alot of cars get upset by that crest at the top of the last hill if you stay on the power over it. One of the tricks to a fast time is getting that line right and learning just how much trottle you can hold over there before going flat out again until the finish.

I did see the splits, and compared them to mine... my first and 3rd sectors are about the same as yours, but I suffer in the 2nd sector. I don't really have a gear for the 2nd loop. 2nd is too low, or I don't have enough traction. And 3rd is a bit to tall and under the boost threshold, but still quicker than 2nd gear.

I think I'm at the limit of what the car is capable of on Toyo RA1s and know the track back to front. You'll find you start to go alot faster with a bit more local knowledge. Its a pretty technical track.

I was using 4.375 diff and 2nd (1.902) and 3rd (1.308) gears during the run. launch in 2nd too. not sure what revs I hit down the hills, but I haven't hit the 7800 rev limit.

Hey thanks for the postive feed back , hey Harry did you see the spilts , the car felt a bit nervous going through the last few corners before the finnish and it looks like from the times thats one area that can be improved , i couldn`t beleive how much crap was on my tyres when i got them off the car .. looks like you need to clean then between runs , I recon there are gains with making the rear end work a bit better .. I was using one of " Top Gears" H190lsd`s with a 5.1 diff and taking off in second. which worked out great .

yeah D, I've doen a few hillclimbs with it. My best time is a 46.33. Don't really think I can go much faster in its current setup. Maybe a couple of tenths if I managed to jag the elusive 'perfect run'. If it doesn't sell by then, a set of slicks might be on the agenda next year

Thanks for that, have you done Mr Cotton yourself with the new 1200? Ive probably missed the post if you have as these threads move so fast. regards, d.

that was from the AHC in Nov. didn't get a look at the car or talk to the guy, but according to the results he's from NSW, its 1298cc and ran a 52.39.

Anyone see this B10 there or what setup it has?

yeah, that thing was a weapon. held the U2L record for quite a while in the high 47s IIRC - something like 47.8???

good news is he's still got it, but doesn't have much time to run it these days from what I hear. I did see him in the results from a hillclimb earlier this year, but from the times it looked as though he was having problems, or maybe the tyres had gone off from sitting too long.

what ever happened to Paul Gray's dark green L20 powered coupe?

Good stuff Cam. That's a great time for your first event at Mt Cotton. You really need to do a few hillclimbs in a row there to get the track worked out properly. I reckon you'll be giving the sport sedan record a real shake if you do a few more events.

there's a nice shot of your car in the hairpin here under "Nippon-other" category:

Its one of those things that looks like a 120Y coupe
