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

[Fabman]

If I can do it, there’s no doubt you can do it Sal. I’ve been into mine 3 times now, and the full carbon Synchrotech synchros are the happiest I’ve been for high rev shifts.

I have no desire to do this, but I would be happy to pay someone else.
Too bad you moved across the world we could have done some business and beer.

We've come a long way baby!

The secret bonus to this pic is that I raced for years under both numbers 7 and 9.

How high are you shifting?

 

[Fabman]

Mission accomplished.







Note how much I needed to extend the stupid jack so it would reach.
Who designed this thing?

Meanwhile, I came across this custom interior on a 2014 Mustang V6.

That’s sweet. Makes me think of a muppet mobile.

Is there a way to disassociate from the normal V6 crowd? This hurts my eyes, and dampens the spirit.

Where did I leave my holy water…

How high are you shifting?

Usually around 8K. Sometimes a bit over.

That’s sweet. Makes me think of a muppet mobile.

Or a taxi in Mumbai.
