am i being to anal about valve stems?

Mr.kenchan, you are not being anal, I would love to have metal valve stems too.

Regarding Mr.GaleForce's info about the stems become rusty, depends how long after and what kind of metal does the stems made of...

Mrs.Dr.onzedge pretty much looks like she did before she started?? That is exceptionally good Mr.onzedge.... lots of guys couldn't recognize their wife/gf after the process

BTW I have never seen such an offensive trunk before.

30k service and alignment performed today.

Received my Stoner Tarminator today. It's time to tackle that pesky road paint that's splattered in my fender wells.

thanks, i just need enough lift on the back-end so that i dont mistakenly drill through any harnesses.

ahh, perhaps that's why, thanks for the info. the tire shop was like especially if my car's a hobby car i would absolutely not have issues with either one, but rubber is recommended by most oem's so that's why they use it. they also claim they use the exact same valve stems that the dealers use.

hi mr.alcheng- major LOL

@ civic. hahahaha!!

yah, as for the valve stems the tire shop said they replace each time new tires are mounted so for me that would be about once every 8-10k miles in dry weather only. and my car is garaged most of the time so UV/cracking is not an issue. i suppose it's more cosmetics thing now... i guess i can get some black rays caps and feel better. lol

kenchan · 07-09-2012, 11:28 PM

so here is my knob comparison... PWJDM vs TWM biggie Type-R

i have to say, i luv the biggie type-r..

pattern...

driver side...

passenger side...

the weight is impressive. it's shorter than the pwjdm and gates are even crisper.

can't wait to take her out for a spin.

fitment wise the base it just a hair too small in diameter to cover the factory boot holder ring thingie, so i made a little gasket using hard black felt. it's a factory finish.

since i used flash it emphasizes the felt, but in real life you can't see it.

happytheman · 07-09-2012, 11:32 PM

Holy Crap!

Ken, that looks badass! I wantz!

yah, i guarantee you will absolutely luv this knob especially if you like the type-r design.

this is considerably bigger than the regular TWM type-r i use in my G. but it's not stupid big. it's prefect.

happytheman · 07-09-2012, 11:34 PM

Just thought I'd mention it here: I had metal valve stems to begin with.

What's the weight diff between the PWJDM and the Biggie Type-R?

And if you didn't catch it the first time, that looks sweeeeet!
