I thought I was one of the last trying to hold on to my geforce 3.  I've got an Asus V8200 Deluxe and its still holding up, although its starting to show its age in the later games.  Bloody thing cost me so much I just can't let go.  My computer has a total of 8 fans, noisy as hell but keeps everything nice and cool.

I dont play many of the latest games because i dont want to spend money on a new cpu and vid card. still got this 1.3 thunderbird and gefrece3 TD 64mb. Does well with the ram i won playing games and mines only got 4 fans, and its nice and quiet. I can hear the hdd over them. for an althon mine runs great at 35 :D

Hey Predator,

re: your profile R33 go-kart, do you mean the 33 handles like a go-kart, you drive it like a go-kart, or you have a go-kart as well?....just wondering

And on the subject of go-karts, do you guys ever do like a SAU kart day thing?

pred, darrinspencer and myself were talking about a kart day at Drag Combat...

You can usually organise corporate events for around $60 which include qualifying, heats and a final...

Prerequisite IMO is electronic timing... I also have a preference for 2strokes :D

Definitely 2 stroke!!!

Brisbane kart hire has good 2 strokes but the track is pretty boring (the old Archerfield track (they have moved somewhere close by but haven't checked it out yet))

Willowbank is a nice and more demanding track with some nice long straights and good corner combos, but the majority of the karts are 4 strokes, apart from 1 or 2 rotax's which a heaps of fun.

I would be extremely keen if you are organising an event/corporate day.

Was talking to Phil today and the GTR is now in compliance!!!!  Which means if I can organise myself tomorrow I shall go down the coast for a look.  Sweet!  Can't wait, its all getting very close now.  Its only been 2 months and 2 weeks since I purchased the car, soooo long.

YAY! i cant wait to see this car

Last time I went to Willowbank the timing was appauling and the karts were a bit fuxored... ie bald tyres, no brakes... Track is nice though...

LeMans suxs...

MSI is pretty good... Timing is excellent, Track is good fun, Facility is well set up... My only complaint would be that the karts are fairly disparate in performance...

Parklands on the Gold Coast has some seriously fast 2strokes and 1 hell of a scary track but I'm not sure if they do events...

Haven't heard good things about Big Karts (or something) up northways...

No experience with any other tracks...

Haven't been in QLD that long so haven't been to too many tracks.

I agree, you need good timing and karts of equal performance so everyone is on a level playing field.

Parklands sounds good from your description....what's the fun if you don't have your heart in your mouth every now and then :D

lol.. i was wondering whether somebody would ever ask that. Basically when I had the entire dash out of the car, i basically just had a steering column, and seats.. no speedo, no stereo, no dash, no heater box, no nothing. Felt like a go-kart driving around and looked like it too - was kind of fun for a while too :D Got some funny looks at the lights.

yep, but we were also talking about go-karting on saturday (drag combat) and how that could be a good event for everybody if we could get the numbers.

We had a corporate day at Kingston park for our x-mas party last year, it was fun, but we were so sure that we were 2nd or 3rd well even on the lead lap, but when they called the race due to time restrictions we found out we were 7th and 3 laps down on the leader, which I still believe was total crap!

But all in all the track is fun, the karts are a bit piss weak in the performance area, but still can drift em :D

Just about to tee up my 100k service this week at Gav's so hopefully I'll be able to atend this thurs (points at strutto) so what's happening?

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
