Has anyone ever run at Harewood Hill Climb?

I run at Harewood, have done for a couple of year, there are lots of videos on youtube and one on my progress thread of me on here (not that good but gives you a idea) http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=238165. If my memory is right it is the longest permenant hillclimb in the country.

lol very lucky. I did put the mini heater in there earlier for you when i was working on the Ax, it seemed to have pretty much dried it out aswel over the 4 hours that i was there.

AlexB^p · 9th February 2011, 07:16

Ahh hero mate i was just gunna mop it up tonight lol i think stripping is on the cards and a mock engine fitting as i got a gearbox last night (swapped a bmc for it lol)

Anyway ill carry on with the strippage this week heres some pics of so far

firstly the worlds first 205 with a paddling pool!!

And the 2 spots of rust both sides behind tbe headlights that ive found

its all just taking apart atm sorry guys

AlexB^p · 16th February 2011, 08:45

Right the easy part is finished now itll be onto the exterior/underside/mechanicals in a few weeks im having to wait till ive got my nana sorted turns out its done the usual 3plug ecu trick and just failed completely gone into limp mode and died

so some of the cash for this is getting a dent

Anyway the interior is pretty clean heres a piccy (seatbelts are now gone too)

Ill.get my nana gti sorted out and then crack on with this asap getting it down to a bare shell haha also got a lot to mock up with so ill probably get the motor in the bay quite quick even if it has no internals

AlexB^p · 20th February 2011, 14:16

Mock up engine (well it looks like one haha)
Shall be going in so i can make up coolant hoses and see where wiring ect can be run

Dave_P · 20th February 2011, 16:47

2 prong head as well.

Is it going to be a 1.4 16v then?

AlexB^p · 20th February 2011, 19:46

43k engine aha

It might im undecided still on cc i think it may be though im just looking into it all

AlexB^p · 1st March 2011, 12:21

Right slight setback on this (still got loads to do anyway) but all of the engine stuff i mentioned is gone to my 106 as i need a car daily and 185bhp everyday well i couldnt resist lol
I still have a motor to mock up with it just means ill need to save more but ill be quicker in class a lol

KamRacing · 1st March 2011, 13:00

so what engine will you now go for? Same plan? I've just collected my 205. Theres no way it would be in anything but sports libre though if I hillclimbed. Needs a full respray now though

AlexB^p · 1st March 2011, 13:06

Same plan 16v probably a 1400 as dave says itll be more fun then as i can be quite well paced
im talking to a lad about a s1600 pugsport jp4 inlet and tb he has that i may snap up in a few months

i currently still have the 80mm wossners but ideally need to sell them to fund mapping lol
Ill get the chassis built first i think tbh then engine last maybe just take the one out my 106 when im at that stage i dunno lol

What spec is your 205??

KamRacing · 1st March 2011, 14:19

It will hopefully be an XU 1.6 16v engine but I want to get it running on a near standard engine first. Its got a 1.8 306 xsi engine currently which I will bolt a gti-6 head and hopefully some throttlebodies (just waiting for a friend to design his own)

AlexB^p · 1st March 2011, 21:19

Sounds fruity

i have a spare d6b engined gti sat at home thats fucked should you need any parts

AlexB^p · 25th April 2011, 17:54

been playing in the sun today

fitted wheel studs to the front as the hubs will be staying (rear beam ive left as im swapping it)

got myself a sponsor

lmao (freebie off a mate so thought why not)

and bodged this in so i can look at where to put switches ect (ill be buying a proper sidemount when im back from germany maybe some weld in rails) its out of date but i picked up 2 of them for 15 quid haha!!

basically little things as currently as you can see its on my drive as i had the nana in the garage doing a few bits ill be taking it back up there soon though and then itll come apart properly also started stripping my donor 205GTI down for subframes beam ect also got the front calipers discs and mintex 1144s sat in the unit ill be painting up and fitting them when i do the lines aswell as the wilwood bias valve i have

basivally starting on the little bits as i went a bit ott spending on my nana last few months lol

Dave_P · 25th April 2011, 19:04

Luckily hillclimb car seats dont need to be in date.

Any of you guys near Shelsley Walsh hillclimb?

My mate with a 2.0 205 has sent an entry away for the one in June so we might be down there all being well.

AlexB^p · 25th April 2011, 21:07

Shelsey walsh is where im looking to be running this aswell as my nan to learn a bit may come to say hi

unreal106 · 26th April 2011, 13:46

Dave_P · 26th April 2011, 16:41

It's early June, that's if my pal gets an entry. It's normally oversubscribed so as he's not registered for the British or local c'ship he might not not in.

AlexB^p · 27th April 2011, 07:07
