MRMOBEUS · 19-January-08, 02:26 PM

Now I wouldn't mind building one of these babies.....

Anyone have a spair Gsxr or similar motor goin'?

( Just have to come up with a way to make it handle better...? )

If i ever got a chance to drive one of those beast's i would probably break a bone or some thing bad.

Keep me updated if you ever start building one.

Man! Had a stupid grin on my face the whole time I watched those.

Burnouts in a 135kg cart=

Slaymate · 19-January-08, 04:35 PM

That looks and sounds like a motorcycle engine. It's quite simular to the 3/4 stock car
engine my friend Lou's boys race. They use the larger chassis to make it handle better.
The larger tires and wheelbase make all the difference. I doubt if he'll ever get that
kart very stable. But it sure does look like Fun :-)

Here's a few pic's

Hey, that cart could probably move even my fat butt pretty fast.....

.insane · 19-January-08, 04:53 PM

I would suggest using a turbo'd hiabusa motor, for handling, just make the wheel base about 2 feet longer and throw in new struts.

If you've ever been karting you'll know thats so not the point, but yeah it is fun

Ive been karting on twin 150cc karts, that was a riot, 80mph down the straights and just a twitchy as that thing through the corners (probably cos I can't drive, but...)

s1ugh34d · 19-January-08, 06:55 PM

250R, the quad, that my buddy won five tourney in a row with, that he put 6K into, goes about 96MPH, on the dyno.

Now that was fun, rear tires were small, not as small as that cart, but small. front tires were almost all grip, whoo lots of fun, on or off road. \

Karting on the other hand, I want the ATOM, which has a honda civic turbo engine. NICE....

Civic = RICE not NICE

phin3s · 25-February-08, 07:26 PM

And also, the Honda Atom's have Supercharged engines im pretty sure

Dex · 25-February-08, 08:02 PM

Not all of them, the base ?20k model isn't supercharged.

And they're not Honda Atoms, they're Ariel Atoms, with Honda engines.

4x0n · 26-February-08, 12:07 AM

Although the Ariel Atom in the US has a GM engine.

xgeko2 · 26-February-08, 02:33 AM

Lol i always wanted to take a b18b1 integra ls motor convert it to vtec and use it for a kart motor lmfao that would fly!

Wouldn't surprise me since the engine is called Ecotech

Dex · 26-February-08, 09:28 AM

Hahaha lame... anything with "Eco" anywhere in the name doesn't belong in a sport car.
