WEVO 930 Classic Shifter Porn

[81 930]

Hello everyone. I finally bit the bullet and got a WEVO shifter for my 930. I went with WEVO's "Classic" design which uses a tubular steel rod, perfectly replicating the factory Porsche look. I am an engineer the aerospace industry and I must admit to being impressed with the quality of these pieces. The machine work, fit, and finish are all superb. The shifter has removed the "spoon in a bowl of porridge" feeling that has always been there previously. The throws are shortened up nicely and the spring centering of the lever works like a dream. Here I am completely raving about it and I haven't even driven the car yet. I hope to be able to take it for a drive in the next couple of days and will report my findings here.

I also picked up a replica 917 wooden shift knob from the lads at TRE. I absolutely love the combination. It has transformed the look and feel of my interior into a true time-machine.

Now, on with the porn!

That is sweet Brian, love the carbon fiber door pockets too!

Looks pretty cool man! I havent seen that car in these parts in a while.
Im thinking of getting a Wevo shifter as well. I like the silver billet one.

Very nice! I like the 917 knob as well. I'm tripping from your side profile pics of the interior shots. What's going on with the halo around the top portion of the boot? Clipping mask? Unsharp masking? Sorry - I spend way too much time in Photoshop

Thanks for the comments everyone. I cannot wait to take the car for a test drive! Changing it thru the gears whilst parked in my garage sure feels nice.

Thanks Joe! I know. It's been a while since I've been up in the LA area. One of these days I'm going to have to make a road trip up there. Hopefully I'll see you at the upcoming German Auto Fest.

I also purchased a brand new shift boot (from Pelican Parts of course). It has a very thin band of excess rubber around its perimeter from the mold parting lines. It's hardly noticeable in person, but it certainly does catch the flash from my camera quite well.

Thanks Christian. WBSFab no longer sells the shift knobs direct. Contact TRE. They have them.

Thanks Doug. How's the 3.6 running? We should get a group together and make a Palomar Mountain run soon. It would be nice to see you and your car.
