Need help finding a size modifier

Hi,
for long time i'm trying to hack a vehicle size modifier for F-Zero GX.
The only things i have found are sort of size modifiers, which modify the size while steering, or the vehicle shrinks and grows while de- or accelerating. The other useless kinds of size modifieres i found are codes which modify the size only ever 15th frames. (14 frames nothing happens. 15th frame the size is modified. 16th frame the size is at its default. no difference neither the code is permanently activated or just poked).
all these size modifiers were found by static values between 3f76XXXX and 3f7FFFFF in a memory range of 80140000 to 80157000. 3F800000-searches don't seem to operate any success here..

Another more or less useful code was found in a memory range around 80D03A00. It modifies the size of the pilote Don Genie if Fat Shark is chosen for P1. (if  for P1 is another vehicle selected, the size of the pilot isn't changed anymore. Same if Fat Shart is selected for another Player or Com).
Can the Character size modifier be seen as a clue where the well working size modifiers for the vehicles probably are stored at?
Or does some of you guys recommand another method?


Edit:
I also found a size modifier (value less than 3F800000) which are only active when the game is paused.. but i would like to have the code working all the time

Try more floats. Like 40000000 and so on. I´ve seen a game which had 41000000 as size value. Experiment around and poke them all. Most of the time it´s 3F800000 though...

moslty i've found size modifiers in an area between 80A00000 to 80D00000.
i also looked for more floats unequal by 3f800000..
i found some size modifying codes for several parts of the tracks by searching addresses with a value of 3F000000. but nothing vehicle related.
sure i could retry browsing the memory area i mentioned in this post before and retry searching with all these values. but there are really a lot of codes..

i also found out something new.
i loaded the same vehicle model for all vehicles. the size of each vehicle is a bit differently to the others. (only 2 (Red Gazelle, White Cat) are way greater than all others).
you can see it here if you're looking precise: http://youtu.be/EB0Bb5Y6BSs?t=1m21s
so i can conclude that each vehicle has its own value for the size which is different to other's vehicle sizes. aren't i right with that?
so i am pretty sure searching for 3f800000-values would not succeed any of the results i am looking for.
i also had a look for values between 3F000000 and 41000000 but not equal to 3F800000. first i have done a scan for all values equal or greater than 3F000000. then less than or equal 40000000. at least unequal to 3F800000. then i switched to comparing the last values (instead of specific values) and did an equal search. then i loaded another stage, but used the same vehicle and made a new equal search, to eleminate all non vehicle relating values.
but no success.. i did the same for values between 40000000 and 41000000.
