How to Build the Satsuma [UPDATED]

Overview

A simple and step by step guide on making the Satsuma.

How to Build the Satsuma

Lot of people don’t know how to build the car properly, so here’s a guide, from the MSC wikia.
If you do exactly like it is written, your car should be running perfectly.

Before beginning, you should go to the shop and build food and beer. Take the Gas Can with you and fill it with gasoline at the shop.
Buy a fan belt, 3 clutch/brake fluids, 1 motor oil and 1 coolant.

Wheels are inside the haunted house.

CARBURETTOR TUNING—————————————————————————————-

Easy way: “unscrew” carburettor 30 times (scroll down), and then scroll up 24 times. It may not give the best performance results, but it will still run without any problems.

WIRING—————————————————————————————————————-

There are a total of 24 wires that can be attached. They do not need to be attached in any particular order, and some wires are not required for the car to start.

After all the wires have been attached, bolt in the 8mm positive bolt on the battery (red), then the ground bolt (black). Tightening the ground bolt first causes sparking, and not disconnecting the ground bolt will make the car to catch fire.

Warning: Make sure to always untighten at least the ground (black) side of the battery when attaching wires, as neglecting to do so may result in death by electrocution.

Updated Guide

Before building
There are some things that could save a lot of hassle during and after the car assembly:

Most damageable parts are in critical condition at the start of the game. These parts can be serviced at the repair shop, but the smarter, though slightly more expensive option is to buy new ones from the repair shop shelf. Replacing everything will be very expensive, but all parts will eventually get replaced anyway. The easiest way to make a quick buck is to take the wrecked cars to Fleetari, but there are also other ways to make money.
Ordering the fuel mixture gauge and ratchet set from the parts catalog will prove very useful for the initial assembly of the car, as well as for tuning it later on. In total these items will cost 908 mk, and will take some time to arrive. This will also require two trips to Teimo’s Shop; first to take the envelope to the post box, and later to pay for and pick up the packages when the shop is open.
Note: The envelope should be taken to the store at the same time as the initial grocery trip, as the payment will only happen once the packages have arrived at the shop.
Getting started
Below is a complete list of car parts with their bolt sizes and quantities required for the car to run, for example: 6x9mm is 6 bolts/nuts with the 9mm spanner or ratchet.

Press F to open the spanner or ratchet set and then press 2 to enter tool mode, press 1 to go back to normal mode, pick a spanner or ratchet with LMB while in tool mode. Spanners and ratchets cannot be placed back inside the sets, the normal hand mode will still function normally regardless of whether a tool has been picked up or not.

Engine
Crankshaft to block
Main bearings (3) – 2x9mm each
Pistons (4) – 2x7mm each
Head gasket to block
Cylinder head – 10x7mm
Spark plugs (4) – Scroll up with sparkplug wrench until tightened
The spark plugs must be bought from Teimo’s Shop in the form of spark plug boxes. This is included in the shopping list.
Rocker shaft – 5x8mm
Camshaft – 2x5mm (goes in a hole on left side of engine)
Camshaft gear – 1x10mm
The camshaft must be aligned correctly to avoid damaging the engine when starting the car. This can be done by using the 10mm spanner/ratchet after fully tightening the camshaft gear, the gear will rotate after being bolted in.
There is a small notched arrow which should be pointing directly towards the crankshaft.
Timing chain
Timing cover – 6x6mm
Water pump – 5x7mm
Crankshaft pulley – 1x11mm
Water pump pulley – 4x7mm
Distributor – Screwdriver (goes to the side of the engine, where the spark plugs are)
The distributor must be adjusted properly in order to maximise power output and minimise part wear. The general idea is to have the distributor as advanced as possible, more information can be found here.
Alternator – 1x7mm, 1x10mm, screwdriver
Put the alternator belt on before you tighten the alternator. Tighten the two bolts to secure the alternator, then adjust the belt tension by scrolling the mouse wheel while looking at the alternator to change the alternator position. Rotate it until the pulley is touching the belt, then tighten the screw.
Once the engine is installed and running, come back and properly adjust the alternator position with the engine running by loosening that screw again. Loosen the belt tension (scroll down on alternator) until the belt starts to squeal, then tighten it just enough it stops. If your alternator belt is too tight it will eventually snap. You can buy a new alternator belt at the store if yours is worn down or has snapped.
Alternator belt
Engine plate
Starter – 2x7mm (leave the front bolt untightened later for wiring, otherwise you will have to untighten again later)
Carburator – 4x8mm
Headers – 5x8mm
Flywheel – 6x7mm
Clutch disc to clutch cover plate
Clutch pressure plate to clutch disc
Clutch assembly – 6x6mm
Oilpan – 8x7mm, 1x13mm
Inspection cover – 4x7mm (shared with gearbox)
You can remove this inspection cover later for tuning
This part is not required and the bolts can be tightened without it being installed
Gearbox – 6x7mm (4 of which are shared with above), 1x10mm (lower middle of engine block, right below headers)
Drive gear – 7x6mm
Motor hoist to block – 2x10mm
Lower the hoist, and align it with the hoist notches on the engine. The hoist is in the correct position for tightening once a faint clink can be heard. Tighten the bolts and the engine will be attached to the hoist.
Adjust valves – screwdriver
Can also be done while the car is running, see more information
Rocker cover – 6x7mm
Fuel pump – 2x7mm
Airfilter – 2x6mm
Oil filter – by hand (scroll)
Chassis
You may want to jack the body up off the ground using the floor jack. Or you can push the car inside of the garage with the blue van (this slightly damages the car-frame)

It is recommended to pick up the suspensions from the front if you can, as it tends to tip off as it gets weighed down by installing new components. Otherwise just be mindful as you go.

Alternatively you could jack the car up and build the suspension and push the car into your garage, giving you access to the underside easily.

Sub frame – 4x10mm
Steering rack – 4x9mm
Steering column – 2x8mm
Wishbones (2) – 2x10mm each
Spindles (2) – 1x12mm each
Steering rods (2) – 1x12mm each (shared with struts, install them before tightening)
Disc brakes (2) – 1x14mm each (shared with halfshafts, install them before tightening)
Halfshafts (2) – 3x9mm each (Shared with gearbox, but it doesn’t matter if you tighten them before you install the engine), 1x14mm each (shared with disc brakes)
Struts (2) – 4x9mm each, 3x10mm each, 1x12mm each (shared with steering rods)
Steering rod adjustment – 1x14mm each
The adjustment has 120 clicks total travel stop-to-stop. Turn both of them out all the way to the stop and then bring them back the other way with exactly 60 clicks. This is dead straight-and-center.
Trail arms (2) – 2x12mm each
Coil springs (2)
Shock absorbers (2) – 1x12mm each, 2x6mm each
Drum brakes (2) – 1x14mm each
Wheels (4) – 4x13mm each
Mount the engine
Move the motor hoist to the engine bay, lower it carefully and when it is in the correct position 3 bolts should appear at the motor mounts for you to tighten with an 11mm spanner/ratchet.
Warning: Be careful when handling the motor hoist when the engine is attached to it, sudden movements may send the engine flying across the garage, requiring it to be re-attached.

Wiring – Wiring all of the car’s electrics will be the final step before completion. A full guide for wiring the car can be found here.
Fill up the car’s fluids by unscrewing the caps on the engine components, then holding the containers upside down over them until a white bar appears (the fluid containers don’t have caps). The clutch cylinder uses brake fluid. The gas can, coolant, brake fluid and motor oil aren’t infinite. Tighten the caps again when you are finished. You can als
