Good to see this thread still getting along.

I'm off to the track tomorrow, putting some stuff in another (very kind) stagea owners boot, to get down to Wakefield.

Didn't get a photo of it, but on Sunday I put a 910mm x 2400mm offcut of Gibboard/Gyprock/dry wall in the car. Had to get my gangsta lean on to get my shoulder under one end of it but it fitted, just. It was even still in one piece once I got home with it.

drove from melbourne to byron bay for blues fest at easter.

in the back we had 3 big plastic boxes filled with food and camping gear, kingsize matress topper and all of our bags, esky pram and much more filling the boot. then in the roof box we had the tent and decorations, rear foot wells were filled with toys to keep the little boy happy

incredible wagon for touring shame I was getting a big of surge under load (think my coil packs need looking at)

Just started a lawn mowing and garden maintenance business in the upper blue mountains. Borrowed my friend's, Zedhead on the forum, lawn mower. Massive self propelled Masport. Needed the ramps to get it in and out as it's bloody heavy.

I generally carry Makita battery drill kit, tool box, Stanley screwdriver set, jack, handle and sometimes chainsaw and accessories. I'll get a photo next time I do a time involving these equipment.

The other day I carried 7 bags 20kg quick set cement bags as well. Now I need to raise adjust the coilovers as the exhaust scrapes everywhere now

I carry the lawnmowers, slashers and accessories in a trailer now as the fumes are too much!!!

Well, all the SAU-NSW merchandise is being handed over to a new person to deal with, so it's all packed ready for tomorrow's transfer. Hardly taxing on the capacity of the boot, and thankfully I didn't have more if this stuff to pass on. post-435-14456729927003_thumb.jpg

not without cutting the kart in half - assuming it is an adult kart, even with the wheels off the rear axle is about 1030mm, probably about a metre high to the top of the steering wheel - a bit lower without wheels - not sure about the length but our Rotax DD2's take up most of the room in our trailer which is 7 feet long - a bit shorter if you take the nose cone off. With side pods the kart is about 1300mm wide. Getting it in would be a big challenge. A clubman or national class kart is a bit more compact but the main dimensions are pretty much the same. I you need precise measurements of the kart let me know.

That's probably the most concise and well answered response I've seen, thanks! How wide rough is the boot opening on an M35?

Widest entry point is 1160mm but shock tower intrusion means it's 1050mm at the narrowest point on the boot floor. It's about 1100mm to the back of the rear seats when they're upright. With the rear seats down and the front passenger seat cranked forward I can fit a 2100mm ladder in there, although you wouldn't be able to drive with the driver's seat that far forward.

(Note: measurements taken with a half-destroyed tape measure so may be out a little bit.)

Another great response, cheers!

rear opening is about 70cm high - and if the kart is a Rotax it will weigh about 80kg - Yamaha engined maybe 20kg less. They will fit into a 6x4 trailer with the rear wheels moved in or removed. Good luck and enjoy the karting.

...and right at this minute...me. Sleeping in the back for the next couple of nights. It's surprisingly roomy.

Did that the other week... all the gear for 2 noghts up the mountain. enought firewood foe a little cooking fire amd me Sleeping in the back with the sub box. Comfy and warm apart fron the fact i forgot the pillow

Quickest camper on the mountait

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
