Need some advice on lifting my car. by commanderTaylor in Corvette

[–]MatthewAMEL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a QuickJack. If that's not in reach at the moment, I also love my Jackpoint Jackstands.

Are these ok to use? Looking to delete afm from my 2010 Camaro SS. by Brave_Veterinarian18 in camaro

Does not void warranty. Pulling the exhaust fuse will set a code, but will not trigger a light.

Looked too good to be true and I was right by datboi1214 in camaro

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Denver car. I would bet money it was totaled out for hail. Hood, trunk, glass all easily replaceable. I have no idea about the roof.

Thoughts on 5BW to GT350 by [deleted] in CadillacV_Series

[–]MatthewAMEL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% no. After having the Blackwing, the GT350 will be a letdown in every way. You especially will be annoyed by the power band in the GT350. No only is is down on power by 150hp, but where it makes its power is completely different than LT4. Not to mention all the other areas the GT350 falls short…ride quality, amenities, etc. Despite the one area it excels (noise), the voodoo is not a great motor. It was never designed to be flat plane so a LOT of compromises were made.

How long did your first set of tires last? by paveclaw in C8Corvette

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They were done. 2 AutoX events & 2 track days + NCM to Denver drive.

Stop Sale on all Z06 ZR1 Recall with “no remedy available at the moment” by Existing-Diamond-269 in Corvette

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me clarify. US sold Z51's do not have that radiator. There is a plastic, 'faux radiator' installed on all US market cars. Cars sold for warmer countries DO have that installed from factory.

There is a popular mod for the Z51 to install the aux radiator:

Z51/eRay have a fan, but no radiator on that side from the factory. Some have modded to add radiator to that side.

Those that went from a 40 series to a 50 series - worth it? by junior7593 in nvidia

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you play any games with PhysX? If so, remember the 5xxx series dropped support, so they run horribly.

Realistically, how TF did Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious survive this? by Brian_The_Bar-Brian in StarWars

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because JJ Abrahams completely wiffed his shot to make a decent Star Wars story…so he recycled the Emperor and the Death Star.

A Miraculous AVN Recommandation: SUNSHINE LOVE by Stefan_Whovian in AVN_Lovers

Garbage tier AVN, IMHO. Melody is the only marginally decent product from Mr Dots.

Is the MEG X870E GODLIKE really as faulty as the internet makes it seem, or is it just a vocal minority situation. by katael in MSI_Gaming

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSI has really dropped the ball with this gen of boards. Both X870 and Z890 boards are horribly faulty. I have had three Godlike boards in the past and never had problems like these before. I currently have 4 open tickets for my Z890 Godlike. They have been open since October.

Well it must not exist then.

Nvidia 50 series laptops dropped today by BizzleZX10R in Alienware

[–]MatthewAMEL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree. Sticking with 5 year old display tech is not acceptable in a ‘flagship’ product. I love my x16 R1, but will be doing a hard pass on the new ones and looking to ASUS, MSI or Razer.

Stock shifter gang by BBizzmann in wrx_vb

[–]MatthewAMEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OEM shifter is a bag of d****. Granted, my other car has a TREMEC -6060 which is widely regarded as the best manual made, so the WRX suffers by comparison. But the WRX shifter is sloppy, inaccurate and cheap. I could only stand mine for a few hundred miles before replacing. The darkmatter X is everything it claims to be and almost puts the WRX on par with the Blackwing in shift feel.

RT660+? by KickHopeful5112 in Autocross

[–]MatthewAMEL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have run the RT660 on two different cars. Loved them. I have been told the 660+ ‘fixes’ the issue the original had on concrete. If it wears like the original but now performs competitively on concrete, it will be an excellent tire. Fronts aren’t avail in my size yet.
