First off to open, yes this is legal: http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/?action=FAQ Ok now that that is out of the way... I originally got the idea for this from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=548qCuDHe_Q I dont have any pictures from when I made the actual quarter ring but after...

I dont know how many of you know what a Caterham 7 (or Lotus 7) is so I attached a picture. Anyways I saw one of these for the first time a few years ago racing at Road Atlanta and I fell in love! My dream is to build my own but my searching hasn't been all that helpful... I cant seem to find...

We are trying to bend 1 in diameter steel tubing with a JD Squared model 32 tube bender but every time we bend a tube it creases in the center of the bend. We are using all the proper dies and have tried various ways of preventing this from happening such as oiling the tubes and dies applying...

Thought Id share this with you guys. Not being much of a welder I don't really know how good of an idea this is but its something I would like to try! http://classicbroncos.com/homemade-welder.shtml

This just seems way to simple to be a feasible way of doing things. I am designing a rat rod similar to some pictures I've seen on here where you use a wheel barrow bucket as the main body of the cart but the biggest issue is that I want it to be front engine and am having trouble finding a way...

Hello everyone! Over a year ago I posted on here that I was joining the SAE Baja team at my university... but I didn't... well now I have!! This is only Hardings second year with a Baja team but last year the team came in 27th (not completely positive on that but it was close) over all in...

I don't actually have the money for a welder and probably wont be getting one any time soon but Im still interested to hear what kind of welder you guys think would be the best choice for me. I have a VERY small amount of experience using a stick welder and even less experience using a MIG...

Not completely sure where I should post this but... I was trying to figure out why my cart keeps throwing the chain and I think I may have found it. The axle is basically just a large (1/4"?) bolt welded onto a piece of square tubing and it looks like that bolt has cracked along the head...

I joined a group at my University that is going to build a mini baja cart and we are trying to decide on some basic things with the cart. like: Front Suspension - what type Single or Double A arm or McPherson strut or other Rear Suspension - solid or independent if independent what type such as...

I was just curious who you guys thought where the 3 funniest stars. My 3 are: 3. Mel Brooks (more for his writing than acting but hes hilarious either way) 2. Colin Mochrie + Ryan Styles ( I know its 2 people but you have to admit they're the funniest together) 1. Rowan Atkinson (Funniest...

I just downloaded autodesk inventor fusion 2012 and was wondering if any body new of a good text based step by step guide to using it? If any one knows where I can find something like this especially if its free please let me know. Thanks

I live about ten minutes from Road Atlanta and was just wandering if anyone else on here had been there. In my mind its one of the best road courses in the US. If you have been what events have you been to?

Just wandering is there any way to use an electric start from a lawnmower on my Briggs and Stratton 136212 engine (I think thats the model number). Would I have to get a new fly wheel to use it or could I rig it up some how as is?

Heres Poj (podge). I'm not done with it but can you ever be?;) In the pictures you can see my Itouch box attached to the roll cage in the front, perfect for shooting in cart videos, lap timing and g-force readings. You can also see my truck made from an old battery box for a riding mower. Poj...

I have a go kart that I bought used and had to reconstruct (with very little knowledge on the subject). On one of my many engine deconstructions I lost part of the throttle linkage and haven't been able to find easy to follow instructions (preferably with pics) anywhere. Awhile ago I found a...
