It is an inverted boot made of material which totally eliminates any transmission noise into the cabin area. Yes, it is much quieter than original. As you can see I have done some serious modification to the center console as well.

 

That's nice looking, I'll be it helped with heat too.

Very nice job

As far as shift knobs, I still say the Muz is the hands down best counter sunk ball out there.
I bought the Voodoo, had it on the car for a day, and then sold it, I hated it, it was too small and did not have the feel I wanted. The Muz not only is larger in diameter, but it has a locking screw threaded into the bottom so there is no way it can rattle, and if it is engraved it can be positioned perfectly.

This was the look I was going for

I wish they still made the "pistol grip" shifter!

 

Call me the dumb blonde, but do we get discounts from Rick's??? If so I may finally give in and get those S badges everybody except me has.

 

[QUOTE=Boomvang,Jan 5 2006, 07:17 PM] Bob, is the short shifter that much better then stock? I can't imagine improving what feels to me to be just about

 

Mabey im wrong, I thought depending on your type membership that we do. From 5 to 10 % off. Hopefully someone can clear this up.

 

somebody please answer this question. Otherwise I'll have to do some research.

 

just type in "s2000", it will automatically take discount off.

 

Not sure what a pistol grip is, precisely, but I put on a Momo Anatomica (short) shift knob before our cross-country drive last fall, and it'a probably my favorite upgrade. (In real life, there's much less color contrast between the knob and the boot.)

This is a lightweight knob, though, and I know that some folks like the heavy feel of those Ti (and other metal) ones -- but why, I haven't figured out. I've tried both, and I like this way better: it has vastly improved shift feel. (Anyone wanting to do this ought to PM me for a coupe of tips.) HPH

[The pattern is from a metal knob I got for my STi -- a different thread, though.]
