Thanks,

I've been to a few club day meets down at Henderson and looking at getting a 30/32mm chassis with a Rotax/Leopard. Which catergory did you race..?

I wanted to go the 100S but it seems too troublesome needing a push start all the time, I want to be able to go out on my own and do a few laps when I want without needing someone to push start me all the time. Thats why I'm going the 125's.

Cheers,

I dont know wheter clubs in your area are mostly aka affiliated but next year i know the aka is enforcing that 125 drivers have a b grade licence which means you need to have 10 races under your belt other wise you cannot drive the rotax or leopard it is a high possibiltiy of this being put into motion so watch yourself you could have a kart but not be able to drive

Senior classes.....lots of unhappy 125 owners out there and this is creating lots of debate. 125 class for juniors is experimental and B class. As for push starting....trial and error and easier at Cockburn as its downhill...other tracks not so easy! Clutched versions of the 100 cc engines are availaable but at a cost. Drop me a PM if you need any further advise.

Cheers,

Michael

I am looking at selling my BMax with rebuilt 125 leopard as I just don't have time to use it anymore. Also have a 3 Kart side opening trailer but the setup will not be cheap.

Comes with Kart stand,Mychron 4 with data logging, spare rims, sprockets etc.

Send me a PM if you want to discuss prices.

Cheers

Ken

karting is great fun. best tip is to start out in the mid range karts and work your way up. the 125's are pretty punishing to start off with but it all depends on your size and background.

but give kartmart a buzz.. my parter Megan is the one behind the counter and she should be able to help you with your karting needs.

hurricane kart club is a good club to join as they dont charge members for practice use (except club runs etc) unlike the others.

also, for those with 125's, shifters and opens once every three months or so there will be meetings down at collie, contact kartmart or cockburn kart hire regarding this, the next one is at the start of december from memory. This is great fun as you get to max your kart out around most of the track :)

10 meetings before you can run a rotax in seniors? aw man, here goes my plans for shits and giggles karting fun when i have some cash spare to buy one

denver, yeah it sucks.. whats even worse is from memory (very bad right now, got out of hospital 2 days ago) is that I think they are getting rid of practice/recreational licences!!! :)

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
