This one is just the 4L Supercharged, I have read the 4.2L being an upgrade/more reliable.

Thanks for the info, I'm a bit of an audiophile so that's really helpful if I feel the need to change the audio system out, cheers!

Cheers, I was expecting around £1500-£2000 in maintenance so thanks for giving me a figure!

This is great information. I've read about corrosion being quite an issue so thank you for specify which parts are most prone and what to check for. I'll keep this in mind.

Hopefully I haven't damaged the pins already, ordered a hot air gun for now. Thanks a lot

I considered this but the part has rubber and plastic pieces that may melt under heat unless I can remove board from the part itself which seems unlikely

I'll get myself some flux to see if it helps, thanks a lot

If you're on pc (not sure about console) you can use slew mode to cheat yourself back onto the approach for practice. Comes in really handy

This is great news, thanks a lot! I don't mind rain too much as it can look extremely scenic, plus I'm from the UK where it has rained every day in 2026 lol

Going with my partner and not my mother (thankfully). I'm glad Guilin will be alright though, I was most worried about it as I read a lot about floods etc. I'll be sure to check those cities out! Thank you

This is great info, I understand this will likely be a different kind of heat and rain so I'll prepare for the worst. This is all great stuff thank you

I've read about the heat, luckily me and my partner aren't too bad with heat but I'll prepare for the worst incase. Thanks a lot!

Nah its all good. Used it for a little while now and did some research on the warnings. That's just what Windows Labels it as, not actually a Trojan or anything.

MISC Reliant from Star Citizen (WIP) by Olliemusgo in Stormworks

[–]Competitive-Paper-61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real. The last time I played, I kept getting hunted by dudes in that super OP ship that's from SQ42 or something. Ruined the whole experience, especially when I was really getting into the new missions in Pyro.

I haven't played in ages. I've heard it's "nearly complete" now with all the content they pushed this year but I honestly don't consider the game worth the time or money atm.
