i think w/o this forum, most of us would be around $500-$10,000 richer. hahaha

 

You're never done. Its these stupid little things which make us fall in love again lol

I'm a wee bit envious of this MT stick

 

Only about 700 ish for me. But I'm not done.

 

that's it?? haha you're just getting staaarted!
about $3400 for me, and that's still a lot less than some of the ballers here

 

I spent 5G's+ between Sept-Oct last year alone!

 

Im right there with you Ray. No telling what Im going to spend on the NSX when I get it

cant wait for this shift knob. Im going to remove the paint as well.

Great job ACTROS!!

 

what's worse is you make me want one too and now I got it. Now you are just part of the same problem!

...thanks for letting me know! Now I found how to install it so off I go...

 

I got the red paint off with MEK. worked like a charm

I love this shift knob. Man I cant believe I didnt do this sooner

 

I've installed it, removed the red paint too. Thank you for the tips!

When I screw down tight on the knob the numbering is not pointing in the right direction. I have to back it off about 1/4 turn to have it facing correctly. I'm thinking I'll need a washer to get it to line up correctly

Did any of you have that issue?

 

I ordered mine from ebay on the 10th, shipped on the 18th..... and I still don't have it yet. Takes a while (too long) to get things up to this country!

 

Mark you have to use the jam nut. then what I did was just force the boot up onto it. seems to hold pretty well.

 

I figured that out with the jam nut so I'm good there, thanks! Still will need to work onthe alignment and maybe go get a washer or 2 to fix that. I drove it today, very nice feel to the knob.

 

Bro... I thought I saw your car the other day driving around, but then I saw another black one and when I turned around, I saw another black one... and then, across the street there was another black one... and then my wife tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out another black one.... but then when I turned BACK around, there was another black one....

I finally said fuck it and walked back to my car... I knew which one was mine simply because it DIDNT LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER FUCKING TL ON THE ROAD....

 

the jam nut is what gets you the alignment. Turn the knob down till its almost completely down. Then get it where you want it and tighten the jam nut against it.

 

Hey ACTROS, the nut that comes with the shift knob... do you tighten it down with the narrow end up or down?
I'm having a hard time getting the boot on.

 

^Narrow side of the nut facing up...

 

what did you guys do with teh stock shift knob? for sale?
if so please pm

 

That MOMO shift knob looks really pimp.

 

Darn you guys I ordered mine last month along with a C/T SS and I still haven't gotten an exact leadtime yet!

Mr Healtoe where are you?

 

i agree with u there..when i bought my wdp..i never thought of modding it..until i became a regular here..

 

I see crumbs on the floor.

 

I picked one up on ebay a few weeks ago and love it with the CT short shift kit. No need for the nut as mine line up perfecr. You can also use a little duct tape around the shaft and pull the boot up so it fits tight against the knob

 

Where can I get a stock shift boot? My leather one is fakacked.

 

Is this the Skunk2 Billet Shift Knob or the 10th Anniversary Edition? Or is the only diff. the logo? I ask because it looks like there different colors here, http://heeltoeauto.com/Honda-Acura-10x1.5-c-1524.html might just be the pics. (there at the bottom)

 

I think it's just the pics. I have the non-10th anniv knob and it's the color of the anniv knob on heeltoe's site.

 

Thats what I thought. Thanks

 

I actually took the paint off of mine. But it is the regular knob not the 10th anniversary one. Its the billet shift knob, matches perfectly.

yeah blihn I was waiting for someone to point that out......car was a mess inside..

 

I am really curious how you used that collar with the stock boot? Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!
j

 

I just bought one of these MOMO Shift knobs and finishing collars... anyone know how to use it? It isn't obvious how to attach the boot to the coupler!

Anyone?

 

This is next on my list

 

What is MEK and how does it work?

 

MEK is methyl ethyl ketone. just rub that bitch on there and the red paint will come off without damaging your knob.
