gearbox kart rolling chassis?
NS Dev - 30/3/06 at 12:47 PM

just being inquisitive here really, does anybody have an old but vaguely serviceable gearbox kart rolling chassis with brakes, steering etc kicking around that they might sell cheap??

Just a vague interest for a summer project

let me know on n.seviour@ntlworld.com or u2u on here

cheers

Looks like a gixxer's in the pipeline!!

how could you suggest such a thing!!!

With my current project workload NOT a good idea, but a group of us have agreed to put some cash in each, reckon a reasonable gixxer 750 should be gettable for £250 tops, and 1 hard weekends graft should get it up and running.

Every home should have one, be sure to take lots of pics

It'll be a while, got much more important projects on, but this might be a bit of fun on warm barbeque evenings, few bits of welding in between beers, then take it to out local track on a free practice day

(took my grasser on the kart track up there, that got a few looks!!)

Might be ok, but I really want a full gearbox kart so I have front brakes, think I'll need em!!

Kart stuff seems to be much cheaper if bought attached to a kart, so ideally that's what I want to do, get one with all the "karty" bits all there, then chop it about and lengthen it etc.

scary carts have the bike engine alongside the driver ,saw one at curborough recently with a carbed gixxer 750 motor in

You could always graft on some mountainbike discs from hope technology, but that aint locost!!!

I fancy a gixer myself, also fancy grasstrack too, I'd like to have a chat at a meeting sometime maybe!!

yeah, get over to a meeting at M&L near Shepshed and we can have a chat, plenty of bike engined cars there! (and a few twin ones!)

Let me know if you're thinking about this, may be able to make it slightly more locost!
