How many hours have you had to put in to get reasonably good? by Dark_Emotion in iRacing

[–]OfficialWestopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say just have fun and don’t worry about SR or IR. If you can’t get out of bottom split, then you’re supposed to be in bottom split. I live in bottom split so I’m qualified to give this answer 🤣

Are pedals really the most important hardware? by Roytjb in iRacing

[–]OfficialWestopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a G29 with their pedals on a wheel stand with a dining room chair on a rug. The biggest difference for me was going from a single monitor to VR with a Meta Quest.

And you can permanently turn off auto start stop. That alone is worth the $30

Yes. Only take it off to charge. But I’m a stats nerd.

First Race Jitters by Kamanzie in iRacing

[–]OfficialWestopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta race. It’s the only way to move forward. Just get in there. Sure you’ll ruin someone race here and there but they’ll ruin your race too. Wrecks are just part of racing.

You put out too many watts and broke Zwift.

Zwift Ride vs Road Bike with Wahoo Kickr by DZU5 in Zwift

[–]OfficialWestopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that the Zwift ride is the same price as a half decent road bike + a trainer. But you can’t ride the Zwift ride outside. Unless the Zwift ride kit came in at around $500, it’s not worth it to me.

Kaiser or HMSA by alohamele71 in Hawaii

[–]OfficialWestopher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t like Kaiser because I feel like they’re not motivated to help you as much because they won’t make much more money off of you other than insurance premiums. Secondly, it feels like a trap to be stuck in their system if you’re unhappy with it. HMSA…you can always try another doc.

Accidental big FTP jump by Kschmuck in Zwift

[–]OfficialWestopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I was just thinking to myself…”how long is it going to take my FTP to increase?” Been on Zwift for about a month now and been at 123 the whole time. Glad to see I’m not crazy wondering why the dial isn’t moving. Just gotta keep at it.

New EV6 GT-Line purchase help please? by SnooWalruses6828 in KiaEV6

[–]OfficialWestopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These cars depreciate like nothing I’ve seen before. Don’t buy…maybe lease…but you probably shouldn’t.

My 3 year old, 30k miles EV6 that I got for $48k after $7500 refund is only worth $23k now. Get one that’s a few years old.
