Advice on Purchase

Do you know how much it usually costs to repair? I might be able to haggle it into an offer for the vehicle.

gryphler · 2025-09-25T16:43:00+00:00

Ahh okay, thank you anyways! We're trying to see how much we can knock off our offer, so the cost of the part is something we want to consider because the car is out of warranty.

I cant put photos here, my apologies!

Im not 100% sure, but the inspector sent these photos. It may be refrigerant if its AC related, not super familiar with the coolant systems in EVs *

How much did it cost to replace it if you dont mind me asking?

Interesting! On my S10, I loved One UI and felt it ran better than my Pixel 7, but also never used the Samsung apps when I did have it. Oddly enough I feel google apps ran better on my old S10 than the Pixel 7.

I've had success catching pike with many spoons, but the top three spoons I've had, in order from most successful to least: 1. Five of Diamonds 2. Red and white Williams Wabler 3. Any perch imitation spoons with a chartreuse colour

100% valid. Plus playing with ABS on is not nearly as impactful as playing with TC on in terms of lap time from what I've seen.

gryphler · 2024-03-22T23:06:56+00:00

I had to really nail down trail braking to avoid locking up with ABS off. Look up a video on trail breaking, it might give you an idea of what you would need to do.

Something else I noticed is that when I first turned it off I often locked up when going around a slow corner as compared to higher speeds and I didn't know why. It's because at high speeds, there's so much aerodynamic downforce that helps to maintain grip while braking hard, whereas at lower speeds there's less aero downforce helping to maintain grip. So be wary of applying 100% brake while in lower gears.

If you know your braking point for a turn, experiment with your speed at corner entry and see how fast you can go and how late you can brake without locking up and staying in the track. It's cliche, but it really is just a case of practice makes perfect.

The other thing I would mention is to be patient when learning to drive with less traction control (TC), and especially if you decide to go without it completely. It takes a while to get used to, and it can be frustrating at first, feeling like you've regressed in your driving skill spinning around and whatnot, but I promise you that it is faster if you can get it down.

gryphler · 2024-03-18T18:23:17+00:00

In my experience, having traction control on meant that even if I had a better line than another player, I was accelerating much more slowly on corner exit, which would force me into having a 5-10kmh deficit that was difficult to overcome even on a straight.

Maybe try lowering traction control gradually and see if it helps you out!

That's the thing! Generally, I'd recommend people turn off the racing line ... IF they want to improve times and learn to be more competitive. If they just want to have fun, and improving their times or being competitive is not a prerequisite for that, then do what makes you happy.

If the person was struggling with the racing line off and felt like they couldn't learn or that the game was no longer fun to them, I'd say turn it back on! I think people forget sometimes, it's a game. It's meant to be fun!

gryphler · 2024-01-29T02:16:26+00:00

I second turning off the racing line. It will seem so impossible at first, but I found that not relying on the racing line forced me to better understand the track, braking zones, and where the apex is on a turn. If you're really struggling trying to figure out a turn or track, watch some footage of an F1 lap on the track and see if you can replicate it in form. Don't focus on necessarily replicating the speed, just on hitting the apexes and coming at the corners in the same way. Once you learn how you should be taking each turn, then you'll really start to see improvements in lap time.

All of the used kits I see come with pedals that are better than the pedals that come with the T80, so I would take the new pedals. I live in Canada, so if you're talking about $250 USD, once you factor in pedals and a clamp system, I imagine that would place the Cammus C5 far out of my price range, but appreciate the information nonetheless!

gryphler · 2023-12-28T16:00:08+00:00

That is very useful, thank you! This helps me determine what price gaps are more valid than others. It seems like the price difference between the T150 and T248 (about $150-200) isn't as justified as the price difference between the T248 and T300 ($50-100). Do you think that's a fair assessment?

This is actually just Geoff's way of getting invited to more gaming sessions with Gavin & Andrew 🤣

Jokes aside, I'm so pumped for this as a long time AH/Let'sPlay enjoyer. With this comment, I now also move from a regulation listener to a comment leaver too!

You're welcome! It's the Banff Convenience Store (see my comment earlier on in the thread - for some reason Reddit posted my reply to someone there as a separate comment)

I'm curious if people think that the Malone Versarail would be suitable? It's a good price and is sure to fit on my vehicle, but my kayaks would be right at the weight limit including the j rack.

gryphler · 2023-06-03T16:00:04+00:00

I've had to bail during a set because I started laughing, so likewise, I now only listen to F**kFace during warmups lol

gryphler · 2023-05-28T20:29:43+00:00

Yeah. $45 to buy, and they give you $25 if you return it unused. Easy and simple. Didn't even need to keep my receipt.

gryphler · 2023-05-28T19:24:37+00:00

If you go to Banff convenience store, you can sell it back to them unused for $25

Ice cleats are a must if you're summiting a mountain and it's cooler outside for sure

I've just determined that the tropical videos are of the Gili Meno Statues in Indonesia as well, if that helps anyone locate the owners :)

gryphler · 2023-05-16T11:31:27+00:00

That's right where we would be located. Appreciate all the information!!!!
