Most liked posts in thread: Review: The Raceseng Slammer Shift Knob

Got home from my vacation and got to install my engraved, translucent blue, slammer. I think it is going to work just fine to go with the custom dash that will be installed this spring.

 

Great looking piece, and a really good in depth write up! I miss the days where this was the norm on the boards.

 

Very nice looking piece. I'll keep my Whalen shift machine. My shift knob money has already been spent.

 

All done with the colouring. It turned out pretty good but I'm not sure it will last as I just used Testor enamel paint (cheap in case it didn't work). It's hard to get a good picture due to the shine.

Dug through some of my old emails... found a rendering for their threadless adapter.

One thing worth noting, he stragically picked the recessed diameter for the set-screw engagement point. Should they ever loosen up from you jammin' gears, you have a little bit of a lip to potentially bite on and keep the knob from completely coming off until you can retighten them.





It's these kinds of details that make quality parts worth every penny.

 

thanks M Savacool for getting this looking good for me!

pac:wink:

 

Got mine installed yesterday along with the Craven Speed hand brake handle.

 

Just put a glove or sock on the shifter.

 

Nah, put an unlubricated condom on it. Ribbed. Nice insulation, good grip. It would be the ultimate conversation piece.

 

If winter ever ends (more snow today) here in NE PA, I promise to install the ChiliRed slammer, a Christmas present, into my wife's R53...I wil post photos with a fresh interior detail

Great write up and after reading it, I decided I had to have one. I went with the heavier Ashiko knob. Great feel and wonderful craftsmanship.

 

Keep us posted as to how that works for you in Dallas. My experiences with metal shift knobs here has not been positive. I've branded the palm of my hand more than once. :incazzato:

Winters are fun too...

 

loctite the set screws next time?

 

So you are having problems with your knob and you though the Internet was the place to talk about it. :lol:

Good luck Savvy and if you need tools I have a new pack of cutoff wheels and I will be around tomorrow night.

 

Nice to see another vendor get in the game even if it's not something I want to spend my money on... I'm sure others will..

 

Hope I didn't imply you did. Not my intention. If I didn't have such a great shift knob with my Whalen shift machine I'd have bought one. Changing from one great shift knob to another just doesn't make sense for me. If you want to send me a blu one with the shift pattern engraved I'd gladly beta test it for you. :wink:
