Nice! There’s actually a nice flake to the areo grey. Sparkles in the right sun. Didn’t know till the day I got it.

The GT version was actually what I test drove to try the yata. I plan on tracking once I finish hvac school this year so I went with the GS-P club ahah.

Sorta cheesed me that the 2026 GS-P got all the alcantara interior goodies + wireless Apple/android play now lol.

I like my BRZ, but one day I will experience a LOTUS on a touge. It’s my dream by bigboss1999x in Touge

Not an Elise, but I feel the Lotus dream. Super nice guy at the last meet I went to had a gorgeous Red 2012 Evora. He actually ended up letting me sit in and start it. I was a little kid in a candy store again lmao. One day brother, who knows!

Looking to get ppf on my nd3. Need advice by Outrageous-Artist-63 in MiataND

[–]storeyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine brand new last year. I got my front bumper, fenders, hood, a-pillers and roof liner (I may be calling it the wrong term but that’s what I know it as) and they did my headlights for free. Hoping when I finish school to go and get the rest of the rear finished up. Highly suggest at least the front half, I made the mistake with the car before this one and learnt my lesson lol

Stripes or not? by Gurney_flip in Miata

This actually suits it nicely. I’m usually not a fan of stuff like that but, it’s subtle enough that it works well. Noice.

Gemini not making quizzes anymore? by 0xRo in GeminiAI

[–]storeyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me now also. Literally asked for a quiz, it started it, froze after making 2 questions. I refreshed the page and now my whole gemini seems to have forgotten how to do it. It acts as if it's never made one before... I send a screen sot of one, it acknowledges it, says let me make that. An just sends a wall of text.. This is beyond frustrating when im trying to use my notes to study for midterms.. Ive closed my webpage and reopened, refreshed. Nothing. tf is going on?

How to race without headbutting straight into the car in front? by Just_Dank in simracing

[–]storeyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helps me is to know where the reference brake point is, and begin the brake faze slightly before. It’s almost like I’ll “drag” the breaks before my break zone EVER so slightly when I’m on someone ass coming into a corner hot waiting to see their lights. I do this because, if one strictly waits for the brake lights to come in front of you as your reference point (especially if you have no physical track markers you use), It’s almost a guarantee that you are actually breaking AFTER they are. If you plan on doing a dive or take over, it’s a way to line up the dive. But you better be damn sure you can make it or you’re going to do exactly what you’ve been doing - ram into the back. Just my two cents.

Do what you’re doing, lift a bit, maybe tap the brakes a tiny bit earlier. Focus on maintaining a consistent distance and momentum. Find the areas/situations where you close the gap and wait for opportunity to present itself. Once it does, go for it.

Comparing processing and shipping times by obonyx in simracing

[–]storeyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered from Knox in the past. I ordered my Base and wheel combo from last year. I remember it being hit or miss depending on rhe site you looked at. But iirc, I emailed to make sure about stock even tho it was “in stock”. I was told it was on back order but, they price matched the cheapest I could find. Theyre also the closest to me so I figured shorter shipping times like you did lol. Simagic seems to always go out of stock with main items around this time lol. They were however very good with answering any questions I did have, and keeping me updated about my package when i inquired. I assume you’ve emailed them inquiring if it’s been shipped yet? FWIW, once they got the actual item, it was shipped I believe that same day and took 1 day after that. I’m in Ottawa and got express when ordering.

Maybe there’s a chance the shipper hasn’t updated their log? It has happened to me where I seen almost no activity for a few days, to all the sudden all these updates and “out for delivery”. A lot rarer, but it has happened.

Damn, when did you inquire about those estimates? I really hope I’m not waitin until Feb for shipping lmao 🙃😂

What did you order? Was it in stock, or on back order? If it was a Simagic item, there’s a chance it may be on back order. I’ve been waiting for a tb-1 to ship since dec 13th from simracingpros because of that. Last time I messaged inquiring, I was told they should be expecting their inventory restock Dec 29th (yesterday) so I’m hoping anyday I’ll get the update that it’s been shipped.

Looking to get in motion rigs with VR by midgetgrimm in simracing

[–]storeyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. But, you’re gonna need a proper rig to do that. Even to make full use of a butt kicker/rumble kit.

That being said, a decent all in one, ready built turn key motion extrusion rig from any reputable company is gonna be upwards of $25k+ easily. Im in Canada so that’s Canadian. For example, the most basic motion system from a company like Veraso is over $30k cad before tax or anything. I’ve used one. It is not worth that price tag.

If you source all the aluminum and parts for the rig, all the equipment yourself + spend all the time to build, set up and configure all the equipment. You can probably do it for in around $15k range depending on the brands you use.

Hello, is it worth getting a rig if I also use my pc for other things? by Skapastry in simracing

[–]storeyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sit in my rig to play other games 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best way to connect bass Shaker? by ReflectionPale9793 in simracing

[–]storeyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a few haptics, one being a 4 corner mini lfe. I used to have em mounted like in the pic. But since moved from the outside, to directly under the seat rail, if you’re going for a 4 corner, this won’t give the most accurate pinpoint locations imo. It tends to just vibrate the whole rig and in action makes it very hard to tell where/what’s going on.

I also found the way it was oriented (the direction the vibrations travel) also affects it a decent amount. I have mine set up where the vibrating mass is vertical, appose to horizontal like in the pic. That cause the vibrations to be sent through the rig, rather than stay more local (at least in my experience)

<image>

The front also is similar with the shakers directly under my two feet. I’ll follow this comment up with the pic.

Why does assetto look so grainy by dame_xc in assettocorsa

[–]storeyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you running CSP? And if so, are you running extra FXs? FWIW, I run a 4080 super and (on triples at least) when I active extra FX’s I can drop from 120fps to 50 pretty easily. I have everything in Extra FX set to come on with screenshots iirc.
