:skid
im sure i can tough it out… ive lived been in worse places…
im going to post pics in a minute…
Dudes interested in knobs ITT.
Here are some pics of the 2 current knobs … Taller version(Billyclub) is about 4-1/2 to 5 inches… Ball style with extention, 2inch ball… Thread pitch is 10x1.5 can be done in other threads aswell… All are made from Aluminum will be making steel version soon, Some are handmade others on a CNC’ed . all drawn up by hand no CAD involved yet…
Made one for the hell of it… People showed interest, so i made a few more… i was bring the meaning to myself “Built not bought” im currently working on new projects for a hatch im dearly searching for (EG hatch). im not settling for just anything… so expect to see more parts being made in the near future…
These are sandblasted getting ready for powdercoating.
Welcome! :clap What were you racing in Cali?
Nice, i think the ball would look better if it was just the ball
just track days at willow springs, buttonwillow etc… i was building my car for time attack. then some chick rear-ended me and totalled the car … it was a 93 hatch.
reason for the extention so it would sit higher… you dont want a short shifter when road racing… the higher the better. makes for quick shifting… circuit hero makes a ball knob.you can by a extention piece or you can skip that and buy a fastline performance shifter which run 200$… pretty much my knobs are a in between option and cost effective for what im planning on doing … one i have in the middle of the sandblasted picture is also a new one made only one for now…
Lots of people and some members are involved in HPDE and Drifting around here. Do check out the Race Day section. Have fun this season.
i hoping i can get out this season…i got a car lined up just have to pick it up. plus i need to find out what tracks are around…
check out slideny.com for drifting, if your into that.
Define around? How far are you willing to drive to a track?
i’ll be FF. no rear wheel yet … thats later down the road
i know there is lime rock,watkins,jersey,NH etc… im looking into more of speedventure, HFF challenge driving. Reason being i can have more of a street car and still drive the track vs having a full on racecar with i dont mine but thats wwwaaayyy down the road once i buy a house. far drives dont bother me to much 4 hrs max
u got some nice knobs there… u do special orders
i do …
