I disappeared down the rabbit hole and have been having some "fun" (ie, not fun) with this car for most of the day after the open invitation for people to try and improve it. I hope I've gone some way towards that, especially for cockpit users.
A lot more time could be spent tweaking this car but it's not the easiest model to work on.
I've edited the changelog thus:
1.2 Updates by Mascot 20.01.2020:
-UI information added, inc driver, team, car number
(based on the #11 KDR30 Super Silhouette entered by Hasemi Motorsport TOMICA at the 1982 Fuji Super Silhouette Series, driven by Masahiro Hasemi)
-manual shifting animation added (not perfect, but close. Preload adjusted for high-revving engine)
-many shader adjustments inside and out
(almost all ambient, diffuse and specular values were very odd, but direct sun should no longer causes horrendous nuclear glare on tweaked objects)
-exterior paint, decals, wheel caps all darkened slightly, diffuse values altered for a more natural look
-many cockpit materials desaturated for a more subtle, less 'cartoony' ambience
-MOMO driver suit, gloves and helmet added to replace default white Sparco ones
-centre console, steering wheel and dashboard rivets still need sorting out.
Note: be very careful before attempting to tweak this car as it will involve a lot of trial-and-error. Object grouping is almost non-existent and Kunos shader values are redundant.
I don't know where the original model came from but it contains a lot of hidden geometry that is just bloating the model unnecessarily and reducing performance.
Some objects (eg the rivets, and there are a LOT of them) are downright weird. You have been warned.
NOTE:
THIS WILL REPLACE YOUR EXISTING CAR SO RENAME THAT FOLDER FIRST IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT.

@TonySSS isn't this car the R30, rather than the R31? The Hasemi Motorsport TOMICA #11 from 1982/1983 season (which this car seems based on) was an R30, I think, not an R31. Might be wrong.
