So, me and "da boiz" are going to go, go karting some weekend soon.

In Sydney only ever been to Eastern Creek karts way back when i was like 10, so i was driving the slowest ones there. Since then, been to the one at phillip island 2 years ago and that was awsome. so if you can compare any of the sydney tracks to this, then please do so.

Point to the thread - Are there any better go kart places in Sydney than Eastern Creek ??????(in terms of value, track awsomness and speed of karts)

Fastlane Karting in Minto is pretty good value and a fun track. Hard to master the track aswell and the karts are a bit shit but good enough to get sideways.

They also do events on certains days that are good value...always wanted to go but work or uni gets in the way.

Also compared to Eastern Creek, i think i was in the 2nd fastest karts at eastern when i went, Fastlane shits all over eastern creek in terms of price and karts but maybe not track.

Minto has brand-new karts 2-3montha old which has made thier nice little track much more fun

eastern creek has the biggest track and plenty of room for building up speed and passing

Picton has a great track and good karts which is great fun to try and master there's a great hairpin right at the start of the track that could see you do well or not then 2nd last corner could see you bog or kick arse as it's all up hill from there.

And if you like the sensation of sliding woodville indoor karts is some insane sliding fun. You don't lose speed and you can bum steer amd literally take corners at 90 degrees.

Picton is my pic of the bunch.

Have to check out windsor.

Windsor is very technical with plenty of opportunity to crisscross

What?

Oh right... Eastern Creek is lots of fun nice open track but expensive.

Kartattak near the airport is a bit small and indoors, but still alright for a bit of a bash.

Next one to try for me will be Butterfly Farm in Windsor which, judging by youtube clips, looks like a good track

Picton look the best overall, in terms of price karts and track

got 2 questions

question about picton, Who much HP are the karts, it says 211cc 4 Stroke but id like to know HP if anyone knows

question about Eastern Creek, Which track do they use the most???

heres a link to all the configurations at EC - http://www.easterncreekkarts.com.au/hire-circuit-map.php

Minto and Windsor only use 6hp karts, so thats why i probs wont go there.

Picton is no good if you're a fellow that is on the heavier side... The main straight is uphill.

And don't know about HP, they all seem to vary from each other so greatly (All hire Karts do) that there is no point asking!

Haha that is very true. Even racing karts, between rebuilds of engines many many tenths can be lost.

Went to picton today and it was awsome.

so true, found it very hard to master that hairpin, did a best of 42:38. Great track and good karts

im a light guy and on the corner right before the straight, as long as i got on the inside lane with some good speed i would fly past the heavier guys up the straight, like a baws.

You will do that even without taking the last corner that quick...

I'm a heavier guy and I think I was running 42.2 around there last time I went (About 8 weeks back now)

It's a good fun track, but you need a proper kart to have some real fun on it.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
