Here's a vid of my record setting run for the DSP class at the 2005 Hoopa Hillclimb.

It's a 2.2 mile course with a pretty steep grade. I had a top speed of 80 mph in my NA 2.5rs.

 

Amazing run, looks like you had perfect conditions.

Do you have a page with specs of that car and your setup? Are any of the mods hill-climb specific (besides tuning for torque?)

 

The car is required to have a spark arrestor type muffler (it just means you can't have a straight through exhaust) so you don't have sparks coming out of the exhaust and catching the hill on fire. You'll also need to mount a fire extinguisher in the car.

I have JIC coilovers with 500 lb springs in the front and 600 lb springs in the rear, stock front sway bar and 3 way adjustable rear sway bar set on the soft setting, and usual bolt-ons (I/H/E).

My alignment is -2.5 degrees of camber all around, 1/8 in. toe out in the front and 1/16 in. toe out in the rear.

When I brought my car to the SCCA Solo 2 National Tour, my car weighed 2660 (no driver and 1/8 tank of gas).

Gilbert,
What did you do for weight reduction?
