Manawahe Hillclimb

[smodgee]

Had my first gravel hill-climb a few weeks back and had a really good day out, the plan was just to get thru and put the car on the trailer at the end of the day. Pleased with the result and there is still more cornering speed to be had but it, was all a bit much for my little brain to get the feel for the car and remember the course at the same time with the adrenaline going, last run started to feel alot more confident in car which showed on the time sheet :D
Here are the results only first two pages are for my hill-climb, look for Joshua Smith Taihape Sharion http://www.sportsground.co.nz/files/Sit ... PUYJUT.pdf
Here's a link to a video of last run, was debating putting this on cause of the quality of it, was last minute and just had a tripod duct taped to the roll-cage and the light settings were on auto, so shaky and bright in places. Making a proper bracket at the moment so hopefully better videos to come,

That Sharion looks like a lot of fun.
Good to see some in car footage.

You love that gear shtick!

You need to steer with BOTH hands

Good effort first time out. Amongst the leading group of 2WD cars. Interesting that you guys have a passenger, times would be much quicker without that extra weight.

yea since I've changed to the lsd the thing nearly hits me in the leg, don't know weather it on way out or not, but didn't get that shake with the welded diff in,
old fart - yes i agree with both hands on, tarmac there both glued on, i think there was just too much going on lol
panda -as being a hill climb i could of gone by myself but my mate in the passengers seat who was going to co-drive for the rally sprints has gone and got himself a job in perth and leaves on first December so it was more of having a run together before he goes

Had another look at the video and saw the shifter shaking badly so it may be the motor and box mounts are shot .It's worth checking IMHO

your right oldie my gear box mount has a tear line on right hand side, will swap out with spare and see if makes improvement.
