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...

Enjoy, I know I will :D

Hey Russell.

I'll be entering. I drove the course on tuesday while visiting a mate (Adam Branford, also on the committee) in Mt Gambier. Can't wait. Sure looks on the crazy side of things!!!

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 :)

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
