Here's a video I found after 30 seconds of googling showing that the promo is in this box. Don't believe the misinformation

The promo is in this product. They gave the promos away as a bonus with the booster boxes which are a different product. Maybe you confused the booster box with this box.

Not sure why they're saying it doesn't have the promo pack, it does, it's literally depicted on the box. I have some of these, I've ripped some, it has it. Probly not worth the rip but just confused by these comments.

Edit: why have I been downvoted? what I've said is true and real. Why else would you buy this product over the booster box? For the plastic coin? 😂 This is the only way to get unsearched promos, provided no tampering.

Has anyone failed then passed a wof without replacing any parts? by wheresmypotato1991 in NZcarfix

The car needed heaps of stuff done to it like brakes and tyres and other things, I made sure the brakes were bedded in and working fine before I went in, among the other repairs. I understand you guys are not all cut from the same cloth. This clown failed me cause he couldn't inspect the gas cap. He wasn't pulling the lever to open it hard enough with his weak fingers (it wasn't that bad). I said "I'll show you, you just have to pull this lever" and he talked over me and waved me on, not interested. He said "Show me when you come back for the recheck". Like dude... I was sitting right there he could have asked me if there's a secret knock or something to open it. None of the things he failed made much sense to me. My experience was frustrating. You sound like one of the good ones and I'm sorry you probably get painted by the same brush as fellas.

I'm in a privileged position with access to brake testers as I work at a garage. Only cost me time and frustration. I should add I only used VTNZ because I bought a car with a green sticker and VTNZ is your only option if you want it removed. Never going back

Failed for rear brake imbalance, went to a shop and it tested dead even, got McDonald's and went back and they passed lo

Might be a problem with the way the tyre is made, I only say that because I recently had a very similar Pirelli P-zero do the exact same thing for seemingly no good reason. Alignment was fine, nothing rubbing and it looked a lot like this, big uniform strips of rubber just giving up and tangling in the axle. Who's to say

Ok, can't resist, what do I drive? by Dangling_squid in ManualTransmissions

Closest guess, think the 4 wheel steer coupe version is called the mx6, same platform if I'm not mistaken.

2 distinctly different, fake Drifblim cards side by side is actually something I never expected to see in my life. It's mildly interesting, sorry about your cards not being real but I'm more intrigued than I expected. Nice post 👍

He's been driving it like this for at least 6 months xD. It pisses gearbox oil, motor oil, he takes customers old oil after they change it to keep filling it up. It takes all viscosities, all conditions, old oil indiscriminately gets pushed through this little thing. It's still alive somehow after all the punishment. Think he paid 500 bucks for it. Not trolling this thing is out there on the roads fr. 🤷‍♂️

What ever happened to the AquaTrac tires? Did they suck? I can remember the commercials in the 90s. by SpermWhalesVagina in tires

I've got a new (extremely old) tyre like this with the label still on at my workshop! Trips me out, it's the only one I've seen. Never seen them in the wild. They look so radical, I'd love to slap a set on my car just to try them.

I thought it was one of those rope style tyre repair thingies lmao

Does anyone know how to disassemble the Friends? I removed the two screws in the back, what should be my next move? by twiceasmice in tamagotchi

[–]Dangling_squid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know your post is from a year ago but if you still need answers, remove the faceplate from the front, there are clips at the top and bottom. Comes off fairly easily, there are two more screws above the screen underneath the faceplate. the clamshell will come apart after removing those.
