help with downforce...

[ThE_fOnZ_0769]

i did a search and didnt find nething that helped so please no one go crazy if its around and i missed it...

i saw a 3000gt built by Whiteacr and it looked really nice so i thaught id make one of my own. i dont think i need to list all parts put on but it has 578hp. The problem is its a little but slidey(is that even a word?) for my driving style. i have an AR2 V2 and tried to code in a bit more downforce to help but it didnt seem to make that big a difference if any, also my d/f didnt appear in the setting screen, its still blank. Any one no whats going on ??? did it work and it jus doesnt show in the setting screen?

power+grip=speed
power+force= plastard to the ground still not able to go any where
this tire code will give you 998 grip...
Front grip 1C0412B4 - 1456E403
Rear grip 1C0412B8 - 1456E403
if your gto is still having problems, come back and i will try to figure it out from there

thanx alot for the help GT-40/787b ill try it out and let u no how it goes.
i have read in some other threads that messing with the grip levels can make your car do weird stuff thats why i have only really experimented with downforce and left it alone.
thanx again and ill let u no if it has worked and solved my problem...

When U add DF to a solid bodied car, it will have affect, but will not show up in the settings screen. How much DF did U add? Perhaps U should try more.

Front DF 1C04BF74 - 1456E78A .....= 1.25
Rear DF 1C04BF78 - 1456E733 .....= 1.50

I'm not sure why anyone would adjust the grip on a car with only 578hp, especially to those extremes. I can see if U are building a 10,000+ hp drag car, but that's my opinion. At any rate, the codes that Gt gave are the wrong codes for the pal version.

Okay, so that thread is aimed at Xport users, but the values remain the same.

There is no such thing as a grip code. Those are spring rate modifiers, and really shouldn't be used by anyone. Heydu's DF settings will help. I would also suggest swapping out the chassis with this:
1C041378 - 07BC034E
1C04137C - A59FA5F2

Should lighten up the car considerably, which will help the handling and performance.

im an idiot then, because i though it was the other way around

Thanks every one for their help and the corrections to the codes, i havent had a chance to test them yet but ill post as soon as i do to let u no if it worked.
heydu i agree that i didnt need much of a d/f increase because of the power so i think i added an extra .40 or .50 more to the original downforce that it said in the MKS program. u said that it doesnt show up in the setting screen so no i didnt do anything wrong. i will probably add a bit more HP but i just wanted to get this d/f issue out of the way first.
Again thanks pplz for their help and part codes, much appreciated.
