Just picked up my 2008 M Roadster

eunosracr · 09-08-2009, 03:38 PM

Just ordered the RE diablo exhaust. ZHP knob, short antenna, black grillsm and soe other goodies. Coming from an s2000 I find the M roadster's shifter a bit notchy. What did you guys do to resolve this? Does the ZHP knob help?

I just picked up an 06 roadsters and recently purchased the ZHP knob. I'm also debating about the RE Diablo exhaust and black grills. I'm coming from an S2000, as well and have the same observation about the M shifter.

Where did you purchase your short antenna?

The ZHP knob is a nice change from stock - IMO the weighted knob does help the feel.
As for the notchy shifting, it's especially bad from 1st-2nd. You'll get used to it soon enough, you almost exaggerate the shift and it'll be fine.

Most of us got the one off eBay (like $12). I think the store/seller is Mangowalk.

I decided to go with the RE Diablo. THe problem is they are sold out till October.

I think I'm going to order the RE Diablo as well ... sucks they're sold out ...

congrats on the purchase!! I too came from an s2k, but there's nothing I did for the shifter...but the exhaust I just did a muffler delete and shaved 32lbs! $100 tips off ebay and $50 pipe/install should hold you off until the diablos are in stock...

I also came from an S2000. Surprised to see so many of us on this board haha. I miss my S2000 some days, but still very glad I made the switch to the M.

Have fun with the car, it is a fantastic sports car!
