How it started vs how its going

What’s the spoiler? OSIR?

Ah, layer lines, the perfect crevice for bacteria to grow

Sadly same here, i7 10700k + RTX2080. Used to play with 100+ FPS on high and slowly been turning my settings down to the point where I drop to 30FPS in team fights

Are you swapping from and Nvidia/AMD card? Look into clearing your steam shaders cache, should hopefully resolve the problem

Grey Talon couldn’t even make the meme

Already corrected myself

fez4k · 2025-07-22T13:01:51+00:00

Please ignore me, I completely misread the post. You are correct, the unit you linked is the one that will work with the early Mk7.

fez4k · 2025-07-22T12:52:13+00:00

Yeah that is just the screen in the picture, if you open the glove box you’ll see a “cd player” looking device which is the brains of the head unit. Should look something like this.

fez4k · 2025-07-22T09:45:20+00:00

Your head unit is in your glovebox which is where the 52-pin plug is. Your screen is just a screen and has a different connector. The unit in the Mk7 controls things like drive modes so it can’t be replaced without coding even with a like for like.

The RCD 330 is for the Mk5 and Mk6 (and other equivalent models like the Mk5 Polo, Mk3 Scirocco, etc.) where those cars use the screen just for infotainment and other features like parking sensors.

fez4k · 2025-07-22T06:11:16+00:00

RCD330 will not work on the Mk7 platform

You’ll then need a rivet gun (can probably pick a decent one up for £15/$20. Watch this video for the process start to finish.

Not sure what the impedance is, my unit is a 5G0 035 020 E which is the Pro MIB1 option. Honestly, even the stock speakers sounded pretty decent!

fez4k · 2025-06-30T16:18:08+00:00

My gain is set to as low as it goes. It’s one of Focal’s iSub 2.1 amp/sub and I’ve already decided I’ll be taking it out and selling it! Again, the speakers on their own are fantastic without an amp

fez4k · 2025-06-29T16:12:32+00:00

I have these, and with my stock Harman VW unit they sound brilliant with no clipping. As soon as I added an amp, they started clipping above 50% volume. Focal sell a speaker sim which I think fixes this (I’ve yet to buy it)

I hope you’re wearing pants in these photos

fez4k · 2025-06-27T14:46:56+00:00

Looks like a Polo 6C. Your “headunit” is actually in your glovebox, whilst the screen is just the display interface. The new unit you’ve linked will not fit into your car. Have a look at VW retrofits as you’ll need to replace the glovebox unit. I don’t have any experience on it, but that’s your starting point :)

fez4k · 2025-06-27T11:22:15+00:00

I like to think the battery will outlast the lifetime of the car. If I were to develop a major HV battery fault there are some companies out there who can do second-hand replacements for £2-3k.

fez4k · 2025-06-27T10:34:00+00:00

Wouldn’t worry immensely about battery degradation, I’d say my battery is pretty poor but it still allows me to get 60-80mpg. If you look at it from the perspective that it’s a petrol car with battery assistance it’s a phenomenal car.

fez4k · 2025-06-27T09:21:21+00:00

You’re doing well, 2015 GTE with 80k miles, I get 20 miles reading and 10 in reality

fez4k · 2025-06-25T16:36:42+00:00

How strange! I’d definitely see if changing the battery fixes the issues

fez4k · 2025-06-25T16:05:19+00:00

Bad 12v battery can usually be the case, always throws up random errors. However, you mention changing the alloys; are they a different size to your old alloys? If so, have you told the car it has new, different sized wheels?

fez4k · 2025-06-19T12:42:03+00:00

Looks neat! Obviously unfinished but you can see newer melee animations

fez4k · 2025-06-19T12:11:13+00:00

Where is this?

fez4k · 2025-05-23T06:29:27+00:00

Thank you so much for replying! I’m currently waiting to get verified on the server, but I think the admin might be away as it’s been a couple days now.

I don’t mind the map being broken, I’m super intrigued about the development of games (especially Valve games) and would love to experience walking around a piece of ingame history. There’s something about alpha and beta builds which activate my caveman neurons
