if anyone is interested in competing in the Hillclimb series at Mt Cotton, registration opens Friday 20th January with the following event dates:

Rd1 Mar 26

Rd2 Apr 30

Rd3 Jul 9

Rd4 Aug13

Rd5 Sept 24

Rd6 Dec 3

I saw from the results that a R32 GTR entered the last hillclimb in '05, and won the awd turbo class. Not sure who it was, or if they are on SAU because that was the same weekend I was at Bathurst for the Speed Weekend. Hopefully he'll enter the series for next year. You can do individual events there too if you want, depending on how many series registered entries thay get for the round.

Other significant Hillclimb events:

QHC QLD Hillclimb Championship Mt Cotton June 3-4

AHC Aust. Hillclimb Championship Bathurst Nov 3-5

I'm definitely entering the Mt Cotton series, and may do the AHC depending on what hillclimb they run (and my finances). I wouldn't bother going for the Esses Hillclimb again, but Mountain Straight Hillclimb is awesome.

entry costs are normally $66 - its the best value motorsport around. MG Car Club own (and built) the facility themselves so the overheads are very low.

they have a class for awd turbos which normally has lots of very fast WRXs, a couple of Evos and the occassional GTR and one GTI-R Pulsar.

You need a CAMS L2S licence.

Actually, there is a Come and Try Day on February 5 which would be perfect for anyone a bit curious about the place. I think they charge something like $25 for that and no CAMS licence required. They have experienced competitors there as instructors too, who will ride with you in the car to show you the ropes. I'll probably be there for the Test and Tune that afternoon - hopefully it will be dry this time!

I'm with SPARC (Surfer's Paradise Auto Racing Club) who aren't very big or active anymore, but have cheap $30 membership.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
