Fuse Box Placement....
Something that I've noticed with nearly every Config/Model, creators keep placing the Fuse Box in the engine compartment. Might I suggest it be placed inside and under the dash of the vehicle. On the interior side of the firewall. Which is where it would be located IRL. Fuse Box in the engine compartment is a no-no, as it would be a heat issue. Thanks.

Plenty of real-life vehicles with one fuse box in the engine bay, and one in the cab. External temps aren't much of an issue. Good suggestion though.

I think what Sonic is getting it is on the older vehicles should of a fuse box in the dash ( preferably under the steering wheel , and I normal fix mine so its upside down for the realism of crawling on my back to change fuses ) and on modern vehicles should be one under the hood and one under the dash .

My pet peeve is the ECU SHOULD be under the dash in the interior on the opposite side of the fuse box . ECU are computers and suppose to remain dry ( if we had rain in the game )
Another pet peeve is the Brake Pump should be line up with the brake pedal as irl they are connected and not sitting in the back of the vehicle sideways floating in mid air .

Yeah, I got it.

Plenty of vehicles with ECUs (ECM on older vehicles), in the engine bay. Not in the same location on every vehicle, old or new.

Now with the master cylinder/brake booster, yeah. Shouldn't be in the back of the vehicle. Haven't seen that yet, but there are way too many configs for me to keep up with.

All Porsche in the DLC are in the back. I think a couple the supercars too. VW Baja doesn't even have one.

Well IRL if I would drop a modern motor in classic vehicle the ECU goes in the interior.
Just saying how would tune a motor with a laptop. How did they do it in fast & furious? You gotta connect the laptop to the ECU which would be in the interior somewhere. (I actually hate F&F , I'm just an old mechanic.)

I gotcha, and I get it.

You all both made good points. Like I told Sonicfear, good suggestions. This game's all about fun, if you enjoy the loop. All good.
