I think MM should build one. For some reason, Kaan comes to mind as a crucial part of the build... ;-)

[Kaan]

i no longer work in metal fabrication (thank God)..... BUT if we were stupid enough to try it... i'm in!

[PDenbigh]

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]

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]

not a gixxer motor.... busa motor :twisted: with alot of prep we could kill our selves in less than 3.0 seconds.

my dads fairlane would pummel that GT of yours... not to mention the old GTi VR6... both straight line cars mind you.... and you woulda shit on my smokey joe ....

[Kaan]

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

[white_2kgt]

sure, bring it up to the house, we'll put a V8 in it!

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

so any idea of an estimated cost for building a kart?

[Kaan]

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]

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:

[white_2kgt]

...or a destoryed motorcycle...

I'm sure pete has one or will have one at his place soon :pokefun:

[Kaan]

if you are going to build one... you cant make it a 600 :twisted:

[Evan]

bah

250cc superkart would kill any 4cycle :twisted:

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:

everyone, quick, to EBAY in search of kart chassssssssisssss!!!!!

[white_2kgt]

bahh, build the frame from scratch!

[mpg9999]

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 .

bahh, build the frame from scratch!

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?
