I have a set of camper blocks you can borrow if you like.

It's not easy, that's for sure. But you don't have to open up the engine and it beats using an unbalanced 12v flywheel.

The balancing guy i used a few years ago did something like that. We even sacrificed an old 2.5 crank to fix the flywheel to.

Copying the balance off the original flywheel is the easiest and best solution if you're not opening up the engine.

Very sorry to hear this news however we knew it was coming. I thank you and all other who participated and helped on this forum for their dedication and knowledge. :P It has been a great achievement to keep this forum so friendly and full of knowledgeable people. Most other forums often end up with ...

Be aware that the Mercedes types usually come with an electro magnetic clutch type pulley.

On the 2.3 they used the m45 as well as the m64.

Bmw and Mercedes use a rubber as a front coupling in the propshaft. That piece of the shaft exactly points to the carrier bearing in the middle of the shaft. There is very minimal movement opposed to the alfa front donut. They generally last a very long time. At our driftcars we have never needed to...

But on the Mercedes, bmw and corvette they're perfect in line and don't twist... The alfa v6 lies crooked in the car. It's off centre by something like 10 degrees or so. So every turn of the propshaft twists the front guibo. Putting the engine in straight will require new enginemounts and a new rear...

Did the owner perhaps not notice the odd vibration in the driveshaft from a failed donut and kept on driving?

I've had a completely destroyed donut once on a 75 TS that you didn't really notice. No vibration while driving steady.

My bet goes to the flexing in the guibo due to the engine pulling straight when torque is applied. Only the front guibo endures this much movement, the other ones take much less stress.

Loosing this site would be horrible and a waste of knowledge.

I would be happy to donate some money for keeping it online.

His 75 is an original autodelta group a or something, so already worth a hole lot of money...

He builds most of his owns parts. I think he has a 103 mm bore to get to 3.9l.

This car weighs less then 1000kg, the porsche will be a bit heavier i think.

Oktech, Oliver Koertgen.

3.7 24v 436hp at that time.

It's current engine is 3.9 24v and hé is shooting for 500hp. Didn't make it just yet so is changing a few things.

If you want to try that you can use the belt from an alfa 916 3.0 spider.

We need that video...

That's just insane, i love it.

What kind of rear suspension is it running?
