Modified MR2T attacks Hillclimb Time Trial

[eFABIO]

The Weatherly Hillclimb is perhaps one of the most challenging and technical courses I have driven. Turn 3 is known as the "wall", for it's so steep it must be taken on the outside. There's also a "blind jump" at the top, though I tried to minimize "air-time" this year compared to previous attempts.

Here's a glimpse coming down the "wall". (*I did this last year with my stock turbo MR2).

Thanks for sharing! What upgrades to the suspension and brakes have you done to prep for these type of events?

I have KYB adjustable w/ Intrax springs (2"drop), and swear by Porterfield R4S pads. Still on stock 91 rotors. The tires are probably most important item, and this time on Khumo Victoracer. They are really sticky compared to the Toyo 888's.

Finished 2nd in Class (SSM), and 17th overall out of 64. Not shabby for a DD!

Nice, looks like fun. I used to run Kumho Victoracer V700's on my track wheels. Great tires, but they got heat cycled to death before I even wore out the tread.
