Alchemy · 07-09-2012, 08:38 PM

^ lol, alcheng!!! Yeah, thats the equivalent of the gal that has so much makeup on that when she wakes up in your bed the next day she leaves half of her face on your nice white pillows

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.

Yup, that's what I ordered! Just waiting for it to get here. Should be any day now!

kenchan · 07-09-2012, 10:28 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, 10:32 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.

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!

i think it's about 200g heavier. it's a weight difference you can feel. thanks, yah, the knob looks and feels great.

That knob looks great Ken

I still love my PWJDM knob though. The texture on the knob that matches the other knobs in the car really pulls things together, IMO. Although, Im sure I will switch it out sooner or later. A shift knob is a cheap mod that not only looks good but feels good

I was actually trying to decide on what TWM knob I wanted for quite awhile before the PWJDM knob came out. If I ever go w a short shifter it'll prob be the TWM. Prob pick a knob up at the same time, but thats down the road.

thanks, mr.alchemy. yah, the pwjdm knob is great for the price, i think. i forget how much i paid for the pwjdm (70?), but i think the biggie type-r is atleast 2x the price....so it better be good.

the only issue i had with the pwjdm knob is the round spherical top. it tends to slip out of my hand when going 2nd gear especially when i need to make very quick gear changes like in the middle of a spin out. i never had that kind of issue on the twm type-r knob on my G. if the pwjdm was considerably larger i think the sphere would be a non-issue since i had no issue shifting a ball knob by momo back in my MINI days.
