They're not harness pads on the VX-O2/Mission To Mars.

OBX TOMCAT O/D AUTOMATIC SHIFT KNOB....appears as
as some would say to be a knock-off of the Razo shifter knob used by others @ VX-info. I'll let you all know if it installs the same and post pic's. Here is the official site showing color choices:

It's got cupholders! Two of them!

Enough said.

hmm...the e-brake position and such is just like a BMW Z8 I was checking out tonight...

Hmm... wouldn't be too hard to build a center console like that with fiberglass and CF... so many ideas... so little money. Scratch that... no money.

Well, I finally got my OBX TOMCAT shifter that I ordered...took about 15 days to get from abtivan.com

I ordered the red/carbon shifter...disappointed that the red isn't the same shade as portrayed on the the various websites ;eekr; ...more like a mooroon/red ;oop; (actually had to check the spelling of mooroon...seemed wrong! :laughp: lol.)

So I've decided (and already finished) carefully disassembling the shifter for painting...just got to decide on what shade of red to go with. My shifter plates I'm buying from Ron should match the VX red door panels...So I should either match them or the MOMO low range shifter I already have installed. Probably the latter. :coolr:

I figure I'll go ahead and institute the fix I read about on other posts about Razo's vibrating..as it seems the OBX will do the same before I've even installed it. Figure I'll hit Home Depot today or tomorrow for the following:

A package of 3/32" Dia. Heat Shrink Tubing cut pieces. This is to put over the spring and hit with a heat source to cover it and keep it from vibrating against the inside of the shifter. After that, I'll put some 100% silicon grease in for good measure.
Probably going to clear rtv silicone the overdrive button and not use it...Wormgod and others say theirs rattles and the OBX appears to be same in design. Wouldn't mind hooking up the wires to SOMETHING if I can think of anything! :wtfr:

Also plan to locate the following from Home Depot:
6-pound tension spring from Home Depot (part #SP-9706) Just to increase the force over the stock spring on our shifters..as mentioned in the Grant Eaton fix.

On the upside...this shifter gives you a black rubber shaft cover that you cut to length...so I shouldn't have to either paint or black electrical tape the round shifter lever on the VX after the chrome square tube is removed.

Ta Ta for now!

All done for now...just wait'in for my shifter plates from Ron. The OBX Tomcat A/T OD shifter installs just as the RAZO shifters of the the same type. I painted mine with red/black "rubberized" paint from Lowes. Figured it would be durable and give a nice grip to the shifter. Very happy with how it turned out! I put shrink-wrap on the spring in the shifter along with silicone grease and it is dead quiet! Glad I read the fix here at Vehicross.info! I just put silicone grease in the OD button instead of RTV and tie-wrapped the wires under the console for possible future use....machine guns anyone?

I couldn't get Home Depot to help me out with the spring from the Grant Eaton fix. They were of no help to me. They only had extension springs in stock...no compression springs. I gave them the part #SP-9706 and they said that they only order what is on the shelf....go figure. I tried the spring manufacturers website (Prime Line "HandyMan" Springs) but they only list Home Depot, Lowes, Sears as retailers for their products. The Lowes in Erie, PA carries another brand of springs, Haven't tried Sears. My shifter is working good with the original spring so far...the key releases as it should.

I finally decided to give the dash and console a bit of "spiffing-up". I've always thought about painting the dash trim red from it's stock silver/gray appearance in order to complement the red/black seats and door panels.

I just got a G2 Brake caliper paint kit..."red" to play with too when I can get to it.

Hopefully my new wheels will come off back-order before the next
Ice-Age.

C' ya later!
