Anil, what in tarnation?

How about these...I like this brand a LOT. NRG.
really love these, but would want to confirm they are long as fk and deep enough to accomodate.

Also, looking into their weighted carbon fiber shift knob...probably for my birthday.

^^^ guess we live in different "alleys"

I like the 400 and the 800 series in NRG....PS: I like that brand as well...

i'm so confused anil.

i've heard good stuff on NRG i think. at $40 i think its worth the shot. but i'm not ebay nor lug nut efficient

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

LOL....i thought you guys were the smart ones....

that is a key for a hotel room....and you guys were going back and forth so "get a room" ???

veggiemonster

iTrader: (1)

oh.


you jelly of our little e-bromance?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^

no Sir....you guys carry on

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

HE'S A LIAR...
He clearly paid for the room cause he wants in on this action. I guess that's the beauty of a bromance, due to our anatomy, there is always an extra hole for anyone that joins the party.

Bah...even in jest (not ingest!), that is not my cup o tea.

PS...no, on the NRG site, they are $100 for those...I lOVE thos 11 sided ones, they look so cool! If the blue is on the money AND they are much deeper to give me clearance, I'll probably go that route.

iTrader: (5)

^^^

nah bro....didnt miss it....laffed my ass off LOL....

am really digging the series 700 of the nrg....closed/open lug nuts....so you can have em closed on days and open the others

EDIT: 700 series...

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

You are right, BUT...the blue doesn't look right AND they are not locks also...I'm not sure how I feel about em PLUS, they are $150 for 20 of them!

Great idea though...but I still like the style I love...
what you think about the 480 gram 900BC shift knobs?!?! Carbon fiber...

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ yeah go ahead salt my wounds

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

why? you're auto too?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

my ECU shifts quicker than you can

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, that sounds like a lot more fun.
And if you are admitting to them being wounds, you already preemptively told me you're jealous!

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

yeah i am jelly coz i aint shifting LOL

and am peanut butter coz my car shifts quicker than yours LOL

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Sorry man, you'll never make me jelly with that argument...faster or not, to me, it's about enjoying the car and I don't enjoy driving unless I'm the one shifting.

Always been the case...

Ok, maybe in traffic I'm a LITTLE jelly

veggiemonster

iTrader: (1)

BWAHAHAHAH. yeah right.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Sean, don't ruin it for him! I let him think he has the edge!
LOL...

What's up Anil...where you at?

DevtypeS

Really nice drop man what is your car drop on

iTrader: (6)

Thanks Dev...Tein SS...about 1/2" from bottom perch to the lower part of the tube (like they tell you to measure).

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

no seriously....the ECU shifts quick like a bishhhh LOL....I do miss shifting thow considering the fact that I learned how to drive on a stick....

my left foot misses the feeling of being used...but the original plan was to move back to NY and hence I got an Auto....but either way am happy with the purchase....this being my first car i do/try everything on her....

i riced her out (underbody led kit - removed )
i mod her
i baby her
i make mistakes on her....

i mean i love this car.....the way she is.....

hahaha am here J....

Those NRG lugs look nice, but I can't say they're as pretty as the Work lugs. The NRG shift knobs look pretty nice, but it looks like they're all for 5MT or 6MT vehicles.

veggiemonster

iTrader: (1)

sponsor me on a LWFW and twin disc/6puck and i'll show you how to fast shift LOL

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ LOL

you can get the LWFW and twin disc but the computer will still shift quicker, I promise you....

dont become like that member 'disgustedAP1' who said he could shift quicker than the computer and got flamed

veggiemonster

iTrader: (1)

i know i know. it's completely different. i'd rather the few tenths to keep >5% better drivetrain eff. the auto tl's do sound sick though. sound more like a dsg than anything

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ now you make a solid point....i would rather do that to....lets see, down the line i might get a higher stall converter and change some line/spring pressure.....reduce those drivetrain losses....

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I know dude, was just rubbing in the 6MT, I know for a fact that there are a bunch of people trying to do the conversion for a reason. But seriously...the driving in traffic, I'd rather have an auto sometimes.

Thanks John...only thing is that the NRG lugs and the ebay ones I saw are 50MM deep...so open or closed, they would work on my extended studs without issue. I love that 12 point too...looks cool. The Works are only 34MM or so...and you already know the headache I just had with them last week.

About the shift knob...yeah, I'm 6speed. I called last night and really want the 480 gram/1.1 lb one...but that 900BC one that is taller, they only have available in a 240 gram one now in 6 speed. Was thinking of getting it with the 6 speed on top, but kinda like that NRG emblem in blue and black on it. ...I'm wondering if that will feel heavy enough. Maybe a 1 pound one is TOO heavy?

I was also looking at this moshimoto one...but I don't think I'll like having to hold the shifter vertically, since our cup holders are right in the way.

You guys are too much with the shifting faster than the computer...that's why I didn't even get into that comparison...plus, it's not good for the drivetrain to bang thru the gears like you have to to shift super quick.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

So, thanks to the push from y'all and especially John (ebelp)...made a swap.
I'll let you guys figure out what it is...I have to admit, although I said I'd never spend the money on it, after having the WTech ones, I really did love the look. Couldn't be happier. WTechs are on ebay for sale now.

^^^ and they are painted

looks 10x better

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

What you mean painted, playa??!?!?
They are just smoked, dark, but smoked...match the NBP pretty well, huh!?!?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ the visors are painted....

they come stock as smoked, but this seems like they are painted NBP....

LOL looks good man. I remember reading this thread a while and you were basically saying you'll never get the OEM ones and only got the weather tecs because they were cheap. I was like, yea right I can bet you'll go oem and look what happened That's the power of ACURAZINE for ya

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ hahaha

Jer, you did the right thing by getting OEM ones

Shoeface

Agreed! I have mine in a box waiting to get installed OEM just looks a lot better than WTech.

BTW - was the install straight forward per the manual? I was going to follow this:
