ilya124 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I was looking around online for a replacement for my stock shift knob and found this. Looks cheap and is made out of delrin. 1) would it fit on the legacy and 2) is it even worth it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-5-SPEED-DRIFT-DELRIN-BLACK-SHIFT-KNOB-JDM-12X1-25MM-THREAD-/260851868445?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cbbfba31d&vxp=mtr&_uhb=1#ht_1016wt_1064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilya124 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Lol I was looking at the Cobb which I really want, but I can't spend 70 bucks right now. This seems, idk, good enough? Or maybe I should just keep the stock one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyroo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That killer b is actually pretty hot. I have a kartboy knob and like it, but I kinda want something more comfortable for a top shift not a side shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXR4T Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Is it delrin? I think it is just brushed metal. I may have not read it correctly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It's a trailer hitch ball. 2-5/16" to be exact. Weighs 1.75lb. I made another one, but it's got some scratches. I'd sell it if anyone were interested.

ilya124 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Lmao that's awesome dude. But it's probably not too comfortable in the heat/cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I parked the car for 5 or 6 hours in the Texas sun, and it was hot but not burning. It's got a lot of mass, so it takes a long time to heat up.

ilya124 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Stock vs Killer B on a Kartboy STS looks like there is some height difference, which is good. I also want to order a Kartboy STS but I'm not confident about installing it, which is the only thing putting me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
