what date is the baskerville hill climb? its not that cove hill route is it..?

mite grab some new tires and come along.

Only thing is, looking into my crystal ball, just now, its looky cloudy.... wait.. RAIN lol

whats the requirements for the tas hill climb series?

ie, licences etc and car requiremnets. Usual stuff like tow hook marking, battery marker? and or kill switch?

Just wanna know whats involved before I lay down coin on tires etc

good helmet, cams 2s license (which goes hand in hand with a CAMS approved club) fire extinguisher , battery sticker thats about it lol they usually recommend secondary bonnet restraint but at CV i was just using normal latch ones. if i dont run basky HC (which is looking like im not atm with the cars issues ) you can borrow my helmet jack :blush:

Blue 150mm sided triangle to mark battery location

Metal Valve caps

No fluid leaks

Fire Extinguisher with Metal Bracket

Helmet that meets AS1698-74

Good seatbelts (Not UV damaged or frayed)

Good throttle return spring/mechanism

Treaded tryes. ie: if they bald to start with then no run.

I could go on but they are the basics.

and yes I did do all the relevant training and assessment's to be a CAMS Scrutineer, just waiting on the Licence to arrive in the mail. :blush:

Well, took three days in the end but...

Entire rear end has been removed, subframe bushes all pressed out and new Nolathane bushes fitted in their place and got back on the road Monday night.

I have to say that for such a small change, 4 bushes, its made such a difference to the way the car reacts and drives.

Bring on Basky I say, enry went in the mail today, scrutineering tomorrow.

just got my 33gtst back, made 270rwkw on a steady 15pound, do another 1000k's then re-tune at Advan in sydney and run 25pound. hoping to get over 330rwkw. and building a 3L t51r SPL motor hopefully going into a 34gtr. got the bottom end and turbo. YAY!

Sounds like your alot closer than me PJ, my engine hasn't even turned up yet so looks like i wont be making Basky at this stage :banana:

It has given me plenty of time to clean up a few other things with the car though but this weather is killing me with no garage to work in ;)

    • 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.
