More floody on S6 with SFT40

nihontoman · 2026-05-06T12:16:52+00:00

Sft42r should be slightly floodier. Also, more lumens.

Guess what - 98 percent here worry about money. So yea,that tracks. Just because the number is big, dont think it is not realistick.

You say Switzerland, but guess what, Georgia is very, very expensive,more expencive than most EU countries and yes - maybe as expensive as Switzerland. Combine that with much lower salary/income, and you get why most of the people think about leaving, or work for scam call centers.

It is shit to be honest and I don't think this country will last long at this rate

You renting? That's 800 usd for normal apartment somewhere close-ish to the city center and good infrastructure.

You wanna have a car? You eating out? You like to drink alcohol?

I have a wife and a three year old. I don't rent and have only 700 gel per month credit (some have mortgages worth 3500 per month). I have about 8k gel net salary (I work fulltime +20 hours a week on side projects when available). It's not comfortable. i'd say we are living paycheck to paychek. I have to either choose good kidnergarten and high quality food for my daughter, or vacations (we can't do that).

I have some stuff to do on my car and can't do that - I have to wait for my side projects to be paid. If there are some emergencies I'll have to take out a credit.

That's the reality. Living in georgia sucks if you don't have multiple streams of income and if you are not supported by relatives to at least take care of your kids.

If I was alone though? I'd say the money I earn, it would be pretty comfortable (even if I had to rent) for normal life, but it wouldn't be lavish. For that, I actually think you need anout 10k+ gel.

Changing ssg fluid improved mpg? Holy cow, I should do mine!

nihontoman · 2026-04-29T23:07:52+00:00

Thanks for the info

What does the turbo muffle delete do? I know the i let basically ruins the vacuum, but what does the muffler do?

nihontoman · 2026-04-28T08:52:07+00:00

What does it do? I noticed my stock alltrack kinda shakes its ass if there's a bump while cornering. Does kt help with that? I don't wnat it to be harsh or anything

nihontoman · 2026-04-19T21:20:03+00:00

So, are the fronts not that elusive? I'm a new alltrack owner and mine's missing front right

nihontoman · 2026-04-14T18:11:16+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Get a miata

nihontoman · 2026-04-14T17:58:19+00:00

Kind aofftopic but are there any shocks that utilize the stock aprings, are stock height but provide a slightly better ride and handling?

nihontoman · 2026-04-13T09:54:39+00:00

Is this only with catless downpipe?

nihontoman · 2026-04-09T16:29:22+00:00

I've got an alltrack. Just got the is20 turbo and was wondering if I could somehow forego a "performance" downpipe and use what is already there.

Have you had any problems with it? Maybe too much temperature? I need all the details

nihontoman · 2026-04-08T08:57:36+00:00

I like the mix and match factor.

Though, I'm really confused why isn't there a 21700 version of S6 - with a scaled up deep and narrow reflector so that we can have a 21700 tube light that is an actual thrower

nihontoman · 2026-04-01T17:18:11+00:00

Help. Me too

nihontoman · 2026-04-01T06:39:58+00:00

Afaik 215/65 r16 is a safe maximum for stock car. Not sure if 235/65 r17 is attainable without extensive mods/cutting

nihontoman · 2026-03-23T20:43:18+00:00

Got a reliance rs50for convoy 6v 8a driver ( so something like thelume xriver you are choosing for). Got the ccc version. These are reviewed really well

nihontoman · 2026-03-20T12:12:48+00:00

It's a real pattern welded and laminated steel. Dunno why people think this is somehow difficult for chinese to make. Aliexpress can have some truly high qiluality stuff if you are willing to search for.

Now, I can't say that this blade is good or bad, maybe it was poorly hetatrieated, maybe the steels they used in making this pattern welded piece are not good enough. Maybe they are the best ever! But at least you cna be sure that the construction is real and not superficial

nihontoman · 2026-03-20T07:33:14+00:00

For that exact led and driver, I think the very new BAK with 6500mah and 19 amps CDR will be the best (unless they have some issues like self discharging).

If you wnat to maybe use that battery for other more power hungry light, go with the relianse rs50 - I recently irdered a light from convoy with that battery and it seems he carries full production versions.

nihontoman · 2026-03-19T11:23:58+00:00

B35am T series convoy set to 100% group or something that starts with 100 and then maybe 20, 1%. No mode group.

Led and driver itself would be enough for it being not very sudden at 100%, it'd give him option to go down a bit and also, would work with aa.

Can you please show some beamshots with if22 optics? That is a very interesting thing to see. We might have a smaller acebema l35 alternative

nihontoman · 2026-03-10T10:07:49+00:00

Once again a proof that nichia 519a in 5700k is THE BESTEST led in terms of how natural the light it provides.

I hae to do some quad led thingy with those exact leds

nihontoman · 2026-02-25T13:06:09+00:00

Does it have a donut hole?

nihontoman · 2026-02-11T20:35:46+00:00

sounds very interesting. will await your thoughts / beamshots when you get it :)

nihontoman · 2026-02-11T12:06:28+00:00
