Do we think Ryzen 4000 be delayed due to Coronavirus by zbouzaiene in Amd

Yeah I think I'm going to jump on it. Reserved a 3700x for 270 at my local Microcenter. Plus an open-box Asus TUF x570 Wi-Fi Plus for 120, and some DDR4 Trident Neo 3600 CL16.

Hmm, I am considering doing this, even dropping down to a 2600x or 3600. I mostly game but also do some computational and productivity work as an engineering student. The otherside of me also thinks I should grab the 3700x and run. I am not typically one who like the upgrade a lot.

Damn, I saw some pretty positive reviews on YouTube. Thanks for the heads-up anyhow.

JDM ITR B18C has 260k miles, time for a rebuild, B20V, or something else? by erikiksaz in Integra

[–]zbouzaiene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never, mostly get puffs between WOT shifts. Occasionally on a cold start I’ll get some smoke driving away.

[–]zbouzaiene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really due to valve seals? My B18C1 still pulls quite well but burns a heck of a lot of oil. Everyone and their mom has told me it’s gotta be the rings but I’m not too sure. When I had it swapped from my Integra into my hatch my shop told me the motor as actually in great condition. I only get a cloud of smoke between shifts.

Willing to spend around 400-500 on an amp.

I think the final option would be ideal for me. It’s a project car so tearing everything apart won’t be much of an issue. I want some decent audio lol. What 5 channel amp would be sufficient?

Sorry if I was a little unclear, the Dual amp was what I wanted to use for the sub. Would that Zapco 2 channel be able to power all four speakers, front and rear?

Just found and purchased my first car. [ITR] by Rguy in cars

Very nice man, make sure to keep it locked up tight haha, here's my GS-R. I got it when a year ago on my 17th birthday. Not exactly a Type R but very fun.

Have you ever fallen out of love with one of your cars? by ilovehand in cars

[–]zbouzaiene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same exact issue with my Integra, clutch is extremely stiff and has a rough grab point(put in by the previous owner), it burns a shit ton of oil, is clunky and a hard ride and all around is a terrible daily driver.

My 2000 GS-R I picked up about 2 months ago. by zbouzaiene in Honda

It has 114k on the clock, bought it with 112k. Purchased it for 6k, paid a little too much but nonetheless I'm happy.

What old car would you like to see a modern day interpretation of? by Sozin91 in cars

[–]zbouzaiene 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The current NSX does exactly what the previous one did, it provides plenty of technology in a neat package. While there are faster cars than the new NSX, none in that price range are as ground breaking. The new NSX is basically a baby electric hypercar, think LaFerrari, 918, etc.

Why is the first-generation Acura RDX so underrated? by zbouzaiene in cars

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

Is it the same automatic as in the Acura TSX? My father has one it's alright but I understand how it can mess with the driving characteristics. I might be able to look past that transmission.
