I wanna get in on this action.
Last time I checked Mt Cootha climb was 2 years ago. They only allowed classics or if you were in a EVO or WRX club....kinda lame.
Did you race on the weekend at kempsy iijjee? I'm thinking of entering the next state event at ringwood park at the end of the month, I should have done kempsy, but I realised it was on to late.. Haha

In Lismore tonight! Swapping my wheels and susp next wk for some coilovers. Also found my trailing arm bushes are completely collapsed, which won't have helped the oversteer issues ive had at mountainview. Having them replaced with the good (blue!) stuff, whatever it's called! Looking to race again in the next two months or so! My car was on blocks all last week! The state event was pretty competitive. I've never not finished first up there but my best time would have placed me 5th on the weekend in the 1600-2000cc Imp Prod class I usually race in! Still, the winner of that class - yes a racing VW Bug! - was only 0.8 of a sec faster than my best.
Cooperabung prob doesn't suit our cars really! More of a turbo track! It's really a quarter mile up the hill, pretty straight and then two difficult turns and over the finish line!
I bet the car that won that class was a orange beetle driven by heath campbell. My pb at grafton is quicker than his hehe. I was stiring him up at grafton, good fella.
Man you are going to love coilovers, just make sure the softest setting isn't to hard.
Yeah have thought that track was a but of a drag strip.
Campbell indeed! He holds the track record too, i think!
What are your coilovers' springrates, front and rear? I've had teins twice b4 and they were firm but so predictable! How much do the dampener settings affect handling, as opposed to ride?//?
Not 100% sure on my spring rates, they are jic dc2 coil overs. I changed the rear springs to a softer set that tyrone with the wrx from grafton had, that made it heaps better, not sure what they are, I've never tested them. The guys I've been pit crewing for lately have been teaching me the dampner side of things a but lately. fingers crossed I get the car to the next ip queensland circuit racing meeting so they help with my car set up before I race them.. Haha
