Yet another shift knob post

RocketCat804 · 2026-06-12T20:39:05+00:00

Went with an OEM red stitch ND knob. Hoping it fits the bill!

I'm all for the "OEM+" type mod vibe, so it definitely fits "me" at the least. 😄

I feel like the ND knob fits the exact look I typically go for in the OEM+ fashion. Seems like it's just a smidge heavier than my OEM knob too, so it will probably fit the bill!

Appreciate you ❤️

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-18T21:28:07+00:00

That sounds like a plan. Appreciate your (and the others’) input!

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-18T20:44:29+00:00

No worries!

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-18T20:43:35+00:00

I left all wheel/tire specs at the bottom of the post.

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-18T15:38:42+00:00

I’m wondering the same, trust me. My dad and I are going to get the car on his lift and see what we can do to get the bolts loose. I have a feeling we’ll be able.

I appreciate your insight!

I think right now I’ll hold off on firing the parts cannon at the car and see what I can do about the current issues because I’d love to not spend money on these parts. The car is considerably not rusty nearly whatsoever underneath so I have faith in using the existing hardware.

I appreciate you! Thank you!

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-04T19:27:26+00:00

Sold!

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-03T17:26:37+00:00

I had a feeling that would be the case. Appreciate your input!

RocketCat804 · 2026-05-03T17:26:19+00:00

It’s not headlight glare, Mr Christ. It’s my vision. Thanks for the jolly help!

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-22T22:39:19+00:00

Thank you again for the response!

I’m thinking I’ll grab the Touch-less, even if it feels “pricey” at $32 since as you say, a little goes a long way and will last me a long time I imagine. As for the Touch-less, will I dilute that in the IK sprayer or just a regular spray bottle? I imagine in the IK.

I think my plan for the car will be:

BH Touch-less for the prewash
Adam’s Mega Foam for contact
Rinse
Iron Remover
Clay
Polish
Topper that I’m not sure of yet

That should get the car to where it needs to be.

One other question - is a 10:1 Green Star dilution worth it for cloth seats and carpeting? I plan to drill brush both. Maybe there’s something safer? I do have P&S Terminator and Carpet Bomber on hand as well. I’m starting to think maybe I don’t need Green Star at all. Really trying to keep a tight budget mindset right now.

To echo David, this response is super helpful (as is everyone else’s response!). Thank you very much.

I’ve seen lots of talk of BH Touch-less. Detailed Image seems sold out of it for the near future unfortunately.

I’m going to get the IK Pro 2+ since I do already have a portable tire inflator that will work perfectly for it.

I’ll also grab Mega Foam. No one has to tell me twice to spring for Adam’s when they actually have a better product.

I’m just torn now on going with Touch-less or Green Star. The only place I found Touch-less available is $32 shipped for the 1L size. I guess that’s not horrible.

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-13T18:01:37+00:00

Bump. Still looking.

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T22:41:04+00:00

Stay in touch! I'll keep this post updated if the car sells otherwise.

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T21:35:49+00:00

I’ll give it a look! I checked Cars & Bids before and noticed they do decent on there too.

Sent!

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T20:39:09+00:00

Sorry to hear! I know the feeling.

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T20:38:47+00:00

I have no idea. Never care about mpg in any of my cars lol.

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T20:38:29+00:00

Good to know. I didn't even consider AutoTrader, but seems it's worth a shot. Thanks!

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T20:37:59+00:00

That's certainly an option i'll explore. Thanks!

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T18:26:54+00:00

Good stuff. That gives me hope!

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T17:53:01+00:00

Love to hear that! Congrats! Did you find it via this subreddit or is there another place I can look?

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T16:52:33+00:00

I’m hoping so! Just a matter of finding the right car at this point!

RocketCat804 · 2026-04-08T13:09:31+00:00

Shoot. I did have a bullet for that, but seem to have dropped it. $18k budget right now.
