WIP Beta released Projekt's Parts [Update: 7/15/2019] 0.1.2

Hello! The mod is pretty good overall, and I have to say I liked the parts added. But, for me, the best detail about it was the "adjustable steering rack" (specially on the 200BX). I don't have a wheel, so I drift/drive on the keyboard, that isn't really accurate. Because of this, it's quite hard to drift, but things have changed with your mod: now with more steering angle, it's much easier to get the car back on the road and even do back entries (I did some really good ones yesterday at Fuji Speedway). Although, when I span, it instantly broke. It happened many the times, even if I was in low speed. I was using the 200BX with all race suspension, and limiting the angle ratio before it touched the car's frame (around 2.5). If I didn't spin, it wouldn't brake. Thanks for the awesome mod, and if you can fix it, I will be grateful!

 

Whoops, I thought I had included that. I will push an update before end of weekend to get that in there as well as a Carbon Fiber material (it's currently only has a rubber material like the real life part it's modeled after. EDIT: Decided against carbon fiber as I don't think it will look good on this part) Thanks for catching that.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad someone else used the adjustable steering. I made it specifically with big angle drifts in mind and I used it a lot on my own 200bx setup as well. Unfortunately it does break if you set the angle too high, just gotta drop it back little by little until it doesn't break. You can still get some pretty big angles out of it. That being said, I have been looking into how to reinforce it so I can get even larger angles out of it without breaking.

 

Appreciate it! I will downgrade the ratio and see how it goes. Just another question: Could you add the adjustable steering for other cars? Once you're saying you'll update the mod before the end of this weekend, I think this addition would make the mod even better.

 

I plan to add it to other cars as well, but that likely won't make it in this weekend tbh. The textures are far easier to fix and add. Any particular car you want it for? I can prioritize that one at least.

 

First of all, I want to thank you for being this friendly and apologize for taking so long to answer, I wasn't home. I don't know anything about mods, JBeamn and all that, so sorry for the lack of information. For me, adding the steering rack was easy, just like adding a file. About the cars that it could be added, I think only the 200BX is okay for now. Just keep up with the good work you have done, but here are some suggestions and my personal opinion around some cars I went drifting:
The Sunburst is the one with less angle, so it's pretty hard to drift;
The Grand Marshal has the best amount of angle, what makes it easy to control. Maybe there is even more space to improvement, that should come along with a roll cage, for even better handling;
The Miramar is good, specially with low power. It doesn't have a turbo option, so maybe this could come along with more angle;
The Moonhawk surprised me at a first glance, it handles really well. Probably a good candidate for even more angle;
I just hate the Pessima (it can be converted to RWD) and the Barstow, so it's hard to say something about them.
I hope it helps you to decide, and thanks again. I'm on vacation until the end of this month, so if you need help, or maybe want someone to test your creations or even chat, text me. I think there are private messages, but I'm not sure. I don't use this forum really often.

 

Hey buddy, thank you for the kind words! No worries, the best part about a forum is no immediate need to answer, take your time and especially when you're on vacation. Enjoy it!

I usually drift the ETK I and the 200BX, which is why those were included already. I'll continue to work on these, as I eventually want them in all vanilla cars. I'm even waiting to hear back from other modders and I hope to have the adjustable steering in other vehicles too.

 

ok. how do you get the tinted tailights? Love the mod btw

 

New update will be submitted shortly. Painted materials selection for the Kamei 3pc spoiler (decided against carbon fiber), and adjustable steering for Moonhawk and Sunburst.

It's kinda difficult to see on the moonhawk, much easier on the sunburst, but here are some comparison pics between stock steering and max angle on the adjustable steering (I've limited the max angle, so you should be able to safely to max angle without it breaking. I had to tweak some stuff for the sunburst to get more angle)

Unfortunately due to the design of the moonhawk steering box, this is the max angle one can achieve before the wheel starts turning back the other way. I want to look into a steering rack swap so I can get more angle out of the moonhawk, but this will be a long, long-term goal.

Thanks!

I'm not sure which mod it's from tbh, as I have almost 400 installed. I tried looking through some but I haven't found it yet. It's part of the "ETKK MSport " skin.

I do plan on doing something for tinted windows and head/taillights though, so eventually they'll be included in this pack.

 

Projekt535 updated Projekt's Parts with a new update entry:

More steering racks, painted material

With permission from @yannis01186 , a kit for the RX7 is in the works. This one will replace the entire front suspension with a "big angle front suspension" that has some modifications to allow some very steep angles without breaking.

I will also be applying what I learn here to the other kits to reinforce those vehicles as well. This will all likely have to replace the front ends, but this also means I can make some new tubed control arms and colored coilovers to add some more customization options

 

The K-series broke.

 

Where 2 get the wheels of your K-series ?

 

dont bump

 

so cool mod
i like the car
