That is correct; the car is at Honda World Westminster, but I'm not sure for how much longer.

I'll keep my eyes on that link, hopefully they can restock soon.

Quick, possibly dumb, question, does the knob thread on?
I see there is a bore towards the bottom that I assume is to securely lock it in place, but wasn't sure of that's the only thing holding it in place.
I tried a "universal" knob once a long time ago that didn't thread on, only had that bore, and it was the worst thing I experienced.
It would constantly come loose.

Unfortunately, I don't think ICB will restock them anytime soon. The colored versions of the Spoon Sports shift knobs were anodized, in the USA, by ICB and were offered in various colors such as the ones listed below:

https://www.icbmotorsport.com/spspalshknsi1.html

https://www.icbmotorsport.com/spspalshkn5s.html

https://www.icbmotorsport.com/spspalshknsi.html

Your best bet, if you really wanted a blue one, would be to purchase a Spoon Sports aluminum shift knob and have it anodized.

https://www.kamispeed.com/Spoon-Spor...-54102-002.htm

Also, that's not a dumb question at all! The Spoon Sports shift knob does indeed thread onto the shifter and uses a set screw to hold it in place.

The set screw also allows you to adjust the height of your Spoon Sports shift knob because you can thread on the shift knob as much, or as little, as you like onto your shifter and then set it in place with the set screw.

I'm also guilty of this.

I wish we had access to some of the aftermarket parts you have.
We can get parts but most of them aren't cheap.

Would you give us some more details/words that compare the feel, of the brake and clutch pedal of stock vs after the work you've done?

After replacing the clutch line and fluid, the clutch has a stronger bite when engaging. The clutch pedal also provides better feedback during usage.

It's not a night and day difference, but it has certainly made the driving experience more pleasant.

Compared to the stock brake pedal feel, the brake pedal is now much more firm after replacing the fluid.

This post offers a lot of great information on Endless RF-650 brake fluid:

Endless RF-650 Brake Fluid - Explained - Nissan 370Z Forum

In short, Endless RF-650 is one of very few fluids that doesn't suffer from severe compressibility issues after hard usage.

Love the recent closeup shots
Really cool to see the Spoon Fit at a dealership. I would ask them if it’s for sale

Thank you! For the right price, I'm sure they would be willing to sell you the car.
