The car has been out for 9 years now and there's even staged upgrades. The newest trend now is to go with GT turbos instead of the standard K04 upgrade. Have you tried Ziggy's shift knobs. I have had the same shift knob in all of my talons. I refuse to sell it too. =] 2g awd, Back to dsms here I come.

If so, what thread is it?? I wouldn't mind doing a couple with the Audi logo and just putting them on my site....something like: https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16213&cat=311&page=1 "bluebird" worlds fastest scooter ridden by me "Whitebird" RIP

Ziggy, I'd love that. The stock threading is 12mm x 1.5. Here's a recent thread from a company who just developed a weighted shift knob. With the Audi guys, as close to OEM looking the better. They consider almost everything aftermarket 'rice'. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=233614 6-MT Stage II B5 Audi S4

I don't imagine that anyone has the Audi logo in a format my CAD can read? .igs, or .dxf?? "bluebird" worlds fastest scooter ridden by me "Whitebird" RIP

Ziggy, if you remember, you did an awesome Group Buy for custom shift knobs for another car forum I frequent - C7 Performance. They turned out awesome and I actually had one in my car before I sold my Celica back in 2004. 6-MT Stage II B5 Audi S4

My cad lists TONS of formats, but not .cdr. Worst case would be to get a .jpg and redraw it myself in CAD. "bluebird" worlds fastest scooter ridden by me "Whitebird" RIP

Are you planning to be at the meet, Grant? "bluebird" worlds fastest scooter ridden by me "Whitebird" RIP

Are you planning to be at the meet, Grant? If you're planning on bringing a shift knob I will be. I have a tap and die set so I can tap it myself if you don't have time. 6-MT Stage II B5 Audi S4

I have them pre-drilled for the M10 x 1.25 thread that the DSM's use. I should find time today to get one drilled, tapped, and engraved...
