mr.happy- the ones you posted imho would look better on a sedan like a IS350. :)

regardless i like the fact that it's very concave and spoke actually extends past the rim plane for that extra :yum: down side is you need to watch out when you handle these type wheels as they tend to scuff easily when carrying them. i usually masking tape up the spokes on the area that protrudes past the rim before taking them to the tire store to wrap.

also ive heard some alignment shops scuff up such spokes unless they are very careful when they mount their instruments onto the wheel. my weds are the same way. i think they look fantastic on the curvy bodyline of our Z's. :yum:

Mr. Alcheng -- you will still be able to rep while you are on your trip, right?

Mr.kenchan, I fixed it for you... :icon17:

Yes... I thought about that too, the style is simple enough, which is what I like, and it's light, 22lbs.

The spokes do protrude a little, I think I can get away from scratching it with extra cautions...

Won't be right now for the decision cos I am getting the exhaust... but definitely during this Winter when the Z is hibernating...

Mr.onzedge, I will be on a cruise ship for that 10 days... they do have internet via satellite... not 24/7 but at least 50% of the time.... therefore... repman will still be on-duty.. :tup: :tup:

m4a1mustang 07-02-2012 02:13 PM

High Alcohol content too. Know I want a beer!!!!

As for my Z I washed and Clayed today. Ran out of time so tomorrow I am going to apply Adams Quick Sealant.

Mmm. Sounds :yum: I will be on the look out for it. The problem with my small town is the Beer and Liquor store is small, they don't bring in much fancy/odd brands. :shakes head:

I am not being funny here -- relationships are tricky and even the best of them can get bumpy sometimes. Open-ness, honesty, clearly stating needs and expectations -- these all go along way in making the relationship what it should be.

Running over the pots is rally nothing, but if you get worked up about how to approach her with this, then I think you might want to talk with somemone as a couple.

I think you are taking this a bit too seriously..probably my fault for the way I made it sound to add a bit of drama....

Since I am too lazy to go get lemon juice I am just going to omit it from this recipe. I suppose I could use pineapple juice instead, but IDK.

type-r big stainless :yum: :yum: :yum:

If you don't think the Big Type-R is too big for the Z interior, then I'm going with the Desert Eagle black pearl with shift pattern etching. Though I'm gonna have trouble convincing the wife to let me spend $200 (with discount) on a new shift knob right now. Maybe in a few months :icon17:

thanks, happy. :D it took probably no more than 10min to wrap :) total time start to finish was under 45min. :tup:

only needed about 8x6" of wrap, box cutter, heat gun, chisel (to remove the plastic welds on the cup ring on the back, just superglue afterwards), and burnt thumb.. :ugh2:

you can pull up on the cup to remove from car since it's just snapped in.

hahaha, i have the normal TWM typeR in satin in my G right now and it feels great. :tup: the satin finish actually keeps the surface cooler than normal stainless or mirror (hot :eek: finishes).

the big type-r is only considerably bigger, not HUGEGANGOUS looking at the picts, i think. :icon17: i got the standard brushed stainless one for my Z. :p

the PWJDM was fine until i mis-shifted the other week when the rear of my Z spun out about 65degrees requiring a 120 degree counter and i was trying to get into 2nd gear when the knob slipped out of my hand causing me to spill- water-from-the-cup which is a big fail. :ugh2: it was an abrupt recovery from a drift and i did not enjoy it one bit. i blame it on the knob. :stirthepot:
