You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Yeah that's it man, after the conversion it stings ya a bit.. I'm still contemplating getting into project cars whats the online racing like?

Is it a good sim? I have a illegal dl version of it the 2 minutes I played seemed pretty cool.

I still haven't tried online yet. It's much more fun than iRacing but also a lot more forgiving (perhaps more real? lol)

Heaps of cool cars and tracks. Devs are giving it a lot of support too. I paid like $75 for it and am pretty happy with it. Think I've clocked 20 hours or so

Are any of these racing sims worth getting if I don't have a steering wheel setup?

Been playing real racing 3 on iPhone, that's pretty cool for a free phone game...all 1.5gb of it...since when did developers stop giving a shit about drive space?

Simulators? no.

Forza horizon, those types of games with a controller are fine.

I picked up my cockpit / wheel setup for 300 bucks (google playseat evolution) on a geek forum, plonk it in front of my 70" TV with a HTPC desktop running a few upgrades that I got from old workplace cost me like 600 to get up and running I guess.. but I use the HTPC for other things as well.

Fair enough, mines kind of stored in the corner of my lounge room then pool it out on furniture sliders when I use it - kind of looks awesome/shitty at the same time.

if that's an invitation to go and pay to play I'm busy :P

How does our tv cope with the setup?

Fine, the Sony TVs have better input lag than any other TV out there so the best for gaming.

Some TVs are shithouse,e.g you'd turn the wheel (or steer with controller) .2 sec later see the movement actually happen. Theres a site out there with a whole database of input lag response on panels lol

Haha yeah that was one of the reasons I bought it - every millisecond counts in cod

Though I'm havin a ton of issues with internet lag at the moment - cod has truly turned to shit, everyone is a quickscoping fgt with a laggy connection, you watch your death replay and you haven't even opened fire on them half the time

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
