Looking for a decent gear knob so does anyone know a good place to buy one?

I've seen the one i like in halfords

m http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165732 m

Any other good knobs around?

cobra style,
black leather
chrome.

Alternatives ive found:

s:(

would appreciate it if you could send me some links... cheers!

Off topic - how come 'knob' isn't swear filtered but 'D!ck' is?

On topic - Have you looked at Momo ones?

Anonymous · January 7, 2013, 13:34

I have...

the combat design is with aluminium s:(

s:( which isnt the same... sure it will be silver and shiny, but it wont go with the rest of the chrome inside!

The other - the cobra, looks nice but its carbon fibre, which im not sure about? dont have any carbon fibre anywhere on the car?

found this!!!

but £50 for a knob seems expensive?

Hmmm not sure on that one. Found some more pictures of it here in context (albeit a lancer not a 2)

Linky
Looks tooo long front to back. Just my opinion though.

The Momo one is the best, but then mine's Momo and I like mine s:)

s:)

I did have a similar shape on my Micra (lol) that my bro got me for Xmas one year, it had grooves for your fingers so was nice to hold but I really dislike the shape s:? :? s:?

Rich i have a beauty of a knob you can get ya hands on for £15! Its perfect and will fit in your hand as if it were designed to! Its chrome so needs some warming up in the winter months, may need to blow on it to warm it up before touching.

I'll take a pic of my know and post it on here later for your perusal s;)

s;)

cheers man, look forward to the picture of your knob in question.

£15 sounds about right

He's my cheap ebay one, just needs finishing off. I do like the feel of a metal knob!

Why? As long as its not actually on it.
Mine was a Halfrauds Momo. Meant for sequential boxes, but I find it sits very nicely in the palm of the hand - like a good golf club

Thanks guys dont know what happened to that link lol

I agree. I think my history is right, Keith Rip was a successful Mini racer (original shape) in earlier days and ran a company (Ripspeed) specialising in tuning parts (hot cams, carbs wheels etc. etc).
The name has some pedegree amongst old tuning fans. Not sure how or why or when the Halfords association was formed.

Anonymous · January 7, 2013, 18:50

but its the same as Alienware (computers).

They used to be the best at performance gaming computers... then they joined with dell... and its half 30% performance 70% cheap parts...

I dont care about the name on it... i just dont think the quality is there.

dj2k21 · January 7, 2013, 18:52

Sorry but ripspeed to me just screams chav. A bit like burberry really. Used to be an expensive thing now its scummy.
