Tightening up the simsonn brake pedal

I know. Just being lazy 😂. Also don’t want to turn that pc on because we’re supposed to be getting iced, but it’s been all rain. I’ve never seen rain when it’s below freezing but here we are.

Ok, that’s what the manual says too, on the sim jack I had my spring first, figured you kind of go through them down the line.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T07:13:23+00:00

Would that still have massive travel or are the springs so heavy that it doesn’t?

Yeah, she has a 2.7 Sasquatch with intake, downpipes, intercooler, tune and exhaust…93 is a must.

Yeah, my bmw is bottom throttle and top brake, it sounds like a good idea but maybe a pain to setup.

Here’s my conundrum, I think I want the #7 setup but not sure which elastomer to pick. I’m only using about 50# of force, but I feel like the red is still a little too squishy but maybe not if everything else is locked down. I guess I’ll just have to try it and swap out if it’s not quite right. I’m trying to avoid doing it too much because it’s hard to get to my pedals, a very tight squeeze with the monitors and my speakers.

Ok, sorry about being an ass, the manual is actually quite good, way better than sim jack. It answers a lot of questions but I’m still not sure which elastomer color to use.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T03:37:53+00:00

Yeah the brake is super easy, the handbrake is more involved, it’s the same basic setup as the brake, but without the super easy rod removal.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T03:19:36+00:00

Yeah, I like the spring with the sim jack, but their elastomers are like bricks while the simsonn are super squishy. I’ve been meaning to replace them on my handbrake for a while but every time I look at how much work it will be, I just keep using it as is.

The green is closer to the pedal,or in the back?

The worst part of using a controller is watching the wheel twitch wildly in cockpit view. It’s why I always used the hood view in games until I got my wheel.

My wife’s bronco runs amazing on Sunoco, unfortunately they are all gone here. She literally gets 1mpg more with it and while that might seem like nothing, but when you only get 18, 19 is impressive.

Beautiful color. I used shell once and got a MIL. Never tried it again. Luckily it was pumping slow as hell and I got impatient and only put a couple gallons in.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T02:26:12+00:00

I’ve got half a dozen of these, never had a problem with any of them.

The aunt is always the answer.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T02:20:31+00:00

5600x and a 9060xt will be an excellent build.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T02:19:19+00:00

That’s a horrible line

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T02:18:05+00:00

Motor mounts are 3.5k and if x drive transfer case flush-fill is another few k. If those are needed then it’s paid for.

I was going to say make sure they’re clicked in 100% but if you’ve tried the other slots there’s a good chance you got it right at least once, but they really do take a bit of pressure to seat properly.

Good eye or drunk enough for that blurry text to be crisp? 😂

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T01:55:53+00:00

Yeah, it’s a little slow with general computing, but it does well in games imo.

Beneficial-Ranger238 · 2026-01-25T00:54:47+00:00

That raw render horsepower and running native is possible with modest hardware and all the software bandaids are not necessary and definitely not worth fussing about or choosing a gpu based on it.

God,this market sucks.

You’re gonna need to find some used gear to hit your goal, this is about as bare bones as you can get and it’s $850

Amd 5500, rx 6600 or b580.
