Looks awesome.

I cant find one for our car on their site though. Where did you get yours?

I got mine from RHD Japan, the one I have is M12×1.25 stepped. It's on the ARC website, just keep in mind there will be a small gap beneath it in the 86

Installed my Raceseng 86er knob today. If I had a dollar for all the times I threaded it on and off trying to get it positioned correctly, I could have retired a year earlier. But the knob is fantastic, I love the look in my Firestorm FR-S. It is a little cold in cold weather but once it warms up, the feel is great. Shifts are nice as I can feel every gate.

BTW, Jarrett / Raceseng is wonderful to deal with - you can't go wrong ordering anything from them. Great products and service.

amjadh · 11-15-2013, 05:30 PM

does a heavier or lighter shift knob make it shift smoother?

hellyvin · 11-15-2013, 09:42 PM

heavy

WC Lathe Werks 2.1" white copolymer custom shift knob with 2 small rings around the bottom. Will soon be complimented with a Beatrush red reverse lockout lever. Go Huskers!

Just got this from WC Lathe Werks (hybrid piston/gunmetal/knurled/custom engraving):

Looks amazing and service was unfathomably fast. Haven't driven around with it yet but feel in the hand is niceeeee. Different shape than stock so it might take a little getting used to.

that is quite possibly one of the best looking ones ive seen so far. how much did that cost with the colored engraving and whatnot?

Thanks! Pricey, but worth the moneys. Hybrid piston $135, knurled surface $10, custom engraving $40 (shift pattern is already $30, so only $10 extra for the custom), $30 burnt gunmetal finish on the stainless bottom part.

So $215 total shipped. I guess the gunmetal finish on the stainless section isn't really "necessary", since that section is small and the copolymer is on the top...but it does look great. I didn't want to cheap out at that point...but for bringing down the cost a bit I'm sure the included "brushed" finish would have been really nice. I removed all the silvery plastic pieces from my interior...if I still had those I probably would have gone for the (included) brushed finish.

The fit is great with no gap or fitment issues with our reverse lockout. I haven't had much experience using the knob yet but I can tell already it will be awesome for not getting hot/cold, and it still has nice weight because of the steel bottom.

When I placed my order I didn't see where I was supposed to put the engraving that I wanted so I placed the order and emailed him with the order # in the message block and he got back to me within a couple of hours with an acknowledgement.
Also in an email you can place an attachment.

Jus sayin
