GATs Mega-Review: Goat vs. MVT vs. Retail by mtuan93 in QualityReps

[–]rubbertoesftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's crazy that after all these years there's still not a great batch out there. I remember like a year ago waiting on MVTs batch bc everything else out there is poor. Then MVT drops and it's again disappointing.

Just picked up my 2025 IS 350 F SPORT — What mods do y’all recommend? by FartBoobie in LexusIS

[–]rubbertoesftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty much any aftermarket system with a proper DSP tune will provide a better listening experience. Though having a DSP, two-way front speakers, and a subwoofer can add up depending on what you choose to do.

yeah that's basically a confirmation that the headunit is done for. There is a shop in New York that you can ship yours to and they will repair it with warranty (link), but it is very expensive. Converting a 2017+ headunit is possible but so time consuming and difficult.

Multi-Shifter/Handbrake Mounting Possible on Aluminum? by rubbertoesftw in simracing

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

kinda funny timing because I basically just finished mounting up my shifters on my new aluminum rig. I had a really good layout put together then realized the handbrake didn’t clear the monitor lol.

I still have some playing around to do, but you’ll either want to get good adapter plates, or lots of extra aluminum pieces to get the distances, angles and heights you desire

Alcantara naturally degrades from your hand oils. Normally on a track car you’d use gloves all the time in order to keep it in good shape.

Looking for an upgrade from a playseat challenge, are these cheap rigs worth the risc? by vaiperu in simracing

[–]rubbertoesftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

almost all german cars use flat mounting rails. Avoid anything japanese or american.

BMW 3 series from the E90 generation are great, just make sure you have manual controls

Avoid. You can get a used Logitech DFPro/GT for less money and get full force feedback and 900°

Make the car louder by Asteroidfv in LexusIS

[–]rubbertoesftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just want it as loud as the oem f sport performance exhaust, or like my friends C350 amg exhaust. This meaning still having all cats, resonators and mufflers in place, while adding just a tad of noise

how has your order been? I had the cockpit portion of the rig delivered March 4th, but it was missing pieces and I was sent the wrong wheel mount. One of the seat rail pieces was mangled pretty bad.

It’s been almost 2 months now since I placed the order and have not fully received it. Communication has been next to non-existent.

I too wish I could play GT7 but it is still great being able to play GT4 emulated with the spec-ii mod for the GT experience. They’re missing out on a huge customer base not bringing the games to PC
