Shift Knob Showoff

[tsi1991awd]

Where did you get those carbon console pieces?????

You can wrap them yourself. The actual console portion I bought off of a guy who makes quite a few 1g parts on ebay. The lid I did myself, but he also sells those. The lid is just a shell I slip over the actual lid. The console is a whole console. The shift boot is 100% real carbon fiber as well....obviously just the fabric.

but the cool one is in my wife's t/a. got it for her bday, since that is what she requested.

made by cv products. all aluminum, and hollow. had to tap and drill the bottom, to get it to the correct thread size.

 

[NightRiderSRT4]

that's unique. I have never seen one like that

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Im not too familiar laying carbon or i would try it.

Look it up online. There are tons of very good reviews and how to video's. Its actually very easy for small flat parts.

I use the greddy knob. Although I bought mine a 8 years ago or so and spent alot more money on it. I think $140. And the packaging labeled mine as greddy superheavy weight shift knob. It threads right on and is shockingly heavy. It weighs 2.5 pounds. It's black chrome with replaceable greddy logo insert on top. My 2G is setup with b&m short throw shifter, black leather shift boot, symborski bushings and machv underhood cartridge bearings.

man that skateboard wheel shift knob is awesome! i (used to...) skate, and i love it.

I use the greddy knob........ It weighs 2.5 pounds.

Why would you need a shift knob that weighs 2.5 pounds? That's insane. The weighted 2g knob is already heavy as hell....I couldn't imagine throwing a 2.5 pound knob around.

Yea man i had to do the wheel, it just seemed too right.

I didn't know it weighed that much when I bought it. I bought it because to my way of thinking it's about the perfect shape and size for a shift knob and it threaded on instead of using goofy wimpy Allen head screws. Anyways I love it. It is confidence inspiring. it's a quality part. Besides I always get a kick out of peoples reaction when they feel how heavy it is. It's gotta be filled with lead or something because it wouldn't be as heavy as it is even if it was cast iron

Shape, size and feel are all that's important really. I just can't see throwing 2.5 pounds around in such a small area

 

[bmoha2]

Shape, size and feel are all that are important. This thing kicks ass and it's not big. Hardly bigger than a golf ball so you never notice that weight. I do notice gho that I hardly ever miss gears.

 

[EvoRage]

I love the stock one, it has a great feel and it's got a pretty solid weight. I like mine so much that I tried to switch to a newer one and it felt wrong so I threw the old one back on. You can tell it's been through a lot because the outer layer is coming off but it still gets those gears where they need to go.

I wasn't a big fan of it's shape. I actually bought and returned 5 other knobs before I got the greddy and to my taste it's perfect.

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

I'm running the same one too, but I don't really like it. I want a Momo or Sparco
