i would but i already have a nice volume control knob..hehe

This looks very good I'll take one

Count me in...

Yup, there is, and I'm sure if there were other RX-8 sites you'd probably find it there too. The smart vendors diversify and try to catch every potential buyer, and considering we're 23,000 members to their 2,200 is makes sense you'd see it here too, doesn't it? ;)

Here I did a hack photochop job to give people an idea (with DIY paint job and correct center logo sticker)

btw this knob is really nice...I recommend everyone gets one

https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...id=68026&stc=1

So the 3 holes on the edges light up or not?

yes they light up and look sweet :)

Looks great what is the installation like, is it a cover or a shaft type piece similar to the AC controls?

Fair enough!
Correctly yes... The 1st image is the new stick on decal. The following 3 images are the old decal. There were posted to show how the knob looks mounted in place on the radio.
I will photochop those images to have the correct look.

Painting the non Rotor edges does look good too. If you did that to yours... why don't you go ahead and post the materials you used to complete the Job or a link to the DIY?
I have no objections and see no reason for you to delete your post.

To answer RL8's Question:
The Knob has Mylar/Epoxy filled holes and the illumination is the back light from the radio lighting so there is NO WIREING required. The whole install takes less than 5 minutes!

Thanks,
Dan

Pull OEM Stock knob off.
Rotor knob comes with its own "D" ring supplied in bag.
Position Decal on knob.
Place "D" ring in knob shaft recess.
Push new knob on radio pin shaft.
Use steering wheel controls so you don't have to twist the rotor upside down!:)

The only reason I mentioned the other site is because there are almost 25 purchases over there and I am ready to get my knob so I hoped some people would go there to sign up so the first delivery would ship. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Out of fairness to everyone, and if Omicron will Authorize, I will combine the total count for required hits to make the GB go forward. If we do this please do not double post. One post in one or the other.

We will keep the GB's separate for respects sake, but we will manage the numbers internally.

looks sweet, sign me up

Thanks for the info! I'll keep checking back to see when the paypal link is ready.

I think you missed "EyeBall Fixer...(o)(x)"....I am still contimplating

Thanks lesper4!
Guess you don't need an eye exam :)

For those that have the old style insert for the Rotary knob, Bob @ Pettit Racing told me to let you know they will send the new style insert and a Pettit insert if you email him:

If you obtained your knob at Elkhart Lake event and you know anyone else who also obtained one there, please inform them that the new emblems are available at no cost. Please inform them to e-mail me at bob@pettitracing.com to request the emblems.
They will need to include their mailing address.

Thanks,

Bob (bob@pettitracing.com)

Got a Pix? or a link?

Here is an image of the package with the 2 Decals 4 years to Supercharge mentioned.
The knob was damaged, thus the red circle. It will not be sold.

It looks like we have a total of 26 now if we are combining both sites. Not trying to be pushy, I just am excited about getting a new "mod" that doesn't cost $500 :rock:

Count me in. Waiting for the PM on next steps.

I am in for this...

Me too.
 

I'm in. Will wait for PayPal post.

Count me in.

I Am In As Well!

I'm in... and it would be easier to just edit the list of buyers in the first post so you don't have to keep reposting the list.

by the way, thanks for setting up the group buy.

I'm in also

I feel the latest post should be current. It also helps me to make sure I did not miss anyone. I was thinking to wait another 24 hrs before I place the order, but based on the numbers pace... I am going to make the order today. Mailings should begin Friday or Saturday. I will order many extra to make sure we can cover orders.
Thanks to everyone who is participating and Omi for allowing this to be set-up!
Dan
