Perhaps an evening presentation and discussion at the Annual meet?

Sounds like a cooler classification/title than "Senior Member" to me...

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 |

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 Is it some kind of weight-saving device?
