RACE: Bergrennen Oberhallau 2016
This time i went to the local Hillclimb Race (Bergrennen) at the small village of Oberhallau close to my home. With burning sun, sunscream on the camera-lens, a dozen of umbrellas in front of me and wrong settings on the camera i wasn’t really in big Documentary and photographer mode. But still i’d like to share a few highlights from sunday with you. Please don’t mind the bad Picture quality 🙂 BTW, that certain Hakosuka in th e pictures i will talk about in a later post. i’m in contact with the owner since a few weeks i guess, but still need confirmation it’s his car and then probably will…

240Z: FS5W71C Transmission Clutch housing removed
Finally i found some time to go back to work in the garage. unfortunately i wasn’t that successfull. My goal was to completely disassemble the main parts of the 5-speed original transmission to check the gears.
