Event: Legend Of The Lakes Hillclimb ''the best hillclimb in aus''

(One of the biggest hillclimb events in Australia!! over 130-140 Racers)

Its like the Eastern Creek Time Attack of the hillclimbs in Aus....litterally

When: 4-6 November 2011

(Entries open and close in approx 4 days once event is opened so read now or youl miss out!)

Where: Mount Gambier South Australia (no not Adelaide)

Who: The race attracts all different types of cars such as time attack, street cars, drifters, aussie cars, old school cars, rotary's...it basically caters for all hardcore enthusiast car racers...

How to Enter: On Wednesday July 13th Entry's open and within 4 days WILL BE FULL & OVERFLOWED IF NOT LESS (thats over 140 entrys in 4 days) so basically get your entry in Wednesday or miss out...visit SEAC

Cost: Last year was $200 and this year could be more....

Why: My name is Russell, I am a local of Mount Gambier that hosts the 2011 Legend Of The Lakes Hillclimb, This event is very fast becoming the top tarmac hillclimb in Australia starting in 2006 with 66 competitors to now rising to the ''caped'' 140 competitors this year in 2011.

The event is that red hot now that in 2010 within 4 days of the entries opening the event was filled and overflowed and thus entries closed with people all over Australia begging to get in...

The hillclimb is also one of the longest hillclimbs in australia boasting just over 1300 metres of track with speeds reaching over 180km/h to even 200km/h for the fast guys

I personally have entered this race in 2010, it is the most insane events iv ever ever done and it beats circuit work and other hillclimbs hands down....

If you have a track day car or even a fast street car, youl be stupid not to enter this event as it IS one of the best tracks YOUL ever drive...

This is a CAM's event and level 2 speed license is manditory!

Enjoy, I know I will :D

Are Supp Regs available for this event? Wouldn't mind giving it a go :thumbsup:

No idea, I think from memory last year the sup reg's got emailed to the competitors after they entered...

Looks good, shame about the distance :(

Its so worth the distance if your a competitor....driving doesnt get much better than this...going 180km/h on whats normally a 40km/h speed limited zone every other day of the year...:P

Is your name Russell too??? that is so awesome....good blokes them Russell fella's :P

It is very crazy, i entered my R32 GTR last year, and well I got up to 165k/h as I was too chicken to go any faster or put my foot down more as its pure madness and adrenaline rushing!

Ill be entering again this year in my Toyota Supra TT as my GTR from last year died

Thanks Russ. I do remember seeing supp regs for this event last year. I'll track them down as I want to find out eligibility and let you know mate, unless you've come across some for this year?

You'd be doing in the WRX I assume? If so don't worry about elegibility. Just enter.

This will sell out in days I've been told. I've got a way of getting entries in early so if you want to enter give me a call.

Ryan and I are going to be entering. For $150 or whatever it's crazy cheap.

Well that's what I'm tossing up at the moment :thumbsup:

Those few handbrake turns look a bit tight for it though, but it would be a heap of fun with some semi slicks on it and I dare say safer than the WRX too. I'll enter regardless and see what comes of it. Will give you a buzz Russ :)

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
