U should've bought a CL-S 6 Jatt

 

but Ban Martin is taking too long. :rippedoff

 

whats the point of introducing a shift knob for Acura's if not all type's are going to be addessed ? The first gen'ers will have the highest market no doubt !!!

 

it'll fit first gen 5spds

 

Dan, shoot us an update when you get the chance. Anyway it'll be a good holiday gift from me to me. lol

 

I've seen one of the shift knobs in person and it is of great quality! I know they haven't been made in mass yet, but I'm sure people will definitely be pleased with them once the knobs are ready for sale. I hope they're ready for Christmas time too.

 

Nice! Sign me up for 1 with type-s engraved on top. Is it hard to flatten the top so the engraving fits better?

03 type-s automatic

 

well, how about the prelude ? as most of us have prelude shifters

 

Dan, I hope your new job is going well -- I know how stressful it can be to switch jobs at the drop of a hat, so to speak. That being said, I absolutely must have one of these shift knobs. I hate the stock TSX knob. I hate the color. I hate the weighting. I hate the shape.

I'm psyched to get one, any update on production timing?

 

 

So in your opinion no one should make aftermarket Acura parts unless they fit all Acuras?

 

That's pretty dumb logic.

 

Thanks for your ongoing support guys. Nobody wants these knobs to come to market more than me. I've got a ton of members that have PM'd me and I'll be sure to let everyone up to date when I have some new information.

So far the new job has been fairly stressful (both physically and mentally) but it's going pretty well. For those keeping score, my total dose so far is 106 mrem whole body and 800 mrem on the extremities.

 

I just went back a few pages -- looks pretty good! It's bigger than stock TSX, right? I'd like a shifter with a lot more to it.... Someone mentioned a Prelude knob above? I like that odd shape used on the Prelude SH. I hated the square brick on the base Prelude.

 

Aww... Man......

That is a beautiful thing.

 

How many of these can you produce in a day? I'd assume there would be quite a waiting list for these shiftknobs.

 

Although there are a lot of inquiries, I will have enough for everyone who PM'd me in the first batch.

 

I Pmed you about getting in for one and got no response...any word on when they would be available for others...?

 

As long as you don't forget the folks who asked to be put on the list since May.

 

Strange, I just searched through the 395 messages in my inbox and didn't see yours. I'm not sure what happened, but I try to reply to everyone.

Now that I'm back in town, I can focus on the shift knobs again. I'm just waiting for material pricing and availability since it's been a few months since I last had quotes. I'll have more updates for everyone throughout the week.

 

No worries there.

 

Thanks Dan, looking forward to them babies ...... are you back in town for good or just a temp thing? I know the "job" had you away for several months.

 

I'm back for good.

 

Welcome back fallout boy!

 

and the knobs? are they here for good, too? lol

 

Thanksgivcing is tomorrow so I'm guessing these won't be out before the end of the day...?

No biggie, happy thanksgiving people

 

no no no, all types , meaning typs of the Acura family being the cl only 1st and 2nd cause we have mani trans

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess these knobs wont be available for Christmas?

 

so these knobs will now glow in the dark ?

 

I think you're right. Dan's been trying to get shop time but having a hard time. Bummer, I'm ready to get mine as soon as he's got them in production!

 

Yeah, how we doin' on these Dan?

 

Hows the AT knob going DAN....got pix yet? We're still patiently waiting...2005 TSX

 

yeah dan, long time no post, wats been up? I posted a few weeks ago and haven't heard from ya, everything good?

 

 

There's a spy among us!

and @ "dust not included". I know my car is a disgrace.



As for an update on the knob situation, the machine shop that I was dealing with is way too busy working on high-paying jobs to be interested in helping with this little project, so I'm calling on some of my past contacts in the industry to help me out. We will be coming into the slow season here for the machining industry soon, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone will have some available capacity on their lathes in a bit.
