The wait is over, Hebi Bebi being shipped
Got the email from Bullitproof my Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi is on it's way. Hope every one on the waiting list got the same good news.
|
Yup I got that too. Too damn excited
|
got it today as well, forgot i had to pay for shipping:-/ but still pretty stoked! the rep said they should arrive sometime next week
|
Who ever gets it first needs to throw up some pictures. Gods honest truth is I still can't believe I paid so much for a shift knob, and that I'm so stupid excited about some thing that doesn't make the car faster.
|
^true that lol
Anyway got mine too but the excitement has dissipated due to the extremely long wait time But still happy I'm getting it before Christmas :) |
I hope it comes with a bottle of jdm lube, it makes insertion easier :icon17:
|
^hmm sounds appropriate!
|
:stirthepot: :rofl2:
|
From what I heard some had paid for the originals I think we made out at the price.
|
Just received my tracking number. Should be in by mon/tues.
|
Everyone in the lower 48 states should have received an email either collecting shipping payment or providing your FedEx tracking information.
Can't wait to see this thread blow up with pictures! ;) |
Look what came in the mail today!! I know it's not on the car yet, but it's just too good not to post.

is it just me or does it look chipped on the left corner?
|
Yea, there's a small blemish in the finish on mine. Hardly noticeable in person.
|
Wtb!
|
Got my email yesterday, should be here Tuesday.

I paid $420 for my authentic (non-remade) Tommy Kaira Hebi Babi. So yeah you guys got a great deal lol for the rep's |
Give it a minute birdman. It was another short run. I'm sure the prices will jump again.
|
What's the hubbub with these shift knobs? I don't really understand what makes them so great? Not trying to troll, just trying to understand. =)

Putting the price aside (which is crazy high in my opinion) and just focusing on the knob itself, the shape is one of the best feeling shift knobs shapes I have ever felt. The top round portion is perfect for shifting into 1st, 3rd and 5th, while the ridges allow you to grab with your fingers tips to pull back into second and fourth.
|
^can't wait to put mine on
I'll probably do it tonight... hopefully my jdmpw shift knob will come off easily |

One thing with it unless the remakes were fixed, is that you will have to put a washer under the knob on the shifter to be able to get the turtle straight. I haven't done it yet but I plan to when a washer comes along :tup: |

I just used a small amount of loctite and it holds very well. I didn't use nearly as much as Nissan used on the OEM knob lol. |
I never use that on shift knobs. I'd rather want to be able to take the knob off and bring it with me if im in a bad neighborhood.. keep it safe. Kinda like some steering wheels lol. Plus if I ever interchange my shift knobs.
the washer gives enough lift and can be removed easier than Loctite it to the shifter. Unless these new knobs don't come threaded. Idk about that. It should though. |
Rowen said they where going to be exactly the same as the original run.
|
I tried the washer, but I didn't like the fact that it would loosen while I was driving. The loctite keeps it solid and with this knob I don't have to worry about damaging it with a strap wrench.
|
Just received mine today. Worth every penny, looks and feels amazing!

Is "Tommy Kaira" one word or two? :icon08:
|
Apparently one.

Rowen bough Tommy Kaira and this is the first batch made under Rowen management, probably using the same Tommy Kaira factory. So really - no difference. Just under new management.
