I'm not sure how you could be incriminating yourself - it's just really interesting to see (and hear!) an S8 being driven properly. Not sure I want to wait for a Christmas meeting - maybe we have a little NorthWest one in the meantime? ;)

Congratulations!
Huge respect +++ Cant wait to see it. Shifts look/sound very smooth. How are you finding it, big change from the auto? noticeably quicker? Yours must be the quickest NA one now, lightest gearbox, and some scary gear ratios :D |
Amazing, well done +++
Making gear shifts at 2000 rpm, cool. Was the speedometer input from the central transfer case? I noticed that didn't give any reading. I should have investigated this, as I had to replace the central transfer case on my -98 Grand Cherokee. And now it seems the reading is almost 20% higher than the actual speed at 100 km/h (62mph), showing ≈120 km/h. |

It’s not bad Goran I did a couple of runs none where perfect and I had a full fuel & lpg tank under 5.5 is definitely possible. If everything was perfect on a sticky drag strip and fitted lunch control I think it could go under 5 second. But I don’t think it’s that important and I don’t want to be dropping the clutch at 7000 rpm in my own car. If someone want to lend me there car I can do full throttle gear shifts too. I just did a nice consistent 2000 rpm clutch dump that I can reproduce that’s not to had on my new clutch. Speedo output hasn’t been even started yet and I wouldn’t want it on a YouTube video.

Very nice. Yes I completely agree, I am not about to abuse my car to get a low 0-60 time.
I cant wait to see it in person, very interested to see how you designed the clutch pedal arrangement. Enjoy! |
Yes Stephen we will have 2 sort something out I was trying to make it to the Oil can cafe but I was to slow. The pictures of the pedal are on my new knob thread basically I put a new pivot on the bottom mounting hole and the master cylinder is getting pushed towards you. I did have serveral other solutions but some are complicated this was easy to do and cheapest for anybody else wanting to do it.

Excellent work! ++++++
Looking forward to seeing it. Also wondering what "lunch control" is :ROFL: Is it some kind of weight-saving device? ;) |
