Ordered a few new shifter goodies...
Blackworks dual bend shifter
Hardrace shifter bushings
Nadi Prestige Shift knob
Nardi Black Leather shift boot


Right now I'm running a ebay straight shifter, stock bushings, Karcepts knob and stock boot. I'm pretty sick of it! I thought I'd like the Karcepts knob, but eh, its good for driving, but it freezes my hand in our cold ass winters...lmao. And I have a secret love for leather knobs....mmm.... O_o

I gotta say out of the shift knobs that I had OEM gsr one was by far the most comfortable one...

Yeah I had a GSR one also, gave it to my friend once I got the OEM si knob haha. I've never been a fan of stock knobs, even type r ones, etc, I like a comfortable knob rather than a good looking one. And the OEM leather one was dope! It's just worn down to s**t, and the Nardi Prestige leather knob looks the same basically, same shape etc, just has a nardi logo and its brand new haha.

Thanks man! :thumbup:
Well I got my Blackworks shifter and Hardrace bushings in, just waiting on my Nardi knob and shift boot to do the full installation. I LOVE the shifter, it's super heavy and seems very well made, I can't wait to get it all on!

Thank you! I was figuring it was going to be a basic shifter, but it has a ball bearing bushing, very heavy weight and really rigid! I dig it =)

looks sweet!
Thanks!

I am so jealous of your car! I would about kill to have an EBP EM1
Haha thanks!

So I took off my shift linkage to install these suckers, and figures, the guy I guess had a B&M or something kit installed, so it replaced the stock collar and holding plate, so now I had to order the OEM ones to run this new shifter. So, I took the linkages off and started to clean them, figured mine as well since I have to wait a few days.

The kit he had on there:





The cleaned linkage with the new bushings




So expect more updates in the next few days when I get that stuff in :thumbup:

Well, after waiting 15 or some odd days for an order from JHP :thumbdown :thumbdown...it finally arrives.

Brand new Nardi Prestige black leather knob and Nardi black leather shift boot. I'm very happy with the choice I made!! I don't think I'll be swapping shift knob setups for awhile haha.


Them together:




All to go along with this:


Nardi FTW

Oh and since the EM1 is down for a few days...I figured I'd do some DIY gauge stuff. Lit up si emblem and RPM. I think it came out okay.
