  1. Quite an interesting history, TEIN Flex Z (and then above that MCA Blues, though they're an Aussie business) coilovers is what I see a lot of people suggesting when it comes to upgrading suspension. Bought mine a couple months ago from a dealership in South Australia, which is over 2,500km from me, sight unseen, only went off pictures from carsales. As such, I didn't get much of it's history, dealership didn't care even though they run a fairly niche JDM dealership, so don't know about anything that's been replaced that isn't regularly replaced, or obvious. It has got an engine dampener, and a K&N air filter, and once I get my open license in less than a years time the plan is to pop a supercharger on top.
  2. Cheers mate, as far as I'm aware it's its factory match, there's like 2 marks on the very back of it on the left, and chip just above the rear window, not sure how I'll flatten them out and make it look nice but right now it looks perfect from 2 metres or so. I assume from your profile pic you've got an SE? Was very much planning on getting one myself, but just ended up getting a stock NB8B.
  3. There's a damb good reason for it too. They're fun as. Edit: At least they're not as common as a WRX or Lancer.
  4. I wouldn't have him fade from the public entirely, I am quite fond of Elon because of his innovation, but this was entirely uncalled for. He acted in the same way that a 16 year old girl would where she posts on Facebook calling Brittany a slut after Brittany got the spot of cheerleader squad captain instead of her.
  5. All of the points about making the decision between having 4x8GB or 2x16GB setups has been listed, but to summarise. If you're going to get 4 modules of 8GB and are buying the same RAM, you really shouldn't have any compatibility issues. It also subjectively looks a lot nicer to have all 4 slots occupied, but cancels out your option to upgrade to 64GB of RAM, though I doubt you'll ever need that much even before you decide to totally upgrade your RAM anyway. And 4 is more than 2, which means you have effectively double the chance to have a RAM stick die, but RAM is incredibly reliable, and very rarely dies.
  6. Sometimes Elon really is a bloody idiot, just far too vocal about stuff that has no well intentioned thought behind it.
  7. Yeezus I need to change my member title. 

    It's currently "Interweb expert, gaming elite, and anime master.", I intended it to be satire, but after over 6 years it's not quite fitting anymore imo.

  8. Hey guys, finally decided to pop in here and announce myself and my car. Had her for a little over 3 weeks now, but the last time I came into this thread I hadn't got any good pictures of her. She's a 2001 Mazda MX-5, second gen and basically entirely stock. I definitely intend on getting better looking wheels, I don't like the look of them at all. Also a new head unit is on it's way, the FM radio is dodgy (have yet to fiddle with the antenna though) and there's not even an AUX in the standard head unit. Haven't got any interior pics, but it's the black and red leather combo. And yes that picture is unedited, I've disabled the master AI feature on my P20 Pro.
  9. @alby800 Isn't the only one with an MX-5 now.

  11. Hey guys, looking to buy a replacement back cover for my P20 Pro as I dropped it within the first week of buying it, and as it was the first it was the last. It still works 100%, but at such a price I'm not keen on keeping it in it's current condition. I've seen plenty of 'OEM' and 'Original' back covers listed online from around 20 USD to 30 Libyan Dinar, but they clearly aren't factory spec with most of the text on the cover not being present. I'd be fine with doing the repair myself, but does anyone know where I would find a genuine back cover, or are the ones advertised as 'OEM' just as good? Cheers.

    Anyone who bitches about the Pixel 3 XL notch s…

    Sounds very possible. Also an update on the notch situation with my P20 Pro, I set it to disabled in general, and the top part of the display below the notification bar is curved, weird how they don't do that when it's done for specific apps. It's generally useless the background being displayed in the notification bar, but hey, more of my neato wallpaper is a plus for me. Anyways, I'm done talking about notches, played enough Minecraft when I was 15 way back when.

    Well Oppo with their Find X has an interesting way of going about it, and as you mentioned, Samsung has their under-screen stuff going. I foresee without a doubt that sensors and speakers will be built in under the display within not so many years. Not sure exactly how a camera under the display would work though.

    @Ryan_Vickers Your suggestion is exactly what Huawei allows for with the P20 Pro. I personally appreciate the notch, only app that I've encountered that messes around with the notch is Snapchat, and I've just disabled it anyways. You run into issues with fullscreen video content that you've set to fill the screen, but that's stupid as shit because it chops off the top and bottom of the video anyway. Auto does an almost perfect job of dealing with troublesome apps (once again just Snapchat in my case). Though disabling the notch makes it so that the top corners of the display *below* the notification tab are square, no curving added, which is not great when absolutely everything else is curved on and around the display. In any case, I agree with dizmo, if you don't like it, don't deal with it, and if the phone basically removes the top section of the display when you disable the notch, than that's just shitty design on the brand's behalf. I'm pretty sure the notch trend will fade, Apple with their infinite wisdom is pushing less and less 'innovation' onto other brands. Or rather other brands are just doing better things by themselves.
  15. I'd think the 10M fine would be an additional sum they'd need to pay out on top of the total amount that was incorrectly charged to users, but if Telstra is doing it on an inquiry-only basis than they won't have to pay nearly as much as what they reaped through this.
  16. You mean like, following the thread? Whenever someone posts in a thread you've followed you get a notification.
  17. They respawn so to speak, kinda weird how after you chop some dude's head off, he comes back saying that you small like a molerat.

    @minervx I already bought some ZMF pads, but they aren't shipping until Sunday. I'm currently using the stock HyperX Cloud pads and they're bearable in this config.
  19. Just an FYI, don't buy the ATH-M50Xs, buy the M40Xs if anything, and for the love of God if you get the M40Xs get some new earpads. The stock pads are fucking torture.

      The M50x are good in my experience.  The earpads do wear out.  Wipe them with rubbing alcohol pads (used on glasses) once a week to extend their life, but you probably should replace the pads every year or two.

  20. Wait, anyone can see these via just the home page. Oh......

  21. That's exactly the thing, getting into Cryptocurrencies before you know what you're doing is a really big hassle. Like anything, do some good research into what you can expect with what you have, and plan for any additional problems.

    What way?

    Whichever way you think is most secure, or easy for yourself to deal with. If you have a non-modular PSU, it'd probably be wise to set the fans to Push as cables wouldn't have the chance to get caught in them.
  23. You won't be getting it in whole coins, rather you get a fraction of a coin depending on how much you contributed to the pools progress (a group of miners). I mean, you could mine a crypto by yourself, but that's silly as it's the same amount of money/power but just more infrequent. Dunno about how quickly you can get it up and running, from what it seems nowadays it's really quick and as simple as downloading the miner and launching it.
  24. If I was upgrading my components, I'd look to sell my old hardware. No use in keeping a 280X if you've just bought a GTX 1070 and have no other computer setups. As I mentioned, it's good for buyers, in some cases, but you'll have the off chance of buying a brutally used GPU that hasn't got a break since it was unboxed. For sellers, there's absolutely no upside, more competition which advertise for far less than average drastically reduces your returns.
