My '62 Mercedes 220SE Coupe 5.0 (videos)

[GGR]

Hi all,

My project is now road worty, and though it's still an on-going project it's back to daily driver status.

The other day a friend came and shot some videos with his I-phone. In the three first links I'm explaining what I did on the car and on the three last I'm driving it. The last one is a 0-100mph video. I did not go crazy on the clutch or in the shifts as all this is still a bit new an I don't want to grenade anything. But basically I shift in 2nd at 40mph, in third a 60mph (7s) and third is taking us up to 100mph (17s). I guess I will do better when the car is finished tuning and when I'm more confident with the transmission to shift harsher. I forgot to mention in the video that the engine has been fitted with AMG replica camshafts and solid lifters.

Very nice conversion. Pulls well and looks good.

Seems like clutch slippage from first to second.

Thanks!

The engine is not fully tuned yet and if I shift normally at higher rev it bucks. So I have to keep it revving keeping my foot a bit longer on the clutch pedal. I hope to sort this out soon. Clutch is otherwise OK so far.

It looks like fun - nice job. Can you tell me more about your tuning software on the lap top? (Post a link may be?)

[GGR]

The software is TunerStudio and I'm also using VE analyze live.
