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.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
