wtf

#

onmly 2$ more?

dense shard
#

My insurance is 570 dollars for 6 months.

indigo coral
#

it was pretty significantly more on my rx, hence why we didn't hbother

civic girder
#

What I need to do is remove my dad from the Prius and drop my rates on that car sub $100 (per month)

dense shard
#

In Japan I'd pay about 50 dollars a month for my car.

#

I miss those rates.

civic girder
#

The RX-7 costs $32 a month

indigo coral
#

wtf

civic girder
#

Comprehensive, $500 deductible

indigo coral
#

yikers wish mine was that cheap

#

its not like my car is even a deathtrap

dense shard
#

When I renew my deductible will go down to 400 dollars.

indigo coral
#

6 air bags etc

civic girder
#

Yea, RX-7 is cheap cause it's an old ass car

fathom socket
#

Damn, wish my truck had 6 airbags

indigo coral
#

2 in each front seat + the steering wheel and dashboard

civic girder
#

I wish the 7 had a single airbag

fathom socket
#

Yeah

dense shard
#

I think I have many airbags.

fathom socket
#

My third gen Camaro has no airbags

civic girder
#

What year?

dense shard
#

7 I think?

fathom socket
#

Mine?

civic girder
#

Ye

fathom socket
#

Ah

indigo coral
#

our explorer has airbag seatbelts πŸ‘€

fathom socket
#

A 1983 I think

civic girder
#

Nice

#

Same year as my 7

dense shard
#

oh I have 8 airbags

fathom socket
#

Might be an 84'

civic girder
#

Oof. I'm not a fan of the 84 FBs. The interior has a really weird design

fathom socket
#

Mine ain't a Foxbody

civic girder
#

Well, it's a Camaro, so I'd kinda hope not

fathom socket
#

What do you mean by FB?

indigo coral
#

fb rx7

#

i assume

civic girder
#

Yes

fathom socket
#

Mine has no interior

civic girder
#

When I start throwing out random letters, just assume it's something related to Mazda

fathom socket
#

Ah

indigo coral
#

mine has a mediocre interior but it was good for '99\

civic girder
#

I think the Prius has a better interior than the 3rd gen

fathom socket
#

Mine is a drag car

#

So it needs no interior

indigo coral
#

mines a drag car too

#

dragging its ass when you tell it to move

civic girder
#

the 2nd gen Interior is waay nicer without the whack center console

fathom socket
#

A car that creates drag? πŸ˜›

indigo coral
#

or that

dense shard
#

I just want android auto. orz

fathom socket
#

Actually my third gen has an iron block LS

#

Making a little over 700 whp

civic girder
fathom socket
#

The block shouldn't be able to hold 25+ psi of boost

#

But it does

civic girder
fathom socket
#

I don't know how long the engine is gonna last

civic girder
#

ah, playing the same game I am

fathom socket
#

I'll probably get a 427

civic girder
#

except I'm playing two hands now

fathom socket
#

427 cubic inches

civic girder
#

that would be sick

fathom socket
#

It's a 323

#

I was running a 364

civic girder
#

I don;t know shit about V8s beyond the 1UZ, so idk what that really means

fathom socket
#

But the 364 couldn't hold the boost

indigo coral
#

1uz = LS 400 engine isnt it? @civic girder

civic girder
#

I think so, yea

#

it was in a lot of shit

indigo coral
#

ye

#

was a DAMN good engine

civic girder
#

imo, best V8

fathom socket
#

Nah

#

You haven't been around the LS V8

civic girder
#

I think they sound better than any LS

dense shard
#

1UZ... the engine designed with one goal in mind.

#

Destroy the German competition.

indigo coral
#

not hard

dense shard
#

It did.

indigo coral
#

german cars are mediocre at best

fathom socket
#

@civic girder I'll film a sound clip of my third gen

indigo coral
#

except the E60 M5

#

that one is forking amazing

civic girder
#

Most Toyotas can beat a German car

dense shard
#

M cars were sports cars.

indigo coral
#

e60 m5 best bmw sedan

civic girder
#

especially the Prius, cause there's like 3 cars in that segment from Germany, lmao

indigo coral
#

lmao

#

a3 etron, what else?

civic girder
#

@fathom socket ok, we shall see tho....

dense shard
#

The Opel Ampere?

fathom socket
#

I doubt it sounds better

dense shard
#

Sounds is subjective as hell.

indigo coral
#

that's just a Bolt @dense shard

civic girder
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

indigo coral
#

nah the LFA is the best sounding car ever

civic girder
#

personal taste

indigo coral
#

irrefutable

dense shard
#

What was Volt rebadge?

#

okay LFA was sublime.

civic girder
#

LFA sounds alright

indigo coral
#

the Volt is the Ampera, the Bolt is the Ampera-E i think

fathom socket
#

I'm doing exhaust work on my van, I'll take a sound clip of the 6.0l running open headers

dense shard
#

Yamaha's engines are incredible.

civic girder
#

but 12A gonna steal my heart everytime

indigo coral
#

the V10 in the LFA is s e x y

dense shard
#

Best engine sound ever is the EJ25 out of the STi, change my mind. :p

fathom socket
#

I'll do just that :D

civic girder
#

1NZ, as slow and pathetic as it is, I think it sounds alright. Definitely 150% better sounding engines out there, but its got charm

fathom socket
#

When my van runs open headers, it shoots 2 foot flames

civic girder
dense shard
#

Unequal length headers is the calling card of the STi.

indigo coral
#

The F355 sounds (and looks) amazing too

fathom socket
#

That Astro doesn't sound healthy

dense shard
#

joking aside

civic girder
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

restart the car and it sounds normal

dense shard
#

I'm quite partial to the 90s Ford Contours.

civic girder
#

it just does that sometimes

dense shard
#

The V6 was a fun sound.

indigo coral
#

The 1MZ-FE sounds like shit

#

in my car

#

xD

dense shard
#

Duratec 25 was lit

civic girder
#

he got the car for $300, and besides gas, the only money he's spent on it was two additional seats and a new alternator

fathom socket
#

Ah shit, dead battery on the third gen

civic girder
#

oof

fathom socket
#

I will finally have to throw a new one in

dense shard
#

Otherwise. The Corolla is a nice whir. Nothing exceptional. Perfect for daily driving.

indigo coral
#

I was worried my car battery was crapping out but it seems to be fine

#

just cranked slow the otehr day, i guess.

fathom socket
#

Walmart car batteries are actually really good

indigo coral
#

Again, I maintain it is possessed.

fathom socket
#

Cheap and better than the auto parts store brands

indigo coral
#

we get ours at costco πŸ‘€

fathom socket
#

Costco sells Interstate batteries

#

Never found Interstate batteries to be worth the money

indigo coral
#

got my moms new tires at costco too

#

as well as loads and loads of gas xD

fathom socket
#

Costco is a great place for tires

#

Sorry, I meant tyres

indigo coral
#

especially when they offer a 200 dollar visa gc when you get them :p

fathom socket
#

Damn son

indigo coral
#

helped offset the (very high) cost of tires for that car

fathom socket
#

I wanna get one

indigo coral
#

how much do your tires typically go for?

fathom socket
#

Over $1000

civic girder
#

Costco is god tier for tires and gas

indigo coral
#

yeah the ones we got were 1059$ before the card

#

which is big yikes

civic girder
#

too bad they don't have 13" for the RX-7, lmao

indigo coral
#

but meh

#

...

#

13...inch

#

seriously?

#

that's teeny lol

civic girder
#

#stock-rims

indigo coral
#

get 22s πŸ˜‚

civic girder
#

fuck no

indigo coral
#

donk

#

lol

dense shard
#

donk... more like dank

civic girder
#

the largest I'd ever consider would be 16"

indigo coral
#

I'm looking at 18s

#

make my car look bout a decade more modern

civic girder
#

much more than that and it would look really fuckin weird

indigo coral
#

my moms car is 255/50r20 so theyre quite pricey

civic girder
#

and putting modern rims on the RX-7 would be big brain

indigo coral
#

currently mine are 235/75r16

#

lol

civic girder
#

I'd be getting era appropriate wheels

indigo coral
#

teensy wheels, thicc tires

civic girder
#

damn

indigo coral
#

i ought to check how old mine are...

civic girder
#

I think the tire spec for the RX-7 is like 185/70R13, something like that

indigo coral
#

i know the back ones are very f*cked up

#

but shrug

#

i keep an eye on them to make sure there's no bubbles/cords showing/etc

civic girder
#

RX-7's tires are brand new, got them back in September. Prius tires are probably 2 or 3 years old by now

indigo coral
#

I'd get new ones but on my car you have to get all 4 at once

#

and that'd be a fat waste

#

the front ones are great

civic girder
#

how are the rear two fucked and the front ones good then

#

sounds like they were mixed

indigo coral
#

when I got the car the front was very out of alignment

#

so the insides are worn down

#

i swapped those to the back

civic girder
#

oh

#

i c

indigo coral
#

and put the good ones in the front

#

the inside is like.. quite smooth lol, but I do watch them

civic girder
#

F

indigo coral
#

if they look actually dangerous I'll suck it up and get new ones

civic girder
#

I think both my cars are due for tire rotation. I'm very bad about getting those done

indigo coral
#

but the badly worn part isn't really on the ground anymore

#

cant you just diy it

civic girder
#

I probably could

#

but then remember that my only jack are the flat tire jacks that come with the car

indigo coral
#

when I got the car it shook like a son of a bitch at 65+ and the front was uber out of alignment

#

got it balanced, then aligned, rotated it myself, then got it balanced again

#

over the course of a couple months

#

they only charged me for part cause they werent able to align the rear end, but thats fine cause it wasn't out of spec anyways

#

just the fronts

civic girder
#

the RX-7 got a fresh alignment when I got new outer tie rods

#

which was also after the new tires were put on

indigo coral
#

when I get new tires (and maybe wheels), I'll get it aligned again and balanced all in one go

civic girder
#

That's usually a good idea

#

yea, my homebrew tire rotation would be jank as fuck

dense shard
#

Always balance with new tires.

indigo coral
#

we've got an air system and jacks and stuff, so I guess its easy for us xD

civic girder
#

I'd have two of those regular ass flat tire jacks to lift one side of the car while I take wheels off

indigo coral
#

its probably not that expensive to have it done somewhere then, is it?

civic girder
#

I don't have stands, ramps, a real jack, any of that stuff

#

Yea, wouldn't be very expensive

indigo coral
#

some places will do it for free

civic girder
#

it's just like, takes effort

indigo coral
#

les schwab did my balance for free when I went the first time

#

which is nice of them

#

that particular facility has really great people/management

#

i was leaving for a trip and got it balanced at a different one and they were assholes

#

so... never going back there

#

ill stick to the good one

civic girder
#

I'll probably take the RX-7 to Firestone to get the A/C recharged, may see how much it would cost for tire rotation.

indigo coral
#

I was pretty fucking pissed at the one in the next city over actually

civic girder
#

well, its quarter after midnight, I prolly better go eat dinner and then go to bed

indigo coral
#

gn

civic girder
#

ye, gn

indigo coral
#

(i eventually got there)

#

lol

civic girder
#

lol

tight cypress
#

hmm

flint sable
#

would love to see these on a road course

indigo coral
#

do they have their boating license6? πŸ€”

dense shard
#

Guess the youtuber. "Here's why the Toyota Supra is a disgrace"

indigo coral
#

Doug demuro

dense shard
#

try again

#

That would be a good quiz show. Doug or Scotty.

indigo coral
#

Ah.

#

Scotty f*cking kilmer

#

He's just a dated old crackpot fool

dense shard
#

Not mincing words today I see.

#

Well at least his one piece of buy advice is sound... if you don't mind an early 90s Toyota Celica.

civic spoke
#

The 5th Gen Supra honestly isn't bad.

#

It's just kind of 'meh' that it's more of a BMW, than it is a Toyota.

dense shard
#

I get why Toyota did it, but I still think they could have developed their own engine easily enough.

#

Or used a TT V6.

civic spoke
#

The issue is that they really wanted the straight six.

dense shard
#

oh I know.

civic spoke
#

And the inline six doesn't suit any other of the cars in Toyota's lineup.

dense shard
#

Rumors are next gen Crown will be I6.

civic spoke
#

The i6 makes more sense to use in cars, if you can make it fit.

#

BMW's engines are pretty solid for that. Since they are modular.

dense shard
#

It doesn't make sense if you don't have one developed.

civic spoke
#

Yea

dense shard
#

And I firmly believe modularity between cylinder counts is at best a cost cutting measure.

#

Toyota has been keen to develop engines specifically for each application.

civic spoke
#

It is. But it's the best way to do it if you want an i6 engine in the lineup.

dense shard
#

Allows them to design an engine for peak efficiency.

#

Problem is the smaller BMW engines aren't benchmarks in any metric.

#

JLR's engines are even worse despite being modular.

civic spoke
#

The i3, i4, and i6 engines that BMW have are pretty similar.

fathom socket
#

It has 755 HP

dense shard
#

And overheating issues.

fathom socket
#

Not this one

civic spoke
#

And issues with putting down power.

fathom socket
#

That is correct

#

It spins the tires in 4th gear

civic spoke
#

My car can spin one of its tires while in the air.

fathom socket
#

Only the 2014's and early 2015's have overheating issues

civic spoke
#

It's THAT powerful.

fathom socket
#

There's a reason why the grill is so damn huge

#

It has 13 radiators and intercoolers

civic spoke
#

Heh. That reminds me of that one car. Devil 16? Or maybe it was something else.

fathom socket
#

Yeah

#

I've heard of it

civic spoke
#

Devel Sixteen*

fathom socket
#

Its based off of two LS V8 welded together

civic spoke
#

"5,000 hp" Yeah, right.

#

Imagine the heat being made by that engine.

fathom socket
#

5,000 HP is too damn much

dense shard
#

I've heard GM saying the newer Z06's are supposed to be fixed.

fathom socket
#

Yeah

dense shard
#

A new lawsuit begs to differ.

fathom socket
#

The newer C7 Corvettes are fixed.

indigo coral
#

That's a zr1

fathom socket
#

Yeah

indigo coral
#

reworked airflow

dense shard
#

they all look the same to me.

indigo coral
#

zr1 doesn't overheat like the older c7s

#

enjoy your v4 mode tho

fathom socket
#

I had a 2014 Z06 come into the shop a couple of weeks ago with overheating issues

civic spoke
#

I am kind of stupid, and would actually want a 218i that has been tuned.

#

Would also put an exhaust on it.

indigo coral
#

Lol

#

218i is a thing?

civic spoke
#

Yeah.

fathom socket
#

They slammed the car on the ground and broke the radiator when driving into the garage πŸ˜‚

civic spoke
#

135 hp stock. Can be tuned up to 200.

#

Uses an inline 3 cylinder.

indigo coral
#

wow

fathom socket
#

It was like a Corvette ricer

dense shard
#

Sounds about right.

#

The new Fiesta ST does about the same with a 3 popper.

indigo coral
#

I want a Focus RS but they don't make it in automatic

dense shard
#

Not sure I trust those engines long term.

fathom socket
#

It was so damn funny when I told the guy that his car was too low πŸ˜‚

#

I had to crank up the coilovers a bit

civic spoke
stoic ledge
#

I was expecting a 218i Active Tourer... Disappointed

civic spoke
#

The Active Tourer is probably going to be a pretty good buy in a few years. No lie.

#

As stupid as it looks.

#

Mainly because its value will have gone down to nothing.

indigo coral
#

Wtf is that thing

civic spoke
#

Active Tourer?

#

BMW's MPV. More or less.

stoic ledge
#

I don't dislike the looks tbh

#

It's actually quite a decent car

civic spoke
#

Who could ever like its looks?

stoic ledge
#

I meant dislike* But it's not horrible, offensing or anything like that

#

Tbh it's nicer than stuff like a VW Touran

#

There's also the Gran Tourer, the same car but larger Pogey (it has a 3rd row)

civic spoke
#

Yupp xD

#

It's a BMW for family use.

stoic ledge
#

Prices of a 2 AT is actually quite reasonable used πŸ‘€

#

Not that different of a Golf Sportsvan, Renault Scenic etc

civic spoke
#

I only really have one thing to do for work tomorrow. starP

#

And that is to drive a full load of 0-8 'StenmjΓΆl'.

crimson wraith
#

I have a huge Crush lately on the new Opel/Vauxhall Astra. dont know why tho.

stoic ledge
#

It's quite nice Pogey

#

Insignia B is GWcmeisterPeepoLove tho

indigo coral
#

Genesis G70 πŸ₯°

stoic ledge
#

Can't get it here Pogey

tight cypress
#

astra 2020 doesnt look bad

#

but i like the corsa more

stoic ledge
#

Yeah Corsa has the newer design Pogey

eager kite
dense shard
#

sure, it's a pretty compelling package all things considered.

#

"That’s where the Genesis G70 steps in. With German dynamics, Japanese quality and a Korean value equation, consider it the compromise-free, perfected version of the internal-combustion sports sedan."

#

BMW has been the benchmark for the last 30 years. Doesn't hurt the G70 still offers a manual transmission. Something the G80 series BMWs no longer do.

civic girder
#

The one true sports sedan is the RX-4, change my mind

dense shard
#

Yeah real cars have pistons. :p

#

Also real talk. The RX-4 might be among the most compelling of 70s cars one can own.

civic girder
#

Yes

#

besides the REPU ofc

dense shard
#

You could get a Celica or Prelude, but there it is. A Mazda with a Rotary that isn't an RX-7.

civic girder
#

yea, most people don't realize that there were 6 rotary models before the RX-7 actually was a thing

dense shard
#

Within that category...

#

Maybe the BMW 2002 would be a decent alternative?

civic girder
#

I didn't know there was a 4 door 2002?

dense shard
#

I wasn't aware the RX-4 came in 4 doors.

civic girder
#

There was an RX with 4 doors, I know that 100%

#

there was also a 5 door wagon RX

dense shard
#

looking at the pictures

#

I'm not feeling it.

#

Coupe or nothing.

civic girder
dense shard
#

Honestly... if I could get my hands on one.

#

I'd love a 280Z.

civic girder
#

oh my god, I can't find a picture of the RX-5 wagon that is decent. Searching google images for Mazda anything just brings up fucking Miatas

#

One of the bois in the first gen RX-7 discord has a 280z as his winter project, since his aftermarket carb on his SA makes it virtually impossible to start in the winter

dense shard
#

It would be a good project car.

#

Granted they're going up in value quite sharply these days.

#

I'd probably be better off with a 350z.

civic girder
#

In financial terms, 350z is going to be the better choice

dense shard
#

Not gonna touch a 300zx. Those were a bit too exotic.

civic girder
#

but the 350z is a trumpet, and the trumpet is bad

dense shard
#

It's pre-lazy Nissan.

#

Right before they went to cost cutting.

civic girder
#

the early 350z, maybe

#

still gonna be lower quality than something from the 90s

dense shard
#

Not like they changed much in it over the years.

#

The 90s were a bit too tech heavy.

civic girder
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

dense shard
#

The Z32 300ZX is a flagship. Unfortunately it comes with all those issues from what I've heard.

#

I want to have fun, not curse.

#

Reality is I'll probably end up in a Miata.

civic girder
#

I think I may have been wrong, RX-5 never had a wagon

dense shard
#

NB/NC era is bottoming out.

civic girder
#

but the RX-4 did have a wagon varient

#

NB Miatas are pretty cool

dense shard
#

I just want a 6 speed.

civic girder
#

I've driven my buddy from work's NB

dense shard
#

Maybe turn it into a track car.

civic girder
#

the NC trans is supposedly god tier, though I haven't driven an NC more than down the street at less than 15mph

dense shard
#

I imagine they're all just fine transmission wise.

#

The NA I drove was perfectly fine.

#

It's a near direct connection to the transmission. I doubt any of the generations actually feel bad.

civic girder
#

I've heard the 5 speed NA trans will explode if you give them much more than 200hp

dense shard
#

I just need 150.

civic girder
#

it might be 150, I don't really remember

dense shard
#

Slow car fast is more fun.

civic girder
#

this is true

#

That's why I love my FB so much

dense shard
#

And considering I drive on the street 90% of the time...

#

Honestly the Corolla is more than enough power to get into trouble.

civic girder
#

how much hp?

dense shard
#

168-ish.

#

I don't know why Toyota didn't tune for 2 more horses tbh.

civic girder
#

150 in a Miata is gonna be like 220 in the Corolla

dense shard
#

I can imagine.

#

I know the NB had a MazdaSpeed version.

#

But I'm not too invested in getting that. I'd rather have a boomer weekend machine than someone who actually cared about speed.

civic girder
#

A man of culture

#

My FB has made a boomer out of me

dense shard
#

I just trust the older people to have taken care of their cars.

civic girder
#

all I want to do is restore it and do slight mods. Just slow af street driving, while still having fun and driving the car they way its supposed to be driven (redline intensifies)

dense shard
#

I kind of want to do work on my 'rolla.

#

But warranty. Pogey

civic girder
#

Personally, I would leave the Corolla alone

#

get a cheap car to dick around with instead

dense shard
#

I'll see what TRD parts are released over the next few years.

civic girder
#

Cause if you broke the Corolla, or you couldn't finish whatever mod/upgrade in a day or weekend, then how are you going to get to work?

dense shard
#

Work from home.

civic girder
#

lucky bastard

dense shard
#

no clue

#

I don't have a job yet.

civic girder
#

oh

dense shard
#

soonℒ️

civic girder
#

then how tf can you afford a brand new car

dense shard
#

I had previous jobs, and saved up a few grand.

#

Or so.

civic girder
#

aren't your payments a few hundred a month?

dense shard
#

I paid cash.

#

up front.

civic girder
#

oh, i c

dense shard
#

It's my car, and if need be I'll live out of it.

civic girder
#

so you leased your car then?

#

idk really how buying new cars works

#

ok, I think I understand now

#

you must have saved up a lot, assuming you paid the whole cost up front

dense shard
#

Basically I skipped financing and leasing.

#

I just straight up bought a car.

civic girder
#

god damn

#

you saved up a lot then

dense shard
#

Yes.

civic girder
#

ngl, its the kind of thing I would do too

dense shard
#

(I've been blessed with good finances)

#

A couple of good jobs, living with parents, and being careful has really left me with good cash.

civic girder
#

I'm mostly in the same boat

#

though I haven't really had a real job, real as in working even part-time hours for more than a summer

dense shard
#

That counts.

#

You gotta start somewhere.

civic girder
#

Yea. I'm trying to get a job this semester

#

Want to start saving up so I can move out and get a house

dense shard
#

Any goal works.

civic girder
#

I'd get an apartment, but they are expensive over time, and don't often have garage space

dense shard
#

I would dispense unwanted financial advice, but I'll be honest.

#

I'm not a paragon of sane and safe purchasing decisions.

#

I have anime figures.

civic girder
#

I want to collect like that, but I'm afraid of what I would become

#

I have too many computers and Legos as it is

Yea, I need a house. I want my rotary baby to have garage space

and space for tools and shit to fix shit myself

dense shard

life goals right there.

#

A garage.

civic girder

and more space for dumb computer projects

living with my parents is aight, but fuck my siblings, and I have no space

dense shard

oh yeah, siblings

I feel your pain.

civic girder

every day I am the dog in the "this is fine" meme

dense shard

ouch

civic girder
#

yea

dense shard
#

I have a good thing going for now. But I am getting annoyed at the no job thing.

civic girder
#

Yea, I know that pain

#

It hurts to have nothing to do but go to school and then laze around

#

hell most of my expenses are buying gas because I just drive around out of sheer boredom

dense shard
#

I used to do that.

civic girder
#

To be fair, I like going on drives like that. But it hurts me to do it when my monthly income isn't great

dense shard
#

Hopefully I'll get a job soon so I can justify driving around for fun.

civic girder
#

#

I applied at a place one of my friends works at, and he's been asking me if I have received a response yet, but I've had nothing

#

worst case scenario I just do what I did a couple summers ago

#

but I would like to work a different job within my field than that one, since that one can be a pain at times

#

I also want to get a new and updated rust protection job on the RX-7

#

then I can drive it even when there's salt

indigo coral
#

Im a lazy freeloader lol. Parents have paid for most all my car-expenses so far

I need to get a job soon

I had all expenses paid until recently.

Thr LBZ is the most reliable

my brothers first car is prob gonna be a 2001 Ram 2500 Cummins

Not a 12 valve though

@indigo coral What do you think? The gaming score will be better cause I'm going with dual RX 580's.

indigo coral
#

why would you crossfire 580s wtf

fathom socket
#

What do you mean?

indigo coral
#

Get a 2070S or 5700 xt or something

fathom socket
#

I don't have the money

#

RX 580's are cheap and powerful

indigo coral
#

Fair enough

#

I need a bigger SSD

fathom socket
#

Which is why I can't spend a ton

dense shard
#

Then get one GPU.

lethal garnet
#

the crossfire wont help you that much in a lot of games

dense shard
#

Drop the X-series processor.

#

Go for a standard 2700.

lethal garnet
#

yee get the 3600 instead if anything

fathom socket
#

I have a friend with a 2700x for cheap

#

That's the only reason why I'm getting it.

#

The 3600 is so damn expensive

#

Why would I spend $170 more for a 13% increase in performance?

dense shard
#

The same reason you'd crossfire contemporary GPUs.

#

You can get a 5600XT for 280 dollars.

fathom socket
#

I can spend $250 for dual RX 580's or I can spend $300-$400 for a GPU with the same power

dense shard
#

You won't be able to utilize dual 580s for any gaming application.

#

Crossfire hasn't been relevant for a decade.

fathom socket
#

It also gives me more ports for all my monitors

dense shard
#

Either way. Perhaps you'd be better off asking one of the tech chats.

fathom socket
#

I guess

#

Damnit you were right

#

I hate it when I'm wrong

dense shard
#

Seek more opinions.

#

It never hurts.

#

I used to run dual GPUs for what that's worth, but that's on decade old cards. lol

#

Even back then it was kinda dubious.

#

If you are looking at not gaming workloads, crossfire/SLI might net you a benefit? But I can't even begin to comment on that.

#

Anyway, back to cars and stuff.

fathom socket
#

Yeah

civic girder
#

Multi-GPU is shit for anything that isn't professional. And even then, it's still pretty niche

#

And don't get the 2700, it's slower in games than the 2600, and costs more

civic spoke
#

Single GPU is where it's at.

dense shard
#

It's been established Conrad here can get a super cheap 2700x I believe. So hell yeah there.

civic girder
#

The 2700x is still slower, but if it costs the same as a 2600, then I guess there's no reason not to

fathom socket
#

Huh

#

The 5600xt doesn't show up on UserBenchmark

#

Is it a new GPU?

civic girder
#

I think it's a fairly recent card, newer than the 5700

fathom socket
#

All the videos on the 5600xt are a week old or newer

#

Oh hell no

#

I don't have $300+ for a 5600xt

#

I was told it was cheap

civic girder
#

Well, that's cheap by modern brand new standards

fathom socket
#

Yeah

civic girder
#

But it's not very cheap in terms of monetary value

fathom socket
#

I was told it was less than $300

#

Damn, what do I get now?

civic girder
#

1650 maybe

#

But if you want to stay with team red, hop on eBay and look for RX590s

fathom socket
#

A fuck it

#

I'm gonna have to go Nvidia

civic girder
#

1650 and 1660 are solid cards

fathom socket
#

What about a 1070 TI?

civic girder
#

If you want used hardware, good choise

fathom socket
#

I can get a 1070 TI for $250

night current
#

1050ti is pretty good used choice for a temporary gpu, I was rockin that for 3 years and still gets 60+ fps at medium-high.

stoic ledge
#

1070Ti has better gaming performance than a 1660 Ti iirc

civic girder
#

1660Ti is marginally slower

5600XT for the same price as used 1070Ti is quite interesting, basically same performance but with warranty etc

Sorry was in class

Where can you buy a 5600xt for under $300?

indigo coral

I already did a test drive. It reaches 45mph just fine (the fastest speed on the roads I take to work)
I just can't get near 4k rpm, or it pulls itself back.

I'll reseat everything I touched tomorrow.
Don't have enough time today before going to work.

civic girder
#

could be a fuel cut problem

drifting mantle
#

Hopefully something simple.
Or at least something cheap x'D

indigo coral
#

on my RX stuff like that happens when the mass airflow sensor is dirty

#

it'll lock out 4th gear and cap your revs

civic girder
#

The RX-7 did something similar to that once, when the last fuel pump was dying

#

if the pump started to die on you, you could usually get it to keep going by mashing the throttle and dropping a gear, but the engine would not sound pleased and it would get stuck at like 5k rpm (there's no rev limiter, it just did that on its own)

indigo coral

The song library apparently doesn't save you from strikes.

Ah yes, that's pretty sick

I had my phone on mute cause I was standing out in the hallway about to enter class

Model Y deliveries apparently next month

indigo coral
#

[X] Doubt

#

tesla has never delivered anything on time

eager kite
civic girder
#

Yea, I'm pressing X on this one as well

eager kite
#

mmm, well originally they were targeting the fall of this year

#

then they moved it to the summer...

indigo coral
#

They're probably misinformed. Tesla dealers don't have a clue what's going on, just watch Rich Rebuild's video on his Model X

civic girder
#

I'd be more inclined to believe that Ford could release a car with comfortable seats than believe Tesla can keep a timeline

indigo coral
#

Downright embarassing

eager kite
#

there's a trend for the Y delivery estimate getting shorter

indigo coral
#

Have you seen Rich Rebuild's Model X saga?

#

Seriously a mess.

eager kite
#

yea that's a mess

I remember seeing something about a Model 3 dying in a driveway. Was parked, and then the guy received a text saying the car could no longer drive

eager kite
#

also, this is all based off a reddit post by a confirmed Tesla owner, so either he's trolling everyone or it's actually coming pretty early

#

most of the Tesla community is expecting it to come early anyway, but next month sounds a little too close

civic girder
#

I remember when the Model 3 came out

#

and no one could even get one

eager kite
#

oh yea, ramp up will be slow, but probably will be much faster for Y than 3

civic girder
#

There was someone at work who pre-ordered a Model 3 early on

#

took over a year from the launch for it to be delivered, and then it had multiple issues iirc

#

the Tesla community cult

#

FTFY

eager kite
#

nah just a community

civic girder
#

I prefer the Rotary Cult

eager kite
#

Also, Tesla and Michigan reached some sort of agreement in their lawsuit, probably means Tesla will be able to finally open up stores and service centers in the state.

#

Q4 earnings call is in 8 days, so we'll probably hear more about it then

civic girder
#

The dynamic between the LS swappers and the rotary purists is great

#
