Default Which Voodoo shift knob is this on Rick's site?

http://www.ricks2k.com/products/shiftknob.php

The shiftknob with the 6-speed engraving in the middle of the page. I like the look of it more than the others because it's not "shiny."

I think it's the titanium one right? But how come there isn't an option in the bottom part of the page for the titanium knob?

They discontinued the Tit knob due to rising prices.

Many people don't notice the difference of the added weight (The tit's main feature), top it off with a price of way over $100 and you have yourself an overpriced piece of metal.

All Rick's knobs are as short as you can go however, which is why many people like them.

Thanks.

In that case I might have to scour the for sale forums for a titanium knob then.

You might be able to find a Vodoo titanium shift knob made for some other car and rethread it for the S2000.

titanium is getting very expensive. Current production lead times (at least in my field) is 90 weeks for forgings.

i asked voodoo about this two weeks ago. no more s2k titanium knobs are being made cuz of raw material cost. everything on rick's site is aluminum..and the aluminum is lighter than the stock knob.

On a side note, for those who have a Voodoo knob, do not get Loctite anywhere on the knob when trying to get the shift boot to stay up. I now have some really nasty scars on my shift knob because the Loctite 'burned' its way through the varnish on the knob.

tell me about it. I'm tempted to get another one or two of the same ones. 1 to replace the one I ruined, the other as a spare
