^ When my friend Eric and I finish our projects are are out of college and making money we are going to build a car motor powered Ariel Atom looking go kart. We havent decided between motors though, it'll either be a 4g63 or a 3sgte.

there is a place on lake st in st paul? I cant remember but you could pick up just parts off of older race carts and new parts too. Now i forgot the name. Lake somthing..

Well I MIGHT have a lil preview for you guys tomorrow night. Wish me luck, it should be sweet

[b00stcreep21]

Well, the engine's mounted on the kart frame with just bare bones mounts. The chassis will still need to be extended even more for the rear axle, and the mounts need the living shit braced out of them still, but it's in there and perfect for getting all the electronics and and everything else mocked and mounted up. I'm lazy, and tired, so i'll snap some pics tomorrow ;)

Keep the short wheelbase if you can, rear mount the engine like a porsche or VW bug!

Also get the widest slicks you can find.

Well as promised, I snapped some pics. The frame is just some random go-kart frame that I got from my brother for a whopping 0 dollars. The engine is a GSXR 750 with a recent rebuild and a ported head. Obviously this isn't the last of the chassis modifications and welding, I just wanted it mounted so I could get everything else straightened out first. The goal for this thing is CHEAP, so most of the parts are gonna come from northern tool's go kart section. And yes, I'm very aware that I'm more than likely going to kill myself on it :)

Holy cow...kill your self is right. But what fun is that?

Johns Cart was fun to drive. Then again we rolled it to much :D I think using big ATV swamp tires was not a good idea!

Wow, I don't think that chassis is set up for anything over 5hp, nonetheless 120hp. I don't need to be a psychic to tell you I see bad things in your future!

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Holy shit. If that thing actually hooks, it's gonna be a wheelie machine. Better get some skid plates or something to protect the bottom of the motor.
