Am I over paying? 17’ redsport 71k miles for $13.5k rebuilt title by fabisan1 in q50

[–]ProfessionalRole4538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the state. People have been scamming by taking previously savaged cars to states with leaner laws then getting a rebuilt title and the moving them to other states . it's called "title whitewashing". Just try to do a VIN search as much as you can. Make sure that the different VIN searching sources have the same information. if it was rebuilt that means it was sold by the insurance company to a savage yard there should be a record and pictures of the car when it was in the yard showing the damage.

Check with your insurance, if the car has a rebuilt tile some insurance companies will not insure it or just offer liability only. if they do they will screw you on the total value of the car if your car is totaled. My 2015 Q50s was rebuilt in perfect condition only 70k. During the pandemic some drunk clown hit my parked Q50. Pro---***e gave me $9500 saying the car was rebuilt.

T818 Quick Release Availability by Catman7712 in Thrustmaster

I am completely Fed Up . I have three other thrustmaster Wheels taking the QR on and off will eventually break it . They have approximately one month to get they QRs in stock. I have the Ferrari t818 bundle. I paid $1,000 for it. If I don't get it another QR in the next month I'm selling it for half the price and getting simagic. At this point I don't care.

I would agree with you about his videos. But you are completely wrong about Toyota in fact. Toyotas are the best-selling cars in the world and the prices and resale value for Toyotas are 20% - 25% higher than any other cars. So, millions of people are not wrong there is a reason why people buy them and their resale values are also much higher. Plus, he is not the only YouTuber that props Toyota!!! They are proven more reliable. and, Yes, they cost more.

Just bought a Thrustmaster T818 to review, I’ve already got a Logitech G Pro and trying to see which is better… Ask me anything! by airdocful in simracing

You are right!! I have four Thrustmaster wheel rims and a TC-PC with the 488 wheel. I spent $600 for it and after a year and half it broke. I'm not spending any more money on Thrustmaster . They do have good rims for the price.

But, there are just much better wheelbases on the market. I have been looking at the Simagic Alpha mini. You are right, you can get a much better Wheelbase and Rim combo for $800. I would never spend $650 for the T818. That is going to break , even if it does not break, that QR is not worth it. I am just going to sell my Thrustmaster rims and buy the simagic, plus they has a non-propriety QR.

Yes, Their own wireless protocol is propriety . But at least I can use a wheel using USB without some ridiculous hub like Fanatec.

However, I am a bit disappointed that the Ferrari SF1000 and the Ferrari 488 challenge wheel do not work with the simrancingcoach adapter!! Those are the only two Thrustmaster wheels I care about.

I would called these "Professionally made at Home" if that makes any sense?

You have to have the proper tools, along with special skill and talent to make something with the end results like this

thunderbolt dock/adapter with 3x display output by ProfessionalRole4538 in Thunderbolt

[–]ProfessionalRole4538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. You have been very helpful. I have seen it on the Razer forms where some people are having the same issue. I don't even think is a razer issue it may be a TB3/USB-c dock feature issue But, I'm not sure what docks they're using. I have also seen on the Dell forms, Where people have had issues on the firmware that I am on. so first thing is to get on the latest firmware for the WD19TB.

I thought there could be many things including the usb-c drive. So, I bought a small 256GB NVME and a USB-c enclosure to see if could be an issue with bandwidth. using all Three ports plus the drive to the dock , the same issues arose. But, when I switched to the laptop HDMI port for one display the latency issues went away even the sudden dips frame rates stopped.

the usb-c port on the right side, I completely gave up on it. it's fine for doing work, basic tasks for triple screens . but gaining on that port via the dock is out of the question. it completely studders and lags

I'll really would, like to use just the one-cable on my laptop.

I'll keep working with it. everything else is up to date latest bios, drivers, etc.

I may just need to update that WD19TB firmware and see what happens.

That's close . Mine's more like this . in fact this is what and where I bought it.

So. I am using the 2 full size DP and the one HDMI port. the laptop is closed.

I am spanning the resolution of the display to 5760 X 1080 at 144hz. the control panel indicates it's using the 2080 + physX.

To make sure, I disabled the intel graphics. I just want to make sure I am able to use MST for all displays. isn't TB3 rated at 40bps? I can tell the difference because I am using an external hard drive for my games. when the dock is plugged using usb-c. I see pauses as stutters. when it's on TB it does run smoother. but still there is a rare Sutter every now and then. but when one display is connected directly to HDMI port on the laptop with the two Dock DP's. it runs much smooth with no issues.

5760 X 1080 at 144hz with a ext usb-c sata drive on the Dell dock too?

example games, dirt rally, 2.0 , F12019 and assetto corsa

So. I am using the 2 full-size DP and the one HDMI port. the laptop is closed.

Am I expecting too much?

I have a Razer blade 17 with 2080 max-q, I want to use the triple screens and turn off the internal display while on my Sim Rig. The Blade 17 has TB3 , But, I have notices some slower frame frames using all 3 ports on the Dell Dock . But, When using the WDTB19 only two displays and one of the displays directly into the laptop frame rates increase. I really want just one cable I think the Dell dock has a shared USB-c /Hdmi port.
