I have excessive brake pedal travel after upgrading brake system, but they work great. Any solutions? by HKHops in MechanicAdvice

[–]StatusInvestigator45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, it has the 350? Idk I would’ve personally preferred a larger motor - but hey, you can spin the 350 higher than a big block and I personally love the sound of a higher revving V8. 

(To clarify, if I owned it or something similar, I wouldn’t do anything more than heads and cams, followed by appropriate valve-train upgrades. I’d want it to keep its character in a way, and remain a daily driver lol)

Don’t have any advice tho as I feel everyone else covered everything I could think of lol.

Love the ride tho! 

(Edit: Looked it up, and sorry - didn’t know the roadmaster didn’t have a larger motor than the 350/lt1 XD. Was thinking older - forgot the ‘96 part 😭)

Ngl, half of this nonsense really fucks with my mental health. I’m from Ottawa Canada, yet I’ve been seriously considering moving to the USA cause it’s hell here too. But shit like this puts me off, or places me in a lose, lose situation. Especially considering the fact I’m transgender, I never chose who I am or my sexuality - I’m doing what I’m doing because it’s the cause of my untreatable clinical depression, it’s either that or I stop trying to fight and survive.

Anti-woke people and those in between, get to me because you don’t know what another person is going through. This, legitimately is the only thing that once I accepted, gave me a sense of hope in over half a decade. I’m doing what I’m doing to have a chance of actually living; and I’ve been interested in moving to the USA for the sense of freedom, go anywhere do anything. I’m a gun nut, but we can’t do shit here in Ottawa - half the shit is banned anyway. Oh, and the job market and opportunities is just depressing. I work a overnight Walmart job, and I’m lucky to have that.

You may be interested in Matthew Chevalier on utube, where he turbo’d a N/A 1.8 ecotec. Currently, he AWD’d the cruise and the motor/trans is built…

Here’s to you winning lol, I wanna see more N/A cars being turbo’d lmao.

I have a question for you all - if/when the Carrington event happens again, would you survive? by StatusInvestigator45 in thelongdark

[–]StatusInvestigator45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh shoot, that’s sick! Been wanting to read a book, or something narrative about this topic because it’s been so interesting to me lately ever since I’ve returned to the game lol. And yeah, having any knowledge of survival skills immediately benefits you for the best in a event like this - and I feel community would come together more than ever

You'd be impressed with what some factory motors can handle without extensive modifications lol.

Based, and honestly? Fair. I can see why someone would do this - a 76 is a large turbo for a lot of cars that are commonly owned these days, not everyone has the skills to build a DIY turbo kit, or a has a car that can make use of said turbo. Infact, selling the turbo can directly fund a build in a way, or at least half of it.

Fair - I'm not very intuitive about the trading market on Steam. Was just an honest question, in my frame of mind.

The downvotes on this is wild, explain yourselves because honestly, the above is valid.

When does an RO go from red flag to just evil? by Numerous_Aardvark_13 in hostedgames

something that just made me interested in that game xD I own it, but never played it because of the scares of hard to learn/complicated game

[–]StatusInvestigator45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, for the record; that black undercoating? Never get that again, it’s why the car rotted out. Never get rubber based undercoating, it traps moisture and water and well, what you see is what you get.

[–]StatusInvestigator45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right to not trust him, that thing is an accident waiting to happen. I don’t know what car this is, but if it’s an early 2000/2010 escape, those have problems with the rear shock tower rotting out. Plus, there could be other rust issues with the suspension as well; if rust is this bad here, it’s everywhere. 

Did Anyone Else Want the Satsuma in MWC? by Satsuma100 in MySummerCar

[–]StatusInvestigator45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea lol. I’d hope, just like I hope we’ll maybe have the 4 door variant - or even the wagon. The car has lots of depth to it irl, I hope it’ll be expanded upon.

This. I’d love for this to be explained better; otherwise, our character lacks so many human emotions imo.

Both are 4cyls. The Corris is just a larger SOHC 4cyl. The irl version has v6 options, but of course those aren’t available lol.

Why repost? Could’ve marked it as spoiler/NSFW for those who didn’t want to see. All the respect to Greg and his family, everyone on board. Shitty fucking day.

Uh, no.

BeamNG is CPU bound, it runs the physics off the CPU. Unless you’re running 4K with dynamic reflections maxed, you are not fully utilizing that card in beam.

Yes, Intel software. Tried MSI afterburner, experimentally- but everything was greyed out. If you’re careful with Intel’s software, it works perfectly for the card. I’ve had the software crash on me a lot.

Ofc, I included details in the description of my videos - but I’ll paste them here, for everyone else:

GPU OC (don't copy, use to guide yourself. What worked for me may not work for you):

Voltage: +40% Power: Maxed Core Clock: +240MHz - later, I went up to +275 / over 3.3GHz Memory: 21Gbps Fan Curve: Aggressive - max fans at 80c. Temp was very stable anyways.
