as the title suggests, anyone have a recommendation for good go-kart places around Melbourne? went to the one in Port Melbourne recently (indoor) and it was okay but after something a bit bigger/faster

been to Le Mans years ago and remember it being really good... any new places cropped up that I don't know about?

le mans is still the only place with longer track.

the one in cheltenham is indoor, and slow by comparison.

If you go le mans, take helmut with visor... i learn painfully no visor hurts lol.

HAHA I took my own bike helmet when me and friends went there. They were all giving me shit, calling me a wanker / pro for bringing my own helmet - I was laughing while their faces were hurting haha.

Not full gloves, fingerless gloves. They give you much better grip when you're pulling 250 pounds on lat pulldown...

Also stops your calluses from getting too big. It's not the most attractive thing when you're holding the hand of a girl...but hey...your men might not mind Ash :P

Gloves for the gym...

If you weren't such a "all compound, no gloves, no isolation" gym junkie, you'd have a pair :P

hey I do isolation... should have seen me doing laterals last night... I even did some bicep curls, but shhhhh don't tell anyone

lat pulldown is ghey... do some pullups like a real man;) lol

but yeah I don't use gloves... my wife uses gloves in the gym... but that's because I don't want man hands on my junk... so I'm all like women, put your gloves on and shit... totally... also I refuse to hold hands

back on topic... go karting eh... good stuff... can I wear dish washing gloves?

Cheap crap $5 sunglasses > Visor

Being 0.010 seconds of getting the Gold Kart qualifying time = compulsive rage. They are open till 11pm, so I tend to go late when I go simply so you wont be waiting in line forrrrreveerrrrrrrrrrr. I'd be a lot happier if they made the two tracks into one, longer track. 36 second laps isnt really a 'long' track.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
