Round 3 of the NSW Hillclimb Championships are on in Canberra this Sunday (tomorrow). There will be some big runners out there including Peter Gumley who holds the outright record at 38.98 and makes it look easy.

Entry is free to spectate, so come out and get a feel for how things happen out there... then bring your own cars and have a run on 27th April :( (remember I'm here to help if anyone needs support in preparation).

Tarmac (is Jo coming?) and I are running, I don't expect to be competive at this one, but am looking forward to some more time behind the wheel of this beast, I wish it wasn't so low or I would be tempted to take it to Texi LOL

Edit: scrutineering begins at 7am and the racing starts at 9am, should run until approx 4pm. The Pit Stop Cafe sells drinks, snacks and sausage sandwiches all day.

Jeno and Jo's car did sound AWESOME.

I won Fastest Lady... and the highlight for me was coming 2nd in my event (to Peter Gumley).

It was great to see so many of you guys turn up (I needed the hugs).

Local club event is on again in approx 2 weeks (27th April) and remember I'm here to help if anyone is interested in running. www.sdmahillclimb.com

Jeno, Jo, Tuk Tuk and I are going to Bathurst to have a crack at Mt Panorama with Bathurst Light Car Club in a few months time... if you're interested in joining us, you should think about starting here at the local club first.

What a wierd day.....we got there and it was raining heavy, then it cleared up just in time for the first run, then it got real hot, then in the arvo it poured down again and even hailed for a bit, then it cleared up again........ :D still had lots of fun though :) Those open wheelers are nuts. Can't wait for the next one!

Thanks to those guys who came out to say hello and helped with the tents. We only got a bit wet lol

If you come into the competitors area and park in either the first street (if you could call it that) on your left, or on the main road in, there are some shady spots which are out of the way on the right. You can also go to the end of the main road and there is (nice) gravel area to the right of the scrutineering caravan. They won't mind you parking in these places at all. They don't like them parking in the first few bays though because competitors are looping around there all day while doing their runs.

Hopefully Turismo will be running this one too. Reece?? are you coming? Bring the Starlet, double enter with Pat :D let me rephrase that, you can share the car LOL

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
