My 2008 hillclimb race car build is now 100% finished and after a bit of fettling today ready to race tomorrow and monday at the famous Shelsley Walsh.

It's still a bit rough around the edges, the paint and bodywork needs tidying up after a few spills last season but the build is finished and that's what matters.

Looks purposeful.

Is there a particular reason the passenger side lights are blanked?

Hi Rob,

Car looks good, what mods have you done since last season.

Rgds Red.

To prevent the electrics from getting wet.

Fully stripped (100kgs lighter)
t45 full grp n weld in cage
2.1 mega Zen spec engine
ap brakes
kazz diff

The list is endless but those are the big points.

Power up from 420bhp to 491bhp, torque up from 350lbft to 473lbft.

Looks good - similar to mine, just in white.

Are you going to run without a rear wing?

What wheel and tyre size you running?

rob4620

Yeah, OEM wing does nothing but add weight and no corners over 100mph.

17x7.5 wheel

slick tyres 210/620/17, the 620 is overall dia' instead of profile.

wrx450

Yep the wing does nothing on a hillclimb. I am the only wingless car in the whole field. You will most likely get a lot of advice from the punters as to why a wing should be on the car.

Would that size be simiar to a 215/45?

See you Monday.

rob4620

I know what you mean.

They look about 45 profile, I'm too lazy to go and measure.
