My latest Transformers mod...

What do you guys think about my Transformers mod? It adds like 20rwhp and when the Allspark is engaged, the car can fly...

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

since I didn't see that movie yet, I think the steering wheel looks cool, but I'd like to see the slip proving the 20rwhp gain.

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

I would drive the 2nd gen too, but I'd have to paint it and change the radio to one where it would go through the songs on my ipod rather than whatever was conviently played on the radio.

How did you get those nice pedals on your car? I would change mine but i dont think they come off, as in bolt off.

Probably pad covers, you can get them at most Parts stores.
Could be wrong though.

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

I know its kinda nerdy, but I don't really care, I own an F-body...(not some honda) so I think I'll be ok... but I remember watching Transformers when I was a kid, and then the movie came out...

xChAoSx, yeah those are just pedal covers. Originally I saw them on Ebay, but then I went to PepBoys for the first time and thats when I actually purchased them...they been on there for a year or so and they've lasted pretty well....

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

yeah, the screws are there to hold the black trim ring where the buttons pops into. I had the "big button" horn that came with the wheel but I found it to be a pretty horrible design and not reliable at all (sucks having the horn go off in the middle of traffic) so I bought a better horn button and made it fit. I think I just had a regular "Grant GT" horn button and then I saw Transformers and I knew someone on ebay would make an Autobots button...

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

oh buddy. after seeing that steering wheel. im going to go get one for my camaro
i had the exact same steering wheel on my last car. i sold it tho
i liked that steering wheel. it felt great and it looks good to.
and yes the horn button was crap. took awhile to get it so it fit.

time to get me a transformers steering wheel!! i cant totally see someone putting the Autobots symbol on the rear window of a camaro or a TA.
or on the hood of a TA insted of the pontiac bird logo thing.

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

hm , ah ok. I see what you're talking about. But its still not a gap. There is the emblem, then there is the clear covering over it... The only way I can explain it is as "bubble-like" its the same height over all, but it rounds down toward the edges...I think its a reflection of that... Its pretty well built for an ebay item...

Re: My latest Transformers mod...

i bought my firebird then the movie came out about a year later but my hood looks just like the one from the movie with a rivet on fiberglass cowl after that i told my friends that they couldn't make fun of me for it. (i have had more important things to fix in the last year like a rotted floor so the hood is still the same)
