Gokarting Now Booked For Fri 8 Aug 8pm Gepps Cross $50 Pay Bunny By 31 July


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at setting up a go karting towards the end of next month if there is enough interest,

It will be at the Richmond track as its most central and if we can get enough numbers (approx 30 people) we can look at doing one of the 180Lap races with driver changes. 3 drivers doing 3X20 Lap stints

Last time i went (and Ash) it was $45 a head (from memory)

Just sorting out work ect at the moment and will be able to set it up properly soon.

Once i know if there is some interest i will contact them and get more information like maximum and minimum numbers, cost and some available dates

cheers, Nick

if its teams of 3, can i suggest trying to get equal weight for each team, big fat bastards like me are at a real disadvantage in carts, so equal weight would make it a fair competition.

this was brought up by nightcrawler back when we were doing his turbo (so i have been thinking about this for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time)

i was going to suggest organizing team on the night to try and make an even playing field through out the carts.

I haven't found that to be true over the course of a race - I went last night and I was 10-15kg over most of my competitors and much less fit, off the grid they get away off the line quicker which pisses me off, but somehow I hold momentum and speed through the corners and maintained a podium position through it all.

thats called skill, just cause they are lighter doesn't make them better drivers

I'd like to think so but there's no need for the pillow talk!

The races can become very long and I had a lot of time to compare my lines to someone I was trying to overtake - there's a lot more to it, much of which is likely a series of minor misadjustments on a competitors kart, but there were 3 or 4 corners where I was always massively faster than anyone else that I thought there must be something else at work - like my love of steak!

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.

    • hi mate, HKS cooler piping still available by any chance?
