Ian Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Tomei one is nice & very reasonably priced too Quote
GMballistic Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) From memory it cost me £120 Edit: Just to clarify that's a pretty expensive gear knob. Very nice though. Edited November 2, 2014 by GMballistic 3 Quote

ChrisB Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 It's gross, but I must have watched that video 30 times in a row Quote

newkid Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 These are pants down prices imo. Im looking at a max of say £50 Quote
Del Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Hi newkid. Try this guy out.http://www.lathewerks.com/shop/. Quality and finish is excellent. Just got mine a couple of days ago and need to fit it. Got the piston knob finished in gunmetal made to order and took around 2 weeks all in with delivery from US. Lots of other options available as well. Total cost with shipping was £105. I will try and get some pics up. 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 These are pants down prices imo. Im looking at a max of say £50 I agree, ...far too much for a gear knob imo. Each to their own though. Any of the gear knobs on here take your fancy? Link: http://www.epracing.co.uk/Interior-Accessories/Gear-Knobs/c-1-1020-737/ Lot's of choice here as well from Demon Tweeks in your price range: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/gear-knobs I had one of these carbon fibre gear knobs before in an old Impreza I had. Bargain imo. Link: http://www.carbongoodies.co.uk/Varis-Universal-Carbon-Fibre-Gearknob Quote

So far though the tomei is winning. These are pants down prices imo. Im looking at a max of say £50 I agree, ...far too much for a gear knob imo. Each to their own though.

Netnomad Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I have the EPR one and it's a nice knob 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 ^^ Looks good Netnomad. Carbon goodies looks good and I do like the epracing ones, also found these guys http://www.mtech-eng...#!contact/c24vq they look like they could whip up something good. So far though the tomei is winning. Cool, ..glad it was of some use then. M-Tech one's look ok I guess depending on what design you go with. Quote
blaqkaudio Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 EPR here as well Rather than let the gaitor sit loose and look unfinished chuck on a £1.00 washing machine grommet (drill a hole in it) for a much smarter finish Not the best quality pic 2 Quote
Lacky Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Tomei knob from Tarmac!! Same size and style as nismo ones. And for around £30 if I remember correctly. Great size knob and good feeling too. 1 Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Sold my genuine Nismo one for £20 to a member. Still got my Nismo Ti one in the car, bought off another member for £60. Look hard enough and you will find what you want 1 Quote
newkid Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 That tomei does look lovely. The epr is very nice to, any idea how much they weigh ? Quote

unreal Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Anyone know of suppliers of oem knobs? Zmanalex no longer has them. Thanks. Quote
unreal Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Let me see what I can do Thanks mate - it's for a black, manual, 05 (pre-facelift) roadster, in case any of that matters! Quote
