To get up to the special stage, first car through at 7H 45, I had a realy good blast up the mountain. 
With the hairpins you bearly get into third gear, pile in on the breaks, get it into first (Have to heal and toe to get some revs on when breaking and clutching out) get on it in first, the back comes round on its own. 7000 rpm 2nd 7000 rpm 3rd break into the next.
Let a 205 pass after passing a 2 slower cars as I could see in the mirror that it had mud flaps big seats with full harness"s roll cage serious stuff. No number on the doors as it went past but off on the chase. He was hitting the handbreak in the hairpins and this was slowing him down I think. But I was stuck on his ass as he could't get traction. Or the 19s a good car for the mountains 
Some pics of the rally

Cars parked down by the arrow so a good hike up the mountain to get the heart rate up.

The 19 16v lifts its rear wheel I'm sure.

19's lift the wheel, you feel when the back end follows the front on a hard tight corner.
I had the Konis on the back way to stiff but as the original shocks on the front were a bit tired it would tend to under steer. Now with new Konis on the front the back was realy stiff and I could feel it when it got its leg up on the back realy easy.
Set the back shocks one half turn from soft which is standard (base) setting and now its good, and less hard on the back LOL. |
