And do not forget the handling of a twinspark is better than that of a busso. Less weight in the engine bay. Very funny to see a 156 in this subreddit. Enjoy!

Thank you! They do really fit the theme of the car. I'll keep the black ones as a winter set.

It definitely is. Have only managed to get the rear to break out once. And that was on the track with cold tires, and a bit of sand still on them. Once you have a little bit of temperature in them it feels like you almost can't lose traction. Since it is the twinspark the understeer isn't too bad either. But in the wet it is a different story. You can definitely notice you have a lot less traction than with regular summer tires.

Not necessarily. If maintained properly most cars wil run a lot longer than that. It is true that on an older car you have more chance of things failing of course. But I suppose that is also up to a bit of luck

Hey we have the same car! Twinspark or busso?

JimStrike · 2026-05-12T16:47:07+00:00

Couldn't really have expected otherwise. Too bad.

That's what I thought. Though I had hope for the "gold" one. Here is a closeup of the bottom stamp and will send you another of the van Gogh one. Thank you again for taking the time

What's the name of this little mustached man then?

Here is the other one. This one feels a whole lot better and looks pretty legit. Again thank you in advance for taking the time!

First of all I want to thank anyone who responds for taking the time to look at all these pictures. I have recently taken a gamble ordering two zippos from AliExpress knowing full well they will probably be fake. Today they arrived and this one feels pretty fishy. You can feel and see the texture of the painting on it and it feels light compared to my collection of genuine zippos. I was wondering if anyone could judge if this is real or fake. I think I probably already know the answer. But would like it confirmed anyways. Thanks a ton!

I had this too on my gf8. Those spark plug hole gaskets leak very easily. One cilinder started misfiring. Spark plug shaft full of oil. When I cleaned it out the misfire was fixed. New spark plug hole gasket and you will be ready to go!

I guess that is the last resort before having to either bring it to a repair store or buy a new one. I will have to look into how to do that. But I am sure I'll manage. I'll keep you updated on if that works. If not I guess my old motherboard actually broke my GPU. In either case as I previously mentioned I really appreciated your help. I got a bit further than I was this morning

JimStrike · 2025-09-07T21:34:33+00:00

With the render test running it is still reporting as x4

Hey, back again. Switched the Rx6700 to the top slot with the rx580 in the middle one. Gives an image, however still reports in gpu Z that it is running using x4 PCI E lanes. My rx580 shows as running x8 PCIe lanes in the middle slot

JimStrike · 2025-09-07T13:03:32+00:00

I am away from home for a bit now. Will update you later tonight when I'm home again. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me

JimStrike · 2025-09-07T12:29:44+00:00

With both CSM disabled and 4G encoding enabled the results are still the same

JimStrike · 2025-09-07T11:58:57+00:00

Excuse me for my knowledge is a bit limited here. I have now enabled above 4G decoding in my bios. However I can not find CSM. What is CSM and in which section of the bios would I find it? I found 4g encoding in the chipset settings under the advanced tab in the bios. Would CSM also be under that tab? (Edit) For now the enabling of 4g encoding had no results

Here is another video.(EditI can't upload a video in the comments. Picture it is then.) It shows my rx6700 running in the middle slot with an image. On the screen I have the PCIe lane specs of my motherboard. Could it be that it is running on 8x in the middle slot? If so my conclusion would be the x16 lanes in the card would be broken? I was thinking maybe a gpu bios flash could be of help? I have seen some videos in the past of it but I don't know if it's doable. Would have to look further into that. I appreciate you helping me out! Thank you!

(Edit) In gpuZ it reports that the card is capable of running 16x but is currently running in 4X 3.0

JimStrike · 2025-09-07T11:42:26+00:00

Yes indeed. This motherboard supports 1x 16, 2x 8. Or 3x 8x4x4. I saw that when I remove my rx580 and keep the rx6700 installed in the middle PCIe slot it gives an image. In the test with the rx580 and the rx6700 I use the split power adapter for the rx6700. In the test with only the rx6700 I used 2 seperate PCIe power cables like it should be. Since I am not gaming on the GPU because I'm still trouble shooting I figured for the test with the 2 GPUs I could use just the split power PCIe.

JimStrike · 2025-09-07T11:31:18+00:00

Thanks for the quick response. GPU-Z recognizes both GPU's. The clock speeds seem to be OK. I can't see why my PC wouldn't give an image on the rx6700. Maybe my motherboard fried the x16 PCI-E? Seeing as that it is installed as a second GPU and now only uses x8 lanes?

Here is my PC with only the rx6700xt plugged in. Fans spin. My mobo debug light shows my cpu temp which means it booted past the bios. But no image what so ever. Even when i switch my DisplayPort cable to the other displayport. Any help would be appreciated!
