stormwerks - handbrake finally installed.
Firstly storm werks, the stuff is absolutely gorgeous, like ART, but never again am i using them again. The customer service absolutely blows. ive ordered from them 3 times and every single time, its the same, huge delays, and a lack of communication, it took me over 6 weeks to get this handbrake piece without so much as an email to discuss delays, lol! anway moan over!
HOWEVER..... I installed this today and i kinda fell in love with the little details and the quality of SW work is undeniable.

yup i will never use these guys again sadly....
Thanks these are by far the coolest wheels ive ever owned and by far the lightest / strongest ..... the quality and detail in them is something to behold, lastly..... they are different from the usual wheels everyone else has.

As a man in the automotive sector myself i have NO idea how they get away with it as we simply wouldn't. Thanks for the comments on the old girl.

The Stormwerks bits look great, but I just couldn't cope with them in the cold - or possibly in the height of summer!
Wheels look stunning though, and as you say definitely something different.

ive never owned a wheel of such high level of quality ( mold forged single piece ) , it took me a while to really gel with them but now im in total love with them, and the function is even more impressive than the looks.

I find they are worse in the summer. Before gettin in i have to drop the roof for a while so they cool off a bit, if i dont they are just too hot to handle.

I've had the gear knob for a while and sometimes its untouchable .... Completely impractical modification in the roadster but looks oh so good.

Nice vid, very nice car.
But yes as pretty much the only alternative to standard ZHP knobs they can pretty much behave how they want as a company - if a competitor came along doing some knobs and handles of equal quality that got them to you in 2 days with full communication they would I am sure soon change their tune. Unfortunately until that day they continue to give zero s@#!ts about their customers concerns!

Must be someone’s sideline to be that poorly organised, even when I ordered mine I waited a few weeks with no communication, thought I’d been scammed.
That said the product is too notch, and the difference is pretty incredible in the gear shift,

Have you had any issues with the cover that clamps to the handbrake release button sticking?
This has happened to me a few times where it sticks and the button won't spring back so you are effectively left without a handbrake was going to try spraying it with ptfe or something to stop it just wondered if anyone else has had issues?

not as yet seems very free , i deliberately installed the HB lever as far back as possible which leave more of the button exposed hence why you can see the black band at the base of the button, firstly i actually prefer the look of it this way, handbrake piece is more secure as its effectively wedged over the stock locking tabs plus the button has abit more space to move, maybe try repositioning it back slightly if your interior will match the dark band at the base of the button.Joez4 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 12:24 pm Have you had any issues with the cover that clamps to the handbrake release button sticking?
