Looks great! I was planning to order red myself.. think it would look perfect on magnetite grey.
Does it feel cold to touch in the current weather after overnight?

Been playing with mine for about 15 minutes and it's still cold! 🫢

Very happy with the look, not sure I'm going to get out in the car this week though to try it properly.
 
Shame they don't do our 6spd pattern in hyper blue. Could just go for a tall teardrop instead

Edit: Can see you can customise. Doesn't seem to be the options to select though. Do you just put a note when ordering?

Yeah its in there mate, just under GR I think when I looked.
 
Now I'm confused. I blame that it's Monday. Do we need the lock out adapter or not?

Edit: read the thread.

Mine still seems to be in the USPS/Royal Mail aether - how long after it reportedly arrived at Heathrow did you guys receive yours?
 
I suspect mind has been delayed by the Royal Mail cyber attack. Their info page states that international incoming deliveries may be delayed as well as export. Oh well, they say patience is a virtue.

I posted this in my build thread but thought i post here too if you all dun mind.

40mm Delrin. CNC Lathed. Final pass with red ScotchBite. I have the CAD if anyone want to diy. Tried making it as short as i can but its only about <10mm shorter than stock. Shifter shaft is almost at the top of the knob.

A thin nut at the bottom as a jam nut. Had a previous knob on my evo start twisting on track previously, not fun.

Seems everyone wants a 2 inch/50mm knob these days. Can't find one small enough, 40mm would probably do the trick!

Fancy selling one to a forum member by any chance?
 
Lol

I've gone for this

43mm wide, taller than I'd like at 66mm. Cheap and plastic. Downside is its light weight.

I can share the CAD/drawings and you can get your favourite local machining shop to make. Maybe even can 3d print.

For mine, cos i wanted to have the knob as fully spherical as possible and not tear drop or a hemispherical stub (i was once a honda boi and still love the type R knobs), thus i did away with any stem at the bottom. Down side to that is the stock steel shaft and c clip can be seen. Acquired taste probably, but i didnt mind it.

Fair enough mate, my favorite to date is the one from the Integra DC5 actually so that's what I'd like

I've also got a cheapo ebay one. Called something like T1 style gear knob which looked similar totl the DC5s, no idea on dimensions though.
