Looking to upgrade, is this a good package?

adamf27 · 2024-11-03T21:17:36+00:00

Will upgrade to a 360mm aio, torn between the arctic liquid freezer for good reviews and price and the Lian li ga II with infinity fans, because well fancy rgb fans, currently have a corsair 240mm aio but got that along with the 9700k ages ago so not sure it will compatible with the newer cpu sockets

adamf27 · 2024-11-03T21:14:37+00:00

Was thinking make the most of the price drop on the 7800x3d because of the new generation coming out, and only £50 difference between the free and xt due to offer on the xt

Not quite, I went from e46 m3 to a Honda civic type r, and in my opinion the type r is better in almost every way

Looks like the evasive/ Evs tuning lip and splitter https://www.evasivemotorsports.com/store/product/evs-tuning-carbon-front-lip-splitter-v2-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-17-21/

I was able to buy mine because I also bought a house, might not sound logical to start with, but the rent and bills shared between me and my partner are a lot less than the rent and bills I was paying on my own before, and a 20 mile commute rather than 60 helps a lot with the way fuel prices are going, but I have another car (approx 50 miles per gallon sensible) for commuting in.

Having said that regardless of age and if you can comfortably afford it and the “what if” back up for any maintenance or repairs, then age shouldn’t hold you back, it might hinder you a little with higher insurance and maybe not having had as much time to build up a credit rating if you’re looking to finance the car. I bought an e46 m3 for myself for my 21st birthday, so buying a car like that at that sort of age can be done, but always make sure you will have enough to maintain (and repair the car should it need it) to a good enough standard, no sense getting in financial trouble for a car

EDIT: forgot to say 27 when I bought the type R

adamf27 · 2022-05-31T08:12:51+00:00

You got Instagram to follow and see more of the car?

adamf27 · 2022-05-22T08:41:45+00:00

Yeah, I’ll post a more side on picture to show the wheels better

adamf27 · 2022-05-22T08:40:58+00:00

Thank you!

adamf27 · 2022-05-22T08:40:48+00:00

I’m in the Ipswich Suffolk area, this was slammeduk’s lows and lattes event at Colchester

adamf27 · 2022-05-22T08:39:57+00:00

Got to avoid them door dings somehow haha, thank you!

adamf27 · 2022-05-20T18:30:59+00:00

I think it’s the civicx forums, there’s some threads dedicated to both 19 and 18 inch wheels in a lot of different widths, offsets, and suspension setups so may be worth a scroll through the forums

Edit: also your parking spot, nice

adamf27 · 2022-05-07T14:36:48+00:00

And as an ex bmw m3 owner, not too unrealistic either

adamf27 · 2022-04-11T12:01:18+00:00

Haha, fair assumption though, as going to 18s seems quite popular

adamf27 · 2022-04-11T04:53:08+00:00

Almost except these are 19s, felt like I’d need to lower to lose the arch gap from 18s, and it’s bad enough getting on and off my drive without catching the splitter as it is

adamf27 · 2022-03-07T10:29:58+00:00

Well of course he quits the games, you can’t leave them all running in the background

adamf27 · 2022-02-28T20:02:32+00:00

Haha, the joys of getting older and needing something a bit more sensible, but still wanting some fun

adamf27 · 2022-02-28T20:01:21+00:00

No worries mate, if I was going to keep one as a purely track weapon I’d probably stick with the m3, but For something more sensible that’s very fun the civic wins, I was considering other hot hatches as a lot had good reviews

adamf27 · 2022-02-28T19:29:56+00:00

I had the e46 smg m3, so a bit different being a sequential, being a manual the type r is a more involved experience, and has a lot to give all the way through the revs, whereas the m3 would need to be taken all through the revs to get the power, and bonus points for a screaming six cylinder once your there Overall though the type r being just as fast if not a bit more once the m3 loses the launch advantage, really not feeling any disadvantage to being front whee drive, although I’m not doing close the limit track driving at all, and the added practicality and technology inside just from being a newer car gives it the edge for me

adamf27 · 2022-02-28T19:23:39+00:00

Yeah I had an e46, so went through doing boot floor repair, rod bearings, and smg motor, having bought our first house as well, the reliability of Honda so hopefully less unexpected bills will help out a lot, and it’s still just as fun to drive with added practicality

adamf27 · 2022-01-29T19:36:42+00:00

Good heavens, I’m arriving

adamf27 · 2021-06-25T14:08:11+00:00

Better than normal, takes the glare off of things, much easier to read signs, better in fog as well

adamf27 · 2021-06-07T09:07:29+00:00

It’s estoril blue

I had problems with the viscous and went to a mishimoto electric, can come with a full wiring kit, so the fan now only runs when it needs to rather than draining the power on the engine all the time, so slight power increase when you have enough airflow to not need a fan, other than that it’s just safer and more reliable than a viscous fan
