RX-8 shift knob
would a RX-8 shift knob fit my '88 FC?
|
no, different threads...
you would need a s5 (89-91) shifter (correct threads) or equivalent |
damn...what if I get a short shift kit for it....now will it fit? or no?
|
most short shifter comes with an S5 thread or miata thread(same as S5), which it would fit. I have Rx8 knob + short shifter.
|
a-spec rx8's are 6 speeds, j-spec rx8's are 5 speeds. If you want the correct knob, you'll need one from a j-spec rx8
|
my writeup has the short shifter info, the RX8 knob fits fine with the SS.

Yes, I believe that they all light up. One of the many fancy gimics Mazda used on the RX-8.

All the 5-speed knobs light up, but the 6-speed knobs don't... Also I still believe the Jspec's were 6-speed... Go to www.rx7.com they sell the 5-speed knob in the FD section, and it's listed as Euro spec...
|
if they do then you would need the special lighted collar that goes over the shifter shaft.
|
does anyone have pics of the illuminated one? what lights up on it?
|
The shift pattern and gear numbers light up IIRC.
|
How do they light up though? I had an autozone light up shift knob when I was still in my ricer phase... It had to plug into the cigarette lighter and had this long unattractive wire that came out the bottom of it.. Reeeeally gay.
How would this work? |
It wires into the dash lighting from what I remember...

how bright is that? the one on my dads car blinds you in 2nd gear
|
They're very bright, and it's a very red light, redder than the pics above show...
|
If you buy the one from Rotary Performance (like I did) it does not light up. And thank god.
|
mine is not all that bright, but is bright enough to able to see it. Also my knob dont blind me in 2nd gear.
|
does anyone know of places that sell the lighted knob since the RP one isnt?
