With the help of my dad, we'll be doing an engine swap on my XR6 this weekend.Was looking forward to bringing the WRX out for some Ford bashing. Next time gadget. Next time...

They should turn the road into one way traffic that would be a fun run up the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should turn the road into one way traffic that would be a fun run up the mountain.One way would be great, would make a great hill climbs event. Yep bloody bikes do make it hard at times I have a few friends with high power bikes that love using the pass. I've told them heaps that one day you won’t win.With living at the bottom of the pass every weekend if sunny we get heaps going up and down. Is a nice drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
