I have the Prodrive aluminium gear **** fitted in the STi8 but its becomming a bit of a pain!

When I get in the car after its been sat out in the sun, I can barely touch the gear **** - its too damn hot!

I've tried covering it with my sunglasses case, but it has little effect! Has anyone else had this problem/found a solution?

 

Just change the ****!

 

Oven mitts...

"Nurse, my **** got too hot and burnt my hand!"

You ever seen those articles in FHM about bizarre injuries? If this one hasn't been in yet, it should be

 

just wait till the winter your hand will freeze!

 

"Nurse, my ****'s stuck to my hand..."

It just gets worse

 

Driver: Nurse I have blisters on my hand.
Nurse: how did you do that.
Driver: playing with my ****.
I think I would change it.
Cheers
Colin

 

Some would say you cant beat a hot **** (not me of course)

Park in the shade

 

These office bound types say that the standard **** gives them blisters

I have had no problems with my ****

 

Glad i didn't shake yer hand on Sunday then Steve lol.
Personally the **** on me MY97 classic was bleeding horrible the rank plastic was worn & looked carp to start with so the interior on all rice rockets needs help at the best of times so one shiny **** for me

Nowt wrong with the original ****, just fancied a shiny one in this car!

Also have quickshift, so pain is short lived!

Have already done the winter test, and at -10 its equally hard to handle

Hmmm... a white cloth, that could be an idea!!! Its 28 degrees here today, so perfect for a test!

 

Window tints? Amazed at the amount of heat that they keep out of the car.

Cover it with a tea cosy?

I'll get me coat....

Pull off in 2nd and bounce it off the limiter, should be good for 0-70ish,

what gearstick?

 

I used to have the same problem... i sorted it with a nicely cut thick black sock. Result Cool enough to touch in the summer... and not freezing your hand to it in the winter

 

how tempted am i to put a cheesy/smelly sock & thus **** related joke in but some of us have more restraint lmao

You need to have a look at your gearbox, if you need two hands to change gear, there is something very wrong.

If on the other hand, you have a burnt hand, I would suggest you put a glove on it.

On the ****, not your hand.

Hope this info is handie, Im not trying to palm you off.

 

Park it in the shade, round the corner

 

Some excellent **** related jokes guys, keep it up!!!!

I like the idea of the tea cosy, but the sock is the best idea so far! Tinted windows would probably do a fantastic job, but then I'd have to fit a bass-box, UV lights and lower the suspension! LOL

 

group buy on scooby doo socks?

Lovely place-Lake Constance.

All understood-maybe you need some better oil in the gearbox to help with the gearchanging. Can't remember if it was you I had a conversation with about Castrol Syntrac.

I thought this was normally fixed by the wearing of boxing gloves
