My Awards

  1. The front brakes on this are B E E G for such a small car (AA battery for scale) Also, when it did an MOT in October, the handbrake barely passed. I tested it out by trying to do a handbrake turn and now it doesn't work at all now for some reason. I'm guessing and hoping something is seized rather than being completely broken. Seized is "easy" to fix. Replacing parts is also "easy" but that costs money.
  2. I made an torque wrenches. I need a set of 1/4. 3/8 and 1/2 torque wrench. Buying them is going to cost me £140 for a cheapish set, so I just made my own using my 1/4 ratchet, 3/8 ratchet and 1/2 breaker bar combined with a digital luggage scale. The white line is where the strap goes, followed by the Nm to kg conversion. For example with that photo, if I have to tighten something to 87Nm, it's 87x0.102 which is 8.984, then x2 because the white line is at 50cm to make it 17.74kg that I have to reach on the scale. With a 18.5kg weight, it reads 18.7kg so the scale is accurate to +/-1%
  3. 4.9kg weight saving from a non-titanium exhaust is pretty good.
  4. Internet contract expired. Was on 500Mbps, now on this for £10/month cheaper.
  5. 32GB does make a surprising difference over 16GB. I'd recommend 16GB as minimum. VRAM depends on resolution. I've got 8GB at 4K and it seems fine, but more would be better.
  6. Alternative headline: MSI just invented a new form of piracy. This is such a stupid decision. Especially for monitors that are that expensive.
  7. If you keep doing this kind of work on your car, soon you'll be exhausted.
  8. I don't have FS2020 installed anymore because of how much storage it takes up, but that new aircraft does look really fun to fly.
  9. If we're now going on 15 years + OG PS4 and Xbone, I guess I can rule out my PS4 Pro and copy of Gran Turismo 7 then (I wasn't actually going to count GT7 as a retro game, it just came out 2 years ago) I do occasionally still play GT3 (2001) and GT4 (2004) on an emulator though, but on modern hardware. My non-Mac sigrig to be specific.
