S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? Build Thread

[JeffV8]

Really only eat raw fish, seldom touch the cooked critters!! Have to agree 1000% on the mechanical masturbation comment. Its just not the same, tried it, but gave up in disgust. People drive like idiots in sims, having no consequences makes most drivers into Kamikaze twits. The whole seat of your pants thing is left out of the equation and if a super Sim cost 30.000, would much rather race a Kart.

Been there done that. Raced on all big tracks. That’s at Pitt Race kart track.

How do they simulate G forces...? A little bump here and there can never do that.

Look up that sim. shoulder harness pull you the whole thing moves. McCANN Racing builds them. They are in Akron Ohio . Big race team. www.simxperience.com

Unless it’s actually cornering at speed, it can’t accurately simulate g forces.

Simulators are to racing what blowup dolls are to sex.

This one looks pretty awesome! I watched the one comparison video car vs simulator - the accelerometer was ready almost the same but not as long - no continuous g like in a sweeper. It's probably only a couple more pennies than 30k....

No sweat, put her right back in your closet where I found her.
Sorry, she might be a little stretched out now.

Dang Sal, that is provocative, but I think we better get Blacksheep 1 on this thread so we can find out the proper air pressure!?

That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I choked on my drink when I read it.

And for my next trick….

 

[Mad Hatter]

Aah, no problem!! piece of cake... Will you do it with the bellhousing on the gearbox first???

 

[302BOB]

If it was easy I could even do it............"don't try this at home" might mean something here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try a grinder and 2 lb hammer. Worked for me today....

No, the bell housing will stay on the motor.

The cortex k member won’t let me tip the motor back very far.
It has to roll back quite a way to clear the shifter tower.
I prepped everything today and will attempt this feat tomorrow when I have some help. Stay tuned.

Now I’m wondering if I can even pull the trans and leave the bell housing….will the hydraulic line for the throw out bearing allow that?
