It looks quite similar to the 2001 (all metal) S2000 knob

(which I still have)

My Raza knob is all metal, and it weighs 340-grams.

Razo.

A Raza knob would be something else entirely.

It would smell strongly of bourbon and slaughter children...

We're going to have some great economy car battles in a few months.

Battles? Ha! If that's what you want to call it, that's your perogative. But in reality, there will be one fine piece of German craftsmanship running circles around a couple of Jap-bombs.

Same difference.

Jap-bombs...

Though I hope to have a Tacoma by then, I'll just run you punk asses over.

I thought of you the moment I came upon this jewel.

Reported.

I don't get it, and if I don't get it, it doesn't go in my thread.

You aint kiddin me.

One day, I actually took my sock off and covered the shifter with it so I could touch it.

Winter wasn't bad, it would heat up pretty quick if you held it for any length of time.

I think Honda was trying to encourage quick shifts and keeping your hand off of the shifter when you're not using it.

It makes you feel alive, doesn't it?

I assume that's why you took the shifter off eventually...

I always chuckle when I see something like that.  It's so simple!  Sure, it looks great, but you gotta figure for a production car they'd go with something a little more all season...

Don't start talking to Raza about grams...or BenzBoy for that matter.

I'll never understand why some people put their hand on the shifter while not shifting...

I deal only in kilograms.

I bought a momo leather knob. it didn't look half as good, but it didn't scald me either.

My car was a 2001. '02 or '03 they went to a leather wrapped one anyways.

You'll understand after you've been driving for 20-hours on a boring-as-hell interstate and you've run out of other places to rest your hand.

I do all the time....it's something to do...

See, this knob was $30 and is weighted. A weighted MOMO knob is more like $90+

[The Pirate]

It causes extra wear for the syncros...

Meessez up ur shysdrcr0z

Plus even when I'm driving the 'cc0rd I don't put my hand on the gear selector.

Ah, so they wizened up!

Fun souvenir of the old ride at least.

We do that with the boats we sell: we've got tillers from our last three boats, and a nameboard from one of them.

I think as a gift I'll get all the tillers mounted for Dad- ha I just had a brainwave!

Bah, I think that's rubbish. Maybe it has some validity on a direct linkage, but with cable operation, I doubt it.

We got the Accord with 4k, it has over 250k on the original clutch now, it's survived that long being driven with people fiddling with the shifter....
