Hi,

I have a 1997 (MY97?) imreza, UK spec, and it has a disgusting rubbery bit round the gear leaver, that is awful The plastic *** isnt much better either.

Are there any easy to fit but quite cheap leather alternatives to the rubbery bit? Its **** a plenty in halfords, but they are like £30 a go. Want something a bit chaeper if possible.

At the end of the day you get what you pay for... I doubt Nito is cheaper than Halfords ( ), but if you want to improve things have a look at

 

I know they seem expensive but I bought a Momo Race Air Leather for my MY98 and it does make a difference. Apart from losing about 1/2" from the shift the feel is MUCH better - and it looks cool.

You definitely get what you pay for but I highly recommend it!

I have a similar Momo that has been with me on a few cars now. I'd thought only at the weekend about putting it on my MY 00, but can you advise if there is a wy of attaching the gaiter?

Cheers

Short answer - no

I believe that you can buy an adapter (from Graham Goode if my memory serves me right) or you could try attaching a small amount of self-adhesive velcro around the gear lever and top of the leather gaiter (not easy, but it worked on mine for while).

Or do what I did eventually and ditch the Momo and get one of Nito's that look far better, cost less and include the sleeve to allow you to attach the leather gaiter.

Cheers

thanks Chris.

I'll check the Nito site, Trying to be tight and use the one in the GARAGE!

Cheers.

 

You should've bought a Terzo , they come with smart leather gaiters and *****.
