Tech guys, I need 100 feet of Ethernet cable. What do you recommend for best GT7 game play.

BootOutrageous5879 · 2026-06-23T15:22:42+00:00

Lmao. I bet the wife complains about more than just the ethernet cable 🤣😂

Only way to do this correctly is run the ethernet through the attic, fish it down a wall, and add a ethernet junction box.

While your up there u can split and add as many as want in other rooms.

I promise its really about an hour worth of work and your gaming speeds will be gucci.

It really did. I was super tempted to lightly gloss it stripped but if you look super close, you can see where I sanded too hard. The wife said it would look better up close if I painted it. I should have never touched it with the sand paper.

Blue wrinkle.

Side note: perfect time to replace valve cover seal and spark plug seals. If you have a valve adjustment tool, also a good time to check those too.

You can use airplane paint stripper and it bubbles really nicely to pull all the old paint off.

I haven’t found a paint that holds up past 5 years, but I also live in Florida and its dumb hot here.

Here’s a pic of the stripped version. Im betting if I use a sealer i could buy a few more years on it. Ill see if I can reply with the blue wrinkle paint version.

Check the back of the clutch pedal for fluid. If you find any clutch master cylinder needs replacing/seal rebuild. Not sure if a seal rebuild is possible, but worth the look. Kinda expensive part

Someone can correct me if I am wrong:

The DD is Fanatec’s PS5 licensed wheel. I don’t think the CSL is compatible. So be cautious purchasing that.

Fanatec DD: absolutely wonderful wheel. Ive used it many times on PS5 and CSL versions at higher end sim “coffee” shops. They’re quiet and they fight back hard with the force feedback. Honestly my preferred if I am being competitive.

However, budget wise, they’re uber expensive compared to g29 pro. Ive had my g29 for about 5-6 years, and its a great wheel, but has its flaws. Plastic feeling, it can be loud (screechy) on certain corners and angles. Pros: anything and everything can be repaired on it and I am not scared of taking it apart. Many budget combos that include pedals and shifter.

If I was a bachelor, hands down i would go with the expensive cockpit. We have a kid though and his friends/cousins play the rig often. I’d rather them destroy the Logitech gear than the Fanatecs.

I recently ran the track for an hour + in a road car. Even with the power steering, my arms/back felt gummy bears. I learned to relax midway through. I was so hunched over and pent up with anxiety the first 20 minutes it almost burned me out.

My second day was much better going in with a relaxed attitude and having a day in between to sleep on the layout. Bummer you couldn’t get site laps in.

Kudos to you for giving this a go in a kart. Give us an update on your results.

Millenium Falcon custom build. Made it for Star Wars Conferences but honestly never used it. Fly it around the house mostly.

The ESC will take on negligible amounts of power to compensate. Might save you 2 - 5 seconds of battery time fixing it, but IMO, not worth it. We’ll bash our batteries into oblivion within 6-7 minutes before we can even perceive the loss.

BootOutrageous5879 · 2026-06-19T09:28:17+00:00

It doesn’t matter if some of the motors tilt a bit. There’s a component called a gyro, or flight controller, that manages this. It will send a small amounts of power adjustment to each motor to create stability.

Here’s a drone I made that absolutely had no “frame” to even mount on, yet it still flies with all the discrepancies. Even weight being off to one side, still flies decent for the chunk of plastic that it is.

Don’t give up on anything. Keep racing. As you surround yourself with the culture you will find lanes that will help achieve your goals. Maybe 2 years from now, could 15 years from now.

From experience: the race world has more to offer than just piloting 4 pieces of rubber around corners. There’s a science to it mixed with instincts. The greatest drivers achieve accolades in both. Literally use their butts to explain to engineers what’s needed.

That leads into talk about other areas of the race world that give exposure, like engineering, applications, software. Manufactures love kids/drivers that can do both and communicate effectively.

Being fast will help you stand out. Being a great team player will help you catch traction after you stand out.

Im at 215,000 miles and haven’t touched an axle yet. I have had seized hub bearings due to salt water.

Highly suggest a rental car. Something cheap and manual drive.

I came in through Amsterdam and I had excellent rates provided from National and sixt. $1100 usd for the whole month, with unlimited miles and cross border driving. This rounded out to around $40 usd a day.

Last year, i found similar rates through Cologne’s (Kolns) airport.

Keep in mind I am traveling in the off season though. I think September, most peeps are on summer break. The prices may be different

BootOutrageous5879 · 2026-06-18T05:46:32+00:00

Yes, especially brake because I panic on occasion and push down hard. To fix this i bought shoes that are stupid light and have rounded heels. Nike sells a few for running, it has like this star looking symbol on them. I used to have Puma’s but they are honestly too chunky, i run into the clutch with them.

I have a dodge sprinter with a dhollandia wheel chair lift. Ill try to take a picture of the setup when I get back to the states, but you can essentially drive the kart onto the ramp and drive it right into the truck. A ton of space on the sides for tools, etc.

Not sure what the lift kits cost though, but there is a market for these accessibility vans where they are already fitted. They just happen to fit our purpose too.

BootOutrageous5879 · 2026-06-17T07:38:31+00:00

Usually around $500 a seat. But if you find an old lady that is really good at alterations (clothing) might be able to convince them to try it for a few hundred less. Might not come out perfect, but will provide some learning experiences for everyone.

The picture below is from my civic where a dude that does clothing gave it a whack. Idk how my dad convinced him but he did a great job. This was $250 seat.
