if you're looking to buy one try products wawnted, or maybe get suggests on places that sell cars in resident answers, if you're looking to build a working one yourself, you'll want to post in scripting tips for things like doord scripts and hud controls.

Here's the forum, and why, for each bit ;)

Scripting for the HUD and smoke particle system, texturing for the smoke texture and hud textures. Maybe building for placement of HUD parts, but thats about it. Particle systems and HUDs are run almost purely by scripts and have very little visible really compared to the 'unseen'

Building for making the separate doors, trunk, hood, etc, scripting for the opening bit. Maybe texturing again, for how to make proper textures for each part, tough.. well.. you could just prim it.

If you're looking to BUY this, already made, products wanted is your best bet, or just try searching SLX or Onrez yourself. Someone is bound to have done it by now ;)

If you're looking to MAKE it.. then you're probably not going to find techniques in a market ;)

any help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Hope I've helped ;)

Have fun, and good luck!
