axis008 Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Like Mines, I just received my shift knob. I've always wanted a shift knob just for the hell of it. I don't even have a manual car... yet. It makes a good paper weight though . At first I ordered the Sparco Racing (sphere type) shift knob, but CarDomain.com took too long to ship it so I cancelled it and got this one instead from Neuspeed.com for $58 including tax (free shipping from Neuspeed). The weight seems pretty heavy. I don't have a scale that measures that little weight, so I can't tell how heavy it is. I haven't really played around with a shift knob by itself before, so I also can't give any impressions. But I really like the way it looks. It fits my hand pretty well too. Oil from my hands does get onto the knob but not as much as you think it would. The only thing that I don't like about it, but could get used to is the logo placement. When I ordered it, the logo was only etched into the ring under the knob (how it was supposed to look). But when I received the knob, the logo wasn't on the ring and was on top of the knob itself. Not a big deal though. Oh well, here are some pictures! -ben
Th3Franz Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 *bling* that metal would burn my hand in the summer and freeze it in the winter, though. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz

SC GT Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Looks nice, but I prefer the ALURAC, with a brushed/satin finish, for the Legacy interior:
axis008 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Posted June 28, 2004 I like the look of that too, except for the little decal on the top. I ordered the knob expecting the whole sphere part would be void of all markings, but I guess I can live with the little Momo on top :). -ben
Weasel Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 I took of this MOMO knob off an 04 Acura TL in preparation for my new GT sedan. Hey Axis008 that silver knob looks good. I used to have one and kept a towel over it during the summer to keep it cool otherwise...ouch.

I want to see how the adapter looks when on the knob is on, because the Momo one's (not the Subaru OEM one) connect differently. -ben
agctr Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 BLING BLING, looks very tasty, but love the look of the new WR shifter the most with the Type R look, unpolished Titanium..
Rimfaxe Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Glad to see that you were wearing clothes when you snapped the pics of that shift knob! It reminds me of the chrome teapot posted on ebay a long time ago. In the photo you could clearly see the reflection of a naked dude with a camera!

So gross! -ben
Ninjapimp Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Reminds me of an IS300 shift knob. (As has been said) That was always my concern too, the 'burning summer hand' reaction.
