Hey guys,

update:

Started my preparations towards the new exhaust manifold. dropped off the stock manifold to get a head flange cut, could be ready as early as next week!

Priced up the steam-pipe (butt weld fittings if u are looking for them) in various sizes, now need to pick a size and use it!

Anyways the very next thing i will be doing to it will be a oil change, and quite possibly a slight advance on the ignition timing to see what it does (should give slightly more grunt and economy)

Hey Guys,

Competed in the Huntley Hill Climb on the weekend. Was AWESOME fun, i would strongly recommend it to ANYONE who wants to have a go at club level competition.

The course is, to be honest, fairly tame in a street powered car, i was flat most of the way bar 1 corner, which i always goofed up!

My best run of the day was a 32.51 (tho my 4th may have been quicker, i haven't seen the time) I think (and hope) there is heaps more in it yet, i just need to learn how to launch it properly, and get a stronger clutch!

on my 3rd run i tried for a big launch, i probably didn't release the clutch fast enough and (clutch) smoke ****** out of the bonnet vent woops!

In my wisdom i forgot to take a camera but a couple of other of the Toymods crew were there and got some pics. Once they have uploaded them i will post some up here.

I will definately be back there again some time, and hopefully with some launching skills, and porbably a stronger clutch!

Cheers

Nathan
