    Rebuild in Houston, TX

    Been awhile since I updated the log.... I have been working on building a mold to construct a fiberglass steering column cover. It's very rough but have plenty of body filler to make it look perfect. Tach mount is roughed out in foam so I can make a fiberglass piece. I also plan to add a...

    Cheap Modifications

    I agree with the idea of buying the correct engine the first time but I bought the clone because I figured what's $100 if I destroy it? I think learning on a clone is better for the rookies.

    Rebuild in Houston, TX

    Actually....it's special. This tach comes with the typical coil hook-up wire and an alternative inductive pick-up which clamps around the spark plug wire. You just select how many cylinders you have 1-8 and voila! Personally I think it was pricey at $59 but in my opinion an analog tach is much...

    Picked this up from O'Reillys. Tested it on the riding lawnmower. Anyone else use one of these?

    Here you go.... History: I am the original owner. Bought the car in May of 2004 with 3 miles on it. Ran a 14.2@100 in Baytown stock. Added a Mopar Stage 1 PCM and ran a 13.8@101. Still gets me 28mpg on the highway.

    Rebuild in Houston, TX

    -Update- Exchanged my HF engine and did some polishing on the valve cover. Cut out the double seat setup and modified the frame to make a single bench seat. Had my first try at upholstery and it didn't go exactly as planned but will work. The fabric I found will go well with the paint scheme...

    Hi from Texas!

    ;)...in my project log, someone pointed out that my clone's valve cover was dented. I didn't even notice when I unpacked it. Heading back to HF soon for a replacement.

    :furious2: i can't believe I didn't see that. I even test mounted it twice b/c I was so excited. I guess I overlooked it. Thanks. Will exchange.

    Rebuild in Houston, TX

    Well...the plans changed a tad bit. I started taking measurements and didn't like how crowded the engine area would look with the 11hp. Decided to pick up the 6.5hp from HF. After removing all the stickers, I dropped it down on the mounting plate to check the spacing. I think it fits really...

    Rebuild in Houston, TX

    Been reading through the forums for awhile now but decide to start my own Project log. Kart was built in the 80s and was passed on to me when I was about 14. Ran it ragged for a few years before it was stored in a yard at a relatives house. I turned 26 this year and decided to bring it back to...

    I figured "Hi from Texas" would grab the attention of the locals who would know of a track... but I need to move my stuff to the Project Log area anyway.

    Hi from Texas!

    I cut out the floor due to some rusty sections and moved the gas pedal to the right to accomodate an adult...:thumbsup: Any Houston tracks that allow us to bring our own kart?

    Hi from Texas!

    I am located in Pearland just south of Houston. I ran your shop's address though Google Maps and it isn't far from my house. I would like to stop by and check things out when this weather clears up. I searched the web for torque converters and the majority of the sites read, "out of stock". I...
