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.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
