REMEMBER TO BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION!
And remember to uncheck "read only" for the entire GTA VC
folder and every file in it.

I strongly recommend replacing the Pheonix!

For you hasty fellas (and those who know what they're doing):

handling.cfg:
PHEONIX 1600.0 1.8 4.5 1.4 0.0 -0.03 0.25 70 0.75 0.65 0.49 5 280.0 23.0 R P 4.1 0.65 0 22.5 1.15 0.07 0.35 0.60 45000 0.25 -0.15 0.5 0.3 400901 1 0 

carcols.dat:
pheonix, 75,75, 28,75, 46,75, 55,75, 17,75, 75,20, 35,75

default.ide:
207, 	pheonix, 	pheonix, 	car, 	PHEONIX,	PHOENIX, 		null,	richfamily, 10, 7,	0,			237, 0.73



INSTALLATION:

First of all, you need IMG Tool!  You can get it from many fine
GTA sites, like gtawip.com.

1) Installation of the mesh and textures:

Open IMG Tool.  Click File > Open.  Search for gta3.img in your 
GTA VC/models folder.  Choose and open it.

Find pheonix.dff (Edit > Find/Find next), back it up by extracting
it.  Then delete it.
Then click Commands > Add (Ctrl+A) and find the 76ta.dff file 
which was in the same zip-file with this file.  Choose and open it.
Rename 76ta.dff to phoenix.dff.

Do the same with pheonix.txd.  (replace it by 76ta.txd and rename
76ta.txd to phoenix.txd)

Rebuild the archive (commands > rebuild archive)



2) Installation of car stats.  (Handling, colors, wheel size)

Use Notepad or Wordpad or some other textfile editor (or whatever
they call them)!

Open carcols.dat.  Find Pheonix.  Replace that line with this:

pheonix, 75,75, 28,75, 46,75, 55,75, 17,75, 75,20, 35,75


Open default.ide.  Find Pheonix.  Replace that line with this:

207, 	pheonix, 	pheonix, 	car, 	PHEONIX,	PHOENIX, 		null,	richfamily, 10, 7,	0,			237, 0.73

(only the last 2 numbers are changed)


And Finally open handling.cfg.  Find Pheonix.  Replace that line with this:

PHEONIX 1600.0 1.8 4.5 1.4 0.0 -0.03 0.25 70 0.75 0.65 0.49 5 280.0 23.0 R P 4.1 0.65 0 22.5 1.15 0.07 0.35 0.60 45000 0.25 -0.15 0.5 0.3 400901 1 0 

Done!



If you want to put this on your website, please e-mail me and ask 
for permission first.  And when sharing this car with your friends,
remember: do not add or remove any files to/from the zip file or
alter them in any way!  Filelist:  readme.txt, 76ta.dff, 76ta.txd,
76ta.jpg, vice.txt, gta3.txt.
