Oh, and sorry to be a buzz-kill again, but there are legality issues with it not having a shift-pattern.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Hey Wun, Tampered Motorsport are an OMP supplier. They may be able to help you out.

I'm going to hold out for a Skunk2.

We all know that PIG doesn't stand for Persistnace Intergerty and Guts...

We all know GB means Group Buy

If I wanted a 'Good Boy' on my knob I would just use Crzymx

What's the weight of this knob compared to the VooDoo one? The voodoo already seems VERY light compared to the SKunk2...

Skunk is 440 g
voodoo is 171.3971 g
stock is 145.4317 g
Voodoo is 25.96 g heavier than stock; from the pic I expect this OMP knob to be less than stock.

Oh yeah for boags:
Stock rear suspension is 3.934 kg
Stock front suspension is 4.608 kg
HKS Coilovers front is 4.3558 kg
HKS Coilovers rear is 3.4459 kg
~1.5kg unsprung savings in total.

FWIW, I really like this one I had in the sillycar made from nylon stock. Simple, functional, comfortable, not too heavy or light.

If the pitch is the same I will use it in my '5 when I buy one.
