as the title suggests, anyone have a recommendation for good go-kart places around Melbourne? went to the one in Port Melbourne recently (indoor) and it was okay but after something a bit bigger/faster

been to Le Mans years ago and remember it being really good... any new places cropped up that I don't know about?

le mans is still the only place with longer track.

the one in cheltenham is indoor, and slow by comparison.

If you go le mans, take helmut with visor... i learn painfully no visor hurts lol.

HAHA I took my own bike helmet when me and friends went there. They were all giving me shit, calling me a wanker / pro for bringing my own helmet - I was laughing while their faces were hurting haha.

Yeah i was pulling grit outta my eyes for 2 days, never again will i be caught out. Totally forgot to take my helmut too :/

dont they have visors on most of their helmets now?

I went like 3 weeks ago and had a visor..

Not full gloves, fingerless gloves. They give you much better grip when you're pulling 250 pounds on lat pulldown...

Also stops your calluses from getting too big. It's not the most attractive thing when you're holding the hand of a girl...but hey...your men might not mind Ash :P

Gloves for the gym...

If you weren't such a "all compound, no gloves, no isolation" gym junkie, you'd have a pair :P

hey I do isolation... should have seen me doing laterals last night... I even did some bicep curls, but shhhhh don't tell anyone

lat pulldown is ghey... do some pullups like a real man;) lol

but yeah I don't use gloves... my wife uses gloves in the gym... but that's because I don't want man hands on my junk... so I'm all like women, put your gloves on and shit... totally... also I refuse to hold hands

back on topic... go karting eh... good stuff... can I wear dish washing gloves?

Cheap crap $5 sunglasses > Visor

Being 0.010 seconds of getting the Gold Kart qualifying time = compulsive rage. They are open till 11pm, so I tend to go late when I go simply so you wont be waiting in line forrrrreveerrrrrrrrrrr. I'd be a lot happier if they made the two tracks into one, longer track. 36 second laps isnt really a 'long' track.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
