Cheers! The M15A engine is great, it's got really high compression and VVT so it's quite good from 400-6800rpm. It doesn't get any bump steer really, but the plate type LSD does pull the steering wheel about a bit so that might be what you see in the vid. Back end is reasonably planted but it does lift off oversteer if provoked. The hillclimbs are cheap as to do here, $60 to enter

Ah. awesome - yeah was looking at the wheel corrections and just assumed it was the back end shifting. Looks like a load of fun. I'm thinking of using my 306 XSi as base for a very basic hillclimb/club track day car. Nothing crazy at all, just to learn and have fun. I have a set of light weight Citroen wheels to chuck on and I'll get some braided brake lines and good fluid and give it a go soon. Really wish I'd kept my old GTi6, or at least kept the engine, gearbox and Quaife diff. My engine won't rev out that nicely though.

Finally watched the hillclimb vid. That's great - the little ignis engine sounds absolutely unburstable. Does the back end skip about a little bit? Felt like there was a little bump steer going on. Really makes me want to get involved. Will have to wait a few years until the kids get old enough to help me as pit crew.
