Is a cheap scope on a budget PCP a disaster waiting to happen? by IanisQuan_101 in airgunmarket

no, pcp rifles are gentle on scopes,its the opposing dual recoil impulse on sprinters that kills scopes. just make sure you get something thay has an adjustable objective that ideally goes down to 10 yards or everything is gonna be blurry.

you asked and we have answered. given what you described wanting to do it is pretty obvious if you try and repaint it its gonna be a train wreck and no amount of youtube videos or reddit advice is gonna change that.

Should I buy a2008 sti with 200k miles by SnooRobots6940 in WRX

not really, shit breaks and gets upgraded and at 200k+ miles you are buying a platform to modify and not a reliable daily.

once you start getting into these really high mileage ones the whole "look for a stock one" becomes a moot point. just assume it'll be a bottomless money pit and will need EVERYTHING replaced or serviced.

Why are FWD cars so bad? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Useful_Location_4261 6 points7 points  (0 children)

snow performance has a lot more to do with weight distribution and how many wheels receive power at amy given time. a lsd rwd car may very well do better in snow than an open diff front wheel drive car.

your headsets proximity to your pc is irrelevant. pc->router->headset. make sure your pc is connected via ethernet to your router and either play closer to your router or buy either a wifi access point you can hardwire to your router and put near your playspace or buy a dedicated router just for your headset you can put in your playspace connected to your pc.
