What this mod does

The 1973 Ibishu Signia/BX is the mid-’70s sports coupe from the fictional brand Ibishu, created by LJ74. According to its backstory, it was sold in five Japanese trims under the Signia name and in two export trims as the BX. This is the free demo version published on the official Repository.

What the demo includes

  • The 1973 Signia/BX.
  • One Japanese (JDM) config and one US (USDM) config.
  • One wheel and one hubcap.

The car’s story

In the story the author tells, in 1973 the C16 four-cylinder was offered worldwide, and the C20 and T20R six-cylinders only in Japan for the GT trims. In 1974 came the export C24 six-cylinder and a Y12 rotary engine, along with fuel injection, a catalytic converter and the big 5 mph bumpers for the United States.

Full version

It costs 6 New Zealand dollars on Patreon, Gumroad or Ko-fi and adds three more wheels and hubcaps, lots of customization, factory and custom configs, and future updates. Before installing it, delete or disable the demo.
