    Off Topic So slow I'm ashamed...

    Totally am. I am an absolute luddite with that stuff, but I did muddle my way into downloading in 5.1 96 FLACC the entire Amerika album by Rammstein, so there's that. Every 8-10 years, I deep-dive into PC's and learn allll there is to know so that I can have a proper rig built. Then I go back...

    Off Topic So slow I'm ashamed...

    DDR5 is obviously the future, but honestly, RAM isn't going to make or break a gaming experience. I remember reading a comparison between 2400 and 3200ms RAM in FPS, and it was something like 1-3fps, depending on the game during heavy usage. So long as you have enough, you're fine. Games are...

    Brand new CX-5 Turbo Vibration at 55-67mph

    My A36's did this exact thing. They are just bad tires. CC2's will cure this.

    So far, my build soldiers on, half a decade after I began this thread, roughly. A few weeks ago I did another performance test. Yes, it still slaps. A few years back I pulled the 1080GTX out and put in a 1080Ti, and swapped the 500W PSU for an 850W PSU. Otherwise, just enjoyed the rig...

    2017~2025 Considering a change from Subaru

    I have owned a RAV4 Prime as well as two CX5s (a 2015 Touring AWD and a 2019 GT Reserve). I prefer the CX5 turbo to the prime, and both to the N/A CX5. -I never had any DI/carbon issues at 106K miles in my 2015, or 80K miles in my 2019 CX5. -The NA CX5 does fine with 87, the turbo benefits from...

    Over filling the gas tank, is this a practice that should be avoided?

    Humility needs to be encouraged.

    About to buy my first Mazda, having Subaru guilt...

    One of my good friends had a Crosstrek. The sound system was nice and the rest of the car sucked. The Mazda is just a great experience minus the seats. Otherwise, great vehicle.

    2017 New Tires CrossContact LX25

    Keep in mind the Pro is only rated at 400 treadwear. The Pirelli does VERY awesome and has an 800 treadwear rating. All 3 seem to trade blows in the normal weather testing with the Pro edging the other two out, but at the price of only 400 treadwear vs 640 and 800 for the others. However, when...

    2019 Signature - Faint pitched ticking noise when accelerating

    Mine did that sometimes, although your audio clip makes it sound more pronounced, it was an identical noise. Back in the day, Subaru had "cricket chirps" in the BRZ's due to the fuel pump.

    Brand new CX-5 Turbo Vibration at 55-67mph

    Just trash tires. My Cx5 had the same issue, and my RDX has had it too. I just replaced its tires at 1200 miles. Replacing trash oem tires with quality tires fixes this.

    CX-60 PHEV reveal on March 8th

    255's would be excellent. I know the 255's on my RDX are worlds better and more solid feeling than the 225's on my CX5 were, even though the cars have similar weight distribution and total weight.
