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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
