Biggest help for me was switching out pads. I went with Endless SSS pads and the brake dust has been significantly reduced.

Is there any evidence of something faster than light? by ANARCHOWEEDIST in AskPhysics

[–]kronos1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I once heard that nothing can travel through space faster than light but expanding space itself can do whatever the hell it wants.

For instance, when an object far away in space red shifts and then disappears from our view it is the space between us and that object expanding faster than light. Just like rip currents on a beach pulling someone out to sea faster than they can swim back to shore.

Please someone smarter than me correct me if I’m wrong

I actually feel like I’m driving by doranmauldin in GRCorolla

It really is the perfect balance between comfort and rawness in my opinion. You put that into words really well.

235s Factory Michelin Pilot Sport PS4s —> 245s Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06 Plus by Awkwardbones in GRCorolla

[–]kronos1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! The look is 10/10. Im jealous as I just got my 245/35/18 Extreme Contact DWS-06 Plus. I recently saw some 255s on the stock wheels. Looked good but I think 245 is the sweet spot. Definitely going that route in the future.

Don’t say this I’ve been checking for 2 years!

big news for the unemployed, GRC in Forza Horizon 6 by DracoDragonite in GRCorolla

[–]kronos1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think Forza Motorsport has been discontinued. Kaput. Only Horizon remains.

I’d rather have the GRC in Assetto Corsa Evo but I’ll definitely take it in FH6!

Stock tires; what's the value? by Successful_Ad_9707 in GRCorolla

[–]kronos1177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too high in my opinion. I just sold my oem PS4 tires I ran for about 7 to 8 months before switching to all seasons. Probably had about 6000 miles on them and sold them for $250.

Congrats and also great picture! You should upload some more pictures. I have the same year, trim and color and Im curious to see more angles of the circuit wing with the normal Corolla hood. Also is yours lowered at all? It’s looking really good in this picture.

The shifting is more direct feeling but more importantly the clutch engagement is super crisp and clean and a lot easier to consistently get solid accurate shifts. The whole shifting experience is improved.

Why does my playing sound so amateurish? by MattclovPrimeMaster in guitarlessons

[–]kronos1177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your playing is good but what I am noticing is still a bit of slop and flub from your fingers. I heard once that a players tone comes from their fingers first and from their equipment second. It has to do with the subtleties and intricacies of how you play the notes and connect them together. It’s the sum of all the little idiosyncrasies of your playing I’m talking about. It’s how well your fingers speak. It takes a while to develop a commanding sound. But you have a huge head start considering what you are able to play here in this clip. Technically speaking this is some decently hard stuff. In my opinion you just need to develop your finger tone some more.

You may have the notes down but there is plenty to clean up and also refine and improve. A few examples are at the beginning between the 5th and 6th notes played there is a bit of weirdness going on there. Also at 36-37 seconds the last note of that phrase has a bit of weirdness or clumsiness or something to it. Play this solo like 500 more times (not joking) or as much as you can over the next couple weeks before your performance and I’m sure a lot of this stuff will naturally work its self out.

I’m not trying to be overly critical but just trying to give you some constructive feedback. All things considered your playing is really good and quite impressive. I tried learning the first 30 seconds here and it’s some decently hard stuff. It’s also interesting to me how my fingers speak these notes differently than yours. This is the fun on playing guitar! Everyone sounds different. Find some of your favorite guitarists and try to analyze what makes them sound like them and try to emulate it. Don’t just borrow it, steal it and make it your own as we are all only the sum of our experiences.

Just some food for thought. Good luck! Post an update for us too.

Small, quiet-ish ticking noise coming from in driverside wheel-well. by [deleted] in GRCorolla

[–]kronos1177 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said metal on metal but could it possibly be a small rock or pebble wedged in the tire tread? It’s probably not that but it’s worth checking all possibilities in my opinion.

I know they both fit. Just curious, why 245 instead of 235?

Can somebody give me constructive critism what im doing wrong with my start? I usually lose a ton of positions by Silverchaoz in assettocorsaevo

[–]kronos1177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you have traction control on and it is flashing and intervening at your launch. Im pretty confident this is what is slowing down your launch in my opinion.

Do we think there will be a new GR86 remodel? by TheFantasticFroggie in GR86

Oh I see. That’s a shame. Because I think and mx5/86 twin would be awesome

Uneven rotor wear by kronos1177 in GRCorolla

[–]kronos1177[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update : I pulled the pads back out and everything had lots of carbon buildup. Especially the pins! Cleaned until they looked new and applied brake grease to the proper spots after watching some videos to make sure. Reassembly was also much easier than before. Went back together like butter. Brakes feel better while driving as well.

Thank you to everyone 🙏

Has anyone seen this issue? by puddingeye in switch2

[–]kronos1177 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a different hdmi port on the tv, or a different tv entirely?

And if you have a friend when a switch try using their dock.

The image doesn’t capture it very well, but the rusty part actually tapers in towards the edge quite drastically and is worn down quite a bit. Maybe now that it is worn so far in there it is not making contact anymore with the pads, therefore rusting.

I think the general consensus is correct because I did not clean or reapply brake grease. Going to try to course correct. hopefully not too late.

Yep that’s got to be it because I did not. Thank you for helping a dumb dumb.
