The custom knob I had made has no set screw. Solved the issue by having it fit the stock threading with Locktite. The top plate with the shift pattern fits into the knob with a minor amount of pressure, but easy to pop out for setting it straight... once the knob was screwed tight, the top...

It came to $450 total.

I had a Raceseng knob swapped from day one pretty much when I got the car, but found a woodworking shop in Santa Cruz, CA that made me this one... got an aluminum insert from a 993 generation 911 that the shop worked with to create the final product. Wood is Cocobolo with a gloss expoxy finish...

I've had mine since July of last year, right around 1300 miles on it, and other than an issue with paint on the front bumper at delivery (damaged at the Port, NOT bubbling, etc) that was resolved by the dealer, I've had zero issues. Granted the car is garaged and only driven in good weather. I...

Hey Rupes, if you are also planning on doing a 3rd cat delete, def. the kind of shop that you can trust to do that kind of work. Let us know how you get on with it.

I can recommend 714Technik: https://www.714technikpdx.com/ Mike (the shop owner) did my 'break in' oil change. I bring the wife's Macan S to them as well. They also do a lot of performance tuning on other high end cars. They are on the NE side, but easy to get to.

For those in the PDX area wondering about oil change service, etc. I'd posted some shops that I was going to check into for my 1000 break in Oil change. Settled on this shop in the NE... https://www.714technikpdx.com/ Mike, the owner and lead tech, is a super skilled and passionate guy...

I bought a K&N but haven't had it installed yet, was planning on doing that at 1000 miles along with an oil change... I'd not heard of these causing issues in the past, although I've never bothered with doing it in any of my previous cars so I hadn't really looked into it. Having read this...

So if we have the lotus trickle charger, it should have similar permanent connectors and the Adapter you mention is all you'd need? Haven't even opened the box yet, since its still nice weather and I'm driving the car every few days.

Also went with the Raceseng knob... Nicely weighted, really feels nice in the hand, and I think looks nicer than the OEM knob (also without that hole in the front!)

A+ for effort on this one :p

I'll spare everyone the details on my car's damage from either Port/Transport/Dealer, but as it gets sorted, I'm hoping to have the car end of this week. @Pdxem1ra, how was King's Cross?
