Description : Subaru 555 Special Version GT Turbo Version 5.0 (FINAL)
Version 5.0 update !
Well everybody , it was time to update the Subaru 555 SV from it original model and textures
to a NEW model and NEW textures, I will explain it now !!!
This Subaru 555 SV is my own car, and I made it in November 1998 , as my first try-out for
NFS3, it worked rather well, but due to the limitations of the programs than , we did not knew
how to edit and model the car and textures quite well, so I moved the vertices a bit around
but not too much or else the textures were distorted, so I managed to remodelit and still keep
the textures in the right position !!!! But NOW ................,
As I saw a few (illegal) copies of my Subaru 555 SV on the net, I thought well maybe it is time,
to once and for all , make the REAL Subaru 555 SV, with the real model en real textures on it.
And so I did ,I remodeled the car completely, added a REAL Airintake on the Hood , and managed
to get the textures NON-Mirrored on the car ! I also changed the loadscreen , and added the
Patwo Design production 1999 text, further more , I digitized a video shot of my own DASH ,
and managed to get it in to the PC, I haev been drawing a whole day , to remove the steering
wheel from the picture, and to put what was supposed to be behind the wheel in to the pic, well
after 2 days that was also done, and was the only thing to edit this readme.txt .
I did not alter the performance that much , because it is pretty much as in real life, I timed
timed a few performances and they are close enough.
This will be (if there are no bugs found of course) the FINAL update and that will be it !!!
Well I think I made a very good replica of the Subaru 555 SV, and for a lot of people it is
as close as they will ever get to drive one ! So Everybody out there, HAVE LOTS OF FUN with the
car and also everyone who helped me out, supported me , mailed me and all of that .......
THANX A LOT !!!!!!!
Patrick a Patwo Design Production 1999
Version 3.3 update
New Load Screen updated, color corrections now fixed
Subaru Logo added in In-Game Player Car screen, thanks to Stewart Storra
Version 3.2 update
First of all I like to thank all the people that mailed me with Info on the version 3.0 ,
That gave a BLUE screen, at first I did not find the BUG on my own PC , but after a
week of testing, I turned the car to automatic, and it went BLUE, so we solved it ,
Special Thanks to Eric Arrayo , for giving me the FINAL hint to solve it, Thanks Eric !
Well what is new in Verison 3.2 not much except the Bug is fixed, automatic had 7
gears and that is now back to 6, so it is solved.
Version 3.1 update
I only send a FIX upgrade 3.1 to everyone who mailed me, to get the
car up and running as quick as possible. Version 3.2 is supposed to be FINAL and
available for download .
Version 3.0 Update:
First of all I made some changes to the Car Opacity Map due to some blue
pixels were coming through when in another color than blue. Fixed that now.
Perfomance is slightly improved.
The Colors of version 2.0 were not the REAL colors, so changed that , also changed
rangorder for the colors, now Rally Blue Mica is default on top followed by the second
Special Version Color Black Mica.
Updated Car Compare.
New Car ID nr. 12_00
Loading Screen added ( but QFS2BMP is difficult to use because it doesn't make the .qfs
the same colors as the .BMP that's known but now the loadscreen
does look kind of weird. But anyway it's a LOAD SCREEN.)
It's my third edited car for Need For Speed III,
My first Subaru 555 was based at the SL600 ,but now I used
the HSV GT, including the missing spoiler of the SL600.
As I must say this one is almost as real as it gets, the Model
is good and the texture is better fitting than on the first one.
Practise saves time, that's for sure , to build this one it
took only 2 days to build from scratch. It now even includes the
World Famous 91-1 sticker on the back. Na Na Na Na Na HΘ,leve 91-1.
The only thing is that the Subaru is 4 wheel drive, and my
model is only 2 wheel driven. It's actually my own car, it's
great price vs. performance for 1/5 of the price of a Porsche
you drive as fast,or maybe in wet weather even faster than a
Porsche. 0-100Km/h 5.6 sec (measured).
Driven on the Dutch TT track in Assen , in a test the Subaru
555 (production), was just 1 second slower than the 911, and
just before the Ferrari 355, the track was wet due some rain.
With Subaru's All Wheel Drive 555 you have a car that looks
a lot like the real WRC (World Rally Car) that Colin Mc Rae
drove to 3 victories in a row, from 1995 till 1997.
The Special Version 1998 has the "WRC" Blue (or black) color
and Golden Wheels.
If you 've tried hard enough to drive this one it's time to get the other
REAL thing, the Subaru 555 WRC car, also available for Need for Speed 3,
check it out ! (SWRC2.zip
If you don't own one at home you must try this one! But be careful,
driving a 'real' Subaru 555 SV can cause a certain addiction. No
medicines available at this moment other than to buy one.
0-100 km/h or 0-60 mph : 5.6 secs
0-160 km/h or 0-100 mph : n/a
top speed : 248 km/h
165 mph
