Mods on Street Corsa

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pontiac V8

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

Pontiac’s own V8 in the 389, 400 and 455: the GTO from its first Tri-Power to the Judge’s Ram Air III, the Ram Air IV with its round-port heads, the 455, and the 1977 Trans Am’s W72 at the end of the line. Every build comes with its gearbox, a Muncie or a Turbo Hydra-Matic, and there’s a Tri-Power crate engine with headers at the speed shops.

Buick V8

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

Two Buick V8s in one pack. The Nailhead, with its small vertical valves, from the 1958 Special’s 364 two-barrel to the 425 Super Wildcat on two four-barrels. Then the big block: the GS 400 and its Stage 1, the Wildcat 430, the GS 455 Stage 1 and the Riviera, plus a Stage 1 crate engine with headers.

Cadillac V8

Chevrolet small block

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

Chevrolet’s small block from 1955 to 1970: the 265 and its Power Pack, the 283 on two and four barrels, the L79 and the solid-lifter L76 327s, the Z/28’s 302, the 350 L48 and LT-1, a 350 restomod with a Tremec T56, and the detailed SBC 350 with its TH350. With three-speeds, Powerglides, Super T-10s and log or ram’s horn manifolds.

Its heart is Doug Broast’s “L79 Chevrolet small block COMPLETE ENGINE COMPONENTS”, a CAD model of the 1965 L79 down to the valvetrain, used with Doug’s permission: thanks, Doug! The other models come from the GrabCAD authors in the credits. If one of them is yours and you’d rather it weren’t here, open an issue and it comes out.

Chevrolet big block

Chevrolet’s Mark IV big block: the 396 from the L35 to the solid-lifter L78, the 402, the 427 from the L36 to the L71 Tri-Power and the all-aluminium ZL1, and the 454 LS5 and LS6. Every build comes with its gearbox, a Muncie M20, M21 or M22 or a Turbo Hydra-Matic, and there’s a blown 454 drag engine with a 6-71 and zoomie headers at the speed shops.

Its models are made from Jorma Rysky’s “Naturally Aspirated 454 cid V8” and “Blown 454 cid V8” (Sketchfab, CC BY 4.0), cut into parts that come apart on the stand, with our own internals, valvetrain, Muncies, Quadrajet and Tri-Power.
