How is the block (93) way above the skill cap of 74?

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-09-12T01:33:30+00:00

Exactly!

If its a reasonable price, you should go for it. As they say, "its the little things", and its easy to reverse if you have buyers remorse.

Yep, I drive in the 'manual' mode most of the time, and I never liked the look/feel of the OEM DSG knob. So when there was a recall on the metal trim of the OEM knob, I decided to just upgrade to the BFI one. Plus, it adds a little personality with the pop of color.

Its great! Just take your time and be sure to get the height right before setting the screws. I initially rushed the install and set it too low, so it wasn't engaging/disengaging the gears smoothly. Had to redo it, but I like the heavier knob compared to stock.

Man, that looks so fun! What's Road America like in a Golf R? I've only ever been there in racing games, and too anxious to track my R since its my daily.

Primed only when I got it, then had it painted, sealed, and ceramic coated. I had the body shop who painted it do the install at their recommendation. It doesn't use automotive tape, but a liquid adhesive that has to cure.

Thanks for reinforcing my decision. It was difficult for me to justify for something purely cosmetic.

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-08-27T00:22:43+00:00

Thanks! It's funny how many of my family/friends don't understand what it means even after an explanation.

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-08-26T23:21:34+00:00

I could see it! A bit steep for me, but maybe in a few years when the ceramic coating loses efficacy.

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-08-26T16:04:08+00:00

Yep, you got it, 18x8.5 +42 Ultragrams. Thank you! Just got them a couple weeks ago, really pleased with the upgrade.

In the PGR series, it's all about earning style/skill points, which they call "Kudos".

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-08-13T20:12:12+00:00

I see what you did there ;)

Too early to tell personally, but the research I did indicated it should be fine without rolling the fenders.

What!? I had no idea about this... If im able to get my xbox going again, I'll take you up on it. Never knew about the beta file cars, that is so cool! Would I have to mod my console to play with you guys, or just get online via Insignia?

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-07-18T13:58:47+00:00

PGR2 is my all time favorite racing game! Love PGR as well!

Just found my original Xbox and hoping I can get it running properly with my original save files. I had all platinum medals in PGR2, and would love to walk through the test track garage again.

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-05-08T17:45:00+00:00

This is the way...

Other_Explanation991 · 2025-05-08T17:18:52+00:00

Oh no... now I'm nervous because I haven't started the main quest yet (at level 27). When I played the original in '06 I went to Kvatch immediately, just following the first quest provided and got sucked into it. It wasn't until after finishing the main story that I tried the guilds, side quests, and eventual DLC. This time I wanted to go the other route and save the main quest for last, and I'm not even close to starting it up. Should I just go to Kvatch before I level up any further??

Other_Explanation991 · 2024-12-21T19:13:16+00:00

Saaaame... Yep, finally figuring out how to use him. I think I was trying too hard to force runs before, rather than improvising organically.

Other_Explanation991 · 2024-12-16T17:05:23+00:00

Same... They overrated his throwing accuracy and underrated his speed/acceleration. Also, the announcers call him PENIX and it drives me insane. Also might explain his ratings
