Note to self don't try putting a tube in the petrol tank and suck like they do in the movies to get a good flow coming out of the tank. Kinda did this and got a mouthfull of petrol. Everytime I burped smelt like Bp lol

You were that desperate for a drink? :D * Hands Luke some Breath Mints*

A smart idea would have been to use a fuel pump to pump it out, but oh well.

Awesome!

The racing go kart I purchased I found out is an Arrow AX6 with KT100S motor (5hp more than the 'J' motor) ... fresh rebuild and new tyres. The kart is worth 4 times as much as I paid for it. Bargain! :D Its a good thing when the seller has no idea what he's got.

Identical to this model:

Now I just need to get:

club membership and racing licence - $250

race kart suit - $230

race gloves - $40

race boots - $190

:D

I'm already browsing the kart tuning shops for parts :P I've also checked my health cover ... I'm all set :laugh:

Also ... the next SAU Kart Mania night ... you reckon they'd let me bring this out onto the track? :laugh:

i dont think you would wanna be bringing that kart on the sau karting events......we destroy half of those karts....yours wont survive either lol

You say that as if I'm not ruthless enough? :D

You'd have to catch me first too. The KT100S has 16hp (and J motor has 11hp) compared to the Honda motor's 6hp in the Kart Mania karts :D

Anyway, we all know those Kart Mania karts are rubbish.

You need to grab one of them bike motors of yours and transplant it onto the go kart like this guy :D

Ha! Love the cockhead who touches the hot tyre at 1m45s ... idiot :laugh:

you also need to install banana peel launcher and red turtle shell cannon

Can do! :D

i now you will be twice as fast as us but you will be coming into lapped traffic....and even if your being lapped, no one likes to let people pass easily lol

Hmm ... you also don't believe I can set myself up for passing manoeuvres? :D

:laugh:

If I can set my 250cc race bike up on track to pass the 1000cc at Mallala ... do you think I can set up a passing maneouvre with 3 times the power and braking ability an Arrow kart has compared to Kart Mania karts? :D

:laugh:

once again ruby you are forgetting that we are talking about a SAU karting night.....now you have been to a fair few of them and how many times do we get those yellow flag/lights.....you can pass me all you want but if i dont slow for a corner lookout for a hit :P it always happens specially the richmond track.....you set a pass on the inside of the other person on the back straight....get the pass done and BANG just because they feel the need to slow down by crashing into you....on track when your racing bikes/cars people dont purposely try to hit you....on the go kart track its on like dodge 'em karts

And you're forgetting the day they'd let a 16hp kart on their track, it would be a cold day in hell :laugh:

Mmm, been looking at 35hp Rotax karts :D ... anyone got a spare $7K :D

i think the main thing is its a race on a 1 lane track, last time i had the 3rd fastest lap and we still come majorly last. its more of a bumper car session then a race. the only passes i seen that were clean was a few of mine, but then you have to wait 20min for an opening to get that.

Yeah the last night out on karts saw alot of action and fierce racing from the top 4. But yet again, "age and experience" prevailed over "young and dumb" :D

All in the name of fun however. :D

I've driven an Omega KT100S kart around the Bolivar track years ago and they're easily more than 2 x faster than K mania heaps of shit.

I'm looking at getting a recreational licence to use the Bolivar track while I set up the kart and see how competitive it might be in a particular class. Its an old kart being an Arrow AX6, but I'm not expecting Mark Webber results. I'd be happy with practice, then going thru the Probation period, before getting my C grade licence and then looking at a semi-serious kart like an AX9 with a blue-printed motor by Ian Williams or other workshop. ... or a Rotax if I can stretch the money that far, and I think I'm good enough.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
