Exclamation Look what I've just installed

It's a solid brashed aluminum console replacement with shift gate and momo stick. Plus aluminum trim on handbrake.

My buddy works in the shop and did for me for reasonable price. Anybody willing to buy?

Nice Photo Chop. I like the shift gate also. But the color of the dash is not my taste.

Yeah, the picture is faked, but I might be interested in the shift gate, if it was cheap enough that I wouldn't feel bad taking it out if I did like it (or if I got to check it on someone else's Z)

Oh man... shiftgates are a pain! My buddys now-sold 'rossa had a shift gate. Very different driving skills necessary... lol. Not to mention that 1st gear was down and left.

Yeah guys, you got me. 30 minutes of work for nothing
Of course I didn't have intention to sell. Just wanted to see what the demand would be.

Now it's quite clear that at least shift gate is thing to produse. I really don't see what so difficult about making it? If I had a shop it's an couple hours of CAD drawing, piece of aluminum, 6 rivets, and then some day or so for final fitting. And then you could sell it for what? 100 - 150 let's say?

Yep, that's an original Ferrary shift gate cut. I just replaced that aluminum ball they usually have with Momo.

And somehow I'm pretty sure that there are no problems with shifting in Ferrary. You know what those guys sayin - We are here to race, and then we produse some street cars to cover expences... Why would they go for look without performance?

I haven't driven one but it seems that it would be more of a pain to shift having to get int the gates exactly, I would think that fast shifting would be tough if you don't hit the gate right on.
