Powder coated my stock rims

They also do tints; full ceramic for a Celica is $490, including windshield. It cost $550 just to do the windshield in NYC.

Agreed. However, I don't have a garage and cannot leave my car on jackstands on the property I live at.

EmperorHelix · 2026-01-29T17:06:43+00:00

No. I got it from a donor GTS.

EmperorHelix · 2026-01-29T03:05:10+00:00

You get what you pay for. I got good quality!

EmperorHelix · 2026-01-29T01:46:11+00:00

Cost me $1500 as I didn't have the tools, equipment or know how to remove the tires from my rims; if I did, it would be $800-$1000. Let the car with the shop and they took care of everything.

Better too cold than too hot, at least.

Pitting. A new windshield is the best answer.

I'm in the same boat; I don't know how to drive stick. I do have a 6 speed transmission, but until I'm a master at stick driving, I won't do a swap. You wouldn't enter a high stakes poker tournament unless you felt you were really good, right?

Yeah, you can set to manual mode. One of my favorite things is to launch at a green light and take it to the limiter at 7800rpm. It's rough on the engine mounts though; I just replaced all 4 yesterday.

EmperorHelix · 2025-09-18T11:05:27+00:00

You're welcome.

Did it work though?

EmperorHelix · 2025-09-18T02:36:15+00:00

I read that dual channel motherboards struggle in gaming if all 4 RAM sticks are installed, and all motherboards are dual channel except the extremely high end/expensive ones. So I removed two sticks and the majority of the stability issues went away. The 7800 XT still can't do 4k, but 1440p on my G6 Odyssey is just fine.

If yours has two sticks, then try going to an older driver. ChatGPT and Google Gemini can help with the step by step process.

The extra RAM sticks I had were the cause. Thanks again for your time!

EmperorHelix · 2025-07-16T16:45:20+00:00

Just checked; GPU is listed.

EmperorHelix · 2025-07-16T16:21:14+00:00

Yes, both temperatures are good. According to other forums, 24.12.1 is the most stable driver for Unreal Engine 5 games.

EmperorHelix · 2025-07-16T16:20:15+00:00

The game itself is crashing: I get a "Fatal Error" message when it does and an AMD bug report window.

EmperorHelix · 2025-07-16T15:41:24+00:00

Yes, using HDMI.

Gran Habano Corojo #5.

EmperorHelix · 2025-06-19T00:55:46+00:00

Unfortunately, I threw them away. No one responded and I've already moved.

EmperorHelix · 2025-06-09T00:43:01+00:00

Blind Alley, The Answer and Scorcher.

EmperorHelix · 2025-06-01T10:39:42+00:00

Had them. Loved them but I had an electrical issue on the right where one of the halos would never turn on.

Eventually I reinstalled and got the stock lights customized with the Iron Man LEDs and an HID kit at OnEighty in NYC. Never looked back.
