This hill climb is a joke, the road is now blocked off from the public, so in theory the Noosa Shire shouldn’t be forking out the money to maintain the road as its not used by the public anymore… Yet they do, and our real main roads still suck!

We helped set this event up years ago for the car club, if you knew the amount bribe money used to get it through you’d laugh.

If I can be stuffed I might make my way up I guess.

no, its definitely just for the old boys. anyone not in the HRCC or Noosa Beach Historic Club doesn't get a look in these days. I entered in '03 in my old Datsun, picked up a trophy, got a mention in their club magazine for the car's presentation and the on-the-edge driving style, then next year they rejected my entry saying that they give preference to cars based on wether its historic or classic, a unique models for the event, presentation, and something else I can't remember. Mine was the only Datsun 1200 in '03, and none were there in '04 either, and i got a rap for the car's presentation in their own magazine. But they still allowed about 8 MX5's, which are neither historic or unique, and a bunch of identical MGs and whatever. An Evo 6 even got in. When they call it Noosa HISTORIC Hillclimb, they mean Noosa Historic Racing Car Club Members Hillclimb.

I wouldn't bother going to watch either. 90% of the feild are slow boring old shitboxes, plus a bunch of MX5's - whatever they have to do with historics. the 10% that are worth watching you will probably miss anyway due to falling asleep while the old codgers in their slow POS putter up the hill.

haha your a whinger josh. Its also rediculously hard to get into the event. The old fogeys keep this one closed shop just like the wharfies do at the port.

hahah! I whinge becasue we used the road... For.. *coucgh Cough*.

As hrd-hr30 said, preference is giving to people within those two clubs. But normally not just anyone you have to be a "some body" if you know where I'm coming from.

It's all far too political these days; the Noosa Beach Historic Club is only about who has the most money or who ordered the latest Jag or Merc.

If it wasn’t for a few key people years ago this event wouldn’t be around at all.

I ride my mtb on that road every day the main reason they blocked it of is because of dickheads doing burnouts and dumping shit all over the place, some of the burnouts had ripped 2 inch holes in the road.

I used to ride my mountain bike and motor-x bike there often as well. The dumping, burnouts, which were wrecking the road to some degree and vandalizing I, can understand. But as you’re a bit clueless in the matter I’ll explain in minor detail.

In short the road was closed, due to myself and a group of friends using it for time trail use and for drift practice.

No different to what some of the Noosa Beach Historic Club members where doing in their spare time either. In fact a members Porsche went up the embankment one night while up there....

The Police and shire were informed of who was dumping etc up there, but unfortunately blaming us was more convenient. As were turning a blind eye to a few club members who were doing the same rubbish we were.

My main whinge was about the fact the shire still spends thousands of dollars fixing the road when it’s not a public road anymore, when half the roads in Noosa need fixing ASAP, I’ve spent countless dollars on fixing rims due to the poor roads within the Noosa Shire.

good one idiot

don't know if you can take full credit for it though. Even driving calmly along that road in my diesel Patrol I got alot of death stares from local residents (assumedly) who seemed to consider it as their own private walking trail rather than a public road! More than one refused to move out of the way - they just keep walking in the middle of the road... I reckon they would have been lobbying council to have it closed so they could enjoy walking their dogs in peace and quiet.

To be honest I couldn't have cared what the residents of the 4 homes up there did or thought. Nothing but low earning green peace fools. They needed to be hit by a car to be taught a lesson.

One of them used to string wire up trying to stop us on motor-x bikes, now that’s stupid behaviour, regardless of whether or not what myself or club members were doing on a public road.

Never the less, none of this has any point with my whinge about the shire and the overweight fool of a man they have running it.

funny how they let that man drive a members porsche carrera rs in the event.......

think they'd try harder to not make it so obvious they have "agreements" in place.

:D

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
