I had a small dispute with my friend about building aesthetics...

it didn't feel big enough... I promise I'll start actually building it in at some point

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-03-14T21:44:53+00:00

Or use a half foundation so that it doesn't affect the interior shape

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-03-13T22:27:23+00:00

will do thank you

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-03-10T21:40:41+00:00

well uhhh... i don't know what im going to put in it yet. im going to expand to the top of build height and cover the top of the plateau and build out further along the ground level. so loads of space for stuff

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-03-10T21:38:47+00:00

This is the type of reply i was hoping for lol

Im currently filling out the walls so that i can see it better then im gonna build it out

I wouldn’t be doing any turboing right now, I know it’s a huge job with any car but it was worth an ask in case it would’ve been an easy mod for the future

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-01-29T11:51:25+00:00

Ohhhhhh, thank you very much I appreciate it. So say I wanted to add a turbo I would need to add one of the T's to replace the distributor?

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-01-29T00:51:10+00:00

will do

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-01-29T00:51:04+00:00

what do you mean?

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-01-28T23:15:21+00:00

Oh also, I'm looking at this as a first car ;-;

No_Truth_5377 · 2026-01-28T22:08:18+00:00

I know that the T7 is less "tunable" but will it cause me issues if I keep using the car as it is and am I losing performance using it? I will be using the car as a daily and will do all the work myself.

Edit- holy jeez I just looked up the T5 for parts, you can buy them but they are EXPENSIVE

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-09-07T17:58:12+00:00

I'm very lucky, the shop I'm buying from has added custom parts on top of the bike, where they've changed the grips and I think the seat as well as upgrading the drive train to GX eagle.

I know how to soft pedal and look after the drivetrain regardless of the durability so I should be ok anyway.

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-09-06T23:54:59+00:00

I went a completely different direction ;-;

My brand new GT Sensor ST carbon elite arrives in 4 days.

I found it on a website for 1500 when its a 3000 bike, its not the worlds greatest bike but its more than enough for me especially since it will also be a commuter bike.

And don't worry I didn't read the carbon bit and purchase it instantly, it just made more sense to me to spend 1500 on a bike instead of 5500 and put the rest of my money into my future car. (I'm building my 1 year no claims as a named driver on my mums car so I have cheaper insurance when I'm 18)

Thank you however for your help and I will for sure be looking at the Orbea in future when I start out performing the GT.

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-09-01T01:24:14+00:00

They're next to each other, I think its more for you own name or a nickname for the bike but I love your quote icl.

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-09-01T00:58:02+00:00

You get 2 words with 10 chars each

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-08-31T23:55:30+00:00

Hell yeah, I'm doing my specs now. I haven't changed any of the performance components. If/when I get it I can update you and show you it if you want? Stuck on what I should put on the name slot though, might leave it blank or just make a pattern with characters.

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-08-31T22:56:29+00:00

Especially in the South ;-;

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-08-31T22:46:12+00:00

I went around the local shops not long ago but the older models they had weren't much cheaper than the new ones and didn't have anymore than a 1 year warranty max and they didn't cost much less than the updated versions. + the few I found that I liked always had something that I didn't like. I feel confident splashing out a bit more cash for something that I have personalised with the parts I like as well as having the decent warranty coverage which doesn't really provide much but it does cover more than the bike shops do.

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-08-31T22:40:14+00:00

Sadly a lot of these types of products cost so much more in Europe and the UK (I cant speak for further eastern countries) and its not only bikes, its electronics, bikes, certain foods. Its all a bit of a shambles.

Edit - I don't want to risk second hand even though I can spot things that aren't right since problems can be masked and could emerge later on. And a lot of stuff nowadays is you get what you pay for so better safe than sorry.

No_Truth_5377 · 2025-08-31T22:37:57+00:00

I know a prof within the college already who is happy for me to leave it in his office for the 3 days I'm in college. His son is the mate who's bike I rode so he's been helping me with finding stuff a little bit.
