Old cabin air filter

New Moddiction shift knob and shift boot

The knob is awesome. Perfect size and weighting, and the textured finish has a great feel. The red is obviously darker in normal light, matching the car. The boot is OK... it's better than OEM but it's still vinyl. Need to make a real leather one sometime.

Steve do you have the stock shift knob in your 5.0?

I have a Grabber Pony ball shift knob. White acrylic with black gear pattern and the chrome jam nut since I have the 401A boot. I like it a lot. Kind of an old school feel to it.

This is the only pic I have of it on my phone.

I also have the Lloyd's 5.0 floor mats as you can tell.

Steve, Dan...

I have the MGW knob. It's essentially all the same as the others. A round cue/8 ball, modified to have threads, and etchings/paint for gear labels. Like Steve said, it's old school. Versus the stock knob, the round cueball shape feels better.

I also have the lloyd's 5.0 mats, but currently under a plastic beater mat. I'm working on a better transparent/lucent mat to help see the 5.0 logo better. Either that or I buy another 5.0 mat to put on top :D

S2000 passed emissions & safety inspection today... yay now I can go to the DMV to stand in line and pay my sales tax and registration fees. :|

The MSRP for a New S2K wasn't nearly 40K if I remember correctly...

Honda was selling them for ~ 32-34K I believe which was a steal all things considered. A nice low mileage CPO S2K can be had for under 25K now which is really a steal.

You'd have to spend A LOT more to get a comparable drivers car with the exception being the MX-5.

But yeah I think an effort should be made in educating people what makes a good drivers car.

As mentioned there is far too much emphasis on HP / test track #'s. Many of the funnest cars to drive are not amongst the quickest.
