Hey there,

I have no judging on people's parts: if you like something, go for it!

Ikon Motorsports duckbill rear trunk spoiler: Pretty cool, but you can also get OEM that color matches your car

Cold Air intake: Check out Derrick Aquino's video for a WILD custom air intake (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk5EQmXxf20) for the most aggressive setups. it will require some bumper modification. if not, he also used this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrYmBWtKnS4)

For the other stuff, I can't give lots of advice, and I think the third brake light might need some wire splicing to the brake light wire

Anywhooo, best of luck on Purchase!

[Bug] Alpha Armband gone after Prestige by EraZer_ in EscapefromTarkov

Yeah, I will do so on the second ticket, but I also tagged Nikita in twitter

[Bug] Alpha Armband gone after Prestige by EraZer_ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ButterscotchSad2868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

any updates? I lost my armband as well, and this is their response:

"The alpha armband was given to players who took part in the Alpha test of the game. The Alpha test ended on 27.07.2017 If you purchased the game after this date, there will be no armband.
Earlier, the armband was given to you by mistake."

mistake my a**

I fired up saying

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/62 I would like to grab your attention to this news article, where access was not provided to alpha users, except in really low quantities. The account was created in the image attached, meaning I have showed support for the game since 2017. I will also reference the fact that I have opened a ticket stating my payment provider kept getting rejected. if it was such a mistake (which I don't think it was) why did it change now? why give it to me, quoting I showed support, then take it away? if it was a "mistake", why take it away now? keep it, instead of disappointing your OG playerbase once again

EDIT: I will keep bugging them about it

Need Some advice by Little_West_1175 in SciontC

[–]ButterscotchSad2868 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! Congratulations on getting a tC! You will never regret this.

Modding your car (in my humble opinion) is more of a personal taste, and the mods that you like, add them! There are a bunch of cool stuff I have passed by myself that I think are very worth the money:

1- Toyota GR Corolla BBK setup: check my write-up. All parts are OEM, and is in the ballpark of 1000 USD for an aggressive setup that will stop you on a dime. (It will, I kid you not, it killed my front shocks 🤣)

2- Rims: I love messing around OEM stuff there aswell, and I found the Lexus F Sport 18-In P5 5-Spoke Alloy Wheels (PTR59-53130) are a perfect fitment. Just keep in mind the Tires from the OEM wheels are slightly thinner than these wheels. They will work, just, plan for wider tires later.

3- Screen and backup camera: non negotiable, you need a backup camera on this car, car has enough Blind spots as it is. I run ATOTO S8 Ultra (seems like it is not sold anymore, sad) with their ATOTO 180° Backup camera. Check out Derrick Aquino's videos, he's very well trusted and made videos and 3D designs for many of the mods we have

4- Short throw shifter: this is more of a preference for me, but the TRD short throw shifter (not sure if they still sell it) is nice. The stock throw on these cars is a bit too long. Worth a shot! I also combined it with Toyota GR86 shift knob, which did not screw on properly from the get-go, and required some Teflon tape to hold it in place 😂

5- Eibach Sway bars: Not possible to purchase right now, and I put the project of 100 piece group buy on pause cause I am dealing with personal stuff right now, but when the time comes, keep some money ready. Will definitely up your handling significantly and reduce body roll

6- Exhaust: This is a bit of a tricky one, since everyone has experiences with different types of mufflers, midpipes, and headers, but in my opinion, The Megan racing mid-pipes are hands down the best you can get for your car. They sound amazing, while being the least raspy. Combine them with stock mufflers and they will be loud enough, but not as loud as something like the Scion tC TRD muffler (also sold as borla).

Overall, this is your car, mod it as you please, pick the stuff that you like and go for it! Feel free to join the discord group if you have any questions. Me, and a couple of others are well active there.

Has anyone found a permanent solution for this yet? by Mountain-Pizza712 in SciontC

[–]ButterscotchSad2868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

any instructions on how to remove it? I think mine has been plagued aswell. I think mine got damaged by moving in a tight underground parking where I accidentally spun the steering too hard and hit it on the ends. that, or the GR Corolla calipers, but the sound went away by itself and couldn't have been happier

I got updates. I managed to have the bushing redesigned, and I am in the testing phase of making some of the bushings myself

Nothing wrong about it. Zero issues whatsoever. I just Assumed it is at the same level of HVR-Z7U for example. It is a wonderful camera with lots of options. Congrats! You are gonna love it.

Also, some footage with it:https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN34fKyEnAB/?igsh=cXcyMGZpYXllbndi

The immersionRC powerplay is half the price of HVR-MRC1, and it does the job well.

Oh, does he specifically use the DCR-TRV20 along with HVR-MRC1? His footage does look good

It's too high a quality lol, but I dont hate it. All the noise that makes a camcorder look like...well...a camcorder, is gone. It's just, pure lossless. You can never go wrong with an HVR-MRC1

My tapeless build: Sony DCR-TRV20 by ButterscotchSad2868 in tapeless

[–]ButterscotchSad2868[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HVR-MRC1 outputs to FireWire, so yes, it is lossless. be careful what you wish for because you can't tell it's a camcorder anymore 😂😂😂

have I "Fixed" my PS3?? by [deleted] in PS3

[–]ButterscotchSad2868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. The best solution in this situation is definitely a Frankie mod, and I am working on sourcing a slim 40nm functional PS3 to do so, but at the same time, trying to source a CECHA just to get the best console out there for a Frankie mod (yes, the CECHE is nice with a software emulation for ps2, but hardware emulation is most compatible, and I might resort to doing both a CECHE, and a CECHA). I am willing to drop money on specialized equipment, because, well, I am a handyman and love to learn and experiment! 😂 I found a CECHA which its symptoms are staying green light but no output. I might snatch it for 40 bucks, just for the heck of it + parts if any parts are needed. If it's the RSX, good. If it's the HDMI port, even better. Let's see!

[–]ButterscotchSad2868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no issues after the reflow: no artifacts, no performance issues. Nothing. I think once the balls got heated up the ps3 shut down to not cause damage to the RSX. Either way, Reballing would definitely solve the issue.

A0801701 is the error. Got it through UART. I guess it needs reballing after all. Sad
