@@bakajoninjapan still getting used to it lol I have the suzuka extension with it and it was paired with the thic Boi before so there's the weight difference. Thic Boi felt too heavy for me, ghost is more nimble.
I see! I had the Thicc Boi for some time, alone tho. The weight was perfect for my application but it wasn't the exact shape I was looking for. The Ghost is the perfect compromise!
Thanks for the comment! I really had the chance to put the ghost to the test during the past couple of days and I love it even more than I'd imagined! Maybe I should do a review video as well. (^_^)
Watched this just to see how reverse lockout worked. And I’m glad you found a way to make it work. It’s not selling me on this expansive shift knob that doesn’t even work out of the box.
It is really specific to the Lotus. The shiftknob thread is also different. Lotus uses only the engine and the gearbox from Toyota. Everything else is Lotus (almost haha!)
I've had some likewise stuffs too but most of them is the pro editions..just ordered the rapfix bell II collab.. i thought of ordering the ghost too, but afraid of the shifting feels as most of my collections are weighted..
@@2Drezik hum… je réfléchi beaucoup à quoi faire avec cette chaîne UA-cam… ça pourrait être une des vidéos « pilote » en effet! Merci de me le rappeler !❤️
Hum… 🤔 I’d say it feels softer than the duracon I personally experienced. Surface is smooth but definitely not smooth like glass (better like this imo). There’s a subtitle texture, very pleasant.
@@bakajoninjapan im curious have u ever tried the TRD duracon from the early 2000s. They dont make them anymore but its the most perfect shift knob. My friend has it, it feels glass like and its weighted. But all the replicas are made of nylon now.
The round ones? Or bulb shaped ones? I probably had my hand on one of them at some point but can’t really remember how it felt like… I’m using gloves most of the time as well too. Even for basic commute (prevents me from biting my nails. I’m a stressed person 😂)
I just got my shift knob in black with a brushed finish on the bottom, but for some reason the black parts looks weird. Like it has some sort of weird coating on it and it looks off-grayish
@@mctg9043 I wouldn't mind paying the price if all you have to buy is the gear knob, but you have to pay extra for an adaptor, a shift boot retainer which puts the price up to like $200. Ridiculous
@@vxsr33 especially if you have a vw the compatibility issues and the difficulty for installation is crazy. I have to take the entire shift boot out and then disassemble the shift knob rather than just unscrewing the shift knob like on a normal car.
It would work as well yes! It's not easy to notice but I had to modify the original biscuit adapters in order to fit the knob on the Elise shifter. And I also had to mount them up side down, which is not recommended. So, in my case, the new adapter feels much safer and stronger.
I just got my ghost shifter today😀 white with brushed base. I LOVE it!
Nice!! How do you like the feel?

Sorry for the late reply mate! To be fair, the Lotus has a very specific shifter. The Likewise products usually fit without any hustle!
@@bakajoninjapan ohhhh. I was thinking it was more or less like a Toyota shifter.

Pls do a video on the shift knobs collection and your experience with them..
Ah... this is doable! I can't promise it will be very interesting but I can try!

I was so hype when they dropped this
Can wait to really put it to the test! But so far, it's just perfect!
does the delrin feel smooth or gritty? I want to know if its like duracon which feels glass like in texture.

Ah strange.. hit them up I’m sure they can help. Have you tried to clean it up with wd40 or something a little bit oily?
@@bakajoninjapan I haven’t but not a bad idea. I’ll definitely try that. My shipping took forever so I really don’t want to send it back.
@@chrisedgerton5464 ah yeah... and you're lucky if you don't have to pay for import taxes a second time...

But the quality is ridiculously great I have 4

Looks like a lot of work for a online knob?
What do mean by "online"?
I’d of just left on the old adaptor tbh

Bro really paying $100 for a $30 shift knob cause of good trend marketing and web design. Its literally sneaker head for car guys 🤣
