I have a track go kart, nice little 100cc, never had the chance to fniish building it and tune it up though. When tuned they can usually manage 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and a top sped of 80mph.

It looks like this without the plastics at the moment


If anyone would like to come have a go or help tune/build it then your more than welcome.

I'll have a tow bar fitted soon so I can take it to a track and really open it up.

I love the viper buggy (I just wonder how many pairs of tires you'll go through in one track day)
Well if you just wanna fool around with a fun project, how about a motorcycle engine (CBR 1000 RR or even a 1299 cc from a Hayabusa).
