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.
