Day 1 best run 1:56.80. The only run where it hasn't refused to downshift into 2nd for the hairpin at the end of the first 3 straights. First in class by 1.11 at the moment and 15th outright from something like 116 entries. Awesome hillclimb!

Not quite as fast as last year. The Nankangs I used previously had a much larger range of sizes, allowing me to run wider fronts which improves the handling balance and lower OD for shorter gearing and better accelleration. Yokohama's range of sizes sucks so I lost both of those advantages this year. Also last year's Nankangs were a season old and ready to be replaced. I was waiting for the nex...

This was one of the more fun runs with a few little slides which is really what this car is about - RWD fun. It didn't downshift into 1st for the hairpin - that's what the hand gesture was about. I must have tried to downshift too early.

Переглядів 69Рік тому
Changed from the Zeknova 140TW tyres to my usual Nankang AR1 semis for this event. So far it has lowered it's PB from 49.8 to 49.4 but the extra cornering grip and weight transfer has really highlighted how bad the LSD is on this poor old thing. It just fries the inside tyre going up the hills now. I'm lifting off in many places to avoid that. I fitted a ridiculously huge 30mm adjustable front ...
Celica Esses Hillclimb 2023 NSWHCC 31.67
Переглядів 160Рік тому
Esses Hillclimb, for low powered cars, is basically a drag race with one corner in the middle. Celica relies on corner speed to make all its time, so there's not much it can do to go faster on this course. 31.67 was good enough for the class win on the day, but over half a second slower than the record.

Damn that thing romps
Nice mate! What mods and hp? Any issues with hard use?
It's mainly about handling - BC coilovers, custom spring rates, Whiteline rear sway bar and alignment. Engine is stock. PowerFC to tune the lift point to lower rpm to gain mid range power. Port matched factory header and straight thru 2.5" rear muffler. 1ZZ baffled sump for some protection against oil surge. And I use 15" wheels with lower OD tyres to lower the gearing for better acceleration.
@hillclimbharry what this car needs! especially baffled oil sump. enjoy it mate! (corolla Tsport 2zzge owner💪)
Awesome comparison mate. After your last few uploads, now i know why you weren't at the Australian Hillclimb Championships. You can't be in two places at once.
If the AHC was any other weekend I would have been there, but Bathurst is hard to go past. Congrats on the win & record mate!
Love these!
Mount Panorama! So cool!
Awesome time! that's a huge chunk off the record.
Nice work mate and congrats on the win. Your description of it being an uphill drag race with one corner for low powered cars is spot on. Huntley Hillclimb is basically the same. All you can do to improve is focus on your momentum through that one corner.
Smashed that record.
Nice run mate, sounds awesome as well, whats been done to it?
It's got a PowerFC to bring the big cams in earlier to improve midrange power. And replaced the rear muffler with a 2.5 straight thru to make a bit of noise and save a few kg. Intake, headers and front half of the exhaust are stock.
@@hillclimbharry awesome thanks mate, my young fella was in the same class as you, came third, was an awesome weekend
Very nice
Nice run mate
great lap. Thanks for all the car specs. When are you next @ Lakeside ?
Been a while since I've seen the Soarer
Heck yeah, Harry! That is some awesome driving on such a tight course!
well done
Thats was sick mate! Top driving.
Thanks Bas. I really miss this ute. It was great fun to drive and sounded sweet.
Open diff?
it was supposed to be a TrueTrac, but I suspect it might just have been a tightened stock cone LSD the way it seemed to open wheel up the 3rd hill into the right hander. Biggest let down was the dopey auto though. With a manual it would have been pretty good.
I didn't bother with any more video on Sunday, but with a shock adjustment the car improved to 62.9 on the first run Sunday, then 62.6 and 62.7. I made another little tweak to the shocks and with one more run did a 62.1! Extremely happy with how the big VE performed up that tight twisty hillclimb! Very surprised it mananged not just to beat my old Soarer, but completely annihilate it's 63.5 PB. The Commo is a beast :)
What's it like owning an ae111? Been looking into these cars for a while now
They're getting a bit old tbh and most will need lots of maintenance. Most don't get it either because they're mainly owned by P platers these days. It's common for them to have a flat spot or miss when cold. Mine had it - coil failed tests, leads failed tests, distributor had oil in it. Replaced all those parts and kitted the dissy. Plus plugs and dissy cap and rotor. O2 sensor is also a common fault. They're also renowned for being tappety/noisy at idle. On mine this was caused by cam lobe wear. I'd say it's the case for most of them. They're renowned for using oil as well, and that's concerning because they only hold about 3L from memory, so you have to keep a close eye on that. Synchros are another common issue but pretty obvious when you test drive them. Mainly caused by people not using a GL4 oil imo. Superstrut components are generally pretty worn out by now and are a little pricey to replace. Most people just convert to Mac Struts, which kinda ruins them imo. Some parts like TPS are very hard to get now. I think they're NLA. In all honesty, we're past the Goldilocks period for owning any 90s import. You're going to be up for alot of maintenance, and prices are going up now too.
Best find a garage kept or low milage one.
Sounds a bit better than my V6 lol
Ute sounds great mate, what system are you running? My 04 XR8 ute has Pacemaker extractors and dual Genie turbo mufflers.
Thanks mate. Mine's just standard with rear muffler delete. It was like that when I bought it and sounds so good I haven't changed it.
She stops real good
One of the advantages of weighing just 1000kg I guess.
@@hillclimbharry one of many
Got the results today. Best run was 48.5. I wasn't expecting it to be that good with the open diff and the way it falls off the big cams when you change up to 2nd gear on those steep hills. Beat an Elise as well :)
@@hillclimbharry same engine as an Elise
Yep SII Elise used the 2ZZ toyota engine. They're a bit lighter and more track focused.
you are forgiven..it is only a Toyota..ain't the best car on the planet. Get with the Ford Focus.
Nice driving as always mate, need an upgrade on that potato you're using for a camera though. Road looks just like I imagined it would as speed, all flowing and awesome and shit.
It is a good bit of road :) Really needed a bit more power there though. I kinda missed the Soarer...
Would have sames all those gear changes
long way to go for a hill climb, no wonder you stopped with a split cv boot
I should have done the last run... I didn't know it was cumulative timing where they add up every run for the results. Skipping that run meant instead of winning my class by 17seconds over a Lotus Elise, I was last. Actually worse than last - "not eligible for a final result" was my official result lol
I reckon there might just be a 63 in it - get rid of those 'comfort' lifts at a few of those turn-in points, and entering the esses a bit hotter is definitely possible. But there's lots of concrete and consequence up there... Definite 63 if I go another kg harder in those rear springs, but I think it's time to start on the ZZW30
Freak.. off a leash
I like the way you drive ;-)
Man I can't wait to get back out there... Forgies for the RB turned up today.
tangles01 Good stuff. You must be itching to drive it again!
Oh man I'm sooooo keen. I've started left foot braking in the falcon to transfer the skills onto track in the 32 lol.
Love your work dude. Quicker than most the Elises!
D R thanks mate
Is that time accurate... smooth as always but she's got some mid corner under steer doesn't she.
66.3 officially, so just over a tenth off - surprisingly close considering I had to make the GPS timer's start and finish lines on Google Maps! hehe Yeah, FWD is always going to under, and it's probably still a bit soft in the rear spring rates, and I'm still working out my plan of attack with the left foot braking here to reduce the understeer. Room for improvement in most corners yet. Hope it stays dry tomorrow - Hoping for a 65...
harrydoling thats impressive man... i reckon you could dial out a lot of the under steer mechanically... but i agree with your driving style. Need to carry that speed mid corner with low power... rockon you have a half second easy just from the mistake on the turn 9 mistake.
yeah, totally ballsed T9 up. Tried turning in flat out and by about 2/3rds through it became apparent that it wasn't going to work! lol
Exactly how it looked, an up the hill that slowing on exit will be a hash time penalty.. so yeah more time there for sure.
I didn't trouble too many apexes on that run either! Easily 65s in it the way it is. I've had a few people with fast FWDs tell me my rear spring rates are too soft compared to the front, and I haven't even given the thing an alignment yet - it's probably got far too much toe-in on the front. I did tweak the rear toe settings earlier this year, because it visibly had far too much rear toe-in. I'll have a look at the front this weekend.
like the camera angle what time did you run ?
got down to 63.5 on Sunday. I think this run was a 64.9.
Great video! What setup are you running on your suspension?
Thanks. Suspension mods are just BC coilovers with 16/10kg springs.
I've been reading a lot about BC coilovers over the forums, a recommended setup also best bang for buck. What about wheels? What size and tire setup if you don't mind sharing.
Yep, BC's are pretty good. I didn't like the standard 14/10 spring setup though. 16/10 is much better balanced and still easily comfortable enough for daily driving. My track wheels are 18x9.5" +38 all round with 265/35 Nankang AR1 semis currently.
Appreciate the info, been looking to see what wheels that will work best for cornering. I like how your soarer performs out and impressed with it's cornering, might just copy your setup if that's okay. The +38 offset, did you experience any negative/positive effect from it? I'm assuming +50 will be ideal because of how the suspension geometry is.
+38 is a common offset and pretty tame, even completely road legal. No negative effects on handling imo.
fuk thats respectable for a soarer.
Throw in a Suprastick IV and a Transgo gearbox kit and you will be away laughing mate
yeah the street tyres complain a fair bit, but they're cheap and make it feel like its got an extra 100rwbhp. :) It would be a bit boring on grippier tyres with only standard power. ...
Lol nice work Harry! The steering wheel is a volume control. The more you turn, the louder it squeals! :)
Great Vid thanks. The new surface looks nice
No gloves?
Phone camera?
@twinchargedca18 It had 205 and 225/50 R15 Toyo RA1 semi slicks.
Nice car, sounds great and looks like a lot of fun. Any idea what rear tyres are on the little datto? i have issues making my stick on road rubber.
@prtjtm29 cool. It was good fun trying to keep up! I've got a vid of my old Supra on my channel too.
@stevetorque tell him to slow down so I can get those close-ups then! lol
haha, im driving the supra!
@mattiusg hello garvey...
Cool car bro! Any chance it's for sale?
@nutbag36 yeah, Porsche demonstrating the strangely popular line at Hungry that keeps you inside the camber crest on the exit. Some people are scared of crossing that camber crest on the exit, some pretend that staying inside the on-camber section gives you better cornering speed, and others think that you need to stay left for the approach to Eastern Loop at the top of the hill. It was the only section of the track where I was faster than him though.
freakin awesome go the big tank :] .. porsche loves the late entries! all over the shop, cool that hes not afraid to chuck it around :]
Nice driving dude. Can tell your pushing fucking hard! =)
