Would love to see some of those maybes firm up and become yes'es :smile: (if only for the first meet!)
Yeah, I promise there will be more day time meets :smile: I would like to see as many as possible at this meet just so I can meet everyone and get a general vibe as to what everyone would prefer their monthly meet to be, it could well end up being midday on a sunday or something along those...
Sprints and hillclimbs are proper sunday afternoon motorsport. Sit around for most of the day, give it balls out for 3-4 lots of anything from 20 seconds to a minute, sit around for another half an hour, then roll back down the hill to the pits.
It's relaxing but the chance of stuffing it is...

In short, No.
In long, Nooooooooooooooooo.
Using HIDs in short bursts (typical high beam use) kills them fairly quickly. Plus they take a while to warm up so you won't be getting full brightness for most of that use anyway.
You've already seen what I'd recommend - OSRAM Nightbreaker Unlimited...
On a standard car it controls the amount of braking effort that goes to the back wheels, so they don't lock. As weight shifts forward, the back end lifts up, moving the rear suspension beam and through a linkage the bias conpensator. The less weight over the back end, the less braking effort is...
Never anything to sort.
My money is on your dad's garage getting low effort from the back brakes, so they put it up on a ramp to find the rear brake bias adjuster disconnected and missing the arm. They bought in an arm and fitted it, then cabletied it so that the back brakes started making a...
I'm not even sure it should have an arm to tie back in the first place - see the vosa link.
I'm guessing it's had an actuating arm fitted (probably when the garage tie-wrapped it, which they shouldn't have done either), and it's seized, but it doesn't matter whether it's seized or not so long...
Yes, it's deliberately not connected up. No doubt they would've failed it on low effort on the rear brakes too - also deliberate. If it's connected up the car will lock the rear wheels under heavy braking.
