Raceseng Ashiko
Staying busy with life, and tracking the car. Done plenty to her but haven't really been taking any pictures. Haven't taken photos in a while and I miss it, so here I am with photos of the Raceseng Ashiko Knob.
It's a heavy bit of kit, but that's why I bought it. It's even heavier than my flossy shorty knob. The shape feels great in the hand; I prefer the larger, non round shape knob. Not looking forward to the summer when I park outside. I need to get some sort of cozy for those times.

The Kit. The knob weighs 735 grams! It comes with a thread adapter bit. That screws onto the stock shifter, and the knob screws onto that.

Inside you'll see a black stopper bolt. Using a 3/8" Allen key, you can adjust the height of the knob, as well as adjust alignment of the engraving.

The thread adapter screwed onto the shifter lever. Raceseng recommends you use loctite blue, and a 15mm wrench to secure it down. The reverse lockout mechanism is fully functional

Knob installed. To make alignment easier, just screw down the knob tightly, then ever so slightly loosen it and screw it down again. Each time you loosen it, it turns the internal stopper screw a little bit, and you can turn it further the next time. Perfect way to get a great alignment

It is the same height as the stock knob
