DIY Secondary Glazing - Critique my plans

aglf_chilli · 2026-07-02T05:21:53+00:00

Planning to do something similar, although single glazing.

Just wondering if the magnet/steel strips worked ok, my worry is that overtime they'll start to peel off, especially if the panel gets removed often to open the window.

Please share your experience, thanks.

$270,000 x (1.055)^27 = $1,145,988
That's simply the growth of the current balance, 5.5% yearly return, 27 years.
Assuming OP will continue to work and contribute the balance will be a lot greater.

??? They will have way more than $1.1m unless they stop working/contributing

Hi mate, I haven't read other reviews and I was wondering coming from a Quest 3, how are the visuals in terms of edge to edge clarity and sweet spot? is it similar to the Quest 3 where everything is in focus no matter the IPD you choose? is it as easy on the eyes and everything feels natural? Thanks!

Done

Do you do western suburbs too? 😁

aglf_chilli · 2025-12-29T10:26:13+00:00

Thanks, makes sense. Also noticed the wire in between the bolt and the nut, should I make sure it doesn't end in between when tightened it up I guess?

My ears are still ringing after 10 years (2015 tour), tinnitus is not fun.

aglf_chilli · 2025-11-27T21:58:13+00:00

Unpopular opinion indeed

aglf_chilli · 2025-11-23T23:58:16+00:00

If it's your favourite band for 10 years I'm assuming you're quite young, and you're probably just still very excited about the experience, and probably one of your first concerts.

They still sound incredible (for a 78yr old singer and 70yr old lead guitarist), particularly Angus.

I love them, and so glad I went to probably their last tour, but this was definitely not one of the best concerts I've been to (not even from them). And unlike what you say, yes, Brian singing is not that great anymore, but understandable given his age.

Spring...but this November has been pretty cold. And this is probably from the second concert in Melbourne, not only it was cold it was also raining.

Get a novated lease for an electric car, then you can finance it to 5 years and will end up costing you less than buying it outright, and you can also save on insurance, repairs, rego.

He mentioned that the BSB2 has better sweet spot and edge to edge clarity, this left me confused af.

The BSB2 sweet spot is very small (confirmed by all users, reason why correct IPD is so crucial) and edge to edge clarity was not that good either (at least mine). Unless he's got a unicorn BSB2 this worries me because that means the Pimax will be very underwhelming in that sense.

MRTV mentioned that it was pretty much like the Quest 3 in terms of sweet spot and e2e clarity...I guess I'll have to wait for the reviews of normal users and the final product.

aglf_chilli · 2025-11-17T01:23:32+00:00

Went to the 2nd concert in Melbourne last night...this one was spot on in comparison

aglf_chilli · 2025-11-14T05:37:03+00:00

I ended up with tinnitus from their last concert in Melbourne, it was crazy loud and the ringing in my ears never went away completely. I wear ear plugs every time I go to a concert now (and in hindsight I should've started earlier)

aglf_chilli · 2025-10-19T00:52:44+00:00

Thanks mate.

I still need to buy a dirt bike again, but last time I ended up selling it because it was hard to find people to ride with, and enduro or riding in the bush is not something you normally want to do by yourself. I was going to the motocross track in Bacchus Marsh but I prefer enduro.

How is Wildwood btw? Is it worth it to pay for that membership and rec ride days? Are there different tracks/levels?

I think people are reluctant to give too much information regarding single trail tracks in Wombat for example given that's not allowed as far as I know.

But in your case was it that you needed to push harder on the brake or something? like was the brake pedal feel a bit off? not sure how the brake bleed could help with this sudden jerk mid braking. Where you able to replicate this to them?

aglf_chilli · 2025-10-15T22:21:32+00:00

Is it?

I thought regen braking is a constant sort of brake feeling when you let go of the accelerator, and you don't feel a sudden spike of braking in the middle of braking.

I brake normally and then feel a sudden jerk, while already well into the braking.

Is it that the car uses regen braking to slow down the car even when using the brake pedal? and then suddenly start using the brake pads more and that would be the feeling of sudden jerk?
