MY SUMMER CAR is a game about car building and everlasting Finnish summer. Summer is and this game is !
Never before is a car game designed with such emphasis on realism, in bad and in a good way. Small error and you die. It could be that you forgot to tighten brake linings, or that you forgot to bolt wheels properly.
The maximum speed for the car might be only 165kmh (downhill), but it is all horror already at 80kmh. Of course, you can always order some stuff from other side of the world, and tune up the engine so that you hit 200kmh.

I am making this game because this game needs to be made. This is not made because this is fun game, but because it is NOT!

I played for a bit and I'm having fun. Question 1: Can I turn off that stupid fly sound? It's giving me a headache. Unless there's a way to kill it, I need to get rid of that sound.

My main issue is just trying to get things lined up enough to get them installed. That and figuring out what order it wants me to attach things. I don't know how to get any of the suspension bits to attach to each other or the car. How do I get the engine on the engine hoist? i found a spot where it seems like one bolt would go but I can't find the other nor can I figure out how to attach them. This is fun so far.

There is somewhat of a guide here. http://my-summer-car.wikia.com/wiki/MY_SUMMER_CAR_GUIDE_2:_ELECTRIC_BOOGALOO

In regards to the fly I saw some spray at the store

I wish the store didn't open so late. Also, is there a clock somewhere? I went to bed and figured it was morning but was dark when I got to town. Stood outside until it opened but was pretty much dead at that point.

You have to crouch really low and than grab the jack. I couldn't figure it out either.

-Truck crap hose will detach itself if too much force is applied, should help truck NOT to launch into stratosphere

-Fixed issue with clutch assembly where 'clutch cover plate' became stuck on to 'flywheel'

There is a spot for subs, now of they add in audio tuning this game will be next level. I spent way to much time in my youth doing that, and yes I had a stereo that cost 2x the car it was in.

Finally got my car running and took it too the shop. Make sure you bring your tools with you incase you need to adjust anything. I would have overheat without it! Somehow I did lose a side panel on the trip though.

Mechanic had a half off sale so that was pretty nice, though I have no idea what a few things are. (final gear change?)

His car is a pos though. Like driving on an ice rank. Hopefully that gets tweaked a bit.

Truck should also have cb radio or something. I'm at the point now where my car is built and I need to work however waiting for 30 minutes to get 3-4 calls isn't very fun. I can only watch the same music video so much.

Or letting us import videos would also work and be pretty amazing.

Also, from the suggestions forum.

I want to have 386 in this game with command line interface and BBS. But I have not included in the official list as it comes down to fact whether my colleague gets some games made for the computer and those can be imported.

IRC is awesome idea, I will check out how easy/hard it would be to implement also.

High pitched I'm thinking is your belt. You can tighten it with the car on until the noise goes away.

You'll have about as much luck doing that in game as trying it in real life though.

Steering wheel animations never seem to match up very well in driving games when using a controller/keyboard. That being said though try and drive in 2nd gear. I couldn't drive that car at all, it was like driving on an ice rink. Someone suggested driving in 2nd and that seemed to make it handle a hell of a lot better.
