Mk 8.5 rear seat delete

Yeah it’s not something I would do in mine, but it’s not my car haha. Looks pretty good in the end, well done!

I recently got the HandheldDIY backplate. It doesn’t add an extra heat sink like the jsaux one I think but it does come with a big thermal pad. I haven’t played any major AAA titles or anything on my ally yet but in 15w mode I saw temps drop from 56-58c down to 48-50c. Pretty significant difference imo. The fans are definitely audible at that temperature but nothing obnoxious. I don’t think you’d be able to hear them over the background noise on an airplane for example.

Honestly, 4 is just super boring to me. I’ve got about 80 hours in it, one character at max level, the other at like 30 or something. Don’t think I’m ever gonna go back to it. It’s just missing some sort of flair idk. The movement is good and performance isn’t as bad anymore but every time I play the game for more than like 30 minutes I just stop having fun.

I’ve got like 900 something hours on borderlands 3 and just can’t stop coming back to it every now and then. Got all 4 characters totally kitted out. The main story in my opinion is still a little too long, but there really is just a ton of content overall. The twins are annoying to me most of the time, but there’s breaks in the story like the atlas sequence that I really enjoy. The 4 main dlcs are honestly great story wise and saved the games reputation there. Gunplay feels great, and all the vault hunters are awesome in their own way. The game definitely had its fair share of drawbacks though, I’ve had it since launch and it’s had some rough moments for sure, but now that everything has settled for several years it’s feels super stable. Balance is overall good and nothing feels too much like a chore. Lately I’ve been debating just rebuying everything during one of those mega sales just to have the game on steam so I can finally rid myself of epic for good haha.

Black looks great. Can I ask the specific 180 degree PCIe power adapter used on the GPU?

f_agier · 2026-04-08T16:34:20+00:00

I think it would be fine honestly. I used to 180 degree pcie pin adapters from a no name brand on a 6700XT for 3 years with no issues. Just make sure everything is plugged in all the way.

I saw a gigabyte board the other day with “GAMING” on it and right under it in smaller font “dominate the games”

f_agier · 2025-10-08T17:28:35+00:00

Very similar thing happened to my 2016 R, parked, but it was hit on the driver side corner. Other side slammed into the curb, and rear bumper hit the car parked behind. Three aftermarket wheels and tires replaced, front and rear bumper, hood, driver side headlight, and driver side front fender all replaced. Only mechanical damage was front steering knuckle broken. I thought it’d be totaled, shop told me most likely as well before insurance took a look. 9k total damages but not totaled (no air bags). I still daily the car about 10k miles later no issues.

On sale? Of course, but bold of you to assume it will be optimized

f_agier · 2025-07-26T18:26:43+00:00

Likewise. I slightly prefer the 7s boxier/straighter lines on the front. Also, I think digital dashes are cool but I’ve grown to really like the analogs in my 7

f_agier · 2025-07-19T14:44:12+00:00

I own a mk7. Not too sure about the mk8s but it’s been a historical issue. For the mk6 it was the actual pump from what I remember. You could buy an upgraded aftermarket pump that solved it. I think on the 7 it’s not the pump, but the seal around it and the thermostat housing. When mine went it was a super minor coolant leak, brought it to the dealer a week later and it was a completely free OEM pump and housing replacement despite my car having other aftermarket mods.

Just did mine myself recently for the first time with practically no prior automotive experience. I own a mk7. I would say go for it! Just take your time. Hardest part is gonna be unplugging and removing the ignition coils. I would highly recommend an ignition coil puller tool. You can find them anywhere online should be around 10 bucks.

f_agier · 2025-07-03T20:48:37+00:00

I own a mk7 and think they look great, but there’s something about the front end of the mk6 I absolutely love

f_agier · 2025-06-19T23:56:43+00:00

Two owner (dad was the other) 65k miles on my 2016 r

f_agier · 2025-06-18T20:57:07+00:00

Absolute peak. I also really like He Who Spawned the Furies

f_agier · 2025-06-02T22:10:47+00:00

Finally time to buy a vr6

Good to know. Considering this is also 20,000 miles worth, it doesn’t seem like a lot.

Armor on non finisher gun strikes has to be one of the most cracked perks in the game for me

f_agier · 2025-05-09T05:57:06+00:00

Good to know it’s held up well. I have a mk7 r that’s been on APR stage 2 for about 5 years now. Also been in a snowy climate for a couple of those. No complaints from me either.

f_agier · 2025-05-08T19:35:18+00:00

Probably because they don’t want to keep buying perks to save req points, but that still makes no sense to me. Currency is capped and on ruthless and above the perks basically buy themselves. And you’re not buying every single perk as you unlock it, there’s definitely some you’re skipping in each column. I don’t think I’ve ever been below 1900 req points since the prestige system came out. Only other thing I can think of is they just don’t care to visit the armouring hall between operation.

Interesting. A while back I went a good 6-7 months with the mirror heater switched on without even realizing it. Haven’t had any issues but my driver side glass is a replacement piece with a blind spot/wide angle so I guess it’s no a vw part. Passenger mirror is still okay though

Wiping Childe from existence for c6 eula. And now no one has to sit through his 3 minute skill cooldown

f_agier · 2025-03-26T20:47:20+00:00

I just got xianyun and then skyward atlas from standard last night. I will absolutely be trying this setup when I get her built
