i hit a pretty decent time on yoko up 55'3 using stock kit, carbon duct bonnet, stellar rims

Question to anyone whos got experience with the GC8

Aero kit A vs Stock - which is better?

I like the look of A, but stock loses out on that..

Should i switch back to stock?

I've never used Aero A because of the way it looks. Supposedly its the lightest of all the aero kits. From what people seem to say, there's not really much a difference between Aero A and the stock Aero kit. Though if you're feeling up to it, you might as well experiment for yourself and see if its something that you want to deal with.

stock is lightest, guaranteed.

Hmmm...lightest...means more slide..better acell...

Maybe ill try it on tuesday

u want stock?
go use official machine...lol

not necessarily.

Put a wing on and you'll get better accel.

rofl.

altho, yes, stock aero is the lightest, and you'll definitely get a better top speed.

But you'll loose out on turns, coz you'll loose mroe speed in the curves.

I ment that as far as the ones you could choose from but for the most part you're right.

Stock however still helps in learning to fine tune those lines, just not sure if I want to sacrifice what I know now for a set of *cough* giant fog lights *cough* since i'm used to what I can and cannot do. Plus I like to have it slide around, which is great when I need it on Hakone. With that in mind, I would imagine that Aero B would be the most balanced between speed and weight though I still think they're pretty ugly and would still probably shoot myself before changing.

But yeah, depending on the car, your driving style and maybe the course included, I would probably take handling over top speed but even then, your setup is probably fine the way it is already and you just need to work on using those reflexes of yours and fine tune that line. But I dunno, aside from the sliding, I like my setup the way it is; not that it bothers me or anything. Does pretty decent on Wangan and Yokohane amazingly.

hmmm,

one thing i kinda curious.. most of you said aero setA is lightest..but when im looking at the dressing parts of GDBC, aero set A of it seems heavier..=S

"looking"

how are you judging weight by "looking"

i mean...see the picture there..=S

nbm den..=/

bit hard to judge weight by looks ya know.
rofl

try em out first...

try them out

i prefer stock kit on most of my cars

an aero kit tends to maintain a higher cornering speed while turning, whereas the stock kit will be slightly slower while turning but it will have faster accleration while exiting.

any1 know each + & - each aero set for GDB-F?

i want to build one for team card.

Just by the general trend

A - Lightweight: Good for acell and turning, but possibly top speed diff/decrease
B - Good for all round advantage
C - Heavy: Decreases acell slightly and more grip and better for battling

lightweight will actually mean better accel and top speed ya know.
xD

Then wats the downside of the lightweightness besides the death of ramming?

Worst handling on a WRX lol

Im sure he can live with that lol

light, slides more. not as much downforce, if you like a car to slide a bit(COMPARATIVELY), you'll want the kit with the least downforce.

Hmm...i see..

I guess taking the wing does the same thing yeah?

wings are more of a downforce thing....
faster you go, more downforce you'll need (And theoretically produce)

doesnt quite work that way in MT, as long as you slap a wing on you'll feel the difference. lol

ya well it depents on what wing ur using & ur driving style lol

3d - and i want more acell and slide

Hello..=x

My GDB-C current setup is

Aero A
Yoko RCII
GT straight
Carbon duct hood



Can this setup manage in battle..? =x

I test myself by playing ghost, it become easier to handle.. =x

or

should i change it to aero C?

Well it all depends on wether u want more grip and weight to ram others with at the expense of acell

OR

Keep ur settings which enable more slide and therefore, more agile with acell and weightlessness, but being able to get rammed hard..

My gc8 is EXTREMELY light, and yet i do awesome in battles...

Its not the car that determines how good ur ramming and battles are, its ur skill and intuition that provides a MASS basis of ur abilities, then the car...

i having a GDB-F n i noe is a mistake car 4 me eldi coz the speed of tis car is damn killing me if battle with evo..
does anyone noe how 2 improve the speed in battle with this car share some w.me
my tuning is below:-
stock aero
aera mirror
3D GT wing
yokomaha RCII
FRP carbon hood
