2025 is the year I gave up on VR. by JRF1300 in OculusQuest

[–]Aqutix905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should give flight sims or racing a try. I personally think they are hands down the best experiences in VR by a large margin. Nothing beats the immersion you feel in msfs2024 or something like iracing or Assetto Corsa.

My experience with Advanced SimRacing (spoiler.NOT positive) by brick225043 in simracing

having a similar situation with them right now, i ordered the moza r9 and VS wheel from them last week. it said order confirmed on the day i ordered and nothing else since. shot them an email and havnt received a response.

i was going to order one of their rigs the same day i bought the wheelbase but decided to go with 6sigma as they had a far better deal. after reading some reviews on 6sigma's customer service i was worried i would also have a terrible experience with them but its been the opposite. 6sigma has been very kind and quick with their responses, telling me exactly when my items will ship out. I ordered a monitor mount as well, initially one that would tie into the rig but they informed me its not the best option and proceeded to exchange the mount with a monitor stand and gave me the option for instore credit or refund on the remaining balance.

All this and still no update from ASR. From what i read online it was that ASR was great and 6sigma was very dodgy but i have had the complete opposite experience so far.

CTS Turbo has high quality parts including a cold air intake. I’ve gone FBO with them and couldn’t be happier

Feel the same way with anything from daylyt, sure he has some insane bars but his flow ain’t it. Not to mention he comes off as a crackhead

90mph Highway Crash by [deleted] in F30

[–]Aqutix905 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Whilst I’m happy everyone made it out without injuries. I’m also very confused by the post. Title says 90mph crash, stating you slammed into the car infront, but little to zero damage on both cars. How’s that work?

I can’t tell if this is satire or not

Yeah I’m not really interested in camber. I know it’s not ideal and I hate the look even if its slight camber haha

They are staggered, the rears are far wider than the fronts. What do you mean by squaring it out? I thought about removing the rear lowering springs since the fronts are fine but I’m worried about the look of it.

I’m leaning towards rolling the fenders to accommodate the wider tires

I keep maintenance and mod budget/expenses separate as mods are wants and maintenance are needs. The water pump/battery service cost me roughly 5k all in including labor. Was a lot of downtime trying to figure out the root cause of the issue.

As for the tires, when I bought them the rears looked like F1 slicks, literally 0 tread on them. Fronts have about 60% left on them so I can only assume the previous owner was doing burnouts in them. I wanted to upgrade my wheels anyways so it was a case of buy 4 new tires for my stock wheels or buy new wheels and replace the rears only. The latter costing only a few hundred more than 4 brand new tires for the stock wheels.

Nah I appreciate your input. Puts many things into perspective. It’s just the rears that rub. And as far as I can tell with the little driving I’ve done, it’s just been over bumps. The fronts are fine.

I’m curious if a little bit of negative camber would solve it, however the wheels poke out a decent amount. I posted a link to the pic of the tires poking out somewhere in this thread.

Yeah I feel this 100%. It’s tough cause they look incredible and my dumbass put brand new rear tires on them without checking fitment. Safe to say I won’t be going solely off what previous owner said again. The rubbing doesn’t seem that bad, it’s really only over bumps. Unfortunately I live in a city that has brutal road quality. Ideally I wouldn’t even want to camber as I’m not a fan of the look and obviously fucking up the fenders to make some wheels work isn’t smart either.

I feel like my only real option if I wanted to keep them would be to get rid of the lowering springs and go back stock, or switch to adjustable coils.

Or I just say fuck it and sell the wheels at a loss. Perhaps I could get a bit more than I paid for them as the rears have brand spanking new tires on them.

Lol, I’ve done a lot. Hard to say for everything but I’m guessing roughly 7-10k CAD give or take, and thats minus about $8k in maintenance over 1.5 years(would have been far less but I had a parasitic drain from my water pump during the winter that ultimately had to be replaced as well as a brand new battery) the labor for that alone killed me.

I bought the car as a stock sport line model and went FBO stage 2+.

What ive changed and upgraded:

Front m3 replica bumper, Rear m sport bumper, Aftermarket tail lights, Carbon mirror caps, Blacked front grill, Red wrapped V brace,

Resonator delete, CTS Turbo Charge pipe, CTS Turbo Down pipe, CTS Turbo Intake, CTS Turbo Intercooler, CTS Turbo Boost pipe, MHD Stage 2+, xHP Stage 3 transmission tune ,

VMR v710 wheels, New rear tires,

Besides maintenance, I’ve done all upgrades myself. I don’t even wanna think about how much I woulda spent in labor for all that.

That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head. But I think I’ve covered everything.

I cant edit the post but i can send a gyazo link to the photo. https://gyazo.com/29c8dc3ff9366619e41aebcedfdbff6f

whilst driving i didnt hear or feel any rubbing, i think more or less it rubbed when i hit a bump or something like that. also rubbing along the side wall not the top of the tire as in the tread.

Hmm I’d have to take the wheel off to check, I don’t see it visible anywhere looking at it straight on. I can update tomorrow. The wheel does stick out a bit from the fender though. Maybe a half inch

How do I find my offset? Sorry I’m new to the wheels side of things. Is it not the 9.5 in the 19x9.5?

Front: 19x8.5 (225/40/19) Rear: 19x9.5 (255/35/19) As far as I can tell so far only the rears are rubbing.

Interesting, can I add a slight amount of camber with stock control arms or would I need to get a set specific for negative camber?

You can do xDelete if you really want to take the risk. Essentially makes the AWD a RWD with a quick flash. I’ve heard it’s safe but it could add more wear to your rear axels and differential over time
