why get a tire pressure gauge when you can buy my 10w3 in box and sony 10 disc for $125? ask some of the mad tite drag racers, they are always playing with those things

I just use an old school one with a needle and guage. Bleed valve and all.

Those digi ones seem cool too.

that gauge is really nice, but for $50, you must have way too much money to spend..... snap-on makes a nice one but not liquid filled and its around $30 i think.
i was reading in an issue of grass roots that alot of the racers are using the off the shelf digi ones now. they say its easy to read and very accurate. thats what im getting.

NICE thanks sax
Wait a minute! He's not Sax...

I've tried out a lot of tire gauges. I've decided I'm disappointed with the ones with either (a) the fit-on part at an angle, or (b) the fit-on part on a hose, because the fit-on part never seems to mate JUST RIGHT with the valve stem so there's no air leakage.

So I went and bought this one:



Elegant simplicity, and the reset button works as a bleeder valve. Fifteen bucks at Emmons Coachworks. You can order it off their website here, or you can call them at 1-800-NOW-4WAX (1-800-669-4929) and ask for the Accugage Standard Tire Gauge. Tell them you're in the Integra Type R Club of America and they'll give you 10 percent off.
