TRD Shift Knob

[FRSPirate]

I found that in my hand, the sphere size of the TRD was a little small and i wanted more weight so i designed and had Chris @ LW make me this:


I increased the height .5", sphere size up to 2" and had it made out of aluminum. I love the feel of the shift knob when holding it from the side and it feels like a ball knob from the top. The aluminum with bead blasting comes pretty close to the silver finish on my FR-S interior trim. Only draw back is in the morning it's cold! On the other end, it doesnt get too hot in the sun.

The white TRD looks great! Very different and I like that it brings the shifting even closer to the steering wheel

Interesting. I prefer my VooDoo over the stock one as it is shorter, making reverse engagement quicker(for me at least). I can fit the knob and grab the reverse lockout with two fingers quite easily, don't have to twist my arm to get my hand to 'stretch' the get into reverse.

Yeah but how often do we all have to select reverse, compared to rowing through the gears in daily driving?

on a seperate note, you drove past us on High Road the other day in the arvo no?

not that i don't like my voodoo. its just that i usually buy 1 sphere one and a longer one (than stock) for each manual cars that i have/had. i like to swap them around when i feel like it.

i might actually buy a "dildo" one when i go to japan for laugh....

Haha I got a dildo knob, but only a small one, on my previous trip to Japan last year. never ended up using it.

Not saying you don't wash your hands btw lol

That is the one I have (2nd image is actually my pic ) Would you believe its close to 3-4 years old? So yeh it will stay white. Its a great knob light weight so you can feel the synchros at lot better. Light bulb looks feels nice in your hand.
@Nardi330 Nice choice mate!
