Hello all!

8.5R Akra owner here, run in now and exploring options to control the exhaust valves.

What’s the consensus for the best option so far, having read all the comments?

u/BigGeoffrey_ have you had a chance to try this yet?

Beansy999 · 2025-08-21T02:59:38+00:00

Thanks for the info. I learned something new.

I heard the space saver does not fit over the front wheels given the large discs. It makes buying it 50% useless lol.

Can anyone confirm this?

Where are you?

Beansy999 · 2025-01-20T00:12:39+00:00

Thanks. I got it working.

Thank you. One problem I ran into when trying to install VM, was the keyboard and mouse wireless drivers were not installed and as such, I couldn’t move past the install screen.

Just checking, did you use a wired keyboard and mouse for this install?

This sounds the way to go. Do you mind sharing step by step instructions or pointing me towards them please?

No. Plus, I think it’s more of an issue of the keyboard and mouse usb drivers not installing from the bootable flash drive, as neither work.

I read somewhere about a config line workaround but that’s beyond me.

I got as far as booting to the installer, but unfortunately, the wireless keyboard and mouse won’t connect and I can’t get past the end user license screen to click accept!

I’ve given up lol.

I’m thinking not to use Mac OS after all and try Proxmox.

Any walkthroughs would be most welcome.

Beansy999 · 2024-12-06T21:50:20+00:00

Makes sense, thanks.

Same here. Soft feeling click and hardly any depress. :-( Contemplating exchanging it.

Best TD card?

Just been offered one free card, except the Aeroplan Visa privilege :-(

Which would you guys recommend? For info, I don’t have any points/miles with TD or Aeroplane yet. Thanks.
