An issue with the fender flare spoiler.

[Diabolical diarrhea]

It basically causes the car to do a frontflip when landing a jump.

The Satsuna is a front-engine, FWD car .The vast majority of its weight sits on the front of the car. When you combine that with a spoiler that reduces your front ground clearance you can't be surprised that it simply scrapes the ground when landing. On larger jumps this may indeed cause you to flip as the back of the car is really light and the momentum quite big. This would especially be the case if you're low on fuel as that's less weight in the back.

I've had it cause some stoppies (rear wheels lifted up and front wheels lifted just enough to have literally zero traction) and aformentioned frontflips (both sets of wheels leave the ground, front end pulled under at considerable speed and the rear is flung into where the front was)

The problem is that it's not exactly realistic for a plastic splitter to cause a car that weighs about 700kg to stop dead in it's tracks from about 80kmh to being either on your roof, or slowed to about 20kmh, as it'd just be ripped clean off the second it gets any stress on it.

A fix would just be to give the spoiler an attatchment system like the bumpers / rest of the panels, IE being ripped off when given sufficient force.

Have you seen a rally car jump? If not, i'll tell you that if the front bumper touches the ground when landing it just bends and in the most extreme cases it breaks off but it doesn't cause the car to do a frontflip.

@sdDSF You’re not actually trying to compare a WRC car with a perfect weight distribution to a garage-built Datsun with 70% of weight on the front axle are you? After a jump Satsuma hits the ground at a much steeper angle.

That said I agree with DayZ above that a ‘detachment system’ would make the whole ordeal more realistic. What that would however cause is that you would loose the spoiler during literally every rally - so why have in the first place?

I can make the front spoilers detachable upon impact.

Better detatch than flip the car over in an unrealistic manner. I agree with sdFSF.

I'm not talking about a WRC car. Where I live there are several rallies every year on which everyone can participate. That's where I saw what I told you, It was a garage built 2004 Toyota Yaris that did it, not some crazy WRC car.

Yes please!

Bumping this as a needed fix - just found this through Googlefu after suffering the same fate a few seconds ago. Whole car flipped on it's nose.

It was fixed a while ago. Now it does what this thread suggested it to.
