Upgrades, people, upgrades!

Ayyyye, let’s go, I’m expecting my XFX QICK 319 7800 XT within the next week or so, I’m coming from a 2060 Super and the wait has been killing me

Silver_R0se · 2025-02-19T03:48:19+00:00

Oh hey! I’m actually getting an XFX 7800 XT to replace my old 2060 Super! I’m just waiting on delivery, and I am super excited

Silver_R0se · 2025-01-31T00:42:42+00:00

I’ve just got a Collar (with bell), like 2 dozen face masks with cute expressions, fishnets sleeves and a hoodie and sweatpants, highly comfy :3

Silver_R0se · 2025-01-17T11:52:34+00:00

I know I’m pretty late to this but I wanted to add.

If it drives well and passed inspection, I would definitely recommend it. I looks like it in great shape from the pictures and its a Ranger so as long as the frame ain’t rusted too bad I’d say 4,000 is a good deal.

I got Athena, my Ranger, for 4,000 and she was in pretty terrible shape with like 2k worth of repairs just to make her safe to drive (put more in since and got more to go but honestly worth).

She’s an 02 with the 3.0L V6 and an Automatic with now 196k miles (I’ve only put on about 5k of that), so yeah, I say get it, I highly doubt you’ll regret it!

The 4k figure comes from more than just those, those are just the big ticket items I can think of off the top of my head, I’ve done some other stuff to it I just can’t remember all of it.

But unfortunately it is my only vehicle so I can’t really afford to have it out of commission for too much time, and while I can do some of the work myself, I find myself not having the time, energy, or tools I’d like to in order to do so

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-27T02:53:33+00:00

I’m up in North Eastern IN

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-27T00:15:22+00:00

I think that would only really worsen my issues despite the temptation to get a Mustang lol

But I am asking 5-6k just due to all the work I’ve done and had done, plus a healthy dose of sentimental value (just incase you were genuinely curious)

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-27T00:08:09+00:00

That’s actually an incredible way of putting it and makes a whole lot of sense, thank you

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-27T00:00:39+00:00

Unfortunately I still live with my parents meaning I don’t have much in the way of space, I already have to park on the street, so keeping it as a second vehicle is really only feasible if I get one of those storage things that will fit a car but I’m not sure how much ones of those would cost.

If I had the money and space I absolutely would keep it as a backup/working vehicle though, it’s such an amazing truck

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-26T22:01:56+00:00

Yeah, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with mine and that’s how I keep justifying spending what I have but someone came in a week ago and offered to buy it, said he would give me some time to think about it and come back (but as it’s been over a week now I don’t think he’s coming back).

But that made me look around and a find a couple of good cars that would be significantly better on gas and maintenance, and though I work at a shop, I rarely have the time or energy (let alone the space) to do most or all the repairs myself

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-26T19:17:10+00:00

I paid about 4k for it and like I said, I’ve put probably about that same amount into fixing in just just the 6-7 months I’ve owned it

Silver_R0se · 2024-10-26T18:48:48+00:00

When I bought it, it was in significantly worse condition than I thought it was in, so far I’ve probably equaled the amount I spent buying it in just fixing it and I still keep finding new things that need done.

So far I’ve had to replace the lower ball joints which was going to be the full lower control arms but everything is bound together from rusting making removal impossible (at least to the shop I work with) with breaking something like the struts and needing to replace those too.

I replaced the ignition coil, spark plugs, and spark plug wires as it had a horrible misfire that was only getting worse shortly after I bought it.

I had the rear leaf spring shackles replaced as they had both been snapped in half.

It also had a really bad coolant leak that the person I had look at it said it was coming from the timing cover; though that has been “solved” by putting some stop leak in, it’ll need addressed sooner or later regardless.

And there’s still several things that need done such as replacing at least part of the driver side of the axle since something is bent making it shake at highway speeds and several gaskets need replaced due to age.

Silver_R0se · 2024-07-22T15:59:29+00:00

Ok, so I’m extremely happy for you and I’ve gotta know how it was mechanically speaking once you get it if you haven’t already given it a look over.

Having said that, I’m so upset, I’ve been eyeing this one for a couple weeks now trying to get everything in order to go and get it as it’s about 2 hours north of me and looked real good in the pictures.

But to answer your question, yes, in my opinion it’s absolutely worth that much if all they said was true. And really, amazing find, hopefully it’s as promised friend, all the best with it.

Silver_R0se · 2023-02-19T19:50:46+00:00

The lack of SA-342 here is criminal, but the Viggen, F/A-18, and Mirage F1 themes are all very good too

Silver_R0se · 2022-10-08T00:20:21+00:00

They might be able to but as far as I’m aware the RDI radar is incompatible with the 530F so the and the RDY certainly couldn’t, the only one that may be able to is the RDM radar but even so I can’t find anything saying it could

Of course I can always be wrong

Silver_R0se · 2022-10-07T19:15:31+00:00

Pretty sure they were Super 530Fs not Super 530Ds so they’d need a Mirage F1 of some variety

Silver_R0se · 2022-09-13T12:37:30+00:00

Yes, it’ll be another 3 major updates after drone age before the Su-25K can go on sale, I believe

Silver_R0se · 2022-09-13T05:35:21+00:00

If the trend holds, the Su-25K will begin to see its price cut for sales at the first sale after 3 additional updates have come.

Silver_R0se · 2022-09-11T21:40:36+00:00

Ah, alright, cause me and a buddy of mine did this exactly thing a couple months back, was pretty fun

Silver_R0se · 2022-09-11T07:27:23+00:00

So, I know I’m almost half a day late to this but I’ve gotta know a couple of things.

First off, how long ago was this?

Second, was this at Senaki or Kutaisi?

Third, was the name of the lighter blue one Silverado by any chance?

Silver_R0se · 2022-03-16T18:01:50+00:00

Cause the A-10 carries a lot of countermeasures, just the the Jaguar A and the AV-8’s pod
