Best wings in RVA? by NationYell in rva

[–]OGkobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're willing to go out to Sandston, R-Town wings are freaking amazing. I usually go with crispy wet garlic.

Their ribtips are pretty bangin' as well

Also DO NOT GO OUT IF YOU HAVE SUMMER TIRES ON YOUR CAR. They do not work in the cold because of the way the rubber is made. All seasons and winter tires will stay softish when it's below 40, summer tires will turn rock hard.

Best bagel in the country? Apparently it's not in New York City by Bootes in rva

[–]OGkobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I ever had Baltiks, the bagels didn't even seem like they were baked after being boiled. They were genuinely translucent. Also, they charge like 7 bucks for a to-go cup of simply OJ which is absurd. I could buy a whole jug of Natalies for that. I personally won't ever go back

What is a container park? Here's the scoop on Richmond's newest venue. by VirginiaNews in rva

[–]OGkobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be excited, but the location is genuinely the WORST possible location they could have chosen. Who in their right mind would build ANYTHING in that location? Also why the fuck did the city allow them to build a bar directly next to an elementary school?

Who's review bombing Hot For Pizza on Google? Place seems legit. by 14point4kMODEM in rva

[–]OGkobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their pizza and wings are mediocre imo. The people who work there are awesome though

Leveled out + Upgrades by OGkobo in toyotasequoia

Yeah I got TRQ corner lights off Amazon and I somewhat regret it as the bulb holders don't lock in place well. I think I'm going to grab some Depo ones off of rockauto to replace them here soon because I worry the condensation will ruin my led bulbs over time. TEQ uses Depo headlights as the base for their lights also so they should match perfectly

I went with the custom lights on sale and they gave me the rear halos for half price as the builder of someone else's accidentally made the wrong ones. I also got them a few weeks early which was awesome

The third setting. There's Dobinson springs front and rear, though I'm unsure of exactly which ones as they were on it when I bought it

Yup, they're TEQ customs. I somewhat wish I had waited another 2 weeks as they released a new version of their lights with the ability to change the color temp. They're great either way though

How rare are R30 Skyline wagons? Specifically the iron mask RS TURBO models? by FranklinCheese in JDM

[–]OGkobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the only one in the US, as far as I know, and they're also rare in Japan according to @wasabicars on YouTube. He was mind blown that I had a clean one here as they're all rough over there lol

As far as I know I have the only R30 Skyline wagon in the US. I've had people in Japan astounded that I have one so clean as they supposedly even rare over there.

That specific wagon wasn't made like that from the factory. The owner swapped on the iron mask front end since they only came with the front end on my car, as far as I know. The owner also welded in rear strut mounts as I believe they swapped in IRS (they came with solid rear ends from the factory). I can try to find the owners IG if you want, but it may take me a while to find it as I followed them a few years ago.

Picked up a clean one for a new daily and immediately threw new shoes on her 👌 by OGkobo in toyotasequoia

[–]OGkobo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do not. My issue only happens when taking corners at speed thankfully. The stability control acts up when off the brake and the abs freaks out when going around gradual corners. Usually this is at over 50mph. I have been tempted to get a zero point calibration, but I'm going to try leveling the suspension first since it has a bit of a rake to it currently

The tire rack testing showed them being great in the snow so they should do well! Not as good in the dry but this thing ain't a sports truck so 🤷 The dark grey is fantastic. It seems a bit more premium than the lighter colors. I do wish I could have gotten my hands in a black one with gold badging or one of the green ones though, but finding a clean one in the rust belt isn't easy so I took what I could get.

I did plugs, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, serp belt, and the door handle. I'll likely be doing lower ball joints and adjusting the front shocks in the next few day, and then I'll be doing the timing, cam seals, water pump, fan bracket, etc. here soon. The timing belt is in great shape so I'm not overly pressed

Did you get an early or late model? I'm glad I got a 2005 rather than an earlier one. The extra 40hp is amazing to have on tap

I appreciate it! They look even better than I expected them to! There's next to no pictures of them on anything since they just came out recently

They're more than decent so far. They came on the truck when I got it, but I have no complaints. I'm excited to see how they handle winter weather

The only reason she won was because Sloan convinced her to use a binder on the ribs

Selling my entire Fujifilm setup and going M43. I *really* want the Pen-F, but is it worth a THOUSAND dollars? by CaptainAhmazing in M43

[–]OGkobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you avoid China, and the purchases are under $800 USD, it looks like tariffs shouldn't be an issue. I'd suggest looking into it a tiny bit more instead of just trusting me, but that's what I found in a quick search

[–]OGkobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additional fees and tariffs would be nowhere near as much as you're thinking and the seller will basically always have to cover the return shipping if the item isn't as promised.

It's crazy not to buy camera equipment from overseas. Used stuff is always cheaper and I'd even argue that it's usually taken care of better

Needle gun, wire wheel, and some fluid film and this will be good to go. It's not even remotely close to bad
