I hit fourth on the straight with my ITR box... just b4 the start/finish line! Looks like that final drive really suit W.P.! Nice sounds... Nice drive!
Thanks.... Yeah I've been getting into hillclimbs lately. Less stress on the car than track and less cost, too! Found an awesome hillclimb track near Grafton that they do hillclimbs on! It's a steep, short climb up to what is actually a go cart track. Awesome fun! There's about four times in a run (which is less than a minute) that you enter a corner very sideways and power thru! I have only been in two events but have won my class both times (U2L Road reg limited mods)!!! Going again this weekend to the Cooperabung hillclimb! Would be significantly quicker if I had money to throw at tyres and susp! How's the saving going? We're building a house so I'm not anticipating being able to get my car up to the level I would like for a while!

I need some new vids and I will after I hit the track again,here's an oldie - Link
I just checked out a youtube vid of grafton,nice and tight! I can see how U would love that coarse mate,super suited for the little eg.I would be understeering through most of those corners cause they are real tight...I just put some coils in and am gonna corner balance it soon,so if I get my understeering issues a bit more under control I'll come there with ya!
I can see what ya mean about being less stressful on the car.
No saving happening here mate haha,studying Horticulture @ TAFE,on benefits

Judging by this post this would have to be Ian, Mate it was great to see another honda down at grafton. For the first time at the track you went really well, you would have to have been happy with that time for your first time at the track. I hope i was able to help you out a bit when we were down there. I've been up the gold coast doing a 3 week training course so i havn't even seen any of my video's from the weekend yet haha. I'll grap them off jason and try and put a link on here of the unofficial class track record that i got on the day. Next meeting is on the 17th of Oct, lets get some honda's down there. I'll even put $100 up for anyone that can beat me haha (Just to get some people down there hehe)
Yep! It's me. Had a blast. Even more fun than my day at Wakefield Park. Would be nice to get in 8 or 10 runs though and get some more feel! I looked at our splits and I'm not far off in most places, about half a second, but it's in the second lap of the cart track that your car is obviously more nimble and you put more than a second on me (and most cars out there!) - can't be driver diff!?!?!
Would love to see more H cars at the Oct 17 event! I'll be there! I just want to warn people though that they are not going to get Brian's $100! Unless your car is lighter than 750kg, has more power than any stock CTR or ITR, your body's lighter than 70kg and you've done more than 100 laps of the Mountainview track - he's keepin' the cash!!!
It's just 15 mins out of Grafton (north) so there must be some GoldCoast Hondas that could drive the 2 and a bit hours to take a crack! For not much more than you pay for a run a Willowbank, you'll get a full day of fun and this track will clearly tell you where your setup is lacking!
Thanks for all your help, Brian! Next time I won't need to warm the brakes up out near Tabulum so I should be able to change my own wheels! Got any Front susp tips! Need to stop the front rolling!
By the way! I went to Cooperabung hillclimb last w/e and with just a change to 5 yr old semi's I was 1.5 sec quicker than last time. Broke the track record for my class by over a second and won my class on the day by 5.5 seconds! It's more of a power track than Mountainview. Brakes once, top out at 150+km/h - all in the space of 750metres and 31.1 seconds! Tricky loose surface in patches though!
