JAS-25T

It cost us $1500 for the kart. We have since (last couple of weeks) pulled down the motor ourselves and found that the whole hting is rooted. new motor.....$1000! spewing!

Ill be in contact!

I doubt anyone would be keen, but try Bezerkly......at least they could maybe talk you out of it ahhahahahha.

4 days later with the new plugs. the problem returns. Has anyone got some decent pics of what they taped? Might have to try this before i fork out 600 for splitfire coils.

Bloody Mexicans.

pics from the day?

This is true......only for racing though.

you didnt have a panel filter inside the airbox prior???

I have an auto elec down here Marsssssssssssssssss but I doubt your willing to come to the gong to get it done ahahha

Sorted just with new plugs. inspected all coil packs. no signs of cracks

there is also something called www.v8race.com.au as well its 5 hot laps of EC

Im finally in the club................. going to change plugs and check the coils while im at it.

got blow-by?

NOTE: Please take this info with a pinch of salt. It is only my experience, and not a definative guide. I take no responsibility for others use of this information. OK, Here is the info off the top of my head. First and foremost, there are a few different types of suits. Single layer - One outer Layer of fire proof material Dual Layer - Two Layers of fire proof material, One outer, one inner Triple Layer - Three layers of fire proof material, One outer, two inner. Single layer is suitable for club events, upto and including motorkhanas, hillclimbs, sprints. Dual Layer is suitable for anything in the National level of motorsport - Rallys, targa's and the above mentioned stuff - Not including things like V8 supercars. Triple Layer required for any FIA stuff and international rally's. There are two standards that are recognised by CAMS and FIA. And that is the 1986 FIA standard and the 2000 FIA standard. Without this approval on the neck of the suit the suit cannot be used in the events of national and state level. Apparently the 1986 standard is being phased out, but CAMS has not yet put a due by date, so you may find that most shops are selling these suits at reduced prices. Next, Suit Material. There is from what I see, Wool & Nomex. Wool is a natural fibre and as such has some different properties to that of Nomex, which is a man made material. If you want to find out what they are......google it. As for which is better, Nomex is more expensive, looks shineier (is that a word?) and feels nice (too me) on. Wool is less expensive by almost about a third, looks more dull and can be (but not always) itchy on the skin. For go-karting (racing) you need an abrasive resistant suit, which is made from a polymer like nylon. These suits CANNOT be used in car racing due to the non compliance with the fireproof material requirements. So for my case a single layer suit will be suitable since I will not be racing go karts, only mucking around in them. so, there it is....... A very simple guide/layman explanation of race suits how what where.

Yeah, coming from a background of fabrication I would say that it would only cost an extra $50 or so dollars for an off the shelf non "shit" one. The amount of time you spend on chasing things up for the fabricator (who should have access to sheet aluminium ) is probably worth the $50. So I say, unless you need one to fit a certain space in the engine bay buy one off the shelf. edit: added bit - to answer your question. Blackwoods and Capral.

I've found out a bit yesterday after going to a few shops to find a bit of info.....will post up what I found out soon.

Are outsiders from thsi forum welcome, if they meet all other criteria?

what about a SAU branded toolchest/box?

My cousin just put the Garret version of this turbo on a 12a, it's also got a custom (made by him) steam pipe manifold. Like you say they seem rediculously huge for a piston car, but for the rotars they are well suited..............something to do with the exhaust overlap i.e. more exhaust gasses per revolution than a piston motor. Good luck with the mission of over 300rwkw

been smoking too much reefers

Has there ever been a monthly dinner not in North Sydney?

I dont know how you guys grab the attention of the cops. Touch wood, but I have never been pulled over for more than a RBT in 3 yrs of owning the car. Although I was once followed home, to which I thanked the cops for being so concerned with me getting home safely. Either way, hard luck, get it cleared and do mods to your car the right way - either get an engineers cert. for the mods or do them to the rta guidelines, then when/if they pull you over have a copy of the cert. or guideline and tell them to stick it in their cakehole.

X2 plus, my cousin took me for a drive in his back in 95............. I nearly came in my pants. so I got one 3yrs ago.

Hahahahah, thanks guys!
