boardjnky4 09-30-2009 02:17 PM

Opinions are like assholes. Just the same though, fuck you for being a cock about it.

I prefer a nice black and white leather version to match my interior, but I dont see that happening for me.

You'd have to have one custom made, but that would look clean with your interior.

Maybe hit up an upholstery shop or something? It's worth a shot.

Hey man, don't kill the messenger. Not my fault that you emblem looks like a pair of vampire fangs. I bet you're a twilight fan too.

Whatever buddy. I'm sorry you don't like my emblem.

It's still a matter of opinion and nobody gives a fuck about yours. So, pretty please with sugar on top, shut the fuck up and get back to the topic at hand.

Thanks. I would be willing to pay big $ for it. Regular Mazda 6s actually came with this type of shifter, but its a 5 speed...Maybe I could get a plate made up....

This i'd like...

That looks nice!

It couldn't cost too much to have something like that sewn up.

LOL!! I shift into reverse and go faster! LOL!!

E4Performance 09-30-2009 02:59 PM

I'm going to do one knob for now. 6 speed pattern on top. Black (most likely).

Anyone that wants custom options, can take them to their local powdercoater.

also, what's the cost going to be?

I worked valet for 2 years...
depends on the Lot and such but ya generally i wouldnt trust a valet.
i usually watch them stall mine a few times then go in. i dont gove a flying fuck

btw SKEET... i have a beanie for my shift knob too. this chick made me one. haha ill have to find it and take some pics.

reddeerspeed3 09-30-2009 03:22 PM

"shift me" is fucking hilarious. since everybody wants different shit engraved, or not at all, why not just blank and you can get it engraved locally?

I like the shift pattern idea. Plain and simple.

nighthawk358 09-30-2009 06:15 PM

gunmetal or black with red engraving would be awesome...will the knob be direct fit or does it have to be adjustable by screws

GoSpeed3Go 09-30-2009 06:20 PM

just keep it cheap. weighted with no design or pattern. everyone wins.

spd6guy90 09-30-2009 06:35 PM

I'm definitely interested in this. Screw paying for a shift knob that's 120+

byau 10-02-2009 12:31 AM

i'd be in. blank would probably be better for most and it'll also allow you to sell it for other cars as well as the regular mz3.

danesti 10-02-2009 12:43 AM

lemmie know if anyone has a clean stock shifter they want to get rid of for cheap

boardjnky4 10-02-2009 07:22 AM

shift me is awesome

that would make a good plate too!

E4Performance 10-05-2009 08:28 PM

ok. I am going to make a few up this week. I will also post a picture with a solution to keep it cool that will be included for free.

armarine04 10-06-2009 10:41 AM

My center cap with the shift patteren keeps coming off, glued it back on twice now! Holding out and hoping this will be worth my wild.

PM me...I'd like to see if you're interested in putting a package together. My plate kits and your shift knobs.

tozfeekum 10-14-2009 12:59 PM

any updates?

E4Performance 10-14-2009 01:28 PM

in process good sir. I'm making them out of 303 stainless (heaviest metal that doesn't cost 2 arms and 3 legs) and machining time is slow on stock that hard. They're looking nice though.

The "burn preventer" is good and will be a super cheap and easy solution. (will be included for free)

armarine04 10-14-2009 08:33 PM

any sneak peaks on the over all design, or will we have to wait for the final product?

mazspd6 10-14-2009 09:53 PM

Interested.

I'll stay tuned for pics. and weight.

Thanks

Maybe include a cheap little shift knob cover to keep it from getting hot while not in use. Or make one seperately if that's asking too much for under $100 bucks.

I would want the same thing.

Dauthi 10-16-2009 09:55 PM

I'd be very interested too. Simple, cheap, and no engraving would be my choice

Aetherfury 10-16-2009 09:59 PM

I'm interested. Please don't make it look like any of the TWM knobs and make it so heavy that I have to use both hands. Kthx.

this sounds good to me, what will the price be?

E4Performance 10-27-2009 11:32 AM

alright, got the materials pricing and machine time done. It's looking like right around $80 including the "heat/cold protector."

Prototype was 635 grams. Going to keep it as close to prototype as possible.

Side note, it happens to fit the 350z, 370z, evo 8, evo 9, and a few other cars too :)

Aetherfury 10-27-2009 11:37 AM

Can't wait to see it! That is nice and heavy.

E4Performance 10-28-2009 11:33 AM

bulk material on the way.

18psiWhiteMS3 10-28-2009 11:50 AM

Copy the COBB knob but use Red instead of blue on the bottom. Ill buy

Please read the thread. That's not the plan and won't be happening.


Once the knobs are done and back here from black annodizing, then we will start offering them for sale. WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING PAYMENT UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO SHIP. NO PRE-ORDERS. Thanks


Scott

dan7225 10-28-2009 11:58 AM

how much would it cost to get a plastic, leather wrapped knob, filled with lead!
lead is cheap right! :ban:

Shin Gouki 10-28-2009 04:29 PM

Can't wait to see it! Post some pics asap please even if they're non-annodized knobs. Thanks

AmillieMS6 10-28-2009 05:34 PM

in for picssssssss
