    First kart project.

    Fab, I agree with what you are saying and logically speaking that is a very good point. My only reasoning for that was he said he was getting a metal frame in a few months and just wondering why someone would go through the headache and haggling of parts and fellow members just to basically...

    First kart project.

    Oh and i did read that you plan on getting a steel frame in a couple months, just not sure why someone would want to go through all the hassle and "tried that but didn't work" thing just to scrap it for something better that they know they are going to buy in a couple months. Maybe stop and save...

    First kart project.

    gopedude, I am curious as to where the engine is going to fit in in this contraption? You said those boards are for the bench seat, well by the looks of it there is no room for an engine. Are you going to add any sort of flooring like some plywood or something so your footsies don't get dragged...

    Seriously? Door hinges, really? I read this entire thread and all i can say is that I am COMPLETLY speechless! Please stop and look for a used STEEL FRAME before you really do some damage to yourself or another person!

    Supra turbo project

    I am new to karting as well, my passion has always been cars. Both of ur guy's cars are very sweet. There was this kid by me that had that same supra drive train in another older Toyota rwd car (gotta love those swaps!) This car looked like a huge pos but this thing was surprisingly quick. I...

    Um...Ya

I hate the mall, i have to endure the crap-shoot because of my 12 yr old daughter and my (I love her to death) wife, but!!!! The...

    Um...Ya

    So about a week or so ago, my wife went to Walmart to get some pork chops to grill. I ONLY go there every great once and awhile because the people there are, well, a very strange and obtuse bunch. So we went about our way and went to the checkout lane. We were standing there for 15 min not...

    1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale

    The 403 is and was intended for bigger cars, delta's, cruiser's, and so on. It basically was a station wagon engine, low hp rating big low end torque. Olds 260-403 engines are physically bigger than the Chevy sb's so the assumption is that they are a "big block" but really not. The 400, 425, and...

    1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale

    It was merely a suggestion as GM did some funky engine swaps in the 70's. I have know guys with GTO's, that come with 400 Pontiac Ram Air 3 engines factory, have gotten standard 400's instead. Relax and take slow deep breaths as i was only suggesting not knocking ur ride in any way. Bty, if it...

    1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale

    Cool car and gotta love those '70's BOP's! Just a thought, engine could be a 403, if its a Olds engine. Olds put a butt load of 403's into a lot of those corporate GM body styles as well as Pontiac Trans Ams from '77-'79 I believe. My 79 TA had the Olds 403. They were a 180 hp 320 lbs ft of...

    GX160 5.5hp Question

    gx160 Rmm727, thanks for the provided link. That is exactly what i had in mind, do you think i would need to replace the cover with that one since mine is a lil different with the hose coming from the side? Will it run any differently without that line hooked up? With the open air filter, that...
