First I have a gy6 engine installed (157qmj is stamped on the engine case for identification). It has a 2 bolt valve cover on it, which means it is a "k" block (evidently). I cannot find this information online but sent some questions in to a vendor and was told (by phone....great guy to...

First became interested in this one at BDX Performance: https://bdxperformance.com/products/upgrade-option-184cc-brute-force-stroker-racing-installation?_pos=5&_sid=92f67965a&_ss=r Talked to them....not happening in the next month. I have a little time on my hands and wanted to get this kart...

Here are some pics of the recipient of whatever I decide to put in it....seems an ‘explorer’, maybe ‘trail master’. I was looking at replacing the gy6 150cc.....easier to stick with horizontal engine. I can modify it to accept whatever, I suppose.

I was looking to go that route.... $899 for a 184cc build offered by bdx performance. Talked to someone there and was not sure if I would get it by November. I can order an engine direct from Thailand, get one in a week or so. I can order one stock and get it pretty quickly but.....that's...

So, I have been wanting to do this for a while and am finally taking the time to do it. I have an old rusty kart frame that will turn into....well, I am not sure yet. I do not know what make or model this thing is....there is a subaru engine that will not be used for now. I will put it in the...

Well, as is customary on sites such as this, I will introduce myself. I have not had a go kart since I was a kid.....about 40 years ago. I want to build one now. I came here looking for advice and suggestions on parts. I believe that life is too short not to be having a good time and I am...
