Lol thanks! I’m looking for a good employee with my attention to detail. But the main problem is parts right now. I’m hoping by April I’ll be in control of supply issues.

What’s the newest R8 that you’ve ever converted to a manual?

The only options are gated or automated. I’m doing all gated

wow! that's a bigger job than most would take on. Are you putting a converted r-tronic in it or a factory manual? either way, that is very impresive!

S-tronic to gated? I thought it was only possible to do a conversion from R-tronic?

Does this mean you're going to start making your own parts?

Anything is possible in my garage

@TriniTT: Out of curiosity, has anyone ever asked to convert a GT from R-Tronic to S-Tronic? Not looking to start a discussion on whats better, but technically I'm sure it would result in the most capable possible GT?

Sorry I misread. I’ve had a few people ask to convert cars to s-tronic (mostly lambos), but it’s way too much work for no good reason imo. There are plenty of s-tronic cars on the market to pick from. The gt is already more than capable; an s-tronic would just take it a step towards boring.

There will be another shop in the S an Francisco Bay Area that will be offering manual conversions very soon!!!!

Do you have more information about this? I live in the Bay Area and I'm thinking of converting my v8 to a manual!

Happy to help if you’re interested.

Im currently saving to do this conversion. Hopefully business picks up and able to do this swap by year end. GT#232 will soon be a 6 Speed Gated Manual.

Happy to help if you’re interested.

@TriniTT Are you doing these in the Bay area now?
