My karting injuries and pains:

I have bruises and possible fractured bones at the bottom of my shoulder blades.

My fingers and forearms are sore and bruised

The tops of both my arse cheeks are aching

The inside of my right knee is bruised

My little toe on my right foot is bruised

Very sore right now. Had a hard time sleeping. :blink:

I got a bruise on my back like what Matty got as well from those seats

Also got bruises on both my hips from getting thrown around in the seat around the corners

The inside of my left knee is a bit sore from hitting near the steering column

I think that was from when I was right behind someone coming up to the S bend, they locked up so I was on the brake too & ended up in a spin in the middle of the track. Someone else comes around the corner & is about to straight-line me but luckily they locked it up & hit me more sideways than anything else.

I lifted my knees up just in case but when I got slammed I think my leg took a whack. Decent impact anyway though lol, sent me from the track over the kerb into the dirt :) That was fun dragging the kart back onto the track in the least widest part of the course!

I'd like to thank my driving partner Dan in regards to our result, as it took both of us working to the best of our ability to fail so hard.

Most of you guys that have bruises is due to the seat being too loose.

Next time make sure you choose a tighter fitting seat to stop you from moving around so much .

My co driver skinny f*k and he picked kart :)

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
