FS: WC Lathe Werks Copolymer WRX Sphere black shift **** (won't get hot or cold)
FS:
I'm selling my WC Lathe Werks Copolymer WRX Sphere shift **** that I had on my WRX. This shift **** is made out of copolymer which means it does not get hot or cold like metal ***** do. I used this shift **** in my car last summer and it never got hot at all. I also got the brass insert with the shift **** which was an additional $20 at the time.
This shiftknob is hand-made from solid acetal copolymer. This material is a hard plastic that will not absorb heat in the summer and won’t freeze in the winter like typical metal *****. This provides an extremely comfortable **** all year long.
This **** can be made with a custom-machined brass thread insert for an extra 60 grams of weight. This makes a significant improvement in shift feel, while also providing stronger threads which resist stripping better.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Copolymer material will not get hot or cold!
2.0" diameter for comfortable size
100 gram weight for a good feel (without brass)
160 gram weight for an even better feel (with brass)
Smooth surface finish
Internal threading provides a quick screw-on installation
Boot lip under **** allows for shift boot to clip on. Keeps stock appearance
**** is drilled deep to sit lower than stock WRX ****!
below is what it looked like in my car with the kartboy short shifter

Thanks for the bump. Yeah it's pretty awesome for the summer or winter. Thinking about just keeping it for the summer since my aluminum **** I'm using right now is gonna be getting crazy hot in the day time. It was so nice coming back to my car and not getting burned by my shift **** :P

Woops forgot the STI/WRX thread pattern were the same. The second picture is one of the stock pictures from their website. First picture is on my car.

This **** feels great and has a good weight to it. I used it for a little bit of time just to see how it felt.
here is the **** to palm ratio

Ah thanks for clearing that up. Yeah this **** wouldn't fit well on the STI because of the boot collar that's designed for the WRX but the thread pitch would be the same for both WRX/STI.
