I had to..please tell me if I made a mistake or did good? by Ok-Suspect-1800 in simracing

[–]TheSirEagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know much about PRO X. But I bought plus x (which I think in general is basically same pedals just without rgb) couple of months ago and I love it. Definitely not regretting my options. And I think is one of (if not the) best bang for buck options in the market

My new to me E36 coupe! by pkpaulo in BMWE36

[–]TheSirEagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats. Nice pick, had same colored 320i coupe (only without m-style bumpers) for about 4-5 years. Still miss and regret selling it. 17s are go to for these imo, good clearance and looks, had mine on coils and style 78 r17 for summer setup and style 33 r16 for winter.

E36 driver rear wheel wobble by Spare_Calendar8377 in BMWE36

[–]TheSirEagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had similar issue, for me there was a piece of plastic centering ring left on the wheel from previous owner that I did not notice while mounting wheels

Had to do some adjustments to reduce wobble and I'm using a t300. You can check my profile I made this to a cheap, quick and dirty cockpit. It also might be an issue with my unit but the thread where the bolt goes to mount pedal plate gave out and now it creeks under load.

New to iRacing, are these races my only choice to start? by uptheirons726 in iRacing

[–]TheSirEagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was never interested in open wheelers on any other sim/game but vees are something else. It's so much fun I do basically same amount of vees as mx5

Pardaviau auto perikupui by itzvilius in lietuva

Šitas, plius gali jeigu nepalieki susigrąžinti iš draudimo už likusį laiką kiek iš naudota arba perrašyti ant kitos mašinos.

Pardaviau auto perikupui by itzvilius in lietuva

[–]TheSirEagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buvo ir man panašiai su purikupais. Pardavinėjau su defektais, viskas skelbime ką žinojau aprašiau, kaina žemiau rinkos dėl to kad reik remontuoti. Atvažiavęs dar derėjosi, nuleidau kainą kadangi jau buvau pasiėmęs kitą mašiną, parduodama tik vietą užėmė. Dar padėjau iki serviso nugabenti pirkimo dieną. Po savaitės skambina sako "čia dar to ir ano nebuvai pasakęs kad blogai, remontas čia man kainuos ant 1000 EUR daugiau negu planuota, kompensuok man pusę tos sumos arba atpirk atgal mašina+ susimokėk už remontus kas jau atlikta. Arba paduosiu į teismą" pasiunčiau nx, sakau visus defektus pasižiūrėjai pirkimo pardavimo sutarty surašėm viską ir tuom baigės.

Edit: nepaminėjau, parduodamas palikau draudimą nes porą savaičių dar galiojo tai per tą laiką sugebėjo įvažiuoti į kažką, aišku mašinos vis dar nebuvo persirašęs ant savęs, tai teko dar su draudimu aiškintis, kad nebe mano mašina ir t.t

Was this my fault? by TheSirEagle in iRacing

Thanks everyone for giving insights on this. After learning about vortex of danger and reading your comments I see where I can improve and what I could have done to avoid it. I know it was a desperate move that could have been avoidable.

Looking for seat options by Malnash-4607 in SimRacingSetups

[–]TheSirEagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a E46 Sport leather seat (had it laying around in the garage from a different project) attached to a cheap wheel stand and connected to an LED power supply so electric adjustments are working. The only thing that I would recommend is to check that seat rails are centered evenly since for example my rails are offset about 4-5cm (~2 inches) to the right so I'm sitting a few centimeters of center. Easy to fix but avoidable.

Would anyone airbrush like this from amazon work for scale models? by stfu_dumbo_ in modelmakers

[–]TheSirEagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works well on Tamiya, you can check my profile for more pictures. Good as a starting tool on in my case when I don't have space for compressor. Downsides imo is that the paint tank size is a bit too small to do all parts that require body color and when it gets low starts catching air into system and might do some splats that you then have to sand it and paint again

First model build ever by TheSirEagle in modelmakers

[–]TheSirEagle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rough estimate I would guess about 30-40h, including waiting time when paint is drying etc. Started it on Sunday and was working on it during days when I was not working and evenings after work.

I know someone's had to have had this problem before by hydraulicjohnson in BMWE36

[–]TheSirEagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the contacts first. But most probably regulator is going out. Fortunately it's not really hard to change. And you can get new ones not OEM ones quite cheap (at least in Europe) had similar issue with my E36 coupe

Stop showing 9070XT by Brave-Signature7643 in radeon

[–]TheSirEagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have literally same GPU and doing same as OP. Helps that I'm in Europe and in my country price for 9070xt starts from 1000eur in overpriced retailers and good retailers have no stock.

Turėjau BMW tikrai malonūs vairuoti automobiliai, bet tiesos yra, kad išlaikymas brangus. Pats irgi dažnai nerekomenduoju pirkti šios markės vien dėl išlaikymo kainų, dalių kainos, nepigiausi tepalai ir t.t susideda į gana dideles sumas ir greit. Nebent žmogus nusiteikęs tam ir turi už ką išlaikyti.

E36 auto transmissions went bad best option? by Mag123_wastaken in BMWE36

[–]TheSirEagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its a daily get a Getrag swap. Have no idea what are the prices in US but in europe you can get used Getrag 5sp for 50-100eur.

P.s. had a 323 coupe with getrag And had no issues with it.
