7AFE powered GO-KART!, What do you guys think? Options

[block]

I just had another thought... I have seats and seatbelts left over from the partout too. So that handles my seating arrangements, unless you guys can think of something better??? NJCCMD, my thoughts exactly Maybe it won't be that great since it isn't too powerful, but my goal here is as light as possible.

of course it's going to be one hell of a light car and fast. doesn't matter if it's got a 7a. good luck and keep us updated bro!

No, no progress yet I've been busy out looking for jobs ever since I got this idea, and then I got two in the same week, and a third, but that's only on certain weekends and over the summer, so it doesn't really count. So now I'm busy working and going to school all the time. Plus a setback, a big one for me because I don't really know what I'm doing, I literally just realized a couple of weeks ago that my friend didn't pull the ECU when he pulled the motor. Which is my fault for not checking, because I could have got it out myself. Now, I know that I'd rather not have an ECU on this go-kart because I would be doing some pretty stupid stuff in it and I want as little electrical as possible, but I honestly don't know anything about making that motor run without the ECU. And now that I have some money coming in, I'm planning on buying a Supra, so I don't know when I'll have money to do this. And I know how I am, so in all reality, this probably isn't going to happen anymore. But somebody can have the motor if they want to do this!

That Acura-powered kart is probably the coolest thing I've seen in two months.

ok, get rational. y bother doing a 7a when u can drop a 1000cc motorcycle motor in and get the same power with alot less weight.

supra, hmmmm, where are you getting money from... need some of that, how much for the supra

[richee3]

I'm getting that money from giving up my life to work two jobs, and a third on weekends and during the summer when my cousin comes back from school. I'm working 7 days a week right now, and it's kinda kicking my butt. I've been having trouble sleeping the last couple of months, but it was fine when I didn't have anything to do. Now, it's becoming a problem. I'm always exhausted. At least it's not manual labor on a daily basis, or I'd be screwed. The Supra itself is dirt cheap, as far as mkIV's go. They are asking $13,900 for it. It's an auto which sucks, and it's got 103,000 miles, but it's lower mileage than my Smellica. And better taken care of, too. It's more of a look-good Supra than a go-fast Supra, but that can be changed

And point well taken on the 1,000 cc motorcycle motor with a lot less weight. I just figured I had this motor sitting around, and I have an uncle who is an excellent weldor and has plenty of scrap metal sitting around, so I was going to see what I could do with minimal money. But I'm probably just going to give up on this idea. If nobody takes this motor after I get my new car paid off, I may try and pick it back up.
