Yep exactly the same as mine. What's that work out to in pounds and pence?

About £45 but then theres shipping, duty etc.
how do you find yours mate?

Try these guys Joe, I have ordered things from them in the past and had no issues and delivery is quick too:thumb:

Ebay, paid about 12 quid.

Came in STi box with STi paper work, could be fake i guess, but seems spot on.

I bought it off Ty (Canon Fodder). Genuine ones are pretty dear but as above Fleabay has some fake ones cheap.

This is Joe we are talking to, the man doesn't do Fake :norty:

True. They're about £80 for genuine ones on Ebay. It's not bad at £45 Joe for a genuine one. :thumb:

Would be interested to know the difference on the cheap ones, I've bought two of them and they are very good to be fair.

I guess it's made of a cheaper material.

Is this a duracon?

There appears to be two different styles. I'm thinking about swapping for a leather sti knob

The difference between the real and fake duacon gear knobs are that:

Fakes ones - £12 jobbies from eBay are very 'plasticy' and in general not great quality.

The real ones, 'I bought mine from Japan for around £70 delivered'

They feel great, they actually look and feel like they could be made from glass! Plus with the product, duracon, it doesn't get too hot in summer or too cold in winter.

The genuine item signed by toshi arai himself

:D

Soo, how do you find the sti duracon one compared to stock? Good weight? It looks taller..is the reverse lockout still comfortable to reach?

Actually feels bit smaller reverse is exactly same and an aggressive tight feel to it hard to explain the genuine one feels good to I had a brand new one on before :lol1:

Lol, we're on a forum discussing gear knobs!! Thanks for the info tho! Mine rattles so I want to replace it or fix it up. Think I'd like the Duracon just not sure it goes with the stock 05 interior that well..

To be honest if it wasn't a rare item I'd stick to the genuine one instead looks just as good
