S.M.U.T.
Toyota Caldina GT-Four '02
Recently @
ObscureSerenity was looking for a Caldina tune. @
DigitalBaka remembered that this was one of Ol'Harvey's favorites and pointed him in the Wallbanger's direction.
Now a lot of people see a Caldina and think, "bleh, just another people hauler for Soccer Moms to transport the kiddies in." Ol'Harvey however, saw that GT-Four badging by Toyota and figured they wouldn't be crass enough to put one of their most renowned badges on an underperforming MPV.
The Wallbanger quickly code named the project S.M.U.T. which when asked he proudly announced stood for S.occer M.oms U.ltimate T.ransport.
Uhm...anyways he's created two versions and both are definitely competitive in their classes so go ahead and deliver the kids to school, drop off the cleaning, pick up the groceries and have a nice relaxing bubble bath before putting in a few laps at your favorite track with some S.M.U.T.!
First up is the 450PP "Lite Edition" which focuses mainly on improving the handling. Put on a diet and given a top notch suspension it will now carve up the corners and give very quick acceleration.
Mounted on a set of Sport Hard tires Ol'Harvey has managed to knock out a very respectable 7:54 online at the ring.

Note: Not really happy with the transmission and will be looking into getting a better set-up for it. Works ok with Automatic but may cause problems for Manual drivers.
Remember
As Ol'Harvey Wallbanger always says...
Drive Hard and have FUN!
Ok, jokes aside, I'm happy that Dorothy managed to make your races a nice, smooth breeze. The short gearbox was used because it matched (incredibly) the real car's (this being the RCZ-R) top speed, of course it works better on courses with few or without long straights. 
The agility seemed to make up for that shortcoming, which is good, means I nailed the handling part of the car. 👍 I found amusing that your favorite track is Trial Mountain, it so happens that it is mine too! I usually test all my cars there. Thank you very much for the review, and one more thing. Name's Niku, not Niko. 
. So we have the "wimpy kid Edition" for now, and a more powerful one to come 
👍
