What's been happening? I haven't kept up with things

[wedge_r34gtr]

What's been happening? I haven't kept up with things

Just some epic oil leaking problems - caught it before the engine starved thank god... but motivation has been extremely low lately to finish the car and i'm looking for a house...so the current thought trail is too pull motor+go fast bits--> sell shell --> buy house-->find something to put motor in

How's yours going? havent been on the threads very often lately.

Oh and Newcastle council are well f**ked

Did the first delivery today ( a new roof ) and the home owner tells me that the council has had a last minute change of mind and will not let him put a new iron roof on as he has to retain the look with tiles

Pity as he probably spent around $6000 for the roof sheets and ridge caps and now isn't allowed to have it fitted

And we all thought garages where hard

[Ruxis]

saw them in bunnings, think they were like 700 bucks haha.

poor dude, probs could make the council pay for it though

[Tonba]

are there any more spots ant? I think id enjoy it but I wouldn't get into it. I work with a guy that races and he said every race meet costs around 500 bucks each. from tyres and rebuilding your engine after every second meet etc to get the most power etc. can go to wake field for that.

hah don't you watch rally matt? half the cars are hatch backs the other half are evos and wrxs

Nah, you dont need to rebuild after every race, unless you want to win a championship. I race just for fun and times. It costs me on average $50 for a day, including fuel and mainenance, and after 4-6 days, a set of tyres. They cost $230 for a set of slicks. Its good cheap fun.

Like anything though, If you want to get serious, then it costs big money. If you want to just have a bit of fun (like going to wakefield), the its cheap as chips.

Honesly, Go-Karts are sooooo cheap compaired to running at wakefield. For one trip to wakefield, you could do a kart trackday every week for a month, including a new set of tyres.

Father-in-law and I just built a trailer to haul our karts to and from the track. It cost $150 for the materials, we welded it all together and bolted it to his 6x4" box trailer. Done.

yeah just the 3k out lay that is the problem.

[m.j.h]

yeah just the 3k out lay that is the problem.

And the rest

[Tonba]

And still cheaper then a $25k car damaged at a trackday...

Driving a car fast on track is good fun, and is also risky (financially).. So many things can go wrong and get damaged. Even wear and tear is expensive.


A go-kart is sooooo much fun. They are crazy quick, and the speed you can pull through corners is in line with proper race cars with aero etc. not to mention they teach you so much about chassis and suspension setups.


You should at least go to a come and try day.

Agree with you completely, thats why i got interested, tracking a car is very bloddy expensive! and you still cant actually race like you do in a kart.
