GB: Pool ball shift knobs

[Phlip]

I am happy to bring to you the pool ball shift knob project.
Premium members saw first round, I posted the last few remaining in general for sale section, it appears I have enough interest to set up a full group buy, now...
This was the "public" one:
http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=140283
This is what the set looks like, for color comparison:

I have a cue in my car, I this is the one that is now in Wei240's car, mounted on my shifter for photographs:

And the one that I am ACTUALLY using, mounted on my stocker:

I will start this thread with those that have expressed interest, to this point... Dibs were called by some who'd missed on the original premie thread, and now a couple since I went public, here is the list to this point:
Cue - available
1 ball - available
2 ball - mikey976 (paid)
3 ball - The Head (paid)
4 ball - Dax
5 ball - available
6 ball - BillyTheChamp
7 ball - birthday gift to a friend, don't ask
8 ball - Gaelen (paid)
9 ball - GSXRJJordan
10 ball - available
11 ball - lucky7 (paid)
12 ball - available
13 ball - Kouki (paid)
14 ball - available
15 ball - available

Cost is $35 shipped to the US and $45 shipped to Canada. Paypal accepted, PM/IM me about payment... I am in central (piedmont, Greensboro to be exact) NC for local folks...

... I will let you know when to PM, anyone looking to do so early may PM me for information.

update
I have a 1 *SPOKEN FOR* ready to ship.

[Kouki]

Put me down for either the 5 or 13, I'd prefer the 13 but if it's spoken for I'd do the 5. I will paypal right away when you let me know. Also you know what'd be pretty cool too? If you used a set of the marblized balls for shift knobs I think that'd be pretty bad ass. But yeah I'm in for sure so mark it down!

[Phlip]

^^^ You're down for the 13.

... paypal address callmep[email protected]
Turnaround time will be a couple weeks, possibly as many as 3 (check my reviewed thread, I am not here to fuck you over). All shipping is USPS, because I work 2 miles from a post office.
If your SHIPPING address is not the same as your paypal, PLEASE let me know.

Again, I repeat:
1:
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/4060/onear4.jpg

... still remains from the last set and can ship as early as tomorrow.

The list in my first post is updated as soon as I receive PM/responses, I will let you know personally if someone else has already taken what you've requested.


*UPDATE*
1 and is spoken for, first post updated for everyone who has sent me a PM or inquiry.

[tbowzer]

Ill take the one ball. pm sent

[Phlip]

^^^ Got it in right now, you've got PM

[the head]

I will take the 11 sending PM now

[bigOdom1]

dibs on eight ball

[Phlip]

Sorry, the eight had already been spoken for
Head, I have responded to both your PMs

[azndoc]

The balls are awesome. Awesome product by an awesome seller. I still gotta put up pics of mine. Thanks again Phlip.

[GSXRJJordan]

YUP YUP ~ get on this suckas so I can get my 9 ball

[Phlip]

Everyone, the balls are due for delivery in the next couple days here, then will be drilled/tapped and ready for shipment.
"the head," your 11 will go out this week, the 3 when the set is done.

[azndoc]

YUP YUP ~ get on this suckas so I can get my 9 ball

Dude Jeff you are my number one fanboy huh, now your getting the same ball as I have. Wha........

Phlip for President

[ch1873857]

asdfsfsac

[Phlip]

any left?

asdfsfsac

Yes, my first post is updated and accurate for availability.
#14 is in my possession and ready to ship, all others should be back and ready to ship shortly, some people have called for what they want first, I work on a first come first serve basis.

[derek_s13]

pm'd u PHLIP.

i want the 14.





a lot.

[Phlip]

You've got a response Derek, I am sure you'll like that answer.

[ch1873857]

damn, i wanted that 14. how about the 15? i guess let me know when you have it ready to ship

[Phlip]

damn, i wanted that 14. how about the 15? i guess let me know when you have it ready to ship

He got in on the 14 I had in hand and ready to go, the 14 and 15 are still available from the set and both should be ready to ship shortly, feel free to paypal anytime, and let me know which one you want.

[lucky7]

is the 11 avialable still? or did 'the head' purchase that one? he inquired about the 11, but according to your list, he bought the 3. wondering if by chance it hasnt been updated yet, or if there is a mistake. at any rate, i would like the 3 or the 11 if you still have them. ill be out of town till tuesday night, but i'll be happy to send you $ via paypal first chance i get upon confirmation. thanks.

He paid for the 11 and the 3, I had an 11 in my house and ready to ship, it has now been shipped to him... The 3 is coming from the whole set, he has already paid for it as well, the 11 from the set is all yours if you're interested.

[lucky7]

money sent for the 11 ball. thank you!

[Phlip]

money sent for the 11 ball. thank you!

Money received, list has been updated, everyone on the list will ship as soon as I have them back from drilling. Thank you to everyone for being patient with me!

[lucky7]

cool. thanks again.

[derek_s13]

so, they're real billiard balls being tapped...

BUT

do they all thread on straight. meaning, does the number read perpendicular to the seats?

[Phlip]

Derek, that is situation-dependent, I just screwed the 2 I have here in my room with me onto my stock shifter sitting here next to me, one did, the other was a couple degrees off... It's kinda difficult to MAKE them screw all the way down perfectly that way, as in it is just not an exact science...
My personal is a cue ball, no marking/numbering on it, so I never thought of it in that manner.

[lucky7]

i was thinking about that. but if the case is, its not centered properly. i think some thread-lock may just do the trick. assuming its strong enough to keep it in place. we'll soon find out. im not overly concerned about it myself. its just a really cool idea IMO, and im glad i came across this when i did.

['90RPS13]

Yeah, I tossed mine on and it lined up perfect. Nice and tight. I imagine just toss some threadlock on it and be done with it. They are definately nice. I love mine.

[Irukandji]

Worse comes to worse just get a nut and tighten it up towards the ball when you get it in the position you want.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

so, they're real billiard balls being tapped...

BUT

do they all thread on straight. meaning, does the number read perpendicular to the seats?

mine lined up perpendicular to the seats perfectly the first time i put it on.:fruit:

[Bryants95240sx]

mine did as well

[bigOdom1]

another satisfied and straight in line here too
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u283/odomandr/P4250010.jpg?t=1177634422

[derek_s13]

mine's pretty far off. almost 180 degrees.

but check it out. i was thinking....

teflon tape?
nut under the shift knob?
deal with it?


nah.

stuffed some newspaper (the one phlip packed w/ the knob) into the hole w/ a pen.
trial and error til it was perfect. you'll find the newspaper absorbs well, and gives a
super-snug fit. i was very surprised at how well it stays too. been beating it for a
few days, and it's stayed perfectly straight and solid.



exceedingly simple. hope it helps someone.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

You B.Z's better pick these up!
+10000 to Phil for mine!
2 track days and still goin!
I<3 my blue ball shift knob!

[mikey976]

gettin anxious , waiting for my 2 blue ball lol, i kno sounds funny
my 15 dollar advance auto shifter is fallin off lol

[Phlip]

They're about done, guys...
Talked to my guy the other day, he was working on getting them done when we spoke, I am waiting too, I have another idea or 2 I will be introducing as well.

['90RPS13]

I am down for another one.

+1 for the Shift Knobs. Teh shit! buy one, NOW!

[Phlip]

*UPDATE*
... All are drilled and tapped, should be back to me in a couple of days, I will ship to all who have paid already.
Alec, if you want another one, I will tell you when to come by the house.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Phil knobs pwn.

[GSXRJJordan]

Dude Jeff you are my number one fanboy huh, now your getting the same ball as I have. Wha........

Kiss my a$$ FMF man, you're just lucky you got the first 9 ball. I thought about getting one to match the color of my car, but they don't have Red/Silver/Black/Polished as a color option at a billiards place :keke:

Phlip, I'll send ya paypal as soon as I can check my balance on my card and see positive numbers ~ Weds at the latest.

[Phlip]

Sounds good to me, I should have them here and ready to ship in the next couple days here, waiting on shipping myself.

[phrozen]

hella old school did that like 4 years ago.. man haventlogged on here in a long time

my friend still uses it to this day when i sold him the car

['90RPS13]

Phillip, you got any green balls? I have to match on my new Jade Green Hatch. Purple just isnt cutting it on this one.

[Phlip]

14 (green stripe) remains uncalled, and keep in mind that the cue will match just about anything as well

[fromxtor]

Alec's going to be on MTV with his collection of shift knobs, "I wear a different one everyday." :keke:

[Phlip]

[Kouki]

I can't wait to get it. I'm tired of my 6" bubbly dildo knob, its just way too long for me. I should get the knob about the same time my new shifter arrives too so that's kick ass!!! Thanks alot, I'll also post up a pic when she gets here and is on my car.

[Phlip]

NEW PRODUCT, people:
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3819/stbbsnby2.jpg
Snooker balls, all solid in color, and they are a LITTLE (maybe about 1/8") smaller than a standard pool ball.
Pricing will be the same, $35 shipped to the US, $45 to Canadia the set has not been purchased yet, but will be just as is in the picture and is open for pre-orders. Once I have enough interest to not get burned, I flip the switch and set it in motion.

[Phlip]

Everyone who has requested an 8 outside of the set has a PM right now.
In fact, if the ball you asked for is taken by someone else (standard pool ball, Snooker only comes in the set), PM me and we can work it out.

[fliprayzin240sx]

There's this guy named Philip who's $35 richer...


Try not to make mine cockeyed.

[modestmouse]

Is this actually only for premium members? I've really got my eye on that cueball!

[Phlip]

Is this actually only for premium members? I've really got my eye on that cueball!

No, this is general population.
I'd rolled out the first round to premium members before I did this, kind of as a "pilot," and that cue ball is available.
Paypal is [email protected], $35 in the US/APO, $45 to Canada

[Phlip]

Ladies & Gentlefolk:
What James (bamaboy) got was the first of a special edition, hell I don't even have one myself in my own car.
I did NOT photograph it before I packed it and shipped.
The onus of the posting of pictures lies with him

[GSXRJJordan]

Phlip ~ paid last week, $35 from [email protected], and all the people I told about the shift knob are startin to think I made the whole thing up... I can't have that, sir, I just can't :)

[mr_240sx]

[Phlip]

No, I am working on finishing up this set and custom orders before I take on anything else.
I'm nearing my wit's end and feel a special sympathy for people that do this shit for a living.

*edit*
Just got off the phone, USPS sucks; they're shipping out to me for a 3rd time in the next couple days here.

[240rb]

Beautiful Elephant Balls for the next round please.

[DOOK]

he's currently trying to find me a snow white cue for me to match my yokota wheel.

[Phlip]

Beautiful Elephant Balls for the next round please.

http://www.insidepool.com/order/images/TNEBBEAU.jpg

I looked into those, the amount I would have to charge to avoid getting assraped would likely miss by a longshot.

[exitspeed]

Figured that. You know those are pimp like:
http://www.moviepublicity.com/image_assets/mack_dvd.jpg

[jkeisser]

awesome..
are these just drilled and tapped?
or is there metal sleeves that are threaded inside?

[Phlip]

awesome..
are these just drilled and tapped?

Drilled and tapped, Phenolic Resin is plenty strong enough to not shatter on pool tables the world over.

[bigOdom1]

http://www.insidepool.com/order/images/TNSTBBCA.jpg

next round and i call the eight if it happens

[exitspeed]

Whatch'ya got left big homie?

I wanted to hold some balls in my hand (hhehehehe) to see how it felt before biting the bullet. Went and shot some stick with my pops yesterday and realized I'd like it.

[PANGES]

Damn. These are dope as hell. haha.

[exitspeed]

Mines on it's way! All Black Cue ball. Pics as soon as it comes in.

[mr_240sx]

Phlip did you get my payment alright?

[Phlip]

Yes I did, Mats, and shipped you out on my lunch break yesterday.
USPS hates Canadia, so she said it'd be 6-10ish days

[exitspeed]

Dude, i got mine last night and put it on within 1 min of opening the box. Holy fuckin BA! I know I fail without pics, but I'll have some up soon. I took some last night, just didn't get'em uploaded.

+1 on these. All Black Cue Ball = super baller!

Thanks Phlip for hookin a brotha up!

[DOOK]

damn it P, I may have to go all black since we can't find a white white cue ball......hmmmmm

[Phlip]

I got the last 2 solid blacks the shop I normally go to for "specialties" had, none of the others even had those.
I sold White Mel that one Tuesday.
I can check my online source and see what I can scare up when I get home to my bookmarks

[Gjohnson7]

I call the next 2 ball!!! I'll have to make sure I keep up on this thread. I will need the next 2 or 10 ball you have available. (perfer the 2 ball)

Just spoke with my partner in this and we're willing to go ahead with the Snooker set in this, and my memory is not so bad, even if it seems that alcohol had eroded it... This is what they look like:

[mr_240sx]

like i said before Phlip..... pm me when you need payment for that red snooker ball

[DOOK]

can you get 00-04 legacy shifter pattern P? :D j/k, I'm gonna stay stockish for this one.

[Phlip]

Dook:
I know that the THREAD pattern fits Nissan and Misterbitchy (as in the dude who will be my brother in law has an eclipse), so the question you present lies outside of my area of expertise (or even interest)

[DOOK]

subies and nissan share the same wheel lug thread pitch, wonder if the shifters do too? Hmmm... I may have to check into that.

[S14DB]

Subie knobs are m12x1.25

[kafanylovesme]

Any purple balls? I want one if you have something purple.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

do you have 3 ball now? or a possile date as to when the snooker may come through? i want a red shifter!

btw. mine is till doing great from the very first premie sale! i don;t want anybody else's balls in may car but yours philip!

[Phlip]

Alex;
Don't have the 3, the only "numbered" ball I have left is a purple-striped 12...
Snooker will be ordered as soon as I have enough to not take a loss... I can put you down for one of the red snooker balls, if you're interested

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

yeah you can put me down for one!

[Phlip]

Last previous post is edited, thanks Alejandro.
To everyone else: that is 4 confirmed outside of myself, 3 more and this is on.

[DOOK]

Subie knobs are m12x1.25

if that is what these are getting set for P I would take the solid black one I think. Let me know via PM and I can paypal asap.

No, the blue one will NOT be leaving my possession, I am not being talked out of this one, just not going to happen... The black, however, is open for "reservation," if you're interested. The cost is 35 shipped, but no one is to pay anything yet.

[exitspeed]

That black on better go to someone coo...

[d-wade]

Phlip, I would like the all black cue ball...If their still available? thanks

[Phlip]

Phlip, I would like the all black cue ball...If their still available? thanks

Black cue is not, but the black from the Snooker ball set is open to be spoken for if you're interested.
2 more people and I greenlight and begin taking pre-orders on them.

[bamaboy]

Phlip i think if you do any more black cue balls ever you should definitely have a vote to see who is cool enough to buy it. 3 people make a democracy, that means you, mel, and I should have to give the nod.

[Phlip]

Hell, you and Mel have the last 2 I was able to get, I sold Mel the one I was using after only having had it like 2-3 days as it were... The shop that I got them from is apparently looking into preserving you guys' exclusivity, since they have not had one since I got those 2.

[Phlip]

[bigOdom1]

[Kuzumi]

what about a white cue?

[bigOdom1]

come on someone wants a damn good shifter. i have the eight ball from a previous buy, and it feels great and has a good weight to it. this will be even better cause it will fit in the hand like a nice butt get in on this

[bigOdom1]

[DALAZ_68]

I'll keep my eye on this thread until you have blue balls.

[Phlip]

The only blue I will have next will be the blue snooker ball, and I am not selling that one out from under myself.

[S14DB]

I'm surprised no one has gone after the brown ball...

[Phlip]

There has been a PM sent down through everyone in my list in the post 3 up from this one.
To the rest of you:
I am ordering the snooker balls on Friday, May 2... Anyone not on that list can GET on that list with a PM and paypal to [email protected] $35 shipped is the price, as has been all along.

[bamaboy]

to anyone who is debating on whether to buy one of these or not, let me be the first to tell you that the size, weight, and shape is as perfect as it could be. I took my $70 nismo shifter off after I got my black cue ball (grabs nuts to celebrate the exclusivity) and it's still in that little compartment above the radio......you can't go wrong with this thing.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/byggbamaboy1626/100_0763.jpg

[Phlip]

I still remember you IM'ing me at like 4am when I was intoxicated and talkative and let that cat out of the bag... That pushed me into getting 2, then Mel wanted one, so I sold to him and couldn't get another. S'cool though, I will have a blue Snooker ball in a few days here.
You should get one for your 240, James.

[bamaboy]

I am getting rid of the 350z....could you drill these in a different size? If so we could work out a swap for the OG Black Cue ball in exchange for another color maybe????

According to the results of my Google search, (http://www.xr-underground.com/forum/showthread.php?p=198235) the answer to that is "yes"

[Rogue240sx]

You just have Snooker balls left or do you have any normal pool balls? let me know what you have please.

[Phlip]

Right now I just have the snooker balls en route to me and ONE regular pool ball left; a purple-striped 12 ball, anyone interested is more than welcome to it.

I am wanting to say yes I will do another standard set, what I am NOT willing to do is say when... I will blow through the snooker set first, and if interest is enough for the standard balls, then we'll do another of those.

[240love]

if theres ever an 8 ball or black one lmk

[kingkilburn]

Any news or ETA?

[Phlip]

Any news or ETA?

Last I was told, there was a delay in the finishing of the drilling/tapping, this was on Wednesday... I was last told that they would be shipped to me in a matter of days, I am terribly sorry for the delay, gentlemen.

[cali240sxdrifter]

can I get one for the S2000?

[Phlip]

can I get one for the S2000?

If the S2000 is what I think it is, 10x1.5, then unfortunately not at current... If it is 10x1.25, then I got (or will have) you, PM me.

[Adam496]

If this is open to reg members i'll take a red one

[Phlip]

If this is open to reg members i'll take a red one

Yes, open to regular members... Wait on my PM before paying anything please

[Andrew Bohan]

too bad there is no 17 ball :cry:

[cali240sxdrifter]

damn, thread size on the S2000 is a 10mm x 1.5... Let me know if you could do one in that size, i can probably get a few more people (S owners) to jump in too

[GSXRJJordan]

Phlip, I'm ready for my snooker-shifter! I got made fun of at the Arcadia 626 meet because Alex and Jack both had cool shifters (Jack's got some $$$ Greddy one, Alex has a 2-ball), and I still have the stocker...

... I can't take their neg-rep in person. They have too much rep power. Help me.

[Brye]

Put me down for a red one.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

i know it's not your fault, but my car is gonna sell before i get to feel your red ball in my hand! the blue one felt sooooo nice!

[Phlip]

Damn you, Alex!
Why are you selling? Are you getting another?

[240love]

so any updates on special orders?

[Phlip]

Okay, they came in yesterday, and I set about the task of spinning them down onto this stock shifter I have here in my room just now, I will be wiping the dust from shipping, boxing and shipping all prepays and the special order named in the post just above this one within the next couple of days, as soon as I get the dust wiped off of them...
Anyone else interested, my last previous list is accurate as of right now.

alot cooler than my old nismo black shift knob! i like these sooooo much more i gave the other away for free!:barf:

[Phlip]

Actually, Alex, compared to a stocker, they get fucking HOT!!! I live in NC, home of the 100+ heat index for more than half of June, where an open sunroof for even 10 minutes in direct sunlight is ridiculous... I park under a tree at work.
I am not angry at you for selling your old one in my thread, so long as you delete that post as soon as you get a PM that actually sells it.

[S14DB]

Yeah if you leave it in the sun it will get super hot. If you have a sun shade in the windshield and tint you shouldn't be so bad. The resin will absorb the UV like crazy but, ambient heat not so bad like metal will.

[exitspeed]

Yea, I have the black one...it gets hot. I usually have a small cloth in the car so I use that until it cools down.

[silviaguy240]

yea i get a metal attain one and it gets fucking hot. need something new.

[Phlip]

I am shipping those who have paid out this afternoon if I can get to the mall before 9, if not I am shipping tomorrow.
In such, those in the states who have paid should have them within the week, or on Saturday... Those up in Canuckistan should have them within 7-10 days because the US Postal Service hates Canuckistan.

[Phlip]

Silly Jeff, were not you paying attention several pages ago when we said they were 1/2" smaller than a standard pool ball?

[Rogue240sx]

Just go mine in today and put it on. Feels pretty good, Now I just need to install my short throw shifter.
