Sorry MTJ-R 242....close, but no cigar - I needed version info.
Well its called a 345 GLS in the game (2.0 B19), but its clearly a 3 door. It really looks like a 343 R-Sport. The early 'mk2' 340s were badged as 343/345. It's definitely a mk2 not a mk1 (just look at the indicators!), although its a bit hard to tell because i'd crashed a few times before taking that screenshot
Well if its supposed to be a 2.0, it'd have to be a manual...in this case its a 4 speed, but its totally inaccurate, as the ratios are miles out, and it can barely hit 100.
The R-Sports were badged as a 343 / 345 GLS with another R-Sport badge on the side, and came as either mk1 or mk2 bodyshapes, so my guess is that its supposed to be an RS. Real shame there's no interior But its got the rear lights you like
It's the model in the game being unrealistic that's the problem....its far too tail-happy to be the real thing, and the gear ratios and power delivery are totally unrealistic. But kudos to some random bloke for modelling it in the first place!
