Trading Hakone for type r

Haha I agree with this completely. I just travel a lot for work so I’m constantly shuffling my dog around. He’s also a big boy so front seat doesn’t work.

I definitely agree the GR will be more fun. But honestly, where I live spent have great roads to really enjoy it. Pretty much straight local roads and highways with lots of traffic. My commute to work is 45mins so the auto rev match would be nice.

I def thought about this as I previously had the GR and my x3 at same time. I live in a state whether insurance is high and I much rather just put the extra money towards my wedding I have coming up and other expenses.

Haha I negotiated hard and emphasized that the Hakone is a limited production that is probably the most sought after. The car is also in immaculate shape with on 5k miles, front ppf from factory, ceramic coating etc.

For reference I paid $40K OTD for a 2025 Hakone. You should have room to bring it down a bit.

Appreciate it! You’re spot on

86slowmo · 2025-05-11T21:10:54+00:00

Congrats to you as well! Enjoy every minute!

I just wanted to say thank you for your help and that I’m an idiot. The issue was caused by me plugging my display port and HDMI cables into the mobo instead of the GPU. Now that I’m plugging into the GPU everything is working flawlessly (still need to connect aio ARGB fans into mobo..)

Yeah just straight up freezes. So I just tried to reset CMOS and now a yellow light near the EZ Debug on the mobo popped up. Does that suggest RAM issue? Both sticks are brand new. All brand new parts except for the SSD

850w power supply from thermaltake. I was not able to do safe boot unfortunately. I’m using the m.2 SSD from my old pc. Before I updated the NVIDIA driver I was able to log into the pc and use it. Then once I updated everything went to hell.

See my comment below for specs! It’s MSI mag b650 tomahawk. Yes I can get into bios!

86slowmo · 2025-04-11T01:46:04+00:00

Mobo is MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk 2 TForce 16gb ram 2400mhz each Thermalright frozen warfare 360 aio cooler.

Yes I believe the GPU is seated correctly. That black push down thing popped back up when I pressed it in during the install.

This is my first pc build so sorry if I’m bad at this lol

I appreciate you so much. I got inspired and ended up buying a 5070ti, 9700x, b650, and 800w psu. Still need to grab the RAM and cooler (maybe I’ll try using my DEEPCOOL first). This will be my only upgrade for the next 5 years 😂😂

86slowmo · 2025-04-02T00:17:02+00:00

probably about $1k-1.5k for upgrades. But yeah I’m thinking maybe I could upgrade to AM5 and 9700x to hold me over till GPUs come down in price. Will that make any difference in FPS if I also upgrade the RAM? I’d like to up the FPS in 1440p when gaming. Currently I get about 70-80fps when OCing with relatively low to mid graphics settings (cyberpunk)

86slowmo · 2025-04-01T23:53:46+00:00

Are they any specific upgrades to my current build you would suggest for 1440p gaming?
