My mate has built a go kart with a 1.9 Zetec engine from a Ford Galaxy, oh my god, it is fast, we used some wheels from a quad bike and welded a huge frame, it only ways 800 kilogram altogether and it goes like shit off a stick!!
I will post some pics soon

 

get pics up

 

Aint that a bit heavy?


shit coming off a stick takes a long time, iam guessing the karts slow then

 

shit of a shovel

 

No, 800 kg with a 1.9 engine is fast, a ford galaxy weighs 2300kg

 

That last post by me was for 'Fil'

 

800kg is very heavy for a "go kart"??????

 

Yeh, but i called it th, its more like a kitcar lol

 

yeah but thats got 70 seats, loads of saftey features and comfort and a gokart has a 300kilo engine

phil ya really need a bit more reasearch, but ya gettting the attention though

 

800kg is heavy for a kit car though and some of them have cossie lumps/bike engines and all sorts

 

by the way, b19bal, you cant advertise that performance chip on here in the general discussion, and atleast im having a go at building stuff, not just sitting on here posting like you (gold member bummer)

ask anyone that knows me and they will tell ya that just like you i diy things, i just get cowboi to do all the work and claim i done it liek you get mark

diy all the way baby



btw today is the first day off ive had for 2 weeks, thats working on someones car everyday for 14 days !!!!!

thats prob too much for a unemployed bum like me

 

Im a mechanic too and my holidays and hours are shit too, do you see me comlaining, pluss, you probably work for "Dodgy Dereks Daewoo Dealer" down a back alley tht works on everything but Daewoos, at least i work for a reputable firm

90kg ,,56hp

havent used it for a few years now,,, just having got time to rebuilt it all,, which it really really needs
