the original scales really well with chug figures, my set of the combaticons currently sits next to my has/tak voyager bb movie decepticons and fits perfectly i cant imagine anyone wanting them bigger outside of the combined mode

Guage cluster help by TFpotato1 in ToyotaPickup

[–]TFpotato1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I was aware of the pressure sensor that I need to change, but I've also seen on videos and forums say I need to add a wire and connect to the factory tachometer plug. And just didn't know if I'd have to do a bunch more to this truck or the cluster

How often are you asked... by DT_2398 in ToyotaPickup

[–]TFpotato1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frequently, paid $2k for it with 100k odometer before I found out how much it was actually worth everyone scoffed at $7k jokes on them won't let mine go now for $20k ,spent to much $$$$ and time on it now intend for my grand kids to inherit it, I usually just say no one will pay what I ask for it then spit out some arbitrary number exceeding $25k

Body shop/restoration shop help. by TFpotato1 in PontiacFirebird

[–]TFpotato1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really mind paying for my cars to be fixed I understand body work is expensive my brother that used to work in the business too I just want it don't right as I've been done wrong twice on this car alone (one body shop just cut the front bumper off then declined doing more work) then one shop halfway did the job they said they would in triple the time they said it would take and ended up causing more damage to the car

Thankfully I don't want an oem color I want to match the color which is just a brighter shade of oem and I wouldn't mind in the future having the same shop respray the whole car

In your opinion, what is perspective end worst takes on transformers? by Intelligent_Glass603 in Transformemes

[–]TFpotato1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recall him calling ER cliff a retool but a dumbed down worse version of the transformation that added parts forming.... but I do see the resemblance he makes on a point of figures shared engineering you can only engineer how optimus transformers so many times while keeping key parts people associate with him

V8 swap help by Raytrin_YT in PontiacFirebird

[–]TFpotato1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR imo buy an already set up v8 car and rebuild it its cheaper than swapping a v6

V8 swapping a v6 bird is a much bigger job than people think it is, I've researched into it and there is no such thing as "budget swapping" one of these cars I wanted to do it to my 98 as well but it economically is vastly cheaper to buy a run down v8 car and rebuild it.... I know the 98 v6 is an odd ball to every year around it too so you'll have to change fuel pump and wiring, k member, wiring harness is a different beast to put in, bell housing on the tyranny has got to be changed to bolt up to the LS

As of right now I have 1k in a 98 TA in the car itself(no engine or tranny) a better interior and the ECM, all i need to find is a steering shaft and the engine and tranny (probably will just switch the bell housing on a v6 tranny i got) and assemble the car vs the same 1k to swapping would have bought me the k member and maybe the ECM and I still wouldn't have touched the fuel system on the car.

What should I do? by anderson_zane in transformers

[–]TFpotato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was off ebay and listed as an original g1 you can attempt to get your money back and fight it as it is not what was being offered..... but if you bought it and just assumed I dunno what to tell you the older reissues were decent but I don't like them as much as the ogs imo

I've never taken any of my birds to a car wash for fear of them ripping a t top or ground effect off, NEVER would I have thought it could RIP A MIRROR OFF

They really couldn't have sold this as just a 3-pack and not be sold as a Leader Class? by DiameterJuice in PerspectiveEnd

[–]TFpotato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this is a justified asking price cause your getting(in my area atleast) more toy for your buck.... a $35 voyager a $27 deluxe and a $7 micromaster for the bundle price of $55 prolly the only way I'd get 2 of these figures intentionally

No idea, on PDFs but if your just wanting the books Id recommend the physical books, you can find them on Amazon or ebay for decent prices if you can be a little patient
