Weight distribution?

My car has 32/67 weigh distribution, how can I get it even without changing it to front engine? :neutral_face:

I recently read something about this in a different topic… cant recall which one really.
Have you tried the search function on the forums?

Gone about 10 pages, not finding anything…

He’s not suggesting anything, he’s asking for help on making his car have a better front/rear weight bias.

I was already editing as I misread.

Anyway, right now its hard to get a proper weightdistribution going. only real thing is changing to different setups like FR at this point, I guess

Double wish bone front and MacPherson rear for starters. After that you can use your brakes and wheels as ballast.

No matter how much you tweak, you won’t get very far from that balance. Mid-engined cars naturally have a weight distribution biased to the rear. Maybe, you could make a lighter engine, that would certainly help

Which doesn’t have anything to do with this…? That’s a suggestion for a feature.

As said later on, read it wrong. But like Leo said, a lot wont make the difference. If you have the double wishbones, then it will probably change a bit, but not by a lot.
The suggested thread would be helpful to you once it gets implemented, because you can then put more ballast on the front.
So Basically, yes, it does have to do with your topic here, but no it won’t help as of yet.

What Leonardo said.

I find that adjusting the weight of the engine can help quite a bit in some situations. First try switching between Cast and Tubular headers. For more there’s the Cast Iron/Aluminum block and head. Normally you want it as light as possible, but I have one car that gained 5 sportiness points from switching the headers from tubular to cast iron because it needed just a little more weight on that side of the car.

In your case, it looks like you need to make the engine lighter, since your engine is mounted in the rear, and you’re heavy in the rear. You could experiment with putting a crazy small lightweight engine in there just to see how much it affects the weight distribution. If it helps a lot, you’ll know it could be worth spending some real time on. If it doesn’t, then you’ll know not to bother.

More interior, better insulation, higher level of entertainment. That will make the front a little heavier.
