who wants a black prodrive shifter knob?
 
prodrive is offering a shifter knob seen here:

[img]http://www.i-club.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1026702[/img]

in either blue (pictured) or all polish... I would like an all black one with a polished cap thingy... or [i]all[/i] black would be fine for me as well...

Simon Lines from prodrive said this...

[B]Hi All

To do another colour (any other colour) we have to get them to do a production run, min batch is about a hundred.

So i need to know that i've shifted (pun intended) around half before i'll commit to the run.

Glad you like 'em though

Cheers

Simon [/B][/QUOTE]

so I would like to know who else would want a black one?

EDIT: PLEASE ONLY POST "YES" IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED... I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE PRICE WILL REMAIN THE SAME $55.00.

I'll go in if they are black leather wrapped w/silver logo like the momo (air leather I think)

How Much???

I can only assume the price with remain at $55.00... but I don't think prodrive will offer a leather one... just the style above in black (or another color, as Simon stated).

Will these knobs fit my MY98 Legacy GT?

Thanks

once again i would have to assume... I am under the impression that shift knobs are universal... but if I were you, I would reply to the thread above and ask either simon or luke...

-wop

p.s. I don't see why it wouldn't fit... but since I have not tried it... I can't say for sure.

Make that 44 to go...
 
I want it mine blacker than the night... or just regular black will be fine.
Siper2 10-24-2001 08:02 PM

Okay here's the black knob that I believe is the one in question:

[img]http://www.i-club.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1020144[/img]

Now, as you can see in that Prodrive parts thread, people are saying it's not really black, it's a bad picture. Well, it may be a big picture, but it looks good to me, and unless I'm REALLY color blind, that's black. :D
(The detail on the metal cap atop the knob is good, and the underline of the Prodrive "P" is clearly blue, so I don't personally see how it could be a bad pic.)

sumit 10-24-2001 09:25 PM

Ok, so what do I need to do if I want one....
RoryB 10-24-2001 09:34 PM

Maybe not black
 
Siper- what I think is happening is one or two things:
a) the polished aluminum is reflecting a black interior
b) the bottom of the knob is partially in shadow thus giving a black appearance...

I'm trying to make up my mind on which to order!

Hi Guys

Ok, assuming enough of you want it we can do a black knob with a silver top inlay, i'll check out a price and let Luke know (i would expect it to be the same or very close to the others)

The problem with the pic is the reflection from inside, i just didn't think about it before posting it, so i guess "sorry" is in order :) But as you all seem to like it i guess no harm was done...

Cheers

Simon

gossamer_monster 10-26-2001 02:09 PM

I`d be interested in a black one.
It would just depend on how long it took to get enough people involved. I wouldn`t mind waiting a month or so.

I want a black one.

Are they going to be anodized, or some other process? If they are anodized do they have a clear sealer on the surface?

gossamer_monster 10-26-2001 03:52 PM

Maybe we can get a vendor to buy a bunch? :)

Now when Simon said he needed 50 people interested he also mentioned he would need 100 total to do a production run. Does this mean we need 50 to get Prodrive's attention then another 50 for them to be made? :(

i definately want a silver with a silver inlay.

Alluminum/gray/silver= same thing

SubaFastR 10-27-2001 12:38 AM

Uh dude, this is about black shifter knobs. If you want a silver one, buy one from Tirerack now, it'll ship in a month.
technix 10-27-2001 01:24 AM

i'll take one! :D
front 10-27-2001 01:01 PM

i'll go in for one
MGS'sWRX 10-27-2001 01:08 PM

I'd Take a black one when can we expect them?
gossamer_monster 10-27-2001 04:10 PM

Not until we get at least another ~35 people interested.

*edit*
This might get more exposure in the classified sections. Maybe North or some mod could move this thread?
Or maybe start a new on in one of those sections?

Simon Lines 10-29-2001 08:09 AM

:lol:

You guys are great - so enthusiastic

The gearknobs all fit on the std screw thread on the stock shifter the non STi knobs have a machined lip for the shifter boot, the STi knobs are machined to fit the reverse lockout.

Cheers

wop 10-29-2001 02:09 PM

Whitey 10-29-2001 03:48 PM

WILL THIS BE A DIRECT SCREW ON KNOB OR MORE LIKE A UNIVERSAL FIT LIKE THE MOMO KNOBS?

IF IT SCREWS RIGHT ON COUNT ME IN.
gossamer_monster 10-29-2001 04:46 PM

Yikes. Easy with the caps lock. :)

Here's a quote from Simon Lines from Prodrive:
[QUOTE]All knobs fit on the stock shifter thread and will fit prodruction from 93 to date [/QUOTE]

So there you go.

Wop, another one to add to the list.
