Well I remember seeing this shift knob almost a year ago and never gave it anymore thought. As you can see, this thing is overwhelmingly tall for a shifter knob. Before investing in this I decided to pickup a 3" titanium shifter knob extension to how I would like the height and I have been testing it for the last couple of days. Let me say, apart from the looks of having a tall shifter knob, the actual shifting now feels amazing! The extra leverage and the height add to easy shifting, great height level for comfort and faster shifts. I wasn't very optimistic at first, but I've seen and read about the advantages of having this and decided to test this for myself.

Like I said the titanium extender is around 3" in height which felt really good, the Billy Club Racing shifter knob is almost double that in height, is a direct thread on and made from Delrin

It's on order and will post my findings when it arrives...

There's also a Billet version available, if you desire a polished look, but it's double the money. See Link...

Officially garaged mine today

It was a good run though, got lots of mods done and out of the way. Let the mod collection begin for next year

Yeah, I get a feeling there'll be some interior rattles this winter. Saw another BRZ with the winters on today so I'm not the only driving year round

Since I opted to go back to stock intake and drop-in filter, decided to replace the inlet tube with this beauty...

I'm still driving mine too! Although they are calling for snow on Sunday so I'll most likely have it parked and tucked away this weekend

I really like the SARD carbin intake tube but it is expensive
