Fighter Jet style shift knob?

DoomEquation · 07-22-2001, 02:11 AM

Does anyone know of a shift knob for the impreza that

1. looks good?
and
2. Has a button that could be wired to a nos shot?

I am all about getting a button for some nos on my shifter! there would be no better way.

Probably none exist, and probably half of you will just slam me for mentioning nos or call me rice but I still think it would be dope.

yeah but that would look stupid. Im looking for like a momo style ball or forward curve with like a single little red button mounted in a good place. I've seen em for hondas and the like but wanted to know if maybe i could get one too. Thats way cool being able to fire nos right after you engage say second gear in a drag race with just the flick of the thumb.

someone makes exactly what you want... was in 60 seconds... i seen em at the local v8 shop too... little black ball with a red button on top that says something like "go baby go!" around it... like $20 or soemthing

DoomEquation · 07-23-2001, 06:04 PM

Think one would work on an impreza? he he he yeah i saw the one in 60 secs. Thats kind of where i got the idea, that and i figured that if i was shooting nitrous i would NEED AT LEAST ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL for safety and one on the shift to handle the rapid fast nitrous induced shifts, so button on the knob....ENLIGHTENMENT! oh well now all i need to do s find one and figure out wiring it!

DoctorNick · 07-23-2001, 09:36 PM

Might I be the the voice of warning about a stupid drunk kid hitting the button or while you idle in traffic, or if you grip it awkward style, or if someone else drives your car or or or....but man if I had an manual I WOULD DO IT#!@

NateDogg · 07-24-2001, 12:26 AM

get a aftermarket wheel and re-wire the horn buttons thats what im probably going to do, MOMO makes a ton of nice ones.

DoomEquation · 07-24-2001, 02:58 AM

yes but i like cruise control, and if my newly nitous fed impreza decides to head on a diesel truck that momo wheel aint gonna deploy an airbag for me.

peepshow · 07-24-2001, 12:37 PM

Air bags are DANGEROUS. If it isn't a head on collision at 45mph or so you could have all kinds of weird airbag deployment injuries. I think Car and Driver had an editorial about it a while back. I disabled mine.

I like that shift knob in 60 seconds too 'cept I want mine to say scooby snack's instead

Subies · 07-24-2001, 05:08 PM

elgorey · 07-26-2001, 04:58 PM

ooohhh.....clutch in, accidentally press button, shift, clutch out, BOOM
sounds scary to me

SHADOWES · 07-26-2001, 06:26 PM

just rig up a on off switch in the dash somewhere that could work like a safty. when you are racing just flip the switch on to "arm" the system then push the button on the nobe to "shoot" the nos
