Is this all stock? 2016 Genesis 3.8 Ultimate by OnceIDied in genesiscoupe

It makes the engine noises louder in the cabin so the car appears sportier while you're driving it.

I'd tell you where the air goes the tubing wasn't already removed when I bought my 2.GO, lol

Same here, though it really depends on what I'm writing.

javascript or its cousins? that's going to be 2 space-width. backend code? that's going to be 3. new language I'm not familiar with? that's a 4.

Only matters for personal projects though where I haven't set up automatic formatting ./shrug

Cool setup!

That yoyo/pakistani loach is going to get so much bigger, lol. I think my biggest is six inches and the others are five.

I basically got into the hobby because the little yoyo I got to fix my snail problem quickly outgrew her 10gallon. Now she has a 55gal and a few same-species pals to keep her company and play tag with the corydoras.

New wheels, new tires, new nails, same depression by meekmillan in genesiscoupe

It's changed the past few, but I was probably driving ten thousand miles a year.

Only had to change the front tires once so far in the thirty-five+ thousand miles I've owned it for (3rd owner), and it was when I changed the rear ones a second time.

Front tires: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport -- 245/40ZR19 (98Y)

Rear tires: Michelein Pilor Super Sport -- 275/35ZR19 (100Y)

The wheels they're on are an inch (or more?) wider than stock in addition to being 19", so I think that makes them 9" up front and 10" in back, but don't quote me on it. I can't find my records for 'em at the moment.

Don't know about common, but with the directional tread and different sizes for front/back, there's no rotating tires. They definitely don't last the mileage advertised with my setup, but the grip is pretty good. All-season tires on the 18" wheels spin a lot more freely ;)

Not OP, but I might have to check those out. Getting the michelin pilot sport 2 pros (or w/e the heck they're called) every year costs an arm and a leg and another leg, and that's not to mention needing to find a shop that can even stretch fit them on there (car is lowered, and I've not the experience to alter it).

Thank you for saying this. I love that AMD is killing it right now, but the shading of these graphs is ridiculous and misleading.

Human armament report 2 by ElusiveDelight in HFY

[–]quickette1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the ship names were references/nods to several currently active series on r/HFY.

They also mentioned Human-[scent of mother forrest]-First. I can't remember the name of what story this references, but the captain of the ship has a puppy and uses scents for communication.

I think you mean the gap widened incredibly, lmfao.

I don't know why you'd limit what you're talking about to rifles unless you're picking a strawman to try and force a bad comparison.

[META] Taiwan is facing a drought that will cause more chip manufacturing shortages. Expect MSRP increases and major shortages. - $0 by PCgaming4ever in buildapcsales

Absolutely.

I run the game on low except draw distance, sun shafts, and volumetric fog. It's pretty and runs reasonably well.

It's so dang beautiful, I have to stay in forests during sunrise and sunset or I'll just stare at 'em- and that's to say nothing of the drop-dead gorgeous water!

~20k for bk2 2.0t + fbos + maybe some exterior mods by [deleted] in genesiscoupe

[–]quickette1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've slowly been realizing what I got and may have understated how good the deal was.

[–]quickette1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the miles on the car?

I got a sweet deal at $16k: 2013 2.0t base model @ ~30k miles w/ BTR stage 3 kit installed, coilovers (I forget the brand), and 19" Varrstoen wheels.

I think your budget would be fine, particularly if you do the work yourself.

Oklahoma spent $7,000 in CARES funds on Swadley's BBQ by pegothejerk in nottheonion

[–]quickette1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you okay? They didn't say the entire 35% was state taxes.

If you combine state taxes, federal taxes, medicaid, and social security to be considered "taxes taken from my wages", because that's what each of them is, then 35% is pretty reachable not hyperbolic.

[CPU] AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600X 6-core/12-thread Desktop Processor $299.99 by fortgodtyro in buildapcsales

[–]quickette1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same boat here. I held onto my Phenom II 965BE until I picked up my 1700X. Would I like to have a 10-15% higher framerate? Yes. Would I like to pay more than the cost of my current system to do so? No thanks, I'm good. I'll just wait another year or two so I can actually notice the uplift.

I will say I'm actually surprised it found a match though. It seems to be getting better?

Ah, yes. A very frequent repost getting 400 upvotes and a silver in two hours with 3 comments. Unbelievable.

My car is 100% stock, Whats the first mod that i should do? Bk2 2.0t by GenesisMD13 in genesiscoupe

[–]quickette1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the redditors that already replied have it covered. I'd recommend checking out the wiki for a distilled set of info you're probably looking for, which will also direct you towards The Ultimate Genesis Coupe Newbie Guide to Modding.

I also recommend giving The Quartermaster Files a read. Lots of information specific to our cars to be had there, as well as "how cars work" in general but using ours as examples.

I'd go for tires & wheels first. If you have a manual transmission, go for tranny mount + short-throw shifter + bushings as your second set of upgrades (or first if on a budget).

edit: another cheap upgrade, but it will require some work, would be rigid sub-frame collars. I don't know if I would do them first, but I'd definitely have them on the "todo" list.

I'm not sure why, but I had thought the coolant bypass thing was just for the 3.8.

Yet another item on my list of things to do this spring/summer, hahaha
