Lol, please don't hate me......just playing foo!

Alright on-topic! 4age sounds good, but damn....they're some old engines though. I'm about to tear into mine as well, was gonna do a tune-up in spring: gaskets, timing belt, water pump....etc...Just wating for a 4agze supercharger and the head to show up on a for sale thread. If not, dunno.......

Also, good to finally meet you, Brian. You should come down more often.
(thanks for kicking my @$$ at go-karting..)

[tjblacrosse]

WHO WON?!?!?!?!

[ZGear]

Since all the go-karts were not treated as the same conditions and specs, Celiracer18 "Brian", won. Second place was Will, and third was John. If it was the same conditions on all go-karts, it'd be a fun race. Everyone had a blast and most likely we will do it again.

[sammieannie87]

Ger.. you forgot the "girls race". Vanessa 1st, Steph 2nd, Sammie 3rd and Pricilla 4th (excluding the dudes that were with us...) =]


p.s. will sucks at go karting. hahaa

[Remy]

Will's secret weight reduction didn't work ?? Did he make too many pit-stops to go to the restroom ?

[bccentaur3]

LOL NOT!!!!!!! I was a little too heavy on the throttle going around the corners. I had a HUGE turbo on my ride and because of my team not putting anti lag on the kart I had to keep the throttle open to spool up the turbo.

[Celiracer18]

its all in not letting your motors revs get low and bog it down. the gearing is made for top speed rather than acceleration and if you let it get too low itll screw your whole lap every time. here's some good tips from yours truely:
#1 never brake unless you have to. (after the long straight is really only time its needed at all)
#2 gas at the apex or a little before depending on your speed.
#3 shifting weight is natural and not to be taken real seriously.
#4 coasting is better than braking
#5 dont race me (pretty much the most important rule of all time)

[bccentaur3]

LOL. I challenge you to a dual.

[Remy]

Anybody here done strut inserts for the front of our cars before ?? And do you guys think I'll need to use a spring compressor to install my springs ??

[bccentaur3]

For the inserts you just pop your old one out. Fill the strut with brake fluid and pop the new one in. You don't need a compressor. Just gotta be strong like me. Compress the springs by hand. Thats what I did. The trick is loosen the top strut nut iirc 19mm before you jack the car.

[Remy]

Brake fluid ?? I though you were supposed to use oil ?? I though removing the top nut first before you lift the car was only for hondas lol is that safe will it damage anything if I take the top main bolt off first ??

[bccentaur3]

NoOOO it won't damage anything. Just do it. I do it all of the time. No issues. Because when you jack the car up it slowly decompresses the spring. I read that some use motor oil and some use dot4 brake fluid. I've never done it so I wouldn't know.

[ZGear]
