Great! A new section for go-carts. :P

I will start a build thread soon Deza, I just need to get the pics together. For a 7 grand buy 2 years ago it has come a long way. I only drove it for the first time last week. :)

Vehicle specific discussion. ^^

I am picking my 7 up today finally, from the engine builder/mech. Still a lot to do, shame it was pinging on the dyno due to leftover old 98 in the tank. Back there soon with 1400cc injectors, Walbro 460 and a belly full of e85. ;)

Will post up a thread later hopefully, if I get time.

Built by Barry at Edge motorworks. Top bloke, and has built many strong engines over the years. It's an 800hp Manley 2.3 kit, Hypergear custom billet SS2 with reverse rotation, HKS cams etc. Should make good power, just not yet. Its rough tuned on 8psi at the moment, but we will see what it makes once a few goodies are fitted and I fab an exhaust for it.

Yep, that's mine.

I bought it cheap, with a blown engine, number one piston was hitting the head.

I was hoping to turn it into my track biach, as the Stagea auto box hates the track. There is a set of AO48's in the shed waiting to go on it. :)

Niceeee man, i like the color, havent seen a yellow evo 7 before, good find.

Evos are awesome on the track, you can easily chuck it in a corner and stomp the throttle hahaha :P Not sure how it would cope with a 2.3l stroker pushing 350-380AWKW. Max ive driven was 200aw )))):
Pretty decent tyres, might need to get a good set of coilovers and brakes to go with that . Dominate the track.

Waitttttt, blown engine?...sounds familiar.. Are you by any chance the same bloke who lent your old turbo core to one of your mates? Reason i ask is because I remember my mate David bringing me a Turbo core from his mate who was building an evo with a blown motor. That mate might have been you hahaha. My turbo was fried so he went and picked one up

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
