GHETTO GOLF BALL SHIFT KNOB

[stefan]

well we all like balls on our shafts

well i can tell you how to acchive this phenominal mod

get a golf ball (many colors to choose)

get a drill bit 10mm


bit if you have a 12mm use it

clamp golf ball in vice or simmilar or clamp if ur using a press

drill to ablot half the hight of ball then remove your old poo brown knob

then force down your golf ball onto shaft it will self tapp due to softer material

then when threads covered up all done

i use one in my car verry cool

[blair]

BAH

[stefan]

better than stock

[Todd]

have to see pics otherwise it never happend.

haha this souinds great.

[egg_83]

Make sure you dont use a golf ball with a liquid center then. Most range balls have a solid center

[Todd]

or those fake golf balls that explode into dust when you hit them?

[stefan]

pics up and yes use solid centres

cheaply available from your local driving range by fence for free

[Dish]

Did this like 2 minutes aftrer reading. Pretty cool. I found if you just use a 10mm and sort of test then round it out some more then re-test untill you get a good fit.

Only thing is there's now a gap between the ball and the boot.

[stefan]

nice looks the goods

as good as cusco and nice feeling in the hand whilist shifting

but dont worry bout gap

looks 110% better than anything at stuper cheap or ricobahn

[Dish]

Wish I had a fluro green or pink one now :P

[stefan]

get some tonite from your local driving range

[SLIM4ages]

Looks good man, um I really hope those shoes on the passenger floor are not yours. lol

[Todd]

and by the looks somebody has been stuffing there face full of ferero roche this christmas

[Dish]

They're my driving shoes, womans flat shoes, better feel for the pedals...

Haha, nah that's the missus' side of the car, her shits stays on that side, but my shit goes everywhere.

And yeah Ferrero Roche are awesome.

[riojin]

im thinking of doing this but with a pool ball. most likely a 3 or 11 (to match my car). just gonna drill a hole and put a M12-1.25mm nut inside glued in.

in fact im going to buy a set of balls just to do this so i may aswell do a few

[HachiRoku]

Cool idea.

I just recently borrowed a bag full of golf balls from my local driving range, but I think I'll hold out for a fluro one, or one that says 'this ball was stolen from....'

[DRFTPG]

:o i am so doing that!! best mod ever hahahaha almost as cool as me n clintons cigarette lighter drift button!!

[dr1ft-pig]

ive been debating doing a golf ball or a pool ball, i will steal a pool ball from my local pub next time im there

and ill pay the driving range a visit tomorrow :D

[Clinton]

lol nah sonny that dori button couldnt be beaten haha. this is a cool mod! i think ill head to a pub for some black hands

[stefan]

p00l cue ball is harder and way to large to use and harder to drill and more likely to crack

golf ball is winner softer material easier to maniuplate

[jasstv]

is it easy to take of or once you put it on or doesent it come off? :D

[Dish]

I was pondering this before. I guess if you turn the fucker with a pulling up motion it will come off. But then again could possibly even thread of quite well, mine's definately staying for a while, feel is so much better. Sits in my hand awesome.

you have to start with a smaller drill first and move up. always take it slow and let the drill to the cutting and dont force it down. every few seconds pull the drill up before letting it cut some more to allow dust particles to move out of the hole and continue.

this should alow you to drill the pool balls easily without them cracking or chipping.

realistically they are quite big but again its just something else you gotta get used to. after youre used to it itll be fine

[Sherlock]

I started with a 3mm just for a guide hole, then used an 11mm. Fits peeeeeeeerfectly, self-tapped itself n all.

Might be a little different in my car as I've got a KE70 but well worth wasting a golfball on! :P

Thanks for the idea 'slippry'! :2thumbs:

[HRV-00S]

I work at the local golf club, well for the next week any way. So I'll have to stop mowing over all the balls*

*wonders how much a retard would pay on Ebay for one of these? hmmm

[thu187]

lol I can't believe so many people are doing this! :lol:
I like the stock knob I rekn it feels sexy ;)

[riojin]

i like the stocko also. just plain black is the go.

[johnny_08]

is there anything more wack u can put in these cars? :P looks funkey tho, how bout a 9 iron for peddals

[stefan]

wat bout duck tape and cover all the seems up

youll go faster

[DRFTPG]

well seeing as its holidays and im bored im gonna experiment with some creative gear knob's mwahahha
tried the golf ball idea yesterday worked quite well now im thinking about making a mold+resin and alot of length ;)

[stefan]

make custom dildo style ones

or a long knob

[Todd]

sozz soz double postage

[Todd]

although you would perhaps have to go through the embarassment/trauma of heading into your nearest adult shop to purchase a brightly coloured, semi luminescent dildo?

haha nah just make sure u wear a mask when ur dealing with resin.thats shit's carcinogenic (sp?) yo!

[stefan]

it causes cancer just like diet drinks

[Tyrie]

I put a golfball on my T50 shifter yesterday, tried the pool ball but it was too hard and wouldn't screw on without being tapped and I didnt have the right size tap.

I would prefer a stock gearknob but both my T50s came with gay autohektika knobs that pull off in your hand.

[HRV-00S]

This was the best I could do out of my stash of balls :2thumbs:

A big 7 oh for the KE70

[DRFTPG]

:o that looks awsome!!

i am currently in the process of making a mould up for a dildo knob :D pics soon

[stefan]

wat are you gonna cast with?

a resin of some sort

or a polyurethane

liquid nails would work well

[dr1ft-pig]

heres my finished product

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/161857.jpg

[Todd]

haha i think these things look the goods!

[DRFTPG]

i was going to do it with resin and pour it fast so i get bubbles inside it

[stefan]

wouldn't it go bit merky coz of the agitated resin?
\
you could color it would look cool with a few colors in it

[dr1ft-pig]

phuck yeah mix a bit of paint in it

[stefan]

mmm cant wait to see sonnys finished project

[DRFTPG]

might be a week or two till im done but it will be done!! haha

[KE70briskev]

HA! :lol:

[pebbles]

did it in ke

11mm hole

it turns a little bit,

but I'm ok with it
doesnt fly off or anything, still gota twist it to get it off

if i did it again id drill a 10mm hole and then drill with an 11 just to get past the hard shell of the ball,
and then put it on

but yeah, its wikid y0

[stefan]

best fit imo

[nathanhann]

I did this yesterday out of curiosity and it is now staying lol it feels so good.

[pebbles]

yeah at first i thought it was a bit small but i love it now,
beter than the weird autobahn one that was on it form when i got it ( no offense ke70kid if you read this aha)

[Dish]

Mine's still on there. Spins a bit after the car being in the sun all day due to inside being soft but it doesn't bother me. Heaps better than stock. Got a cusco one on the way though.

[aimre]

i did it today in the ke. It goes sweet. Think I'm gonna go and buy a new one and do it again, as mine is some old scratched one.

Anyone cut the gearshift making it a short shift?

[aimre]

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/2/6/5/8/553793.jpg

[Moebius]

Cutting the gearshift lever won't make it a short shift.

[aimre]

^^^^

I'm having the same argument on another forum... Yes it will

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/167721.jpg

Needless to say, i won the argument

[biggo]

it will have a shorter 'throw but it waont have a faster shift

so no its not a short shifter

Well, if my hand shifts at "X" m/s and the distance my hand has to move is halved, my shifts would be twice as quick

[Todd]

man all it is, is simply a cut shifter, not a short shifter.

sure the throw is a smaller distance, which is why you call it a 'short shifter' but all it is in reality is a simple cut regular shifter.

this argument has been had many times.
call it a short shifter if you wish, but the shifts wont be as smooth as what you would get with a real short shift kit.

there are more reasons for this. rather than elaborate, forget about it yes?
thanks

[puzzigully]

who cares, the longer your shifter throw is the more ghetto cred your sled has

[Gullie]

i got a cut shifter and golf ball and feels very good. And no it doesnt make shifting quicker, just has a much better feel IMO

I want to try a white ball from a billiard set.

i had at lease 500mm throw on my stick. thats why I'm seeking advice on shortening the stick. there was no way i could get that beast of a dildo shifter into 5th gear and i could play with the radio in the ke with my hand sitting on the gear stick in 3rd :teehee:



needless to say my car had infinate amount of ghetto cred, i even had randoms come up to me in the hills and ask if my car was the car with the huge dildo shifter

[Sprinter86]

I got a black ball from pool table (Cheers TAFE=D)

Drilled it, tapped it and put on, its a little big at first but once ure used to it its sweet....a really good weight
should of got a '5' ball tho...

[archangel62]

rofl @ dildo shifter street cred.

To be honest I think golf ball gear knobs look kinda stupid, ghetto is good if it's car related but this seems kinda surfy to me, rather than drift. But that's just my opinion, and massive respect for the idea and originality hahaha.

I have loctite. That's if you REALLY like it though. If you know what I mean lol. Oh well, could always like, angle grind/cut it off :lol:

[muncher]

Why have a golf ball? How ridiculous!

Why not try the new hot mod that's taking off all around the world, with these series of drift/sex/awsomeness/hektick stylezzz of gear knobs,



#1 The short shift finger


#2 The fist of rage


#3 Extendo bird


Installation guide,

remove gearbox, place humorous object through hole, take photo.


*copyright muncher & sly1300

[pebbles]

lmao, where can i get one of these short shift fingers?

[Hachi Roku]

lol nice one muncher..

[sly1300]

ha ha ha.

good times.

u forget mention that the fist of rage also give you a "high five"
if you make a successful quick change.

[Sprinter86]

Lol,
The fist of rage also will slap the passenger when they say things like "my VS was better than this" or "My VL Turbo would kill this"
Keep the crew in-line =P
