▀▄ eas | KinematicSpeed Shifters & Shift Knobs
KinematicSpeed - The Race Shifter KinematicSpeed has worked their tails off to create the most refined race shifter option for the BMW community at an affordable price and are pumped to bring this to market! The entire experience from install to use has been optimized through rigorous R&D and countless rounds of prototypes and evaluation. Product Page: https://europeanautosource.com/produ...e36-e46-e9x-m3 Installing and used all kinds of race shifters in their years of building BMW's for track and race duty and knew there was room to improve the offering. Features like one person install capability, an integral boot to seal off the tunnel, fitment within stock consoles, and sealed ball bearings throughout for long term maintenance free operation are just the start with this shifter. The adjustable side travel stops and centering location let you dial in this shifter exactly to your application while the height positions the shifter optimally for quick shifts and less time with hands off the wheel. The cast aluminum base has been FEA optimized to ensure rigidity for the long haul at the lightest weight possible, we've really pulled out all the stops on this one. A few notes on installation:
KinematicSpeed - Speed Shift Knob For those not fully committed to installing a race shifter, KinematicSpeed has created a shift knob to satisfy one goal - enhance your driving experience. Product Page: https://europeanautosource.com/produ...-toyota-models
Tested and proven on race cars, street cars, and track day weapons we know you'll love the confidence inspiring driving experience this knob provides. The industry first attachment method guarantees the most direct connection between you and your gearbox under all circumstances. Never being satisfied with the factory press and snap fit pieces that loosen up or the current aftermarket standard set screws that loosen and slip, we created an entirely new attachment method taking cues from some of the most rugged industrial applications. Utilizing two socket head cap screws that pass through the CNC machined 6061-T6 chassis and thread into the locking collar an enormous clamp load is placed on the shift shaft securing the knob with unparalleled confidence while not leaving a mark on your factory shift shaft, no nicks, burrs, or ugly dimples that typical set screws leave while providing peace of mind that the knob will never budge once installed. The 140mm height of the knob places the shifter in direct proximity to the steering wheel reducing the time required to remove a hand from the wheel to engage the shifter while reducing shift effort and driver fatigue making the shifting experience fast and effortless. Ergonomics are further optimized with the conical shape and dimpled texture achieved through the overmolded construction, this texture provides a comfortable touch point with exceptional grip under all circumstances whether you're sporting driving gloves for a track day, sweaty palms on a hot summer day, or that spirited daily commute, and of course no burning your hand after parking in the sun. All manual sports cars have three primary control touch points, the steering wheel, the pedals, and the shift knob - and we're confident that through rigorous research and development, testing, and the best manufacturing methods, we've created the knob that optimizes one of these three critical touch points. This is the no compromises solution for the competitive performance driver who intends to get the most out of their driving experience. Features
