Is my PC too old? :/

Johan-N — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 00:15:18 +0800

Hi guys its been 3 years since i last played any games been to busy with work and other hobbies... so lately i just recently digged out my old rig from the storage after leaving it there for nearly 3 years and surprisingly it started up so i missed the good old gaming days

anyway i am so outdated that i have no idea what i'm seeing at all at the garage sales section...

so i'd just like to ask is my rig still worth keeping and upgrading or should i just scrap it? i only intend to do some casual gaming and just want decent frame rates for shooter games like bf4,COD etc

i tried running some new games lately and it lags like shit

so guys is my PC worth upgrading?
here are my specs

AMD Phenom II 955 x4
AMD 970A-g45 board
8gb DDR3 1333 Ram
Coolermaster 500w psu

JPJ inspection letter :(

Johan-N — Mon, 13 Jul 2015 22:15:40 +0800

guys i'd like to ask.

I have a bmw with a 1jz engine(i just bought the car and its been endorsed and puspakomed less than a month ago when i bought it although the puspakom was done by seller before i bought it)

but yesterday i got stopped at a JPJ block for my HID lights, so they gave me 2 pieces of paper, one for my HID lights and another for asking my car to go in for a inspection before 23

so here's what im worried about

1. My car has light tint which is faded, and when i bought the car and transferred it to my name. the tint was already on and just have recently went through puspakom. i dont know how it went through puspakom with tint but do i need to remove it before i go for inspection?

2. My 1jz engine is endorsed and its engine number is already on my geran, so do i need to worry about anything on my engine?

3. The car came with a decently loud exhaust(apex dunk megaphone), do i need to worry about that? some say i should put a stock exhaust?

4. The car also came with quite big rims, i mean the offset is low so the rims stick out a bit from the fender.. is that something to worry about during inspection?

appreciate any pointers or help u guys can give sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

a bit nervous as this is my first time going for this kind of stuff sad.gif

Help with my car

Johan-N — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:59:09 +0800

Hey guys i've recently bought a 2nd hand car and i have stumbled upon the following problems, i have tried googling them but failed to find any useful info

so i here i am

anyway here are some of the problems i am facing

- both driver and passenger side seatbelts are extremely loose and sometimes they have no tension on them whatsoever, so i have to yank em hard until they regain a bit of tension.

- T bar glass roof are leaking quite badly on passenger and driver side, i suspect its the seals but despite my effort i have failed to find any shops that can rectify it for me.

- wiper arms spring on driver side is extremely loose causing the wiper to jump across the screen and actually make visibility worse after using them

- my cars headunit sometimes tend to lose power after going through a bad pothole

- both passenger and driver side seats have pretty worn leather with plenty of cracks, is there any place to refurbish them?

- windshields are extremely blur when there's water on them and extremely hard to see out of at night, i suspect there's a buildup of something on em? any place to sand em?

i have plenty of other problems like my clutch is completely gone but that i think i can somewhat handle myself, anyway i would really appreciate if you guys could recommend me a few shops or point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys and Merry Christmas

3rd party insurance only option for 10+yr car

Johan-N — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:42:20 +0800

Hey guys, I've recently booked a Toyota MR2 turbo which was manufactured in the year of 1991. The 2nd hand car shop i'm buying the car from says that this car can only get third party insurance, i actually thought that the insurance company they are using only can do third party so i asked a friend who sells insurance, she said that apparently cars above a certain age are not able to get 1st party insurance and are only allowed to get 3rd party ones.

She said this new system was introduced about two years ago, so i have tried doing some research on this but couldn't find much info on this. So i would like to ask if any of you own a car above 10 years old with 1st party insurance?

I am not really keen on third party insurance as in a accident it only covers the person i hit and it doesn't cover if my car gets stolen

Thanks everyone

Budget sports car? MR2, impreza, evo 6

Johan-N — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 21:44:28 +0800

Hey guys since my plans of buying a 1jz land rover defender were a no go due to my height issue

I'm now looking for a cheap sports car.

I've been doing some research for about a week now and i've come up with this list of cars i can get

toyota mr2 turbo with 245hp engine
subaru impreza gc8 4 door
Mitsubishi evo 6
bmw e46 325ci(hard to find)

I'm looking for a car which can be used as a daily driver and one i won't have to worry about maintaining so much, logically the bmw would be the ideal car but the jap cars have power as their comeback and perhaps cheaper parts

any ideas guys?

1jz twin turbo Defender

Johan-N — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:13:51 +0800

I plan to buy a 1jz Land Rover defender soon and i've been doing some research on the net but i couldn't find much info. So i was wondering what are the things to look out for?

I understand old landy's suffer rust issues? But what other things should i look out for?

And about the 1jz engine what normally should one check?

The car is a 1990 model, its a defender 110 pickup,auto gearbox,functional 4wd,standard engine with hks air filter and that pretty much sums it up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have a ps3 which i bought in japan, i didn't really get to test it when buying it in japan the only thing i did was try a few blu ray movies and dvds on it to see whether it works, and it could play em.

Now i'm back in malaysia and i tried putting in a bluray game, there's the loading thing at the top right of the screen but it can't detect my disc.

Anybody know whats the problem?

Which temp should i trust?

Johan-N — Thu, 03 May 2012 16:14:02 +0800

Guys i'm having problems, recently i changed my CPU cooler as it was extremely loud and the temps were super high.

So now after i switched em, the temps have dropped BUT my MSI bios sometimes shows a temp while CPUID shows a higher one. And sometimes they are switched.

What is going on? this is the 2nd time i reapplied my thermal paste cause i thought my temps were too high, then i realized these two apps were showing me different temps

My processor is AMD phenom II 955 BE stock clock and motherboard is MSI 970A-g46

Altezza/Lexus is200 2nd car?

Johan-N — Thu, 03 May 2012 12:43:17 +0800

Hi guys would like to ask if any of you have experience with Toyota Altezza's or aka Lexus IS200

I'm thinking of getting one as a daily runabout vehicle, so any of you have any opinions on the car?

I'm particularly interested in the rs200 edition that comes with the 215hp and 4pot engine rather then the previous 6 pot.

How's the maintenance and if in the case it does break down, are parts easy to scavenge?
