Thank you! A few guys from up this way are heading to Harewood in September, looks like a good hill to start on! :)

Yeah we will be here this weekend. About 4-5 clios too. I just used my gopro and edited the video to length from start and finish and took the time from the info.

Yeah last one is September its an all day affair. Are you a member of the club or was that what the sheet was for?

Ahhh I did see a Clio in the car park! Yeah its a great hill, very technical! Did you not fancy a wee go? Thanks for the pics and videos! :)

Looking forward to seeing this car at Forrestburn and can’t wait to get competing against it there too! It was a tough gig sitting out Kames sprint last weekend so need to get my fix at Forrestburn this month!

No one else worried about what looks like a crack in the disc?!

Thank you and great questions! Any non commercial vehicle that fits into the class structure yes. Non race National B license required which is £40-ish and just requires applied for. Helmet, gloves and overalls and you are pretty much set to go! The bracket is also something you'd need to go...

Bit of an update as I have since done 2 events in the car! June Doune hillclimb, New Extreme VR2 R5 tyres fitted, heavy passenger seat and airbag removed and replaced with another Sparco Evo. Cup alternator setup fitted and an EPAS column and controller fitted also. Two days hillclimbing with...

Lovely!! Serious spec here!

Makes sense now!!! haha! Plenty Gucci bits on her now!

Quick update, AC, pipework and condenser all gone, now in the process of converting to EPAS which obviously means no pump, lines and tank. Had a PAS leak from the dreaded NLA high pressure line so it made sense to get rid of it. Hope to finish at the weekend and get it tested to see how it...

Post Doune Hillclimb update, Having only driven the hill on one other event this was my second competitive visit to the venue. Saturday started off well with beating my previous PB by exactly a second with a 55.01. Albeit that time was set in a 1400 Metro GTi in full rally trim! First...

Small update on this, got a last minute slot to test on Sunday at Forrestburn Hillclimb on a track day. Final alignment was done on the Saturday and I was all set! Headed over to the venue on Sunday (40 mins from my house) and it was wet. Very wet. Perfect test for the Extreme VR2’s which for a...

Excellent thread! Looks a lot of fun! You've done the first race the right way, build on the pace now! One thing I would mention is that the spring rate limit on Gaz GHA on the front is 500lbs, I specced mine to 475lbs because of this. The info came from GAZ themselves.

Traklite Drive I'm led to believe. Very lightweight.

Name doesn't ring any bells, could have been before my time haha!

I’m at Glensanda quarry! Seil is lovely! I stayed in Lochgilphead for 10 years.

Thanks mate! Its a pretty cool place is Doune! I work just outside Oban, small world!

Some more progress on the old dog! Ordered some brand new GHA on 475lb springs for the front. Set up the camber and done a quick string alignment, going to revisit that today and double check all is as it should be. Got my extreme VR2’s fitted into my Traklite wheels. Got a stud and nut kit to...

Yeah more than likely! Need to watch the spending got a wedding to pay for! ?

Small matter of coming off tarmac onto sand with track tyres on! ? back end literally touched it an no more! ??

Thank you! Believe it or not, I had just clipped a bucket which was a 5s penalty so it was more of a grimace! ?

Wee update, bought a set of 15’s with worn out federal RSR’s, it was really just the wheels I was after. Also bought a set of part worn Extreme VR2’s to try out before I get a full new set. Then I bought a set of OZ F1 in 15” with Nankang NS2’s which will be no use to me for hillclimbing so...

Great thread! Cracking read! One thing though... it’s Bought not Brought! ???

Great thread! Definitely come to Doune, great hill at which I've competed once in 2017? and commentated at twice last year! I plan to be using my 172 this year in class A2 also! Hope to see you all soon!

Some progress since last posting. Sparco seat in on a Jon Foz mount (bolts to be changed to cap screws of 12.9 flavour) 6 point harness fitted Harness bar welded in Sparco wheel with MOMO boss fitted (resistors fitted also) Now on 182 wheels with rain sport 3 on the front and ditchfinder's on...

Haha, get some hillclimbs done!

Looks great! Any plans for competing in it?

Update, New inner tie rods in, new track rod ends and tracking done by string method but I’m not convinced. Going by the string there is quite a bit of rear toe in? Doing a longer drive tomorrow so I’ll see for sure then. P.s those rack boots are a total nightmare to fit while on the car! ?

They wont be the most competitive in class compared to the escorts with 300bhp but I'd like to do Mull and the Clark so that's the long term goal providing we get through the current consultation! Yeah I've done a fair bit over the years but nothing too special, mostly co-driving! Think I've...
