Came back to biking after years of hiatus, thinking of either upgrading my bike or save up on a new bike.

After a few years of hiatus, finally came back to biking. Current bike is my 10+year old Trinx M136. Shared a lot of memories on this bike as it is my first ever actual bike coming from BMX. I always long for this bike to be upgraded back then since this is an entry level bike with entry level parts but back then I am still a broke high school kid and parts aren't as widespread and as cheap compared today.

Now, I am still kinda broke but parts are considerably cheaper now and I can finally afford some upgrades. My original plan for this bike before is a trailing bike but my interest on trailing faded away and I am now aiming to make it a bike for chill long rides.

But seeing the how the current bike market today became cheaper as well, I am considering getting a new bike instead. Thinking of going gravel or road bike this time since I don't plan running on trails anymore.

For upgrades, I am thinking on investing first on a rigid fork and a fast rolling tire like CST Foxtrail or Innova Pro Cobra Skin.

But I don't know if I should still invest on upgrades or just invest it in a new bike altogether. What do you think?

Thinking of investing 15-20k for a gravel/road bike but if I am upgrading I might try to make it below 15k

Any insights or opinions would be appreciated, thanks!

Where to get A56 for a decent price?

Parang naubos na ata yung tig 13k na a56 sa official samsung sa Shopee/Laz.

Budget is 20k I'm just looking to get as an upgrade phone para sa lola ko coming from Huawei P20 Lite.

Other suggestions are welcome as well, as long as maganda camera, 256gb internal at friendly sa UI para for elderly people.

Tinitingan ko ren Camon 50 Ultra, specs is decent but didn't like it too much nung triny ko sa store

I am currently using Camon 30 Premier at mukhang downgrade ung 50 ultra tapos daming AI bloat ung UI.

Na try ko A57, mukhang mas friendly ung UI for elderly people but it is too expensive so I am thinking to look other sellers of A56.

As the caption says I have 2.7k+ laps in but I only really race on Tokyo Bay Area, C1 and Otsuki. Ichikawa is one of my least played maps. I mainly play on keyboard and M/T transmission

Certain person said it is impossible to reach 5:45 on an AE86 with 250hp so this got me interested to see if it is real or not. Upon testing it seems even with me lacking proper experience mastering this track, AE86 is a very capable car to handle the goliath and reach 5:45. With engine tunes, minor suspension and steering tweaks it seems to have decent acceleration and very predictable handling which made a lot easier to use. In fact my tune also uses lower amount of max power at 231HP only which means at 250HP I can be even faster by couple of seconds.

As shown in the pics, after a good amount of practice laps I reached 5:47, then I just gradually correct mistakes that I encounter during my previous runs to finally reach a 5:44.8

Here is my tune:

ECU, Exhaust, Intake, Injector, Internals, Block are all Stage 3

Max HP: 231

Semi Slicks

Front and Rear Offset: 0.2

Steering Aggressiveness: 70%

Final Drive: 4.34

Everything else is bone stock

As you can see, the only real major change I did is adding more power. I reckon that if I applied WR3 and lowered steering ratio by a little bit this thing can reach below 5:40
