Note to self don't try putting a tube in the petrol tank and suck like they do in the movies to get a good flow coming out of the tank. Kinda did this and got a mouthfull of petrol. Everytime I burped smelt like Bp lol

You were that desperate for a drink? :D * Hands Luke some Breath Mints*

A smart idea would have been to use a fuel pump to pump it out, but oh well.

Awesome!

The racing go kart I purchased I found out is an Arrow AX6 with KT100S motor (5hp more than the 'J' motor) ... fresh rebuild and new tyres. The kart is worth 4 times as much as I paid for it. Bargain! :D Its a good thing when the seller has no idea what he's got.

Identical to this model:

Now I just need to get:

club membership and racing licence - $250

race kart suit - $230

race gloves - $40

race boots - $190

:D

I'm already browsing the kart tuning shops for parts :P I've also checked my health cover ... I'm all set :laugh:

Also ... the next SAU Kart Mania night ... you reckon they'd let me bring this out onto the track? :laugh:

i dont think you would wanna be bringing that kart on the sau karting events......we destroy half of those karts....yours wont survive either lol

You say that as if I'm not ruthless enough? :D

You'd have to catch me first too. The KT100S has 16hp (and J motor has 11hp) compared to the Honda motor's 6hp in the Kart Mania karts :D

Anyway, we all know those Kart Mania karts are rubbish.

You need to grab one of them bike motors of yours and transplant it onto the go kart like this guy :D

Ha! Love the cockhead who touches the hot tyre at 1m45s ... idiot :laugh:

you also need to install banana peel launcher and red turtle shell cannon

Can do! :D

i now you will be twice as fast as us but you will be coming into lapped traffic....and even if your being lapped, no one likes to let people pass easily lol

Hmm ... you also don't believe I can set myself up for passing manoeuvres? :D

:laugh:

If I can set my 250cc race bike up on track to pass the 1000cc at Mallala ... do you think I can set up a passing maneouvre with 3 times the power and braking ability an Arrow kart has compared to Kart Mania karts? :D

:laugh:

once again ruby you are forgetting that we are talking about a SAU karting night.....now you have been to a fair few of them and how many times do we get those yellow flag/lights.....you can pass me all you want but if i dont slow for a corner lookout for a hit :P it always happens specially the richmond track.....you set a pass on the inside of the other person on the back straight....get the pass done and BANG just because they feel the need to slow down by crashing into you....on track when your racing bikes/cars people dont purposely try to hit you....on the go kart track its on like dodge 'em karts

And you're forgetting the day they'd let a 16hp kart on their track, it would be a cold day in hell :laugh:

Mmm, been looking at 35hp Rotax karts :D ... anyone got a spare $7K :D

i think the main thing is its a race on a 1 lane track, last time i had the 3rd fastest lap and we still come majorly last. its more of a bumper car session then a race. the only passes i seen that were clean was a few of mine, but then you have to wait 20min for an opening to get that.

Yeah the last night out on karts saw alot of action and fierce racing from the top 4. But yet again, "age and experience" prevailed over "young and dumb" :D

All in the name of fun however. :D

I've driven an Omega KT100S kart around the Bolivar track years ago and they're easily more than 2 x faster than K mania heaps of shit.

I'm looking at getting a recreational licence to use the Bolivar track while I set up the kart and see how competitive it might be in a particular class. Its an old kart being an Arrow AX6, but I'm not expecting Mark Webber results. I'd be happy with practice, then going thru the Probation period, before getting my C grade licence and then looking at a semi-serious kart like an AX9 with a blue-printed motor by Ian Williams or other workshop. ... or a Rotax if I can stretch the money that far, and I think I'm good enough.

    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
    • I'm 22 years younger than you mark, and I'm operating in the exact same way! Ha ha ha
    • All clamps are oem    one question is , what is the bit at the top on high pressure pipe where it connectes to intake manifold and other side goes toward the engine( see item in red circle in diabram attached)   ? Seen some people stating that should be removed on boosted application and skyline is boosted from manufacture so little puzzled. Mine is around 23pwi (700 hpish)   also some state it could be the bonjo bolt crash washer so bought two washers
    • what do you mean dead platform? People buy older, out dated and less power cars on "Dead platforms" for over $65k all the time.
    • That is really nice! Very nice finish when you have an oven to do the crinkling nice and evenly!
