Hi all,
Lurked here for a little while and have paid up today to become a real member.
Having been racing (sprints and club days) MX5s here in Australia for the past 6 years, (built a Turbo Malibu Gold NA6) i decided to get back to basics with a decent stock car that could carry a set of track wheels and weekend away bags but still be a bit of fun and competitive. Oh and CHEAP!!
The 172 seemed to fit perfectly.
Picked up a 2002 172 for a decent price and so far it has been fun.
The main motorsport i will be invoved with this year is the New South Wales Hill Climb Championship.
Plus a few sprint days here and there.
Nothing major Mod wise will happen anytime soon with this car as i want to focus on my abilities first and foremost.
I have competed in 2 Hill Climb Rounds so far and a Regularity event.
2nd in class for the Hill Climb and 1st for Regularity at Wakefield Park.
I have 2 rounds this weekend at Mt Panorama in Bathurst and very much looking forward to it.
Still trying to get used the whole FWD thing though!!
Anyways, Great forum you guys have here.
Hope to contribute to it.
