Yeh thats the best way too do it. We went as a big group from work after we finished busy period. Had like 8 teams of 3 peeps, 160 laps all up. 20 laps then pit, if you dont then ya get flagged and do 10 second penalty stops. Ended up taking over my bosses seat, so was pittin in on my team then jumping into the other teams car and racing that. Towards the end the karts were just skipping like crazy, aint been that hammered in ages me thinks

Instead of Kart mania are there any fast Karts around still?

2stroke powa... :P bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

EDIT: Bah can't find them in SA. :D

They used to be up near Kart Mania Gepps Cross; went one day to find a whole lot of people from Minda down there. I still can't believe they put a down syndrome kid on one of their Karts. He came out of the pits, flattened it and didn't let off. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa down the straight then bang in to the tyres. He didn't turn. argg... he appeared pretty hurt too.

I know a lot of them shut down due to Insurance premiums,

Hit the nail on the head. Adelaide Fast Karts closed down once the insurance premiums went through the roof after September 11th. It took about a year before they closed down (after they named premiums were going to go up). I used to go there all the time, it was wicked and you literally had to 'roll' around the corner's (or drift :(). And they had no restrictions around the tyres -> Meaning proper racing with no stupid nonsense. Anyways, tis closed and wish it was back. :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
