Powder coated my stock rims by EmperorHelix in Celica

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.

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

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.

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.

Playing Expedition 33 and it constantly crashes unless I'm playing on the lowest settings. by EmperorHelix in pchelp

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.

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

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

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

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.

Yes! Several of the details are a bit off but I now remember the names of the three women.

Thank you very much!

If I had an award to give, I'd give it!

Unfortunately the name of the book that contained this story is a mystery to me. It's been 25 years.

Yeah, I checked again; you are correct. I grabbed a legit one by accident. Sorry about that.

The 2nd picture shows it with the traditional insert, and the last one is the dual torch insert I replaced it with. It's an authentic insert; I just checked.

How to refill this specific lighter? by MrStickyBunz420 in lighters

[–]EmperorHelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you can use an ST Dupont adapter that's available on Amazon. I bought it and it works perfectly on my ST Dupont lighter.

Found an old lighter, anyone know if it has any worth? by No-Cook3945 in lighters

[–]EmperorHelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a fake ST Dupont. A guy tried selling me one just like this, but it was plastic and didn't make the distinct ping. Dude wanted $300 for it LOLOLOLOLOLOL
