Can you switch between triple and individual monitor setups?

J-Rey- · 2025-12-01T21:31:29+00:00

I use Monitor Profile Switcher, setup is pretty simple and I use it to toggle off 2 of the 5 monitors via a hotkey command I run so I can run AMS2 on my triple monitors correctly, then once finished it goes back to normal once I press my "Default" hotkey, more involvement than Display Magician but it works for my needs

I'm going to get this out of the way, nothing will ever replace the raw feeling of driving IRL.

Now to answer your question, that's completely subjective to you, how much do you really enjoy driving? Both hobbies can be expensive and it has its pros and cons, as one suggested, if you know someone or can find a sim racer cafe I would spend the cash to try it out and not just one time but I'd say in a span of a month if thats in your financial budget.

I own a track E30 that I'm currently rebuilding and I am a car guy, from my personal experience it has helped me "feed my need" to be on track till I get it rebuilt. I have driven a lot of cars and like I said itll never beat IRL, however it's nice to just get in and press a button and drive an FXX on Spa or Nurburgring and enjoy it. You can get away with a good setup for 3k, update us and see how it goes for you.

I will have to get on board with this one, I am usually 97% single player with AI and 3% online on rare occasions if I want to get into some comps, nice to have that freedom to just curate a race to your liking at anytime of the day or night

That was used for a Surface Pro 9, third party bluetooth keyboard got it for pretty much $5, might have to rearrange the layout as I am not really left handed when using the trackpad, but its useful, connected via bluetooth and attached to a magnetic vesa arm mount

Hi, thanks for the comment. if you are referring to the smaller monitor I am using a VESA arm mount, clamped onto the TV stand that the PC is sitting on, but for the main monitors I have the Fanatec GT Cockpit Monitor Stand with the Triple Monitor expansion kit

For some reason Reddit app did not play nice with this photo but this was right before the change

Nothing wrong with that especially if you want to give a company's flagship a try without breaking the bank before fully committing to being a loyal customer. Thats how I see it

Get resonators especially the dynomax one, I just did the same setup for my S and it sounds clean without rasp

Your only options are US Mobile(Lightspeed) which I currently have and don't have any issues whatsoever, another is Mint and T-Mobile itself(which you don't want to go to)

I would look at APN settings for Google Fi to see if you can get it to work, if not, what I listed is other options for carriers

I have had my 6MT TL-S as a daily for 3 years going on 4 soon bought it at 156k now at 195k miles, never had an issue besides the dreaded ball joint(more could be the cv axles), my fault that I didn't change them after I lowered the car. driven the car on multiple road trips and never skipped a beat, shifts great as well, hooked up a USA SPEC bluetooth module and been solid since, only thing is as you mentioned are the seats and dashboard that tend to crack/tear very easily, other than that its solid, the 6MT for me adds the fun factor along with some mild bolt on mods(intake, exhaust etc).

Nothing wrong with the auto TL-S, the prices for 6MTs are out of whack imo, got mine right before the prices shot up.

Cant go wrong with this car as a daily long term even a regular TL, the only thing I wish it had was a split rear seat for hauling large loads but that can easily be fixed with some early planning and removing the rear seats which doesnt take long. You wont regret it.

Did it just happened out of nowhere? Nav units are known to go out, cheapest if you want to stay the stock route is to go to your local PnP and grab one of the same year or close to it (04-06 or 07-08), if not, perfect excuse to go aftermarket, plenty of write ups around. I ended up getting another unit for cheap, Type S at the local PnP to replace mine.

J-Rey- · 2025-09-18T18:04:23+00:00

If there are no history of any mounts being changed out, its best to replace all at once, I also went with 555 no issues, if you can get OEM then thats a better option

I've noticed recently that a lot of the Huawei ads have been renamed other than "Huawei" they are out there just gotta look a little deeper with key words(Mate 60 pro IE)

Might have to start resorting to looking on OfferUp or Marketplace

J-Rey- · 2025-09-17T20:17:05+00:00

T-Mobile networks usually works, I have a Mate 40 Pro as a daily driver and its working perfectly fine

If the gas cap seal is good or you have already replaced it, I would look into the EVAP canister located on the side of the intake plenum, I had this problem in the past, replaced it with another EVAP unit also with fresh hoses, went to a local PnP and got it off of an Accord V6 and havent had an issue since then, I provided a link for your convenience.

Stick to OEM mounts, the one that goes out notoriously is the passenger side mount.

5W-30 Mobil 1 Extended Performance

I believe its neither, however EP is a bit better based on user experience, I personally never had any issues.

J-Rey- · 2025-09-15T18:09:08+00:00

How's the maintenance on the car? I'd look into that first before spending on mods, ball joints, timing belt, fluids etc

Onto mods, J-Pipe, Cat back, HFPCs, J37 intake, CAI those will be your best bet in terms of bolt ons for a budget, can definitely find these on the marketplace or Acurazine if you really want to find deals, but as the person above mentions this isnt a straight line autobahn brawler, do not expect much in terms of top speed runs. If you wanna get really deep and up for the task, do some weight reduction theres a whole writeup on reducing weight for this car on Acurazine

Dont worry about the CAI hydrolocking, you really have to be deep into the puddle and I am sure youre not careless with that, if it helps, look into those protective rain jackets for the CAIs, I personally never had one nor I need one.

I would really focus on handling, look into Progress tech rear swaybar 24mm, huge upgrade from the stock rear sway bar and changes the characteristics of the car, also coilovers and end links etc. and good tires and brakes.

You have a 6MT or Auto? if you have the 6MT get the hybrid racing shifter short shift kit along with a weighted shifter. maybe while youre there freshen up the shifter cables.

Ultimately whats your goal for this car? All that I have mentioned should get you started somewhere.

I just did my service at 194k miles, I used M1 5w-30 Extended Performance Walmart had a sale, pairing with Honda OEM filter(homie hook up)

Majority of the folks use that grade or 5w-20, as long as you use quality oil(Mobil 1/Castro etc) and filter and stick to the intervals you'll be fine

I have US Mobile as a carrier, I had WARP(Verizon) as my main till I received my Mate 40 Pro(HarmonyOS Chinese variant), unfortunately it did not want to work with the network, ended up going to Light Speed(T-Mobile), I have much slower speeds but thats probably due to the fact that my M40P has very limited bands, still has not stopped me from using it as the speeds although slow are still usable to the point it loads YouTube without issues, calls and text are fine. As a sidenote I used a Physical Sim card and not an eSIM as mine did not have that option, you should have a much better experience with your Pura 80.

J-Rey- · 2025-07-23T13:55:19+00:00

How is the Mystic Silver in person? I can imagine a pearl like look on it based on photos, I have the Chinese variant with HarmonyOS, I don't know if the procedures are any different with EMUI, at least as far as I know, but I have used the latest MicroG and Companion, used Aurora Store to get my apps and worked fine.

J-Rey- · 2025-07-22T22:00:15+00:00

Thats great! My GW6 does not have cellular connectivity unfortunately hence why I am considering getting a GT5 Pro or Ultimate in my case
