Thanks for reviewing my mod!
A couple things:


3:30 I wanted it to roll over easily but unfortunately beamng's tire physics wont let it do that with the stock tires. definitely will roll with the race tires, which is why I had to make the race versions so wide.

7:19 its actually based on youtuber Nightride's Hijet named Kevin (a showcar so not really meant for performance), which is also where I got the inspiration for this mod (as well as many reference images from their videos).

for the race configs, I tried really hard to stop the back from lifting up (which is whats causing the rear brakes to lock up and make you spin out) but it did not want to work. Ultimately the poor handling is down to my inexperience as a modder, but I have certainly improved along the creation of this mod. The short wheel base and relatively high center of gravity certainly doesn't help. For now, your best bet is to just be really careful with the brakes, and I will try to improve it in the future. (Also I usually do a lot of left foot braking and that usually helps with the understeer).

Awesome video bro!

7:25 i is acctualy a reference to a kei van fron poloand grom the Channel nightride . They swapped it with a 660 cc motorbike engine and lowered it

This Kei Van got released faster than all the other mods that are 5 times longer in development, I would really like to see something like Audi 100 Coupe or old 70s convertibles

7:30 I think that the config Kevin is based of a keivan made by Nightride that basicly put a motorcylcle in the back of this thing and it was powering it rear wheels

i literally just uploaded a vid on this as my first beamng mod video. Guess my adventures starts here. Nice video as always btw!

The kevin variant is a recreated kei van of a polish youtube chanel Night Ride but irl its powerd by a bike

[loreczek]

I love your mod reviews man, they helped me get back to BeamNG

[Auris]

Its cool to see more lore friendly cars

[potassium]

kevin is referencing polish drift kei van build by Nightride with that name that ended up winning hot wheels car of the year award. the only thing it missing is motorbike powering it

[Kondzi]

7:30 Its reference to Kevin from Nightride from YouTube. It's old Kevin, now its modification and have a motorbike inside

Very nice mod, I'm sad it makes my game run like dog poop, but oh well. Also, this also looks like an OG Piaggio Porter, so many memories from these vans!

[AdaBow]

This Kei van looks very interesting! The detail where you lift up the seats to view the engine is very clever! I wonder if this is how it worked in the real life vehicle? 🤔 I'm excited to see the updates for this mod 👍

[AviationIsCool-czlw]

wow very nice van!! it looks like a great mod, but i have like WAYYY too many mods so this will probably kill my computer lol

[acompassdirection]

Theres been so many kei car mods this year!

[silliestofgoobers]

Such a cute car!!! I’ve always wanted to drive a kei van in beamng and now I may! :3

[pandahp]

It's not a problem with the brakes, you need to Rev match on the downshift otherwise wise the rear diff locks up and acts as a handbrake. It's a common thing on faster/race cars

[Matteoo]

Yeah haha i saw it on the repo, immediately downloaded it, very good mod!!!

[Ryan_R]

I love kei vans, Even if they are not the fastest they are still good:)
