The hills east of Bunbury, out Ferguson Valley way are great as well as the roads around Bridgtown, Nannup and Balingup :bunny:

You metrosexuals really should get down that way

+11ty

the road from Bridgetown to Donelly River is still one of my alltime favourites.

AND you can get some awesome cheese and wine (and mushrooms :D ) on the way home

Yep that is a great road. Have you tried the Nannup/ Balingup road, awesome!

Wouldn't know about mushies :bunny: but the wine and cheese rocks.

You get a real mix of road surfaces, some are great, others are narrow and pretty bumpy. Gives the suspension a good workout. Generally the roads around Nannup, Bridgetown and Balingup are pretty good. The roads out in the Furgeson Valley/ Collie area can be a bit rough.

what are the road surfaces like?

LOL

it means he has a diff and suspension that would reduce his kidneys to something resembling a sultana before he got 20kms :D

everyone loves hills runs except the resident who get pi**ed off with us all the time and call the police because so many who love the hills runs act like dickheads

Ditto, which is exactly why I never go on them. I'd much rather do that stuff in controlled environments where there are no legal compromises.. However, in WA, we have crappy facilities, hence why many people 'risk it' I suppose.. However, I'm not keen on the idea of hurling my car down a narrow piece of sh!tty bitumen, only to be surrounded by gargantuan trees that would cut my car in half like a slab of butter.. I agree that it is fun, but between the real danger, and the fact there are d*ckheads that do give the speed limits a good nudge, I can't see the sense in it..

LOLS. I personally like the different surfaces, cept when ya start skipping sideways round a tight bend, tends to test you out

My jap coilovers and 2-way diff makes it quite a handful on roads like that.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
