PA Hillclimb

Thanks guys. I'm ready to come out and play again!

I am sure that this has as many answers as members to this forum. I auto cross a Lotus Exige with the PCA. I am not sure what the changes it would take to make it eligible to hill climb. But more importantly Idon't want to find out about off-course repair costs. I am looking into Mikef's Integra but...
