Go Kart madness

ke25sr · Post by **ke25sr** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 7:56 am

Some mates and i decided we wanted a go kart. then decided it had to be crazy as hell.

We got a ZX750 Engine to begin with.

i was hoping some local people here might have some bits and peices to help us along.

the biggist thing we aere missing is the frame. want something low wide & cheap.

Also if any one has some tips for us that be great.

When it is finished anyone can take it for a spin at there own risk.

i was wanting a rolling frame and was going to further mod that to suit.
But if we havent got a frame soon we will have too buld our own.

The more I think about this the more I want to do it myself... now, where was it that I left that steel bars sitting...

Its a awesome idea, if we all made them we could all race at 200kph +

But i finally got a frame its perfect. Going to pick it up soon.
