Overview
This guide will show you how to build Satsuma.
§001 Preparation
OK, so your first step is to earn some money and to go to the store in Peräjärvi. You can chop logs and bring them to one dude for 3200 mk, you can do trick with kilju (see this guide, but notice that you will need only 6 packages of sugar, not 9) or you can play ventti, but do it with caution. Store works daily from 8 to 20. You may also want to bring envelope to the store (see “Buying upgrades” section). You will need money to buy food and to pay bills as well. Additionally I would recommend to back up savefiles sometimes, because if you die, you die for good you have to start everything over (in hardmode).
As you reach Peräjärvi, fill both jerrycans. Open jerrycans’ caps with Use button. Pour 98 into Gasoline jerrycan and D into Diesel jerrycan.
My suggestion to you is to save the game before buying stuff, because your bag with goods will unpack on game load, it is easier to move just one bag rather than 30 items to your home.
Take many
Take many
Take many
Take a few, but beware, they tend to lose charge and capacity over time
Take many
When you buy fire extinguisher for the first time, Teimo will give you fire extinguisher holder.
And as you put everything into your vehicle, you are almost ready to go home.
Also visit landfill site, there you can find 5th wheel and sofa (you can sleep on it).
All items have successfully arrived!
During the game you may want to use MSCeditor (at least to check values).
Now we are ready to build the car!
§002 Preparing wheels
Stock wheels won’t pass car inspection because of bad tires. So you will need to change them at the Fleetari’s. Fleetari works from 8 to 16 on weekdays. He can repair maximum 4 wheels at a time, so for 5 wheels you have to visit him twice. However, 5th wheel is unnecessary, although wheels tend to wear and puncture. Only Standard or Gommer Gobra road tires will pass the inspection.
Also grab long coil springs. You can find them behind the green car body. Don’t use them before the car inspection, they will fail it!
You will have to wait some time, so go home and start to build your car. Here are the wheels with the new tires by the way.
§003 Buying upgrades
To buy upgrades you will need to go to catalog, select desired parts and bring envelope to Teimo’s. One thing you want earlier from this catalog is ratchet set as it makes dealing with bolts and nuts much faster (but you still will need stock tool box as well).
Attention! Some custom parts will fail car inspection[my-summer-car.wikia.com]! Buy now, put on later.
1895 mk
1950 mk
1975 mk
2200 mk
2310 mk
2545 mk
2590 mk
After few days you will get a call that you can take your stuff.
Well… Better take the tractor.
As rims go without tires, you will need to bring them to Fleetari (4 maximum at a time). Choose any desired type.
§004 Raising the body
Place floor jack like on the screenshot and raise it with lever to the limit.
You always can try something exotic…
§005 Using tool box and putting parts on and off
To open tool box or ratchet set, hover the cursor to the place where it opens and press Use button.
Press 2 and click on what you need. Press 1 to hide the tool.
To tighten bolts and nuts with stock tool box scroll mouse wheel up, to unscrew scroll mouse wheel down.
Ratchet has 2 modes, 1st is to unscrew stuff, 2nd is to tighten. In any mode you can scroll mouse in any direction which makes using it very conveniently, because instead of scrolling into single direction you can just alternate between scroll up and scroll down. To switch between modes press Use button.
To put some part on click left mouse button (LMB), to put it off click right mouse button (RMB).

Just bring battery to charger and drop it nearby.
High value on the charger means the battery is totally discharged.
No need to fully charge your battery, you just need enough power to start the car. Keep in mind that battery is disconnected from the charger on load so you will have to connect it again every time.

§087 Motor oil
Open rocker cover’s cap with mouse scroll wheel, pour motor oil in it and close the cap. The bottle also isn’t empty, don’t throw it out as well!
Later you can check the oil by pressing Use button on the dipstick.

§092 Front wheels tuning
Your front wheels are oriented most likely pretty bad at this point. So you will need to adjust the nut shown on the screenshot: 14 mm × 1 (each). In-game values ranges from -6 to 6 and changes by .1. So firstly turn the nut to the edge in any direction. You can’t do it with the ratchet! Notice that the nut can be turned endlessly, but the wheel stops rotating at some point. When the wheel is at the edge position, turn the nut in the opposite direction 60 times. Repeat for another wheel but if for example first time you were rotating up then down, now do it the other way.

§093 Starting the engine
Time to start your car. I would recommend to backup your save file before that. Hold LMB on the ignition and hold the Gas button at the same time.
Congratulations! Achievement is yours!
§094 Alternator tuning
Now the fan belt may squeak. Even if not, open your hood and take the screwdriver.
Loose the bolt once. No need to totally unscrew it.
Press 1 and loose the alternator until the fan belt starts to squeak and then pull the alternator back just once so that the fan belt stops squeaking. Don’t pull it too much or the fan belt will pop out! Then tighten the bolt and close the hood.
MSCeditor values:
§095 Driving
Pull out the choke by holding LMB.
Your engine is cold and you need to heat it up. This is why we pulled out the choke. You want the temperature arrow to be in the middle position.
Rev the engine a bit to heat it up faster. Turn on the radio with scroll down if you wish.
You may also want to open the window with scroll up.
Some other switches.
As your engine is heated, push the choke in by holding RMB.
Buckle yourself up by drag-and-dropping the seat belt with LMB.
Release the hand brake by holding RMB.
Rev the engine on neutral gear to raise RPM (otherwise you most likely will stall), shift first or rear gear and drive.
§096 Warning triangle
For the car inspection you will need warning triangle. You can find it on your tractor, detach it with RMB and put it in the trunk.
§097 Car inspection
You may want to have tool box or ratchet set in your car, just in case.
Time to get our car through inspection[my-summer-car.wikia.com]. It will cost you 325 mk. Do it before upgrades[my-summer-car.wikia.com].
You can change inspection card’s language by clicking on the flag in the top right corner.

You can switch radio channels.
For more authenticity you will need some Finnish music. Take your music files and convert them into *.ogg files. You can use FFmpeg[www.ffmpeg.org] or just find some online converter. Rename converted files like “Track1”, “Track2”, “Track3” etc. and place them into this folder:
Import the music into the game in the main menu.
There is also CD case in the kitchen. You can add up to 15 files on it. Do the same steps as for the radio, only this time folder is:
Additionally you can change CD and CD case covers (template is in this folder).

[imgur.com], scroll down 10 times.
Open the glove box and remove dashboard meters: 6 mm × 2.
Replace RPM gauge with clock gauge as we have tachometer now: 7 mm × 2.
Fasten dashboard meters back to the dashboard and close the glove box: 6 mm × 2.
§112 Fuel mixture gauge, carburetors tuning
Fuel mixture gauge.
Let’s tune our carburetor(s). If you have performance parts installed, you will want to have air/fuel ratio between 14.7 and 15.1. For stock parts you will want 14.[my-summer-car.wikia.com] As for stock carburetor or twin carburetors, it is easy to adjust them. Just take the screwdriver and turn the screw until you get desired value. Choke must be pushed in!
Racing carburetor adjustment[my-summer-car.wikia.com] is a bit more complicated. There are 4 screws instead of just 1. In-game value ranges from 10 to 22 and changes by .2. Scrolling up decreases in-game value but increases A/F ratio. Scroll each screw up at least 60 times (can be more) and then scroll it down 24 times exactly. This way you will have 14.75 A/F ratio. If you want some another value, turn each screw in unison. Scroll mouse wheel up to increase A/F ratio and scroll mouse wheel down to decrease it.

For the racing harness you will need the roll cage.
By changing final gear you will change acceleration and maximum speed. A higher value will make the car accelerate faster, but will decrease its maximum speed. You will want 4.625 for rally[my-summer-car.wikia.com] and 3.7 for 200 km/h achievement. Default value is 4.286.
Here are all Fleetari’s services.
Now wait until Fleetari calls you and take your car back. However, if you missed the call or he didn’t call and it has passed more than 1 day, you can just go and check if your car is ready. You are also able to paint the roll cage.
