I've been looking up the files of SRS Street Racing Syndicate for almost two weeks now because this game on pc has a graphical issue where the
sun turns into a atomic bomb on screen making the day time tracks unplayable.

In hex looking the "archive.ar" in the Data folder had me finding a string called "sunflare".
Using quickbms to extract the "archive.ar" file get me thousands of arc files and i actually looked up this list i manage to find the arc that contains
the string for the sunflare texture:

00002b84 / 011141.arc (i used the nascar 2011 bms to extract it)

Extracting the texture and looking up/comparing with the ps2 and gamecube files but just couldn't find anything useful. (all versions use the same
"archive.ar/CDFILES.DAT" format)
Removing this section entirely in both hex and the file itself, but, though hex it just crashes the game, even when i manage to get ingame, when i load
a daylight race it crashes and though the file i just don't know how to recompile it back together.

My question is, is there a way to recompile .ar archives back together after extracting the main file, then extracting the .arc, edting/remving the SUNFLARE
texture or deleting this thing all together?

Just need some north from someone more experienced on this, i really want to get this game fixed.
