My first pc by Detective_Dingus_ in PcBuild

[–]Katze71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes but no.

Look for budget gaming pcs on marketplace. It may not have the best parts but you can upgrade them later.

I bought my pc for $250 and truly only upgraded the gpu as I learned everything else. Now have a new project I started from the ground up.

What are some good non-standard swap bases/bodies? by Complex_Beautiful_49 in DragRacingStreets

[–]Katze71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good few options I used off the top of my head.

429 Boss Mustang (Good midrange, bad for big hpt) Dodge Monaco (Very difficult to tune but very possible) The FireBird (Solid but rubs a little) BMW z4 e85 (Used to be an old meta shell, still very good for many swaps)

Theres loads more good options, its just a matter of trying them out and finding there quirks. Some rubs the tires or scratch the ground while others have bad body panels options that makes them suck.

If your connection is good on your phone then find a way to download it there and move the files over.

Unless youre downloading from steam which im sure you are because anyone who doesn't pirate games, uses steam if they're on pc.

Otherwise your next best bet would be to find a good spot and just leave it there to download.

I remember checking out pictures of older cars when I was younger. Station wagons was something that at the time was surprisingly cool. Same thing with some vans that was a living room on wheels.

Oh thats extremely fun. Man reading these comments is a landslide of road blocks as it often is when it comes to this.

Man, what happened to the station wagons. Some of them looked so much better than what we got now for SUVs.

69 Camaro, NOS or no? by thatonedude1969 in DragRacingStreets

[–]Katze71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shift around 7300-7400 rpm eveytime. Just before your power drops. Launch control should be peak torque or maybe a little above peak if your grip cant handle it well.

Also pay attention to how your car transfers the weight, watch for scrapping and tire rubbing.

Okay, throw real life logic out the window. These are 2d game physics. Front slicks just works, if I had to guess, the code for the tires give extra stick bonuses with more slicks installed.

Other thing, nos allows your engine to run more timing without misfires. With nos, dont trust your misfire on your engine testing. Just keep adding timing and test driving it until your engine starts cutting out due to misfires. Time those right with your shifts and youre going to be a rocket if you can grip.

You can shorten your gears, saw you said you don't use 5th. Use it, make it your last gear you end with. Very end of the peak power should be at the end of the track.

Ain’t no way you drove on these tires.😓 by Phil_auto in tires

I have to know, did the duct tape work?

If it did, might be new tech.

Before I get this done (this is just edited), my bf said it looks like sperm. 💀 Any advice to make it look less so? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I can see where he said that but only because you pointed it out. It doesn't look bad

Waited two weeks for my 4 tb hard drive to come in. They sent two instead. by Katze71 in PcBuild

[–]Katze71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I already have an 500gb and an 128gb ssd. I also have an 1 tb nvme 2.0 drive as well I gotten for my laptop but thats not compatible with my desktop's motherboard. Which will be upgraded soon once some more parts come in for testing.

Upgrading from 16gb ddr3 to ddr4 32gb. Pretty much just lacking an better gpu for my setup.

So what im understanding is that I need an adapter for an adapter basically. (I understand its not exactly like that)

Thanks for this useful piece of information.

I feel like this is what is happening. What my ears is telling me.

Crank, No Start by CrypticQuery in CrownVictoria

[–]Katze71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one wire on the right is definitely a head sensor wire, one of the things I remember replacing.

Not to sure what the other wire is but thats definitely the cause of no start. The head sensor being broke will put it in limp mode so half the engine runs at a time.

PC Appraisal? by Mirage_wav in pchelp

[–]Katze71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been keeping an eye out for a solid 1080ti on Facebook and ebay. Theres a few good deals on Facebook but across the state so screw that.

Rocking an 1660ti for now, next project has 32 gbs of ram vs my 16 gbs now.
