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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
