Man builds model DSG transmission or: masochism expressed

[AUDIHenry]

I can't even begin to imagine how to build something like this. Oh yeah, and it looks like he used Meccano!

I made one of those out of matchsticks !!

[tonyvid]

Awesome! Just how much spare time do you need to design and build that!

Probably better made than some of Audi's efforts

I hope that man works as a gearbox engineer!

Thats better than James May's bridge.

[Charlie Foxtrot]

he has made it 4wd and Windows compatible.

I'd love a closer look at that.

IMO this is a greater achievement than that stupid tower in Dubai.

According to the comments, he used to work at Ricardo in the USA. Ricardo UK are the lot who build the Veyron DSG box, so it's fair to say he has an idea about such things I'd assume!!

It looks like something James May would have built tho, tbh!

I worked there!

I was very impressed with that meccano gearbox, after studying them for an assignment last year, I'm amazed it can be recreated, especially on small scale!

Jesus. How much spare time do some people have?! Mentalist

[mulletmark]

Reminds me of the guy who spent years fabricating and building a scale model of a 312 PB Ferrari.

All that effort and he can't even drive it.

[supersingle]

Wonder if he has a girlfriend?

Amazing work though.

I can understand the Ferrari model actually. At least he could sell it to some spoilt Arab brat for a million.
