    What the diff. Malibu GP

    OK most of the mystery is solved. The MGP cars use an EZ GO GXT 1500 Diff cut down with the standard GXT 1500 brakes. All of the drive shafts on the GXT 1500 are splined the same way. The diff is connected to the 5 speed gear box by means of a universal jointed shaft with the same splines. The...

    What the diff. Malibu GP

    I think I have found the diff origin. it seems to be from an EZ GO GTX 1500 3 wheeler with tipper tray. The gaskets all fit that model. The pic is low resolution but it definitely looks like the front half of the diff. it has an 800lb load capacity.

    What the diff. Malibu GP

    Thanks for that. The banjo front part of the diff must be standard for something as it is mounted upside down on the axel. The axels seem to be cut down dodge axels with 27 splines to match the diff. In some further research I found the correct shaped diff housing gasket. It seems to be for...

    Formula 710 Go Karts

    Hehe, what did he do with it?? The Lolas ran the same wheels and tyres but they were more like race cars with camber and castor adjustments plus rack and pinion steering. Has he got any photo's of the mechanics of the Lola.

    Formula 710 Go Karts

    I am after anyone who has experience with Formula 710 Go Karts. I have a post in the parts section but have no real response. So I thought I would ask if anyone has experience with these monster karts. Most of them are 40 years old and are hard to get parts for. They were made in limited...

    What the diff. Malibu GP

    Awesome I have found the man who bought all 20 of the Mario Andretti ones but getting useful info out of him has been hard. Mt Hood in Oregon still has some MGP karts that used to be at Beaverton. They only run in the summer months. Some of the places that closed sold their karts on to the...

    What the diff. Malibu GP

    The Mario Andretti version is like the Batmobile, black fibreglass from end to end. They had a 55hp water cooled 2 stroke. The Malibu GP karts had a 24HP sachs rotary when first built. They were then replaced with 35HP 2 stroke ultralight engines. I have heard of people putting 85HP engines on...

    What the diff. Malibu GP

    Hi folks, I am rebuilding an MGP go kart and would love to know where the various bits of the diff come from. The axels are 5 stud 7/16 bolts with 114.3 PCD. The drum brakes are from an old EZ GO golf kart or some such. The Brake calipers are Bendix torque spiders from EZ GO as well. The age is...
