I think MM should build one. For some reason, Kaan comes to mind as a crucial part of the build... ;-)
- Kaan - 10-27-2004
i no longer work in metal fabrication (thank God)..... BUT if we were stupid enough to try it... i'm in!
- PDenbigh - 10-27-2004
Funny enough, I wasn't really referring to the metal fab, more regarding the experiences you've had with fast bikes, fast cars, and the related test drives....
- Kaan - 10-27-2004
we need a nice motor... easy to find off some junk bike on ebay... and a stripped chassis for a roller... and some place to wrench on it....
- Kaan - 10-27-2004
not a gixxer motor.... busa motor :twisted: with alot of prep we could kill our selves in less than 3.0 seconds.

CHAD... since you like talking bad about my rice bucket so much.... i volunteer your garage for the kart build :!:
- white_2kgt - 10-27-2004

I'll race your DADs fairlane, 1/2 mile (front straight at summit, we have to start at T9 though

- Chris - 10-27-2004
so any idea of an estimated cost for building a kart?
- Kaan - 10-27-2004
one of those kinda karts? considering we dont have an old chassis laying around or a destoryed motorcycle? not too cheap but i'd say maybe 2-3k
- BLINGMW - 10-27-2004
whoah.
hock: Not usually easy to drift a cart... that guy seems to have it down! Call me a pussy, but that thing looks really scary. :oops:

I have access to a 400 cc yahama motorcycle engine. We were going to put it in a golf cart but could never get a decent price on a cart. I had the plans drawn up and everything. Anyone interested in a project :lol:

- mpg9999 - 10-27-2004
I believe ODU races in some SAE kart racing series and they use a gixxer motor. And about building a chsis from scratch.... I have access to TIG welders, MIG welders, and the too much fun plasma cutter

I concur! I'll volunteer my garage! And I'm sure we can find a motor and the appropriate accessories.
In fact, a friend of mine did his senior PhD (ME) project on a formula car with a motorcycle engine. Maybe he still has his notes?
