Shifters and Wheels
 
Hi everyone,

Always considered a different shifter knob and steering wheel than stock. What do ya'll got? Anything cool/interesting?

Be careful what you ask for.

Now I'm curious to see steering wheels at this rate...:naughty:

The posts above are gold. :giggle:

On a more serious note, here is my interior setup.

Unfortunately, the shift boot/knob are cut off but it's a charcoal grey weighted Skunk2 knob (same color as the inner part of the steering wheel) with red H pattern and a black leather boot w/ red stitching from Redline Goods.
If you're interested, I can snap a better picture tomorrow if you'd like.

The wheel is a 350mm Nardi with 80mm dish, I forget what name Nardi gives it. I LOVE this wheel. I'm 6'1 so the 20mm less in diameter vs stock combined with the 80mm offset is great.

All in all, I love my wheel and shift knob/boot combo. I still need to buy some sort of low profile shift boot retainer but I'm lazy.. Anyone have any suggestions?

I imagine a Skunk2 shift knob would come out of the box requiring significant additional machining work, not fit the shifter it's advertised to fit, and then come loose constantly during operation.

They offer the shift knob in the correct thread pitch. M10x1.25? It fit good out of the box and hasn't come loose in the year I've owned it. The H pattern is off by about 15° when tight though. I'm guessing some sort of shift boot retainer would fix that.

Does the skunk2 knob arc the starter or stick the throttle wide open? :giggle:

Apologies for missing the punchline on that one. :noob: I hope you got a decent chuckle out of it. :rofl:
