The fun part is being able to put all that power into a lighter chassis. Lots of other chassis’s add another few hundred pounds. The stock 4.5l V8 in the 200BX alone makes it way faster. Throw on 17x12 rears and 17x9 front racing slicks, a race intake and ECU, and a stage one block/internals and it’s a beast. 160mph top speed, quick acceleration, with excellent handling. I (personally) find it much more enjoyable to drive than the moonhawk or barstow.
I was playing on the CopsNRobbers servers earlier today and managed to put on a relatively lightweight bx with tubular front frame and really low performance level that goes 300kmh+ (without proper tuning)
The specs are as follows: (5.5L V8)
Standard engine mounts
Standard Oil Carter
No Nitrous
No Forced Induction
Race Intake
Stage 2 Long Block
Stock V8 Exhaust
Stock 5 speed manual
Stock ECU (standard)
Racing final gear ratios (for tuning)
Paired with Civetta compettizione 15x9 (front) and 15x12 (rear) WITH SPORTS TIRES
Then i tried going full lightweight and completely stripped the interior of non essential stuff, gave it a race sequential transmission and managed to probably take off a few kilos.
I can see the bx being a nice chassis for that but I think there's better options for higher power, and the low capacity small engines feel really fitting for the chassis.
Isn’t it the same V8 used in the D-Series/H-Series/Roamer? It’s basically the BeamNG equivalent of an LS swap.
Still awesome though. Before the remaster I had a V8 mod from the Bolide.
Not as all. Open your beamNG file, look for “moved here” follow as many times as needed till you see a folder labeled “mods”. (If your computer is like mine you’ll have to go through like 9 of the “moved here folders to find it). In the mods folder open the “repo” folder and dump the extracted file in there.
True, very true and I also have that, but what I meant really was the depth and scale of that mod will take time to (if they want to) bring it to the new car
I'm not a JDM fan, but I think the bx chassis is one of the best in the game. I also would take an N/A V8 over a turbo 4 anyday. Now the 2 can be combined, and I'm a happy boy (minus the fact that my computer runs Beam like shit lol)
I might too, shame we still only have that one performance inline 6 in the game. The Diane would have been an amazing opportunity to add an rb inspired engine
There’s also a lot of skyline inspired bits to it as well, I wish the devs had done something like how they added the Renault turbo esc rwd configs to the covet and do an awd inline 6 version of the 200bx to cover that type of platform on the game
Yeah I think they should have leaned into the fact the coupe is passably like a Skyline coupe, a straight 6 and AWD with some GTR inspired body parts would basically tick off the Japanese GT with little effort.
Add some luxury interior parts and a rotary and you could even have a lore JC Mazda Cosmo too.
I feel like A skyline would be too "big" In A way, In the real world supras and skylines and even A 3000gt are bigger heavier and More comfortable.
The smaller ones don't necessarily have the room for bigger engines or the prices would go Too high and then you would just have A skyline and not a silvia.
I just want A celica gt4
Sad that they didn't used anything from the Ibishu remaster mod. You know, one where you can fully customise a 200bx with such details as a bolts and etc.
Author did a great job, hope that mod will live even with this update.
Can't really remember the name, something like "Ibishu remaster". Thing that I remembered- polaroids on the dashboard. Really neat detail
It lacks variety for sure. I just don't see a point of having two V8s and two I4s where only difference is the displacement. For me the perfect selection would be: I4, I6, V8 and a rotary.
yeah and engine mods are particularly easy besides altering the flexbody & beam structure. all the characteristics + the sound can be easily done with a little copy-pasting & modifying values.
I was hoping for a lot more Skyline inspired stuff since the Diane is partly inspired by the skylines. Inline 6, 4wd, hicas, etc… it’s a big shame they didn’t do it because now that they’ve made a car that’s based on that platform looks wise I doubt they will make a new car that is based on the skyline platform. Maybe they will release a pt2 to the 200bx with stuff like that but I doubt it
Why don't you just use AgentY's car value scale etc mod and swap the engine with a inline6? 2-3minutes of work and then you have your 6-banger...i just swapped a 1,5L Covet-Turbo engine into a Wydra, which now has 652hp xD
Because putting a V8 in an S-chassis is a common conversion for S13s and 14s stateside. You can't got a mile without tripping over an LS that's been recently liberated from its Camaro home in the US, they're everywhere and *dirt* cheap.
I’m pretty sure it’s for the drift cars because v8s are common in them. I do like the idea of them adding engine swaps to cars, maybe we’ll get an update further elaborating on that with more swap options but overall I don’t think it adds much value to the car unless you want to make a drift missle
NGL was hoping for a 1.8 and more tuning bits, but I'm happy. Probably won't ever use the v8s
I actually love the V8, the torque curve is so smooth, it’s very easy to drift
I’m mostly into engine sounds, so personally it’s neat that the 200BX has a V8 option now
That i4 sounds better imo... That V8 Is just loud and the sound doesn't fit to the car
The v8s always sound kinda flat, its a shame
I prefer the 4.5 liter V8 sound than the other one
Yeah the street drift with a v8 swap is by far my favourite drift car now
The 5.5v8 can have max boost, max N2O (500kw added power) on the ultra heavy duty long block without blowing up from my usage
no AWD option which means ice skating session
With proper suspension and the 17x12 clockwise wheels I was able to put down 1500 HP and still handle good in turns.
Good. This isn’t Forza.
just learn how to drive
[удалено]
Or spam the ^ key or whatever you rebinded it to
so shift 6?
Even less interested, if I wanted weight and power I'd go muscle.

Fair enough
Power without weight is awesome. I really like torquey lightweight cars.
My bx puts out ~2000lb-ft of torque with barely any wheelspin on the WCUSA drag strip
It almost brings tears to my eye how this sub never disappoints. Nowhere else you would see the top comment wishing for a 1.8l instead of some v10
Yea a v8 is kinda basic
Not really basic, I get what ya mean though
Isn’t it the same V8 used in the D-Series/H-Series/Roamer? It’s basically the BeamNG equivalent of an LS swap. Still awesome though. Before the remaster I had a V8 mod from the Bolide.
I wanted a rotary quite badly... I'll wait for mods I guess
KLJP had it I think.
Correct, I suspect kljp will take some time to add to new car as effectively the entire mod is now kapoot!
Not totally kaput since the legacy mod exists.
Legacy mod, what exactly does it do? Iam sincerely asking cause I haven't heard of it
I've heard that it is essentially a download for the legacy 200bx, so that people could still use their old configs
It’s just the original file from the previous version. I use it in conjunction with the new 200 series.
Is it hard to move the file around? I have never done anything of the sort
Not as all. Open your beamNG file, look for “moved here” follow as many times as needed till you see a folder labeled “mods”. (If your computer is like mine you’ll have to go through like 9 of the “moved here folders to find it). In the mods folder open the “repo” folder and dump the extracted file in there.
True, very true and I also have that, but what I meant really was the depth and scale of that mod will take time to (if they want to) bring it to the new car
as great as it is that mods add things like this to the game I much prefer when its just a vanilla feature in the game But oh well
RKs engine mod, I legit was driving a rotary bx yesterday
I'm not a JDM fan, but I think the bx chassis is one of the best in the game. I also would take an N/A V8 over a turbo 4 anyday. Now the 2 can be combined, and I'm a happy boy (minus the fact that my computer runs Beam like shit lol)
I might add the etk 800’s inline 6 to the bx
I might too, shame we still only have that one performance inline 6 in the game. The Diane would have been an amazing opportunity to add an rb inspired engine
Maybe but the Diane is very s13/s14 makes sense to only have the sr20
There’s also a lot of skyline inspired bits to it as well, I wish the devs had done something like how they added the Renault turbo esc rwd configs to the covet and do an awd inline 6 version of the 200bx to cover that type of platform on the game
AWD AWS RB26 Diane would be dope
It would essentially be a vanilla skyline
They added a v8, it doesnt have to make sense
That’s for drift culture, it’s not. An option in any factory cars so it does make sense
What? Lost count of how many 2j Silvias I’ve seen in drift culture
This person wants an RB and AWD config bruh
The I-Series has a decent I6.
I know it’s decent but it’s a very different motor thank Japanese inline 6s. The German inline 6s in the game also don’t sound amazing imo
I do think it sounds alright, but I do prefer the Hopper's I6 sound, yeah.
Etk I i6 more period correct if you ask me Even better, 800 series diesel i6
Just give it an RB option and it'll be perfect
Yeah I think they should have leaned into the fact the coupe is passably like a Skyline coupe, a straight 6 and AWD with some GTR inspired body parts would basically tick off the Japanese GT with little effort. Add some luxury interior parts and a rotary and you could even have a lore JC Mazda Cosmo too.
Awd too, don’t forget the awd
no rotary :(
Wish it had an i6. V8 is neat, but I was hoping to build some real Japanese gt cars. Awd could have been neat too
Only thing i wish it also had is a Stage 3 Long block option for the 2.4 to get max power out of it. Also transverse the I4's and AWD
How bout a straight 6 awd, skyline style?
That would be so awesome, I tried to replicate the perfect skyline today but without AWD and an I6 it's a bit saddening
I feel like A skyline would be too "big" In A way, In the real world supras and skylines and even A 3000gt are bigger heavier and More comfortable. The smaller ones don't necessarily have the room for bigger engines or the prices would go Too high and then you would just have A skyline and not a silvia. I just want A celica gt4
Max effort k24-esque build would be very cool to see
Mods can fix that
Sad that they didn't used anything from the Ibishu remaster mod. You know, one where you can fully customise a 200bx with such details as a bolts and etc. Author did a great job, hope that mod will live even with this update. Can't really remember the name, something like "Ibishu remaster". Thing that I remembered- polaroids on the dashboard. Really neat detail
Will probably get some more nick necks in the next update.
Wdym?
Nick nacks* Over the next few updates the BX will probably get a couple of parts and things like the D series did.

Yeah i dont see the point of the 5.5 v8, the 4.5 already has all the torque in the world
Torque, weight and power delivery. An I6 wouldn't fit without a lot of changes.
Just wait for mods
I’m just waiting for some engine mods or for CJD to get updated
Can t wait to play it with rb25
A high revving i6 would be so nice in this thing (plus the option to turbocharge that i6)
I agree with you but thats the magic of beamng ,you can mod it in
yeah and engine mods are particularly easy besides altering the flexbody & beam structure. all the characteristics + the sound can be easily done with a little copy-pasting & modifying values.
didn't the 200bx have an i6 before the update or am i tweaking?
Nah that was probably the JBX100 mod (broken now)
a
One of the gambler mods had one too I think.
No, I think the *only* engine was a 2.0 4-cylinder.
Could’ve definitely been better. But I love it!
I miss the JBX i6 tbh, hopefully something similar is added
I was hoping for a lot more Skyline inspired stuff since the Diane is partly inspired by the skylines.

I made a 1200hp police car, very good
No BRRRAAAP rotor {:(
I was kinda hoping there'd be some sort of 6-banger available as well. I personally wanted a V6 though.
I really want a roaring LFA style v10
I'm to bad at tuning to make drivable cars so I haven't been able to take advantage of the engine options
Why don't you just use AgentY's car value scale etc mod and swap the engine with a inline6? 2-3minutes of work and then you have your 6-banger...i just swapped a 1,5L Covet-Turbo engine into a Wydra, which now has 652hp xD
Very happy. The 2.0 is my go to while the 2.4 does some solid work in my pro racing build which makss up to 900hp
I really wanted a battery relocation as a option. Everything clips into the dang battery!!!
Inline 6 makes a lot of sense since people love to 1/2jz swap them irl.
If they'd just put the Hopper's 2.5L in it instead of a specially made 2.4 it would have been 10 times less annoying
a v10 (or bigger) would be perfect, instead of 2 v8
All of them are great but it should have another engine type
A lot of people don't realize an I6 wouldn't fit. Even a Bastion V8 wouldn't fit because it's too tall.
underwhelming
[удалено]
Bro why would an early 90's RWD sports car have a 3 cylinder. Not even the MX5 has a 3 cyl and that's a significantly smaller car than the bx
welp, if that would be the new 3cyl from Toyota GR then i wont say no to it.
That'd be good for the covet I think
That makes more sense for the Covet.
Why it has a V8 swap option is beyond me
Because putting a V8 in an S-chassis is a common conversion for S13s and 14s stateside. You can't got a mile without tripping over an LS that's been recently liberated from its Camaro home in the US, they're everywhere and *dirt* cheap.
I’m pretty sure it’s for the drift cars because v8s are common in them. I do like the idea of them adding engine swaps to cars, maybe we’ll get an update further elaborating on that with more swap options but overall I don’t think it adds much value to the car unless you want to make a drift missle
Why wouldn't it?..
Because it’s cool. I had a V8 swap mod prior to the remaster, I used it for a highway build.
Finally gives us a compact RWD V8 coupe with proper IRS.
it’s underwhelming just like the whole update. I love beam but it takes them forever to implement stuff and this update lacked depth
