Cool that you showed how to do this and all but let’s not forget to credit the guy who came up with it first / made it popular. O_o s2000.
I shaved all the way to the collar, used calipers and notched two sides flat at 14mm.
It is like the FK2 knob, very comfortable.
That shift knob looks good man, I like it.
Those look great but I had the titanium S2000 optional shift knob for two weeks before switching back to stock. Those things ROAST your palm if you park out in the sun at all lol , but great video either way and glad you're happy since that's all that matters in the end!
thanks for the kind words! check out the most recent video, I ended up switching to a delrin extended knob and I actually prefer the aluminum but on hot days it'll cook you hahah
I have the titanium shifter shaped something like your factory one. That looks good, kinda like the CR. I had to laugh at you talking about how good it feels in the palm of your hand. Lol "NICE"
hahahaah thank you for checkin this out my dude, it's the little things in life ya know
Looks great!!! Love it
thank you my G! means a lot comin from someone w a build as clean as yours! i'll get there too!
Looks interesting. I wanna get a new knob and boot. Not really happy with some aftermarket one that came on the car, its a sphere like yours. You gotta grip it like a baseball. Im more of a pistol grip like that oem one you took off
I hear ya, I really liked the change of pace from OEM to the FD2, it's a unique feeling and I'm a fan of lighter knobs because you can actually feel what the transmission is doing, not sure if there is a better or worse but I do know change is good
@@jaelnava_ yeah its nice to change it up
Do yo have the link for the shift boot? I would love to renew my interior.
instagram.com/gtgoods/ DM works best!
@@jaelnava_ Awesome, thank you.
Looks like that shifter setup would lengthen your throws
you're correct! it's a little taller - a few mm - so the throws are technically longer but the shifter also sits closer to wheel! either way, I don't personally think the S needs shorter throws, it's already got like the shortest gearbox throws in the game 🏀
Hey I was thinking of going for this setup too, but I was wondering how many cm you left from the end of the black piece to the bottom of the collar so I don't end up shaving too much off when it gets here lol
12:44 can be used sooooo out of context 😅
didn’t you zip tie the boot to the collar?
Depending on what you're looking for you don't need to zip tie it! If you want the 110% fit and finish a zip tie can't hurt.
Can you list both part numbers?
sure! lemme update the description!
Does the FD2 knob have the same feel as the Ultimate Edition?
Yep! Same knob essentially minus that one detail I covered in this video
I have a full black interior in mint condition on my S2K and I really want that red interior... Let me know if you'd be interested in doing a trade or willing to sell yours.
