Winter Mods
Im planning some changes over the winter, before the little ones pops out and im banned from anywhere near my workshop lol
Im planning on a full cage, raise the seat so i can see where im going, sort out leaking driveshaft, maybe move my clocks so i can see the rev counter
in the heat of battle, and maybe a paddle shift.
As for the paddle shift, where is the best place to get the clamp that goes on the steering column, rose joints and the cable for the shift. Or even
better does anyone sell a complete kit.........??????

Hi grusks,
I raised my seat 1" with little benefit. I use booster cushion now. I would consider altering the angle of your seat. They are tilted
backwards. Longer back seat supports may be the answer

I thought you said you may sell it!!
AB performance do a good paddle shift kit. Many people get some after market laser cut paddles though because they can bend.
regarding the seat height: Tilt the seat forward. That will give you the 1" you need.
Regarding the roll cage.. Are you going to get the extra required plates wedded in the sides to mount the side bars or are you thinking custom cage?
Shame I didnt nick my old roll cage from my Worx before it got taken away or you could of had that. My old car is sitting in scrap heap somewhere. No
idea where though! Good luck with the mods. Ill join you with my new toy at Brands next summer!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

I get bored very quickly, and always want to be building things, soon as i get on the track and use it, i change my mind and want to keep it.
So i bought another small cheaper project to tinker with.
Ill give AB a call

Hi there, i used to do 100cc karting what a nightmare! you should of brought a 125cc rotax max, as they are trouble free electric start, have clutches
and are water cooled.These are great what tracks do you have near you?I used to end up pushing mine, seized engine oiled up plugs broken chains, but
your love it! By the way! i am still waiting on parts for my car.......?

Ive been racing karts since i was a kid, i did fancy a max rotax but as all my mates went for 100cc i thought it would be a bit unfair. I got a remote
electric start and clutch on my 100cc. We was at wild tracks in suffork sunday and i was keeping with the 125 max that was there with his posh push
button starter lol
Im got a few tracks near me all within a 1hours drive, im on Tilburys door step ( but thats a sh&thole, ive got rye house, buckmore park, bayford
meadows, and lakeside but they dont allow 2 strokes.
What parts you awating for......?

100cc are very quick we used to have hassle anyway, karting great fun does the mac#1 feel like an over size kart? I just need the rest of
brakes/suspension/ drive line and many smaller things.

What 100cc outfit did you buy? TKM? oh and in your list of tracks close by you missed out Lydd. If you haven't been there it is a fantastic
track even if the facilities are less attractive.
BTW Rotax MAX's are not trouble free. Having said that they are compared to TKM's!! and if you had bought a Rotax MAX I could have sold
you a Technical DVD on Maintaining the MAX via Karting Magazine online shop. 
For me Karts feel quicker then cars, certainly in the corners. It certainly is the purest form of motorsport IMHO
