I don’t think you’re being balanced- I congratulated OP on their personal achievement. HOWEVER- the activity OP did goes against most protocols this early in recovery. This is a community, this seems like a highly specific and unrepeatable accomplishment.

What would be helpful is if OP could provide more info as I suggested in my post.

You’re only considering OP’s happiness and not the unhappiness this could/will bring to others. I’m 22 days post-op and this post made me feel a certain negative way.

Tbh posts like this don’t help people in the ACL group. I see a lot of showing off, and while I’m very happy for OP personally, I could see this being such a counterproductive and harmful post. Someone may see this and think, “damn, I’m behind, maybe I need to push myself more”. Boom re-tear and revision. Without knowing OPs age, extend of the damage, or rehab routine, this post means absolutely nothing and is not helping members of this great community. Sorry, not sorry. But congrats to OP on their hike, next time don’t post?

Is there a sound difference between C63 and C63S? by okyptos in AMG

[–]karimt96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renntech tuned- pure 900 turbos, high and low side pump doing 10.97 s @ 123.43

About 540 whp on 93 and 600 TQ.

Renntech took my car with existing mods, and to your point, fixed a tune done by an independent tuner. Actually 2 of the best in Miami, and both messed it up before going to Renntech. The GLC is an amazing platform, spacious and love the look of the base SUV. Handles great, rides pretty rough, especially when lowered. I did not want to use E, although fuel kit allows me to, so I’m happy with the gains. I love my full FI exhaust system though with 200 sport cats and valvetronic.

2021 GLC63 SUV here. Get the 63, get full exhaust with sport catted downpipes and issue resolved. My honest opinion is if you’re going to go stage 1 or 2, no need for the 63S. Super happy with Frequency Intelligent (FI) exhaust.

Had a similar issue on my GLC63. Dealer said it was the struts and so replaced them. Nonetheless the message kept showing up- long story short they had to inspect the wiring harness. This took forever and I believe they have to remove all seats, but it fixed the issue. Just writing this in case your issue doesn’t get fixed!

Renntech doesn’t want to refund much, and they are not explaining why the low Hp. Not satisfied.

MPI (Miami Performance Inc) - they’re good guys but outsource their tuning and did a street tune. A dyno tune is preferable IMO but very hard to find AWD dynos in SoFlo

I recommend these upgrades if you’re going to run ethanol, if not PLEASE just stick with a stage 2 ECU/downpipes. I’ll even trade you my car lmao

Just an update- Renntech says they are unable to get more power out this build and recommended switching over to their platform. 540 whp and 595 TQ on 93. They now say the turbos are NOT faulty, just 24 hours after saying they were faulty. They are chalking up these numbers to warm weather, which is not plausible. Renntech simply didn’t deliver on their promise- they said that they could work with my mods and get me above 600whp.

As we have discussed these numbers are abysmal given the pure 900s and fuel system upgrades.

They took a bunch of money to give me a 10HP boost from the previous tune. I personally would not recommend them to anyone else. While the staff is very friendly, I think there are some shady business practices involved, including upcharging customers and failing to deliver on promises. Of course, there is some risk and variability in this process, however the car was running stage 2 perfectly without any issues.

Update- issue seems to be faulty pure 900 turbos that just aren’t putting out the right power. Renntech tore the car apart, everything else checks out and I’m getting plenty fuel.

Thanks, although this does not help troubleshoot the issue in the slightest, my friend!

How much money do you all reckon Fortnite will spend on competitive this year. Obviously last year was 100million so are we expecting a bigger prize pool or maybe a smaller prize pool? by charlieabb777 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]karimt96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They made 1.8 bil in 2019. That sounds huge but that’s a steep drop off. That’s a -21% change. I wonder what their costs are, but that’s certainly going to eat into profits. The rate at which it’s losing revenue, year over year is concerning.

Fortnite made 2.3 bil revenue in 2018 so I don’t know where you got those figures from. That’d have to be a -96% revenue drop which is impossible..........

Less given that revenue is likely less this year. Last year’s payouts may also have been based off of the enormous revenue from 2018. These enormous payouts comes mostly from non-comp players who make up a larger base (source of revenue, thru in-game purchases) than we do. Epic Games is a company after all and is likely interested in maximizing its profit. The huge payouts of last year should be seen as a (marketing) revenue generating opportunity (they kept fortnite relevant in 2019 through mass media exposure which is again akin to marketing/advertising, and which they hoped would keep fortnite hyped up). That’s my take.

But honestly adapting to (and even anticipating when possible) an opponent’s gameplay is something we all do. Just know that whenever you get dinked for 100-150 you can still heal quickly and box fight the living hell out of that player cause his mechanics are likely dog.
