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!

    • 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!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
