Sorry to make this last minute change, but Richmond Kart Mania rang me today to confirm our booking, and told me it is a 1 hour booking for 8-12 people between 7 and 8pm, with another group having booked the place out from 8-10pm. I actually booked (or thought I had) a 2 hour slot for us, but the guy that took my booking must have stuffed it up somehow. What we can do instead is kart from 6pm-8pm, giving us 2 grand prix events, where we have 2 eventual winners and trophy holders.

SO

Intead of meeting at the meet place (that I have PM'd those that asked for it) for dinner at 5:30pm, can we please still meet there and we will cruise straight to Richmond for karting (we can grab a burger there at Hungry Jacks for a snack to last us until dinner).

THEN after karting do we want to go somewhere for late dinner around town/near Richmond somewhere (which will work out better for down South people anyhow I would think).

Again, sorry for the stuff up but it is beyond my control.

So is everyone OK with that? Either meet at the North-Eastern spot I PM'd to people at 5:30pm, or meet us directly at Richmond at 6pm.

I will PM this info to everyone on the attendee list also.

We split into 2 random groups for 2 grand prix.

All up MattR won his group and Sambo and I tied for winner of the 2nd group (on a points basis over qualifying and 4 races). I think the best time of the day was MattR with a 21.19.

Thanks to all that came, we had 17 racers all up, which was a healthy turnout. We went to Vili's for tea afterwards, then most of us continued on to MattR's for his Birthday bash. The darts and 8-ball were great as always - as was the wooded Jamesons - owww my head this morning!

The next major event is likely to be paintballing at a venue TBA. I would think we might do this in June or July, weather permitting.

Paintballing would be wicked. The one down at Blackwood past the Barasso on the way to Gawler have good maps especially the capture the flag one. The only problem is the dirt road of 5kms, its ok for one car to drive slow, but the cars following it will have stuffed up air filters and a new car colour.

      Yeah. OK. I'll say the same thing I say to everyone. You do not have to use 100% throttle all the time.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
