FK8 Civic Type R - Production Version - Update
An attempt to bring the modified FK8 closer to its Production Car settings, this is a learning process so forgive my mistakes...
Altered shader values to get rid of chrome interior items, would like to give the gear knob aluminium texture, but it is included in the same material as other items. Added carbon texture to some interior exterior parts, not perfect but better than the plain black. Real car has fake carbon as standard but you can pay through the nose for the real deal if you so desire!
Playing with traction control frequency and slip levels, reduced engine inertia a little, increased brake performance (maybe too much).
Added coloured race suits.
Looked into the sounds, sounds.ini file does not seem to do anything, tried adjusting levels with it but no luck, sorry beyond my n00b capabilities!
Looked at starting tyre pressures for street tyres, same result as the sound, numbers in the ini file have no effect in game.
Reduced setup ranges of camber / toe to fit with real car specifications.
Changes Made:
Wheel base corrected 2699
Front track corrected 1584
Rear track corrected 1602
Rim Offset changed to 0.06 (it is a plus 60 offset IRL not sure if this value is correct).
Steering ratio adjusted to 11.72:1
Turns lock to Lock adjusted to 2.11
Gearing Adjusted to fit real car.
Rear ARB rate adjusted to fit real car (721ft/lbs).
Wheel rates adjusted to fit real car (Motion ratio 1 front 0.746 rear - Spring rates 4.7kg/mm Front / 4.2Kg/mm rear).
Caster adjusted to 8 degrees.
Camber adjusted to fit real car approx. 1.33 front / 1.5 rear. Barcelona used as a flat pad to check.
Toe adjusted to fit real car approx. 0 front 0.08 rear (need to reduce setup ranges to fit real windows).
Tyres changed to 245/25/20 from Porsche 911 Carrera Fronts (Street/Semi Slick) Lamborghini Huracan Performante Fronts (Hypercar Road).
Electronics activated TCS and ABS now function, rears do still grab on occasion (suspect because off the ground), but better than without.
Removed high reflective chrome from, interior (hopefully).
Added Carbon trim
Added coloured race suits
Adjusted setup windows to fit with real car specifications (taken from Honda Service instructions on alignment).

To Do:
Learning: I
still really don't know what I am doing so may have completely borked the car
Tyre size is still not spot on should be 245/30/20
Tyre Pressures!? Real car 35Psi front / 33 Psi rear ~220km/h // 41Psi front / 33 Psi Rear 220km/h~
Front ARB rate need to be calculated, I know it is hollow 29mm (0.5mm wall thickness) diameter but no other measurements. Will try and get under the car at some point this week if it is dry outside.
Dampers!?
Ride height!?
Electronics!? The game shows ABS and TCS switched off in the setup screens, not really sure what is working and what isn't.
FFB doesn't really tell you much, especially when understeer creeps in
Some horrid chrome interior textures need to go.
Sounds - The backfire needs to go this car does not pop and crackle from the factory
Add race suits
