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, Jo and I all achieved PB's today *woohoooo* :D:):):bunny::bunny::bunny::banana::banana::banana:

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

The club events are almost every month, check out the calendar on www.sdmahillclimb.com - the NSW state round is only here once a year.

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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
