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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
