Show me your knobs

I will add that the acuity collar is the wrong diameter for the factory boot. It's too narrow which leads to some pinching of the boot. They should have made it a 1/4" wider, but c'est la vie!

The ti acuity collar lowered the knob by a bit so that the taller knob is sitting near factory ti knob height now. I no longer think the throws need to be shorter. Throws are perfect now. I do wish the gates were a bit wider from factory, but eh what can you do, ?‍. Feels great and I much prefer the circular design. It also seems to fit the character of the car well since it's a slower transmission and needs more finesse that the larger/heavier knob affords.

Glad to hear that I'm not crazy in thinking the shifter mechanism could use little more weight.

I mean, I could still be crazy, but at least I'm not alone!

That looks good. I just prefer the OE look. I have ceramic tint all around including windshield. Plus my windshield visor for the heat so shouldn't be too bad... it sucks in the cold though for a few minutes lol

Scooped one of these to help with hot and cold days. I also prefer the OE look.

You are correct. The diameter of the collar is a smidge narrower. I have that part toward the front of the shifter so no one can see it.

I didn't think about it until after it was together, but that's also the direction I planned to go. Maybe bunch it in two areas along the sides near the stitching to make it less obvious.

I do like the collar though! It fits in well with the knob and I like the smallness of it. Silly stupid to spend so much for it to be burnt ti, but eh "it's the little things".

Yes it is!!

Installed the mugen alcantara. It feels nice, a tad lighter than oem. It does make the shifting feel less buttery smooth, the 1-2 shift feels a bit more rough. Not sure if I love it yet, but looks damn good.

Mugen Ball has been great, think I might pick up another Mugen next time I'm in Japan.

Anyone have the hybrid racing boot collar and know if the diameter is larger than the Acuity one? Looking at grabbing either one in stainless but will go hybrid to avoid the boot having to be bunched up at all

I have both actually. And I prefer the hybrid as it’s slightly larger and came with a nice rubber band as opposed to having a zip tie.

I was wondering what that rubber bit was on it; online, it almost looked like it wasn’t made for our shifter or something. That’s great to hear and makes getting under the shifter easier down the line not having to replace that zip tie. Thanks for that insight ?

Billetworkz Titanium (Torched) Weighted Shift Knob - 275g (FOR SALE $190)

 

[wontondon]

Installed a nsx zanardi replica knob - was gonna get this custom designed until Instagram told me someone in Australia already did this out of titanium.

Combined with acuity stage 2 upgrades this makes shifting a dream. Currently awaiting the arrival of the full acuity shifter assembly.

Right I haven't posted this pic in this thread yet. Lathewerks OEM+ Titanium. Pardon the filth, it's clean now but this is the picture I have lol.

 

[SeanIsElsewhere]

Anyone have a recommendation for a lower-profile knob than the OEM? Preferably slightly heavier would be ideal. Idk if the Hybrid racing chicane or acuity poco are heavier but I think they’re lower.
