ones won’t race a slow car.
The street (CRUISE THE STREETS at a diner): wait at the curb, someone pulls up and offers a race.
Invitations: events with prizes and entry rules.
Free Run and Test & Tune: practice, nothing at stake.

Races

Drag: a quarter mile. Can be a bracket race: run quicker than your dial-in and you lose.
Road race: a lap of a circuit.
Time attack: three laps, best lap wins.

Bets

Cash: bigger at night and with well-known racers.
Pink slips: the winner takes the loser’s car.

Jumping the start is no contest. Quitting a race counts as a loss.

Ford’s first overhead-valve V8, 1954 to 1964, with its deep skirt and shaft rockers: the 239, the 256 and 272 of the cars and the F-100, the Thunderbird’s 292 and 312, and the 1957 E-code with two four-barrels. With the 3-speed, the 3-speed with overdrive and the Ford-O-Matic, and a 312 hot rod at the speed shops: Isky cam, headers and a tall velocity stack on its four-barrel.

Ford Falcon six

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The pushrod inline six of the Argentine Ford Falcon: the 188 and the 221, the Sprint’s 221 SP and Oreste Berta’s racing 221. It also goes into the cars that came with a six of its kind.

Lincoln-Mercury V8

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Two generations of Lincoln-Mercury V8. The Lincoln Y-block, 317 to 368, from the ‘52 Cosmopolitan to the Continental Mark II and the ‘57 Premiere. Then the MEL big block: the Mercury 383 Marauder, the Edsel 410, the Super Marauder 430 on three two-barrels, the Continental’s 430 and 462. Plus a Super Marauder crate engine.

Oldsmobile V8

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Oldsmobile’s big block in the 400 and the 455: the ‘66 L69 Tri-Carb, the 4-4-2, the W-30 with its Force-Air scoops and, on the 455, its aluminium intake, and the Hurst/Olds. Muncies and Turbo Hydra-Matics, and a W-30 crate engine with headers.

An eighth car for Assetto Corsa: the 1971 Cutlass Supreme

Sat, 14 Nov 2026 23:30:00 +0000

One more for AC Mods: the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Holiday Sedan 1971, for Assetto Corsa on its own. No Street Corsa needed.

The 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Holiday Sedan in Matador Red

It’s the four-door hardtop with the standard Rocket 350 four-barrel: 260 hp, the Turbo Hydra-matic and the 2.56 axle, with the physics written from Oldsmobile’s 1971 dealer specifications book and an engine sound made in engine-sim from the Oldsmobile V8. The interior is all new, built from photos of real cars, down to the walnut-grain cluster with its three round gauges. It has sixteen skins, the model’s blue and the fifteen 1971 Oldsmobile intermediate colours, numbered as Oldsmobile numbered them, and each one comes with the interior trim the factory recommended for it.

A seventh car for Assetto Corsa: the 1960 Impala

Fri, 13 Nov 2026 23:45:00 +0000

One more for AC Mods: the Chevrolet Impala Sedan 1960, for Assetto Corsa on its own. No Street Corsa needed.

The 1960 Chevrolet Impala in Roman Red

It’s the four-door sedan with the optional 348 Turbo-Thrust V8: a Carter four-barrel, 250 hp, the two-speed Powerglide, the X-frame and 7.50-14 whitewalls, with the physics written from the 1960 factory figures and an engine sound made in engine-sim from the W engine. It has twenty-four skins, the fourteen 1960 Chevrolet colours and the ten factory two-tones, numbered as Chevrolet numbered them. Each one comes with an Impala houndstooth interior in its own trim.

Six classic cars for Assetto Corsa

Fri, 13 Nov 2026 23:30:00 +0000

We’ve released six cars for Assetto Corsa itself. They don’t need Street Corsa: drag the zip onto Content Manager and drive. They have a page of their own on the site, AC Mods, apart from the game’s downloads.

The 1963 Buick Riviera in Marlin Blue

Ford V8 Pickup 1932: the closed-cab pickup with the 221 flathead V8, wire wheels and an ahooga horn.
Chevrolet Master DeLuxe Coupe 1937: the business coupe with the Blue Flame six and Knee-Action front end.
Buick Roadmaster Skylark 1953: the 50th-anniversary convertible, 1,690 built, on Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels.
Buick Roadmaster 1957: the Riviera hardtop with the 364 Nailhead and the horizontal speedometer.
Buick Riviera 1963: the first-year Riviera, 401 Nailhead and walnut console.
Plymouth Satellite Sebring 1971: the hardtop with the 383 four-barrel and TorqueFlite.

Each one has its physics written from the factory figures, an engine sound made in engine-sim from its own engine, working gauges, and the colours it came in, named as the maker named them: 71 skins between the six. Custom Shaders Patch is recommended.

Street Corsa 0.1.4

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 02:30:00 +0000

Street Corsa 0.1.4 is out, with Street Rod 0.4.0. Get them on the downloads page; the game installs over any earlier version and your saves carry over.

The painter at work in Street Rod's paint booth

Street Rod’s places are mods of their own now, each with its own version:

The garage: the workshop the game is played from, and everything standing in it.
The gas station: Crossroads Gas and its attendant.
The shops: the paint booth, the part and machine shops, and the warehouse.
Main Street: the street the racers meet on, its diners and the kit it’s laid out with.

They all come inside Street Rod’s download: to update, install the new Street Rod zip from the main screen, Mod Manager → Install mods, and it puts the setting and its four places in.

Street Corsa 0.1.3

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Street Corsa 0.1.3 is out. Get it on the downloads page; it installs over any earlier version.

A Chevy 283 on the stand, the right way round

Every engine the right way round. The twelve engine packs are fixed (see the news), and the pictures on this site are shot again.
Street Rod 0.1.1. The carburettors, air cleaners and blower that fit any engine are the right way round too. Every rim and tyre has a model again, and two wheels that faced the wrong way are fixed.
Lamps cast shadows indoors. The garage, the shops, the car lot and the paint booth are lit by their lamps, so cars and props stand on the floor, day and night.
Smoother moving scenes. A car driving in, the lift, the engine hoist and a revving engine cost less to draw.
Your car comes home after a race. Whenever it can still run, it drives into the garage. A car that won’t run is towed home.
The garage’s wheels and springs. A tyre you take off is gone from the car, and a bare rim shows and can be picked.

To update a setting or an engine pack, install the new zip from the main screen: Mod Manager → Install mods. Everything that changed is in the changelog.

Every engine the right way round

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 00:30:00 +0000

Putting the L79 next to Doug Broast’s own renders of his model showed something wrong: our engine was its mirror image. The starter and the fuel pump were on the driver’s side, and the oil filter and the generator were on the passenger’s.

It wasn’t just the L79. Every engine pack was drawn the same way, so all of them came out mirrored. They are all fixed now: every part sits on the same side it does on the real engine.

Three more engine packs: Chevrolet big block, Ford FE and Y-block

Tue, 10 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Three more engine packs for Street Rod are out. Grab them on the downloads page.

Chevrolet big block: the Mark IV 396, 402, 427 and 454, from the L35 to the L71 Tri-Power, the aluminium ZL1 and the LS6, and a blown 454 drag engine. The Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, El Caminos, Impalas and Corvettes that came with one get it.
Ford FE: the 352, 390, 406, 427 and 428, from the Galaxie’s two-barrel to the Shelby GT500’s Cobra Jet, and the 427 on its Weber cross-ram, as in the GT40. For the Galaxies, the Fairlane GT, the Thunderbird, the Shelbys, the Cobra 427, the Mustang Mach 1 and the F-350.
Ford Y-block: the 239 to the Thunderbird 312 and the 1957 E-code dual quad, with a 312 hot rod on a velocity stack at the speed shops. For the 1956 F-100.

Each one installs like the others: Mod Manager → Install mods, pick the zip.

The Chevrolet small block is out

Mon, 09 Nov 2026 22:00:00 +0000

The Chevrolet small block engine pack is on the downloads page: eighteen builds, from the 1955 265 to the 1970 LT-1, with the L79 and L76 327s, the Z/28 302, a T56 restomod and the detailed SBC 350.

It’s built on Doug Broast’s L79 327, a CAD model of the whole engine down to the valvetrain, that Doug let us use in the game. Thanks, Doug! Every part comes off on the stand.

The engine packs are open to modders

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 18:00:00 +0000

The engine packs were made to be built on, and now you can. Their files are on SourceForge, in the Street Corsa Mods project, one repository per pack:

Buick V8, Cadillac V8, Chevrolet W, Ford 385, Ford Cleveland, Ford Falcon six, Lincoln-Mercury V8, Oldsmobile V8 and Pontiac V8

Anyone can download them and look inside. If you’d like to make one better (a more detailed block, a missing intake), ask to join with a ticket: you get your own branch to work on, and what’s merged goes out in the pack’s next release, with your name in its credits.

Street Corsa 0.1.2

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Street Corsa 0.1.2 is out. Get it on the downloads page; it installs over 0.1.1 or 0.1.0.

A new racer window at the diner. The race, the matchup and the stakes side by side, and the track picked from cards with pictures.
A rival’s reputation tells you more: what their standing means and how they stack up against you.
The race result card in Assetto Corsa says what was at stake, pink slips included, and is easier to read.
New Assetto Corsa cars show up in your next game without restarting Street Corsa.
Settings in two columns, one Save button, and the credits on a screen of their own.

The settings and engine packs are the same as before. Everything that changed is in the changelog.

Street Corsa 0.1.1

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Street Corsa 0.1.1 is out. Get it on the downloads page; it installs over 0.1.0.

Uninstall asks about your saves, settings and mods. Keep them for the next install, or remove them with the game.
Mods installed with the Mod Manager play in your next game, without restarting Street Corsa.
New mods show up in an old save at once. Shops, junkyards, car lots and the paper restock when you load it. Your own cars stay as they are.

The settings and engine packs are the same as before. Everything that changed is in the changelog.

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The first engine packs are out, for the Street Rod setting. Grab them on the downloads page.
