Bronze and pretty weighty shift knobs
Got something pretty exclusive here and a very nice addition to your car. First of all, if you haven't used a weighted shift knob before then you really are missing out. They make shifting so much easier you wouldn't believe. And the heavier you can get the better. Now if you're a complete baller you could get some of the tungsten ones for sale that weigh about 1.2kg but those cost around $500!
Much better would be a 54mm bronze shift knob. These look the part and weigh in at 650-670g each; more than enough for some solid shifts. And these are not your factory-manufactured ones with plastic inserts - they are hand-made by my machinist guy and are 100% brass. Take a look: http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v...ave/file-2.jpg Here is a pic of the guy making them so you can see they're not just some Chinese-produces rubbish(and with a nice Rammstein soundtrack). Could also make longer shift knobs like this: http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v...ave/file-3.jpg Or even some Nismo-style ones if you liked (they're a little lighter and a little more expensive as they're tougher to make, but look cool): http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v...ave/file-4.jpg Once I'm back in an Evo I'll be grabbing one of these for sure. Let me know if anyone's interested. Price would be $110 for one or $190 for 2 of the ball-shaped knobs (both prices include worldwide shipping, of course). And you'd be getting someone that nobody else has in their car, and a little piece of Okinawa in your motoring! |
