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.

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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
