Hi!
Recently, a user named blade20 uploaded a scene titled "I4 Spring Engine with More Details!", which is what it said on the tin -- a fully functional inline 4 spring engine.
I'm quite an engine lover myself, and I have been asked to try building a car around this engine now, so that's what this scene is for.

@Little - by the way i updated the look of the engine
you should add it in a car i think
The engine was originally built to function at 1200hz and made a lot of power -- but unfortunately my computer cannot handle a car at these frequencies so I had to change the frequency to 240hz.
This significantly reduced the engine's power output and redline unfortunately (this is not the engine's fault) -- so I have made some adjustments to tuning (spring constant, density, and inertia) to make the engine more powerful for 240hz.
Aside from that it's aesthetically unchanged.
The engine should start on its own, but if it stalls, simply press 1 to crank the starter motor and get it running again.
The engine is quite large and doesn't rev very high (it seems to rev to 1200 RPM under 240hz with my modifications, but at 1200hz it revs to 2000 stock) but it has pretty good torque, given the realism factor and weight!
My favorite thing about the engine however is the amount of detail! Blade20 put a lot of effort into this engine and it shows.
This car has a top speed of about 105 MPH which isn't bad at all!
Control it with A and D to accelerate forward/backward, and S to brake!
Overall I think this was a fun little challenge.
