also how much for full set of medium sway bars?

There's now a non-adjustable front bar and the adjustable rear bar available. Unfortunately I don't have prices yet.

I was against (and beaten) by a Integra Type R, WRX and RX7. All of which where on semi slicks. I was less than 2sec behind the RX7 which won and was a fully spec'd race car. With some decent tyres I should be able to fight for the class win.

My latest outing was the King Edwards Park State Hillclimb.

The Teins made for a big improvement in grip in the short tight hillclimb. I hit the rev limiter in 2nd three times.
I was still on the stock 16 inch tyres so that's by far the biggest limiting factor.

I too entered a khanacross on sat at my local track
I finished 3rd behind a clubman(700kgs) and Honda s2000 motor
The clubman had two drivers semi slicks
First lap was a 58.04 my second was a 56.10 and my best was 56.02
The clubmans best was 54.04
With some better tyres and some front camber I think I will be close next time

Good to see you're getting out there and giving them a run for their money. You're doing well to get that close to a clubman.

When I installed my coilovers I dialed in about 2deg camber on the front (using whiteline camber bolts) and it made a world of difference. Though I'm not sure how much of it was because of the added camber or due to the coilovers. Either way, my last hillclimb I was within a second of cars that were 2 seconds+ ahead of me in my first one.

Holy shit!! Nice!!
I'd be too scared to drive that close to the trees though, let alone on a dirt track.

This reminds me of that song :P

Looks like fun! I wanted to have a go at hillclimbs as i have bern around Wakefield a couple of times in the past. Is it in an open area or can you hit trees and embankments?
