You know.... I coulda got you a Japanese 5-speed RX8 rotary shift knob.... for probably about what you paid for that one...


But they are sweet aren't they?! I'm gonna buy one.

pics or this thread is worthless

WTF makes you think you can say something like that and not provide pics damnit!

That is a stock RX-8 shift knob, that's exactly what it looks like, only they are for a 5-speed instead of a 6-speed.

Yes, the RX-8 came in a 5-Speed MTX in Japan, and yes the ones we sell are Mazda OEM, not knockoffs.

They run about $119 if I remember correctly... I'll check it out tomorrow when I'm at the shop.

PM me and I might be able to hook you up with free shipping if you aren't too far away ;)

I'm in Tejas. Pretty pricey for a shift knob, but I'll see what I can do hehe, I'll pm you later about it

It is a lot, but these things are heaaavvvyy. They're really well made. Mazda doesn't screw around when it comes to expensive OEM stuff.

:D

can you get the lighted 5-speed euro rx-8 knobs?

Do you have pics of the 5 speed rx-8 knob? and do they fit on an S4 shifter?

my rx8 shift knob cost 40k dollars, its all thats left

Proooobably, I'll check into that.


Edit: Yes I can! They are slightly more expensive though... But they also come in Red, Tan, and Black.

I should do a group buy on these...

pics!? You people are driving me nuts! If you're going to talk about something, at least let me see the damn thing! (The lighted, that is... :) )

:eek:


I think this could definitely be a group buy. Please get more pics!

Yes, yes indeed.....

Bingo. I would pass on the lighted one's though.

Alright! Alright! I found a pic of the 5spd one for you guys!


The illuminated one looks exactly like this only the numbers and lines in the middle light up.


EDIT: Also, I forgot to address this before, but no, it will not fit an S4 shifter.

^shit! is there and way it will fit? will it fit any short shifter kits?

Same thread as the S5's?

Yes. Standard M10 thread size. The Series 4 use a large ~M12 thread so they're too big for the knob.

I believe so... Most short shifter kits that I have seen (MazdaSpeed I know for sure) use the S5 M10 thread pitch. They used the same thread on the S5 FC, FD and RX8.

you could turn down the s4 on a lathe and then run it thru a dye. or you could just swap in a s5 shifter lever...

Well... Yeah... There's usually some stock S5 shift levers hangin around the FS section.

[B]sorry guys, i havnt been on the computer lately and it seems my digi cam is broken! ha!...ill use a picture with my cellphone...it does look awesome though and its weighted so theres like more force in every shift if you shift hard...i love it looking 6 speed though, i tell everyone around here with thier hondas and acuras that i have full rx8 swap haha...uhmm i bought the thing for $50 off of ebay...got lucky....i think they retail at like 200 or something straight from Mazda...it wouldnt fit at first but i did some things and it eventually went around the shifter LOVE it now..

how much did you forget to say those lighted rx8 knobs are?

I don't know exactly...

It shouldn't be much more than the non-lighted ones though. I have to wait until they show up to know how much they'll be.
