Hello!
I need help with the sileighty. It is very understeery. I simply love this car can someone help me. These are my settings:
325 hp
Parts: everything, Turbo 2, Racing large intercooler, no aids
Suspension:
spring rate: 7 F / 6R
ride height: 95
camber: 2,2 F / 1 R
toe angle: 0 F / 1R
stabilizer: 4F / 4R
damper bound and rebound: 8 F / 8R
Tires: sports soft F / sports medium R
Brakes: 14 F / 8 R
PS: I drift with the sileighty but the understeer sometimes kills me
Here's some general tips i've found helpful.
Lower the front end...or raise the rear. This way, the weight of the engine is keeping traction on those front wheels more often, while the rear tires have more of a chance to break loose. I would start with the rear 10mm higher than the front and increase the rear from there.
As RJ said: make the rear springs slightly stiffer than the front.
I would also make the dampers look like this:
Bound: 3/7
Rebound: 2/8
But there is some leeway here.
Stabilizers: 3/6 Again, you have some leeway..
you basically want the front-end to react quicker (and gain traction) than the rear.
I would also experiment with
more rear camber..like 2.0 degrees. Again, the rear will be more prone to "break loose" under throttle...which you apparently want since you're drifting.
LSD? I would personally try the 1-way diff before getting bogged down with a full-customized drift. But i would avoid using any differential at all if there's no wheelspin...
But if you HAVE to use FC LSD, keep in mind taht a full-limited slip device should be kept incredibly low or understeer will show up quick. Basically, even with low settings, the device will still work to keep wheelspin at a minimum. I would have it something like this:
10/15/minimum
NO tCS or ASM (but you know this already)
Mismatched tires 👍 with softer ones up front. (many players scoff at this, but i approve). It may be hard to drift iin a Sil80 with sport tires...i would try a combo of S2/S1 during races, but N2's or N3's (no combinations) if you're just going for pure drifts.
Finally, i'll tell you your settings are just a way of getting your car to do what you want it to do...ultimately you'll need to learn the best braking & turn-in points for drifts or grip-racing. How much throttle to give also helps you to break loose. All settings do is provide a platform, you'll ultimately need to figure out what works best for you.
