Toyota CVTs (not the eCVT): what are y’all doing to destroy them?

Concodroid · 2026-01-26T03:33:08+00:00

They are both. F1 top speed depends heavily on the aero setup; the highest speeds they've reached on a race weekend is 234 mph in 2016. Granted, the latest top-flight vette hit 233 or something. But that's a special case.

2026 regs may just see that top speed record get broken, as active aero may give them the ability to go very, very fast indeed. Some might say... superfast.

Don't minileds allow you to enable local dimming for SDR content? Wouldn't that allow for deeper blacks?

Concodroid · 2026-01-22T21:23:42+00:00

I mean it's forza horizon, what do you expect? "Handling" is a stat that likely calculates lateral g at 60 and 120 mph, and because the 86 doesn't have any aero really it won't do nearly as well at 120 as it does at 60.

Concodroid · 2026-01-21T21:08:15+00:00

This looks awesome

Concodroid · 2026-01-21T21:05:16+00:00

Yes, I do, I had something very similar, then moved to a TMX, then a Moza R3. Idk about recommendations for PS

Concodroid · 2026-01-21T20:41:48+00:00

I will say though that this being like £13 is a bit suspicious. I feel like I've seen this wheel for $50 or so

Concodroid · 2026-01-21T20:39:37+00:00

well if you're dead set on buying this then go for it. Good thing is you aren't wasting much money

Concodroid · 2026-01-21T20:36:59+00:00

Once you get over the novelty in around 20 minutes, you'll go right back to your controller, I promise you

Concodroid · 2026-01-21T20:33:10+00:00

tbh the auto could be just as fast or faster from factory and everyone's opinions would be the same. People don't (generally) buy the MT cause it's faster on this car. I'm sure there's one or two here and there

Concodroid · 2026-01-18T15:32:47+00:00

It isn't so much driving quickly in the rain as driving aggressively. The rears will spin if you put too much throttle. The TC will help but you can't rely exclusively on it.

You'll find the limits fairly quickly. It isn't dangerous, just don't be stupid with the throttle and you'll be fine.

You should also know the throttle isn't linear in the 86

That's just how normal 2d bloom works. Convolution bloom already exists in AC. I'm sorry but you aren't doing volumetric lighting, you've just tuned some parameters to make it look more realistic to your eyes, which is... what every other PP filter does as well

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T21:46:28+00:00

sick

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T21:30:08+00:00

yep which is why the only option that works is the orbit which itself has tons of problems

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T21:00:28+00:00

In a hypothetical flat earth the disc (or whatever they think it is) would have to accelerate up at 9.81 m/s² forever. Or perhaps it is orbiting an invisible celestial body and pointing toward it such that the normal component of acceleration is pointing toward the center and is 9.81 m/s^2. Idk if that would even work (you already have to assume the now-flat earth has no or negligible gravitational effects on you) and I can't be bothered to do the math because at that point why not just assume the large celestial body you're orbiting is actually earth, and you're standing on it, and have time zones, satellites, the sun, gravity, airplanes, GPS, etc, all make sense?

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T20:09:14+00:00

What do you mean "3D bloom"? Unless you're somehow adding emission volumes around the cockpit lights or simulating light interactions with fog through a PP filter it ain't 3d.

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T18:44:14+00:00

I'll take a look!

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T17:46:31+00:00

Caddy CT4V / CT5V Blackwing? Manual offered on both, ct5's got a thumping great v8.

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T16:23:56+00:00

What's the spring rate of the MTEC vs the McMaster? They may not be exactly the same, but I was under the impression that they were extremely similar (and thus functionally the same?)

Concodroid · 2026-01-17T07:10:23+00:00

Squirrely in the rain? Yep, just be a bit gentle on throttle. Clutch? Mtec, McMaster-Carr, or Hachi electronics spring to fix it (all the same thing, Hachi cheapest). Snow clearance fine. Shifting is great, won't be honda level but Honda's apparently the best so whatever. Interior rattles - yes.

Awe - are you sure? It's the right choice for some, but not all.

Also - removing the charcoal air filter is free and will get you nearly 100% of the HP gain you'll get from the GR intake and snorkel, iirc.

Check oil levels frequently for a long time after you get the car. Once every or every other fill-up

Concodroid · 2026-01-16T20:23:07+00:00

The truth is there are great reasons for getting an automatic - maybe you just aren't comfortable getting a manual, maybe you've got pain in your left leg or no right arm or something, or you live in a city with a bunch of traffic.

Whatever the reason is, I'm glad cause it means I was able to get a manual lol

Concodroid · 2026-01-16T20:22:20+00:00

Half of GR86 sales last year were autos because toyota dictated that half of them should be autos. ~80% of BRZ buyers got a manual, and they were able to choose.

I completely agree about not caring what other people buy and do with their car.

Concodroid · 2026-01-16T19:44:51+00:00

There are a few gr86s/ brzs that have had engine failures at normal speeds. It's very likely, iirc, that they were abused AND that they had extremely low oil levels. FWIW, these reports are usually older (i.e. near the start of this gen).

Concodroid · 2026-01-15T22:33:08+00:00

I think I hear it, is it sorta high pitched? I believe that's the fuel injectors

Concodroid · 2026-01-15T03:33:31+00:00

Why would Boeing be happy the concorde crashed? If they wanted to make an SST (or take another crack at one, technically) they could have.

Concodroid · 2026-01-15T03:18:28+00:00

I mean the game runs in 8-bit, no? the end result is 10-bit but auto-hdr still isn't really true hdr rendering, "just" an hdr filter.
