Hey all, been around here for a while but I realised I never did an introduction post.

A bit about myself. My name is Adam, I'm a mechanic at a small workshop in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. After discovering this website my tool spending exploded this year, knowledge went up and quality of work improved. So a big thank you to all.

Still living at home so I don't have my own garage, but I know exactly what I want because of this forum, high hopes probably!

So there is my hello, and just a few pics (sorry about the size) of some bits about me.

Cheers

I've been racing karts for 10 years now.

My toolbox, and tv on during Bathurst 1000 weekend.

My HSV XU6.

And it's L67 supercharged 6 engine.

Tell us more about your kart.....it's a shifter kart, right?

Is that a water cooled Rotax powering it?

Hey mate,

Nope, it's not a shifter and it's not a Rotax. It's a KF kart, so basically the direct drive senior CIK class. In Aus we use a control engine which is an Iame KF reed valve. We run the hand operated front brakes on it.
