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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
