Hand made wood knob is prime.

Knob is cash, i must admit.

Those tires are gonna suck in the snow dude . They're summer tires .

I love E34s I want one for a daily so bad

I drove through an entire NY winter with Polly on those, I got stuck a few times but I am a lot lower and very light rear. I think it would be wise to get some snows...just saying.

Out of all the wide bodies, turbos, and swaps this is the most bad ass thing on r3v right now.

Homebrew shift knob DIY

1. Aquire wood - this is juniper / cedar. The heartwood is awesome.




2. Cut said wood to desired knob length.




3. Rough shape - I used some chisels and a dremel.




4. Drill pilot hole in base and enter wood screw.
5. Chuck into drill.
6. Spin with progressive sand paper.






7. Open hole with 1/2 inch drill bit. The shift arm is a hair larger in diameter so walk the bit around to open it up a tad.
8. Enjoy your wood.

You could probably sell those for a pretty penny. Especially if you find a way to put some lead weights in there. Gorgeous knob.

Wow great stuff in here. Calypso ftmfw and that shift knob, omg, I can't even.

[DJ Bongleg]

Thanks guys. I went and found some more quality pieces of cedar and I've been toying with some ideas to get some weight in it along with a quality fastening method rather than just a good friction fit. If people are interested I have enough wood to make probably three more (hopefully weighted) knobs.

Well see, its definitely got a better feel than a standard unweighted knob, with weight it would be butter.

I bet I could fit that shift knob in my butt
