• 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.

  • Yeah it's just the diff is quite aggressive, it's a plate type 1.5 way one designed for gravel rallying really, so it's got aggressive ramp angles etc for that. It's a lot harder work to drive than with an ATB.

    GTi6 / XSi will be great, particularly on sealed stuff.
