I'm a member of Ipswich Kart Club .. joined last year and got into racing in Leopard (125cc electric start, clutch , water cooled, no need for a pusher to get you started), was out there yesterday for the first race meeting of the year (just don't ask how I went)

I believe they are expecting at least 100 ppl next weekend .. and there won't be a problem with a whole group of you guys turning up. Unfortunaely I won't be out there cause I'm out of town with work next weekend :laugh:

I would think that the minimum age would be about 7 to have a go ... but under 18 probably need parents signature on the paperwork, and don't forget to wear / take covered shoes

would be worth ringing the club to confirm this (Debbie - 0411 717 547)

you will have some serious fun, but not sure what karts will be available to drive (members are loaning their karts to the club for the day) and I'm not sure that the 'fastest' water cooled classes will be available. But I'm sure that if hire karts are the only ones you have driven before you will find these karts very different

Anyone who heads out .. If you need any information after the day about getting into the sport just PM me .. I'll be more than happy to help you out .. who know's we could end up with a SAU Karting Team

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
