Default What Gear ****?

Fancy a change, thinking about the Prodrive alloy one, or maybe a Momo, had them in the past on other cars.

Please post pictures of what you have fitted to help me make my mind up

Thanks

I'd steer clear of Momo, both mine and the eldest's came to bits and look crap.

Poorly made, hyped Italian crap.

Not a great pic, but you get the idea. Prodrive alloy.

As I said I've had Momo's before, and they have been fine quality wise.
Think the Prodrive one is favourite at the moment.

It can't be that bad in the summer can it?, guess you could always drape a pair of the womans knickers over it on the hot days .

Bartop:- Seen these on Scoobyparts site, look pretty good in black, but can't really get an idea of its size, was really looking for something a little bigger than the standard size, hence the Prodrive one.

Momo air race: badges fall out of the centre, and the leather comes unglued. Crap.

I was in Halfords at the weekend and they had a Ripspeed Carbon Fibre one with flecks of blue in, looked pretty cool, but didn't look like it was for a reverse lift (they may do one), but it was only something like £25, seemed too cheap to be good quality.

Have any of you guys seen the ones on NASIOC..?

Got a black polymer resin one with a threaded brass insert from a guy on there. Lovely piece of kit, not too cold in winter and not hot in summer either for those that worry about that sort of thing.

Frayz,
I'm damned sure he does them in white and may be what you're looking for.

I'll try and track the thread down on NASIOC and will put the link here shortly.

Nige,
Dover.

I went for the Richbrook Titanium version with a short gear **** shaft (after a bit of leverage I managed to get the STi gaitor to fit over the shaft for a nice factory install look).





The Richbrook gear **** is great, goes further down on the shaft compared to the stock STi item so you get a much quicker gear shift. It's a bit fiddly to fit on at first but you just need to make sure the 3 hex nuts are adjusted equally to get a straight fit.

Then the short shaft bolts onto the gear shaft and covers the base of the gear ****. You have to stretch the gear gaitor top a little to get it to fit onto the bottom of the Richbrook shaft but worth the effort.

I'll try and get some installed pic's this weekend.
