How do you get into motorsport?

i only went on the hire carts once, but i want to make my own kind of go kart, ive got this 105cc engine, a rear axle and a pair of rear wheels all from this 3 wheeler motorbike i ripped apart

[Colty]

hehe good luck _b

[fpv_gtho]

well its going to be like 1.5 times the length of a normal gokart, mostly cause of how the engines gunna sit and i cant sit it BEHIND the axle as it'll turn the wheels the wrong way. plus i gotta get a new chain for it as the motorbike chains F*CKED, it got stuck between the sprocket on the axle and the bike chassis more than a few times as it never had the tension gear put on

i need to find a pair of front wheels and figure out a steering solution before anything'll happen, then i need the time

[SlickHolden]

We should start a remote control championship

LOL, or an AFX car champion ship on the bathurst track

Seriously, i went and bought a CAMS approved helmet today, its blue and black with silver flecks through it, ill take a pic and post it up when i get home, im goin to be out at the hillclimb on the 7th so any local boys are welcome to come see me! now i just need to get a fire extinguisher, bout 30 -40 bucks and pay my rego and ill be sweet!

[fpv_gtho]

sounds pretty good, now how're your performance shifts in the datto?

[Blue Supra]

Not bad, since i cut the shifter down heaps its been really easy with the much shorter throws. i doubt ill get it past 3rd gear but, the course is only like 1.1km

[fpv_gtho]

well you never know, when you get into the rhythm of it all, you'll get used to all the corners and layout properly and know when you can afford to keep it floored. hopefully you'll be able to keep carrying more speed through the corners as well

[Blue Supra]

well im getting the strut brace for it on saturday, maybe a 2" exhaust next week, so itll be fighting fit and rearin to go!

[Blue Supra]

Oh and i did see an awesome lookin race seat, 450 bucks not fitted, turns out thats CHEAP

[fpv_gtho]

that'll be pretty sweet, bit of a bummer about the seat though..i suppose though if it holds onto you tight so your not floating around in the car you'll feel more comfortable on the hill climbs at least

[Blue Supra]

i think so, i roll around in the standard seat alot, there just no sides to it at all, this first runs gunna be interesting

[fpv_gtho]

yeah, sounds like you definately need to get something with the chunky side bolsters.....no good doing the twisty courses if you cant sit straight

[Blue Supra]

zactly, im gunna take the back seats out for it, they go in and out easy enough, i had to do it when i put my stereo in and was running wires, just for that bit less in the back...

[fpv_gtho]

haha yeah and its unlikely your gunnna be taking people on scenic tours around the courses

is there a carpet or anything else you can take out while your at it
