That keysborough track is rough as guts. My back hurt for 2 days after going there. That place in cambellfield looks good as the karts are 2 stroke :uh-huh: should be good for 80kmh :D

go karts rock. i've just recently got into the whole scene and i'm loving it.

have fun guys.

oh, and definately go to an outdoor one unless the indoor is massive. generally more overtaking opportunities on an outdoor track as it's wider so it's more fun. and don't worry if it rains, you'll have even more fun.

Ok guys as pawson suggested I have put up another poll for you guys to vote on which venue you would like to go for the Go-Kart event.

I think it is pretty much out of Ace Karts (Sunshine) and AustKarts (Port Melb). If there any other suggestion, make it quick as we will need to make a booking soon.

Please check the event section for the other poll.

So far we already have the minimum no, which is great!!

:P

Ok guys it is official now!!

The Go-Kart day is going to be next week on the Nov 1st Saturday and the VENUE IS!!!!!

PORT MELBOURNE.. hehe

The poll has been going for a while now and it seems that more people prefer AustKart at Port Melbourne.

Will make the booking sometime today to oragnise a time for us to squeeze in.

I know there is the Dyno thing as well at Brooklyn on this day so most likely the Go-Kart event will be sometime in the afternoon say about 5 pm and than maybe after we all can go for a bite and have a small meeting with Jamezilla in regards to the SAU offical club.

And since we are in South Melb, I guess the KEG at Albert Park seems like the best choice so far.

Keep posted to the finer details, will be up soon.

That's cool rs7, just come down and have a drive.

I just spoke to the guys at AustKart today and they can fit us in at 6.00pm on Sat 1st Nov.

The race will be split up into 2 races due to the amount of people.

Each race going for about 30 mins for a 40 lapper, so it is going to cost $48 per person.

I have give them a call back tomorrow to confirm everything.

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
