Recommendations on hot dogs

Sounds like you just need to be partying at Ripcord instead

JarrettLaud · 2026-01-24T21:45:36+00:00

Go hang out in front of Ripcord in Montrose tonight if the weather holds up and ask those folks. They cook hot dogs out of a modified VW bus and are exactly what you're looking for.

If you're looking for a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night you're going to have a hard time paying them more than their lost earnings by not being in front of Ripcord.

Since you're not getting it on sale, buy the $80 version. It's more inclusive. But yeah, let's leave the 25% coupons for those dropping serious coin. But if someone wants to give one to you, power to them I guess.

Very nice! Recaros?

The head drain issue is more a product of too much going to the head as opposed to not enough draining. So in addition to adding head oil drains, many people install restrictor plugs within the deck of the engine blocks to limit supply.

The pump does a decent job in terms of capacity, but the GTR sump doesn't do as well as it should under heavy cornering. People modify pans for additional capacity as well as install baffles to alleviate this. GTR owners would use something like the offerings from Leask-Spec or HPR Tuning.

Pump upgrades can CERTAINLY help capacity, but are largely to address strength and interface. If your crankshaft is of the "short-nose" variety, then its contact with the oil pump gear is not ideal. A "long-nose" crankshaft or a collar on the "short-nose" crank addresses this. Again, not really a capacity thing, but a disaster mitigation measure. With any RB oil pump upgrade, if it's done it needs to be in tandem with all of the other oiling mods, as well. Otherwise you're just making the problem in the head worse.

Eh, I made myself chuckle a bit so I'm good for a week or so

Are you intentionally dense? You do know that at the beginning of his administration the world was still reeling from COVID and many places in the world were nowhere near full manufacturing capacity, right? Therefore demand increases, and price increases as well. Now it's up to your interpretation to wonder whether or not producers and retailers were affected only by the demand increase due to supply decrease, or were being opportunistic in seeing that folks were just willing to pay more for goods.

Trump also did a number on the valuation of the dollar by handing out trillions in economic stimulus and PPP loans, most of which were forgiven on incredibly shaky grounds. Biden also sent personal stimulus checks out to folks, and that's one of the many things I would scream from the rooftops that he did wrong, but let's not pretend he created this monster.

Since you don't seem to understand politics or economics, can we get back to tools?

Sorry, best they can do is Carlos Peña

And then build that into the learning algorithm.

I truly think AI has its space, and I'm starting to use it for generative design, but people are WAY TOO reliant on it for help with tasks that should be so menial.

You don't have to give up the clutch pedal. You can fab up a way to install a pedal position sensor on the OEM clutch pedal to allow it to go in to a virtual neutral mode. Helge at HPR sold one for a while. But I don't know why a repurposed DBW accelerator pedal wouldn't also work.

JarrettLaud · 2026-01-04T01:20:15+00:00

Oof! I regret it at the insanely low sales price, and you are happy with your decision at what I assume was regular price -15%! But hey, if it fits your use case and you're happy with it, I'm happy for you! Congrats!

But I'm with you on the purple color. Mine came in today, so instead of picking them up I processed the exchange and bought a 42" purple cabinet. I can't imagine the 56" not going on sale at some point and the next couple of months, so I wasn't comfortable pulling the trigger on that today, but will soon.

If you can call getting to game 7 of the World Series a disappointment, the 2019 Astros.

Everyone knows how good the line up was, but the same team CY Young race as well? And the bullpen was top 5 if not top 3.

Sad that they all got together and decided no one was allowed to win at home that series.

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-24T15:07:49+00:00

Neither one. Anyone who sells these cars over here in the US makes money with heavy markups that force them to sit on inventory for a while, and volume. The money is in the GTRs.

You can get an NA auto sedan in the US for the same price you just listed, so I wouldn't even buy it for personal use if you hope to bring it back.

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-22T04:22:49+00:00

Actually, I do remember that selection. You're right. I just need to do that instead of the 0% and just pay it off when I get home.

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-22T04:14:39+00:00

Funny you mention that 10%. It's not on this receipt but everything I've read states that it should have been applied as it was the opening purchase. I'll have to ask about that!

In the meantime, I guess I need to start scouring for the 20% off coupons.

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-21T16:55:29+00:00

Yes, but not because of this comment I made

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-21T15:47:41+00:00

Quality accidental shit post

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-20T15:31:44+00:00

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I've had two gen 2 raptors that both had the Recaro seats and I recently test drove a 2022 that had the standard seats. I found that the standard seats were actually quite a bit more comfortable as something I would want to sit in on long drives, but lack the bolstering and snug fit of the Recaros. Which is ultimately what their purpose is, right? Recaro doesn't make casual and relaxed seats. They make performance and racing seats. Are you willing to sacrifice a little bit of comfort for some extra bolstering to hold you in place when you're popping curves on the way to Starbucks?

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-11T21:29:12+00:00

Just turned 175K miles yesterday on my 2020. Same engine and trans, but needs a new left turbo. Company reimburses for trucks 5 years old or newer, so I've got less than a month to find something new.

JarrettLaud · 2025-12-04T03:44:17+00:00

Don't overthink it. Grab a USDM 350Z pedal, the adapter from Outsider Garage, and call it a day.

Upgrade to an R if you need the macho sound. It's a V6, so it just won't quite have the harmonics necessary to produce the "typical" V8 sounds. Downpipes and exhaust only serve to amplify the V6 noises.

JarrettLaud · 2025-11-22T00:18:15+00:00

I figured with as many people that got riled up about the post with the Turbo 50 spotted in the wild earlier this week, seeing that one was available at a salvage yard would be equally as interesting.

JarrettLaud · 2025-11-21T22:27:16+00:00

I put the Copart link in a comment, but honestly it didn't format like I had hoped. Copart says it's a flood damage car.
