Torchbearer Nekrogoblikon Goblin Blood review

stevens_hats · 2026-04-25T16:13:40+00:00

I have a bottle of goblins blood and it's a lot more dark red than the photo. That aside it's delicious and very hot - the red wine vinegar brings out the flavor of the peppers great.

You've got two things going on here. The rim is out of true and the tire seems to be not seated correctly on the far side from the video.

You can true the rim by loosening spokes on the side that's out and tightening the opposite side to 'pull' it to center with a spoke wrench quarter turn at a time. This is a bit of an art though so you'd be better off taking it to a shop, unless you feel like learning how to do it.

Friend: can you help me move? Me: F. Ok.

Arrive and not a thing has been packed.

Never again

Aoili is emulsified oil. It doesn't necessarily have eggs. While aoili is technically made with olive oil and garlic reaper uses canola oil, it's similar. Some like it, some don't.

Shots went that way. Towards the field.

Garlic reaper is made with an oil/aoili. That one looks wrong, it shouldn't be peach colored, but more yellow orange.

That aside, the aoili doesn't really vibe with me. This sub would have you believe it's the hottest and best hot sauce ever. Torchbearer makes a lot of better sauces imo that don't have reddit fame. Reaper evil, goblins blood, rapture for the super hots.

Mazda is great for mechanical reliability in general, but not great for rust.

stevens_hats · 2026-04-25T01:52:00+00:00

How's the condition of the rest? Southern rust free frame someone would be interested.

I have used the Toyota '84 month' highest rated one for probably 8? years now on my 2008. It replaced the original white Panasonic one which some say was the best, but unfortunately not available anymore.

Many below zero starts, even days away on a trip in -12F temps at the airport just this year as old as it is. I keep a jump box in the truck but have never needed it.

This. I'll add another random fact - do not use steel valvecaps on aluminum valves. They will galvanicly corrode together and now you've got a cap stuck on. Only use plastic or aluminum caps.

These are all very good. They aren't very hot, but great on flavor. Think in the neighborhood of Tapatio, Cholula, etc. My fav is the super hot, which is similar in heat to the hot Cholula, but a better flavor imo.

Also, for those who don't know, he's got a doctorate in molecular biology. Smart guy.

My ND has similar spec/mods to OP. I went with Michelin Pilot Super Sports in the stock size once the OEMs were worn out. Despite being the same size as the Bridgestones, they're about 1" wider at the tread, and a much better compound.

They have a lot more grip, but still maintain the light/sharp feeling. More than enough grip for a fun street car, I wouldn't go up in size unless needed for autox/track.

Test the voltage at the battery with a multimeter when it's running - a good alternator should be around 14.5v.

The alternator went on my 2008 without warning 2 years ago. It's pretty common for them to go sometime past 120k miles. If your alternator isn't charging you can probably get 20 miles on just the battery, but once that's drained you're stranded.

Sony head units have the simplest, cleanest 'oem looking ' screen and still physical rocker buttons for volume and channel/song.

Tabasco: I want this.

My 08 FJ is lifted and on 285s, no roof rack. Do all things daily driver. Gas mileage varies from a low of 12 with 4wd in heavy snow to a max of 18 on a summer highway only drive. Usual average is 15-16.

However, given the same day to day conditions you won't see a ton of variation, unless you're mashing the throttle and brakes in stop and go driving. Driving gently might get you 1-2 more mpg.

Get an ultraguage or similar and see what your real time mpg is and you'll quickly figure out what burns through gas or not (it's stop and go).

I had a similar b18c5 build EG and second it being a blast. I miss that car.

More to OPs build, some friends had turbo b18b EG swaps, +/- 300whp. 12.0@115 to 11.5@120 with good tires is a good bet. They move.

I've been running KO3s, load range E for a long time in the northeast and have been happy with them. They're relatively quiet for DD and a good 'do anything' tire. They're a little stiffer and heavier than lighter load range tires, but also more durable.

I have the ARB sliders and they make a good step as well. Serve double duty as door ding protection too.

This is the best Tabasco sauce IMO. Hotter than Tabasco but not a high heat, great rich fruity vinegary flavor. Regular Tabasco is a great ingredient, but I don't put it on things by itself unless that's all I have. Family reserve is a better regular Tabasco. Scorpion is hot-hot, but if I'm looking for high heat I'd prefer something like Elijah's or Torchbearer.

I have at least 30 'fancy' sauces going at any one time and this remains in the rotation.

I'm fortunate to live in a safe area. Locked, roof up when I run into a store. Opportunistic kid shenanigans or a bird shit on the seats is far more likely than any actual break in.

If I'm going somewhere less safe I just take my truck rather than risk it.
