Posted this in a new thread since I can't edit the old one.

Ok Gave hume a call. I reckon probably the best time to Book is:

29th June Sunday or 6th July Sunday some time.

Cheapest way to do it is to book the whole track out for an hour. Cost is 540$ So if we get 10 people it's 54$ each

Maximum of 10 karts in one race. If we get more than 10 people wanting in, could probably work something out, but would probably need some like 16-20 people, and then we'd book it out for two hours.

Format would be : 3 x 15 minute races or 4 x 10 minutes races. (plenty to tire you out lol).

If people are in on this, please advise what days you can make it or not. If we get 8 or 10 will book this in. Booking the track exclusively for an hour is the cheapest, means only us are on it too. Hume also has a BBQ etc to use.

Yes for 2 either date currently.

Can you check the format. 4 x 10min = 40 mins allowing for breaks we should be able to get 5x10min in I think.

Comparing to normal prices of $45 for 3 x 10 min and we don't need to have any specific numbers, which is the better deal?

You can try but trust me I think after the 4th race you'll be pretty knackered.

Checked the format on the phone. I think other wise, each 10min race is charged at 17$ so thats 68$ for 4 races compared to 54$ if we get 10 people. A 5 minute break between each race isn't too much anyway.

Can have a look of doing it individually, but it is around 17$ for a 10 min race, or a bit more for a 15 minute race.

I agree that after 3 or 4 races the arms are very tired. If you ask the guys how much 30 mins is (3*10 min races) you will find it is a LOT cheaper than the 10 min race by its self.

This way we don't need 10 people and we don't need a set time.

The price for 3*10 mins sessions is only like $40 but you can get caught up with slower people or real arseholes if you don't hire it out

Ok Unless I cant count looks like 7 people have said yes so far. Will give it a day or two before I decide to book in, looks like 29th of June.

Also just to cover myself, need to tell you guys you will need to sign a disclaimer form, just incase something happens as usual, you will also either need to bring a helmet or use one there.

Probably a bit too late to book in an hour now, this thing slipped my mind, bit short of 10 people too, but happy to turn up sunday arvo to have a go just booking in individiually, or reschedule to some other time.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
