I went go karting today at Pt Gawler (out door track) i cannot rememba the last time i had so much fun.. half the track was wet, so it was fuggn slippery..

My mate came hot around a corner, spun off in the wet patch, went in2 the grass and straight in2 a mud puddle... he was covered from head to toe im mud... so funny

gotta be careful there tho, the apexs send the kart up on 2 wheels and would be easy to roll it there i think... part of the thrill tho i guess

I was thinking to do the Birthday thing on 4th June after go-karts. Unfortunately I have a function on already on Sat 17th July, so I figure we should just do it a couple of weeks earlier. I figure go-karting starts 3pm, finish 6-7pmish, have showers/get changed & start drinking at my place. Play pool and continue to get smashed at my place. 9-10pmish get a mini-bus into town and run amok.

Just an idea.

*sings....MEMORIES !!!! like the corner of my mind! LOL

Whatever you do Matty just make sure you give us/me plenty of warning. I'm currently free on the weekend of the 3-4th. I'm not free the following weekend. But if I have enough time I'll organise to swap weekends :(

You heading out for this arvo's Wednesday AIR meet mate? I'm going... to watch for a change! It'll be the first time in 6mths that I will just be spectating! I might give the first-timers a few burnout tips :)

Today isn't looking great for the drags.

4th of July is a good drag day I reckon.

You know when it is a choice between hammering your own car, or an underpowered go kart you'll choose your own car Matty.

So, my vote(s) would be 11th for karts and 4th for drags.

yeah 11th for the karts and 4th for the drags. Hope youll come out chops

Once I'm all moved (after this weekend) I'm a free man.

Exam was last Friday, so that's all out of the way.

I'll be there for both, but will probably only watch karts - I find that more fun!

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
