FREE Delrin Shift Knob - Killer B Motorsport
 
Anyone want a White Delrin Shift knob? We used some spare white delrin to test the program, but production knobs will be black.

White is not as popular as black, but often favored in hot environments (stays cooler), and racing applications (easier to see in peripheral vision).

The marketing bs... Killer B Motorsport delrin knobs are lighter than OEM transmitting more feedback to the driver, while reducing effort. Delrin will also not transmit heat/cold to the driver's hand like a metal knob.

If you have interest in a free knob, post a picture of your new 2022 BRZ and we'll pick a random winner within the next week. Thanks guys!

FREE Delrin Shift Knob - Killer B Motorsport
 
I loved my Tomei Duracon knob, but it won’t fit on my 2022! The marketing BS isn’t even far off, I genuinely enjoy the added feedback from a lighter knob. Actual Delrin is nice too. Coincidentally I used to work summer jobs as a teenager at an extrusion plant that made the stuff.

I’d love to take the white one off your hands, could work as a neat accent too. Looks good in the pic.

Here’s the car in the garage. I was figuring out how much more clearance I wanted to create before it wouldn’t take me 5x as long to park as I normally would.

Well, I’ve already been bitten by the mod bug, so one more can’t hurt.

Would love to replace the 3d printed knob that's in there currently :)

We are already making black ones. We don't typically have much demand for white, so we don't have plans to make more. Although, if there IS more demand, we could run a batch of them

So the knobs offered on the site are compatible with the 2022? Compatibility list doesn’t list 2022.

It's going to be added on our next round of web updates. If you can't wait that long, shoot me a DM :)

Pics when you do.

KillerBMotorsport 03-22-2022 12:02 PM

Until Kona61 gets back to us with a pic, here's another iteration we've got. Can be had with white or black topper.

I’m interested to see the type-R knob for the 2022’s personally.

Because the reverse lockout is so large on the 22+, the knob would have to just be a cylinder. It wouldn't have that classic Type-R shape, unless you oversized the knob entirely... but then it would be out of proportion :(

Hmm, I’m honestly trying to find something that’s like the Tomei SS knob. I find it to be the perfect meld of the type R style and the old Nismo knobs.

I have one from my old car, maybe I need to just get serious about throwing it on someone’s lathe to open the counterbore up ~3-4mm. There’s enough material, but just.

3-4mm isn't enough. You need to double that. With our knobs we had to change the boss size, and bore, specifically for the 22+. There just wasn't enough material there on our current knobs :(

That's disappointing to hear. After looking at your Type R knob and how I handle the shifter in my '22, I think something like the Type R knob or the Grimspeed delrin knob are probably exactly the shape I'd want.

Does the sizing issue on the '22 come from upper lip of the reverse lock out protruding beyond the base of the shift knob in your design?

It's more that the diameter of the reverse lockout is so large.

Can the reverse lockout go on the outside of the knob's base shaft when it is pulled up? Rather than fit inside the ID of it.

The same knob in the OP available in more colours would be neat. I like the white, but would also be interested in red to match the interior seat stitching.

We did this years ago, and it was a flop. Delrin colors are just too dull, kind of industrial colored. Black and white are most accepted, with Black being most popular. We sell white knobs to those that live in the desert and track guys. The track guys say it white is easier to see in their peripheral vision.

There was one done by Cobb I think awhile back in nitrous blue(Focus RS) and overall it looked really good in the pictures. Maybe they could be custom dipped for various patterns and colors? CF would look fantastic.

If you get some polishing compound, mount it in a drill and have a polisher, you can get them to a mirror finish. Will look just like an 8-ball, but you have to be patient. Too much force or too much RPM and it will burn the surface and its trash.
