Options Sports gear knob - Page 4

TTDegs · 10th September 2007, 09:23

sports knob is circa £70 from memory

re the gater - yes... and no.

Theres a thread in here somewhere, detailing exactly what bits you need to do the job properly, but it ends up quite expensive

The main problem is attaching the gater at the bottom - on the R, there are a number of small bolts which come up from underneath the facia and into the bottom of the gater.

On non-Rs, the holes for these bolts aren't there...

link to fitting the R bits for the gaitor

Type 'R' gearstick - Will it fit???

make sure you're sitting down before you check out the cost though...

And I thought you said it was expensive

. My goodness me! Thank God I and getting my sports gear knob free! ( obviously without the gaitor - simple knob good enough for me )

Didn't like the rubbery feel of the original Honda one so I managed to pick up a chromed and brown metal kind of smooth hook-shaped knob in .......

....wait for it.......

....ALDIs !

(or it might have been LIDL - I can never tell them apart)

Cost = £4.00

Hi - just seen your post.
It does sound horrible now that you mention it, but it is quite nice to use.

I'll try to get a picture or two tomorrow when Lady Dosser comes home with the car.
Probably won't be able to post it until about this time of night since I'll be out at the football in the evening.

Cheers,

LD

No probs, I'm sure its much better than your description!

lobey dosser · 19th September 2007, 00:56

Okey, dokey - here's yer photie....

I can't quite remember whether
a)the sides were originally a solid brown colour which is wearing off to show the copper colour underneath or
b) it was always the sort of two-tone finish you see now.
Not bad value at £4 either way.

The knob is quite short, so gives a good, quick shift and is nice and smooth in the palm of your hand (ooer, missus

)
I'm happy enough with it anyway.

Ithangew, HM.

No other opinions on me knob?

If you think it's crap just say so...I can take it.

TTDegs · 21st September 2007, 00:51

I wouldn;t - but have seen a lot worse!

and if you're happy, I'm happy

robbo51 · 21st September 2007, 07:05

Going to get a gaiter for it to finish the job

waran · 21st September 2007, 16:21

I've just got a brand new original sports gear know (as in the one Pottsy has) of Fleabay! Paid 55 pounds for it. Not hugely cheaper than if I bought it from a dealer (some have got it for about 65 i believe) but hey 'every little counts'. Can't wait for it to arrive.

You will soon have a grand feedback score of...1

waran · 22nd September 2007, 14:43

yes, but my dealership is far enough from my house that the postage is a cost i will gladly live with. And yay for my feedback! I haven't bid on ebay in 2 years and couldn't get my old account to work (forgot the password and failed to retrieve it).

I like how it looks on the honda website and the pictures posted here.

korky · 22nd September 2007, 15:03

waran i really wanted that gearknob..give it to me!
I usually watch til the end then snipe in with seconds remaining.
It got a tad too rich for me although with hindsight being wat it is i wish i'd bid an extra quid!

If you see another whilst surfin let me know, enjoy playin with ya knob.

waran · 22nd September 2007, 15:25

Sorry korky! So you must be the one putting the price up. Hmh... Was sure it would be less than 50 at the start. I did what you normally do. Yes, if i come across another one I will surely let you know. On a good note, I told the seller all about civinfo, and hopefully he will join.

Waran.

P.S. I actually told myself i will not buy it if the price goes up more than 50.50! But hey would we all be here if we weren't such suckers to our civics!
