That shifter knob that blackazz gt has on his car is probably the same inside diameter as the momo raptor shift knob i bought off ebay. I got the $80 knob and the damn thing would not fit, the stock fiero shifter shaft is too damn big!!! So i wonder if blackazz gt has the smaller diameter shifter shaft from rodney dickman? I would assume that knob of blackazz gt is the same inside diameter since its a momo too. So blackazz gt tell me please is that the smaller one from rodney? Cause I know you have the rodney comp.short shifter and i ordered his comp short shifter and the shaft is the same size as stock.

That be would be great crzyone if you could find that receipt on those pedals. If you bought them from the fiero store then i think they must have stopped selling them because i looked all over there site and no billet allumium pedals to be found. And there is no way im going to buy any cheap imatation plastic racing pedal covers

Edit: HA HA the second page is mine

Street Glow EL Shift Knob on a Rodney Dickman short shifter. The red neon wire is normally wired to switched power -- glows when the car's on. My son wired it to the ECM shift light -- it glows when it's time to upshift.

Do you actually have this mounted up in the car? I would like to see how you got it to work and what do the buttons do?

Yes, I have had it mounted in the car. My car is in "KIT" form now due to many projects going on. I am planning on the buttons work the power windows and have one pulse the wipers one time (for those times when the slowest delay setting is not quite slow enough).

I installed it about 12 years ago when I was in the military. I had a 5 speed shifter shortened and moded for the mounting of it.

It is quite cool and attracts alot of attention.

hey, i've got a similar one out in the garage, i think maybe an f4 control. i hope to make it part of the chopper project. i've been wondering what kind of angle to mount it at so it feels comfortable to rest your hand on. i tend to drive a stick with one hand on the shifter all the time so having a lot of the controls on it seems like a neat thing to do.

i look at it and try to work out what the buttons could do. pulsing the wipers would be good. i'm also thinking of using the trim control for turn signals, like when you flip them on for a second for lane changes, and maybe the front and back control for flashing high beams or the brake lights when you want to scare a tailgator without actually hitting the brakes. i'm also thinking of one being the horn that flashes the highbeams and/or any driving lights i add.


:evil: maybe have a bright strobe in the 3rd tail light to throw off tailgators too. like throwing a little flare and chaff

Philiphine,
I plan on running my power windows from the "cooly" hat. I have built an interface box that will allow me to run either both windows together or individually. I will mount a switch that will allow me to select between single and dual window operation.

I drive like you do, with one had on the wheel and the other on the shifter. If anyone wants, I can re-mount the shifter in the car to ahow the hand position. I find it very comfortable and it does draw alot of attention.

I got it when I was in the Marines. I worked on helicopters. When one of the switches stopped working properly, we would change the entire grip because when trying to replace one of the red buttons; if you weren't real careful, the grip would get damaged. The grip (called cyclic grip) is conciderd a consumable (throw away) item so every time one went bad, we got to take it home. I used to have about 5 of the things but over the years, I ahve given them away.

They are available to the public. They are used in Bell helicopters but they cost about $600.00.

If anyone is interested, I can post pics of the adapter / spacer I had made and the modifications to the shifter.
