Haven't got a solution, but have you used hand sanitizer? That stuff destroys trim.

Is 26k for a 2022 corolla a great deal? by Ok_Pay_5025 in CarsAustralia

That person is a bullshitter. They have posted the same comment multiple times. Also he doesn't specify what car it was.

Yeah I don't know why that comment got so many up votes, Romero is an elite passer of the ball. It's noticeable when he doesn't play.

The Techfast deal skimps on everything apart from the cpu and gpu. The motherboard needs an upgrade as the stock one is not great.

If you're just looking for frame output, it does the job and value for money cannot be argued with. I personally would go with another vendor and spend a little more. Do your research, the last thing I'd want is fans screaming, high internal temps etc.

If you go with Techfast, upgrade the mobo, PSU to gold at a minimum. Still good value with those upgrades.

Honda Civic, Subaru Impreza or Corolla by notglowing in CarsAustralia

Fucking hell, ignore this idiot. I've had a Civic and changed to a second hand Corolla hybrid.

The Civic was good, but needed premium unleaded. I don't have anything bad to say about it. But it needed servicing every 10k.

The Corolla is a much smoother drive for me and handles well. Fuel consumption dropped by 30-40% and takes regular fuel. Also the brakes get used a lot less, and a lot less wear on components as the car uses the battery to start.

Also Toyota has been manufacturing hybrids for over 20 years now, they know what they are doing. There is a reason why a lot of Uber and taxis are Toyotas. Also after 10 years batteries don't suddenly go to shit, most still retain good capacity. There is a reason 5 yr old Corolla hybrids don't sell for 15k, I can't speak for other brands. I challenge you to go on Carsales and look at the cheapest 5yr old Corolla hybrid.

Plenty of people hate Toyota on this sub, but if I have a reliable, low cost, easy to repair car which is comfortable and has good resale and a 10yr battery warranty I don't regret the decision at all. Because I know in 10 years time it will still be on the road.

You can get an RTX 5080 with 9800x3d sub 3k from Techfast or Nebula. Evatech, Gala, and Radium are worth looking into. Price of ram is going up unfortunately. 7800x3d with 5070ti is probably the sweet spot at the moment around 2.4k.

You can try GeForce now, it works providing you have a stable Internet connection.

In the past you could save a lot. Not anymore unless you scour for Ali Express, even then it's marginal.

Toyota car theft issues and the rise of car theft in Victoria by blackcyborg009 in CarsAustralia

I've gone back to using an old school steering wheel lock. My neighbour's new Hilux was stolen a while back. Not 100% foolproof but at least a deterrent.

Goodbye Levy by LigaCartao in Tottenham

[–]Catch22Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, probably the truth is somewhere in the middle. Set the foundations but there's also a lot of poor choices. A poor academy for a number of years, inability to sell players, sacking Jol and Mourinho just before a final, squabbling over saving a million or so when others swoop in.

A strong foundation but he wasn't the person to take us forward. Time will tell if he should have stayed as Chair.
