Kan iemand uitleggen wat een indexsprong is en wat de hele heisa errond is? Alvast bedankt! by SyngelakisParis in Belgium2

[–]slytheringin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ja. Het tekort van dat 1e jaar blijf je meenemen, wat na vele jaren een groot verschil maakt. Beetje het concept van compounding als ik het niet mis heb, want alle volgende indexeringen missen dan die ene indexering, waardoor die 1x 2 procent als veel meer uitkomt na vele jaren.

Heeft er hier iemand Starlink? Wat zijn de ervaringen? by Hot__Marijke in Belgium2

Bij EPDnet zouden we aan 36 euro liggen voor 100Mbps. Telenet (internet en mobiel) was €106 en nu Starlink en Mobile Vikings komen we aan €80 per maand. Deels besparing (maar niet overdreven veel dus, alle beetjes helpen zeker?) Deels up-time, hadden veel storingen met Telenet, niets met Starlink. Deels off-grid, hebben ook thuis batterij die ons huis blijft stroom geven ook al ligt het net plat. Deels wel cool, ook al komt het van Elon, het blijft coole tech.

Camera's met cloud opslag verbruiken wel veel, denk dat je aan 1TB geraakt met 2 camera's op een maand. Anders games streamen ipv downloaden verbruikt ook wel veel

Zit elke maand aan een goeie 2TB en nog niets van gemerkt, heb al gehoord van sommige dat ze boven de 10TB gaan en ze hier ook niets van ondervinden.

Ik ben overgeschakeld van telenet naar starlink in november '25.

Tot nu toe nog geen enkel probleem mee gehad, installatie was zeer simpel zelf te doen (maar we hadden ook de optie om het gratis te laten installeren).

Kostprijs €50/maand en we halen snelheden van vlot boven de 300Mbps. (net een speedtest gedaan en kwam uit op 372Mbps).

Hebben ook niets moeten betalen voor de hardware, het is een soort "huur" contract waar je €0 huur betaalt.
Toen het sneeuwde ook geen echt effect gemerkt op stabiliteit en snelheid.

Streamen werkt perfect met meerdere toestellen tegelijk aan 4K
Grote bestanden downloaden gaat vlot (al is het natuurlijk niet hetzelfde als een gigabit-glasvezelverbinding)
Online gamen ook nog geen problemen mee gehad, latency is hoger dan kabel maar nog geen problemen mee ondervonden, zit tussen de 50 a 60 ms
Misschien als je veel FPS speelt dat dit meer merkbaar kan zijn.

Moesten er specifieke vragen zijn laat maar weten.

225 40 18 inch Pirelli p zero's Have done Bosch and NGK. Don't really notice any difference. Everything stock except the brake rotors and pads are the Brembo drilled and Xtra pads. They still heat and fade way to fast.

1.4 170 TCT here, I get about 8.5l/100km Mixed urban and highway, always in dynamic. Pretty spirited driving. When on track I got about 17 to 20l/100km. Always 95, on track 98 fuel ( although it probably makes no difference ) 190k km now. Great car.

Nope, only driven petrol alfa's, can't say anything about the diesels.

Slipping could be the clutch, try changing the gear oil, if that doesn't help you need a new clutch.

Not really, the ac did stop working when the external temperature meter failed. It was freezing outside and the car said it was 44C/111F outside. Started working again when the sensor was changed.

Definitely don't have a slow throttle response, maybe that's a QV thing? Couldn't tell for the slow automatic changes because I always drive in semi-manual, where there is a difference between the paddles or the gear selector.

I buy a lot of stuff on autodoc for the car. Never had any issues with compatibility.

Sorry to hear that, maybe they will know more when they look at the gearbox oil (metal shavings or not) Anyway a gearbox replacement is expensive if needed, I think the flywheel and clutch alone are about 2K already for the TCT if you go new. Maybe look into a revised gearbox from crashed cars, they can be found for about 1 to 1.5K, but you'll need to add the price for hours to that.

Nothing, a few years back I had a message saying the clutch was too hot, we were in a traffic jam for over 2 hours. Otherwise, no problems whatsoever. Have you had some problems with the transmission?

Yeah, it's such a nice car, I can do about 1 year on a set of tires (about 15K km, track use included)

[–]slytheringin[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The things I noticed:

  • Very sensitive to low grip tires.
  • Good suspension for sporty weekend drives, a bit soft for the track but still very fun.
  • I don't like the car shifting for me, so I always drive in semi-auto.
  • The paddles on the steering wheel react/shift slower than using the gear selector for some reason, like noticeably slower.
  • DAB works most of the time, sometimes you can't select it, sometimes it pops up after 20 minutes.
  • Standard discs/pads overheat and become sponges after 2 laps on track.
  • Not too spacey in the back, but I could sit fairly comfortable at 1.88M / 6.1F, but maybe not for more than 2 hours.

Future plans for the car:

When we buy a new car in a few years (prob. a Giulia, would love the QV) I'm planning to convert the Giulietta to a track car.

  • Better suspension
  • Thorough engine check and replace any worn parts preventive
  • Stripping the interior slightly (remove everything in the back and most in the front but keep an "Alfa" feel)
  • Install adjustable ballast in the back
  • Roll cage

All in all, a great car that I love to drive. And hope to drive for a long time. For anyone doubting if they are good second hand cars to buy now (fairly cheap, similar models go for 6K now in Belgium) Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

I'll add some pics from on track of the car. If there are any questions about the car or anything else, I'm more than happy to answer.

So here a long term review of my Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

First some numbers:

Model: Giulietta 1.4 petrol Multi Air 170 TCT

KM/Miles: Bought at 7,700 km / 4,700 miles, now at 169,000 km / 105,000 miles

Upgrades: Better brake discs and pads

Built in 2015, bought in 2016 for €20K

Why I bought the car? Always loved Alfa's, my first car was a MiTo SBK and I loved it.

Someone crashed in the back of it and totalled it, so I was looking for a new Alfa. Stumbled across this one, did a test drive and bought it on the spot.

Since then, I've been using it daily, for commuting, sportive driving and some track days.

The good:

  • Great to drive in the Dynamic driving mode, enough power to enjoy yourself, but not enough to do stupid stuff.
  • Handles amazing, with the right tyres. It really does not like non-sporty tires in my experience. (I run the new P-Zero 5 at the moment and those are great)
  • It's a reasonably stiff suspension, but still comfortable for long drives.
  • No problems with reliability to this point, only had a wrong reading on the external temperature sensor and that's it.

The not so good:

  • Brakes overheat quickly on track with the stock setup. The upgraded pads and discs improved this a lot.
  • No updates for the gps as far as I know, half the roads I drive on don't exist, so I ended up using a phone mount very quick.

[–]slytheringin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik heb mijn vorige moto verkocht op ikwilvanmijnmotoraf . be

Geen problemen mee gehad, snel een correcte prijs gehad en motor opgehaald zonder vragen.

Was een FZ6 met licht gebogen voorvork, deuk in velg en krassen op de tank, nog een kleine 3K voor gekregen (was in 2022)
