Gire Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I really like that. Too bad I recently broke the bank on the Solberg-edition silver ball knob from MachV Motors. But what's a shift knob whore to do? buy more of course! X-Mas present to myself here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewster Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 i like my solberg knob and don't mind it being all aluminum but...i don't think there's enough threads inside for it to screw down low enough to my liking. I have a kartboy SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 did anybody pick one of these up yet, im thinking about it since i dont want to go back to my stock knob but im tired of the momo freezing my hand off If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew.anderson Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Is this thing realy silicon as in soft and breast like as froggert implied? If so, will it really hold up that long? It can't be that durable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 i like my solberg knob and don't mind it being all aluminum but...i don't think there's enough threads inside for it to screw down low enough to my liking. I have a kartboy SS. I took mine off today for the winter. I unscrewed it and the plastic insert stayed in place on the shift rod while I unknowingly unscrewed the aluminum from the insert Actually, this is a godsend....I can fill the void at the top with something heavy....lead maybe, to weiht it?? Also, I can possibly cut the top inch of the insert off, allowing the it to thread further inside the knob thus lowering it on the rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

executor485 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Not bad- I'd like a bigger pic though. He wants a bigger pic of your knob... Thats just not right... I cant believe your all talking about your knobs, and wanting to replace them with silicone. Im quite happy with my knob. Just had to do that... Back on topic. It looks good. You will have to let us know how it works out. If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 got mine in today....yes, on a Sunday. Second time a pkg from AVO was delivered on God's Day of Rest The term 'silicone' is a misnomer....this knob is actually made of Delrin plastic. Nice feel and weight, but the stick-on STi logo makes me think $69 is overpriced. I didn't get the knob as tight as I should before affixing the logo, so I have to carefully pop it off to get it aligned properly now. I still think the STi STS is too tall.....might be time for a Dremel and a thread tap. I ordered a lead melting ladle off eBay and will get some lead shot to melt down. I plan to add some mass inside the UKDM Solberg Edition knob and if that goes well, I will attempt to do the same with this new one as well.

PGT Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 about the same, if not a little lighter. It definitely weighs more than the UKDM Solberg knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Nice... I like it... the Momo knob is too big IMO. The titanium gets absurdly cold in the winter. This now is a possibility. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
