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

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
