Yep everything BMI sells is on Ebay. Free Shipping too. Absolutely correct.

But... At BMI. com, Price is 13bucks at BMI ebay price is 18bucks!

Free Shipping my foot. Don't drink the Cool-aid. I don't mind shipping, it Does cost the supplier,
But BMI shipping is just way over the top. 15dollars for a 10 dollar item! PFFFT pl eese.

i'm so ready to try this. will be tested on a somewhat closed course once installed.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Do it. Please just do it.

 

[FreeRunner15]

Do it. Please just do it.

lol, but is it logical though?

at the worst i'm expecting the belt to disintegrate. i remember someone saying something about possible belt disintegration. Not that i wont try it one time .
i'll be wearing a jacket and a beanie in case i flip and slide.

 

[Poboy kartman]

How are you going to flip and slide? Getting in and out of a kart that won't move?

lol okay, i hear ya.

i will let you know the results. but first i'm trying it out without the 18lb springs installed. i guess i should record the results.

Please stop it.

That will never go 67 mph. Most piss themselves in a kart when they get near that speed.

On the off chance you do get it to go that fast without driving it off a cliff or dropping it from an airplane... film it... because yes, it will flip... many times.

 

[mckutzy]

If you are on a legal roadway that is your "closed course", your breaking the law as its not a road legal machine.

And please post a vid to YouTube... We all need laughs here and there...

And this isn't even Brett or Tihm or Janji saying saying this (sorry Anderkart....didn't mean to leave you out)....(guys who ACTUALLY go fast!!!!!)

 

[Kelly Wood]

LOL!

Add a few more MPH and you're at takeoff speed for a small aircraft.

And if that isn't enough... at that speed... add ONE, that's ONE bump of any kind... and you're airborne. (if I remember correctly, your front end isn't aligned for landing purposes... glad you welded the wheels.)

You're gonna crash... beany jacket won't save ya.... Film it, please.

 

[Poboy kartman]

LOL...That reminded me of some cars I had in the past....one was a 65 Falcon station wagon....now this thing had either a 144 or170 ci 6 banger...(I don't remember which....I think 144....)

So...0-60 time....ummm....maybe not the same day......but seriously, that engine was well broken in ,and after about a mile....that car would do 120 mph!!!

A very light car....so ....at that speed...the front end was touchy feely...the tires were just BARELY touching ground...and the steering would come and go... Basically, the car was floating!

Another car I had was a 1970 Chevelle with a big intake, heads, and cam....now...from a standing start..it was embarrassing. But from 30mph on...OMG!

Which actually suited me well...rat racing and blowing around slow cars...plus...I was a road racer...and this thing was a beast on curvy lake roads.

Anyway...at 30 mph...it would typically be in second gear..I would drop down into first...(throwing it into it's powerband) and nail it....in the blink of an eye...it would be going 90+ in second gear....(literally, under 2 seconds) ...and since it had worn out loose steering, and barely any brakes...I would just shift into third and let off.

It would have been nice to top end it...but SERIOUSLY...it was all I could do to keep this thing in a straight line at 90-100! And I'm not kidding, the brakes required reservations if you wanted to stop somewhere in the same block going 45....

I really think that car would have topped 150. ...but I probably wouldn't have been around to tell anyone about it!

See...the Poboy has always been crazy....but not STUPID.!!!

 

[Kelly Wood]

Ok, I'll share. LOL!

Here's the numbers from the Sarge Herself. A cop that clocked me one day on a city street said 51 mph. (possibly a slight downhill grade mind you) I'll prove it if need be. I know the feel of "past 50 mph" in a kart. (your tears from your eyes go horizontal) I've raced and speed isn't new to me. The numbers vs reality. Says 53 or so... but it's never what the calculator says.

Freerunner, or whatevs yo name be... please stop ok? It's embarrassing to see a fine lad such as yo-self be this delusional.

definitely a good read and i BELIEVE it too!
The first car i ever got to REALLY drive was a 1980-something nissan 200zx and 0-30-ish it was slow and i thought the thing was a junker but then it suddenly gained a big noticeable power boost and i was like "wow it must have fixed its self" lol But that was before i knew anything about turbo chargers and their function but by the time i was about 115-ish. That little car ,man i called it the hover car lol. literally felt like it was floating and on the hills,woah, me and it felt weightless. good thing i was on a very long straight highway and didnt need to turn.
This was with a buddy of mine next to me in his ford taurus. He had me on the get-go which had me believe the 200z was a junker but like i said, around 40mph and the turbo spooled I was GONE lol.
whew, good times.
Not the only time i've hit the governor in a vehicle by the way. actually i dont even know if i DID hit the governor in that Z. i just wasnt use to going hyperspeed so i let off.

i believe you. i've heard so many people say a kart feels faster than a car though i've never really tested top speed on my kart since i got it so i dont know yet.

Question? : What if i align my steering and get better front tires before push that hard?
short,maybe medium, straights may be okay i presume with these slick front HF tires .
But in all realness the testing area i wouldnt want to go 60+ anyways. maybe 45 max due to having slick/misaligned front tires.


Safety first, i understand. i'm just so ready to unleash this monster .

By some, sure. By others, nope.

How about just driving it first?

New tombstone in east Texas:

Here lies lies. BDL; (Bad Danned Listener)....

Thought he could do sixty with Harbor Freight tires...we found unrecognizable parts of him in the mire...

Near as we can figure...he only hit thirty, but that was enough to make things get dirty...

As we unearthed the kart to exhume him beneath, we found traces of HF tread in his teeth...

And then when we looked to the back we said :" OH DEAR!" Found pieces of 3 jackshafts stuck on his rear!

Not only crazy.. but a good poet as well .

 

[bob58o]

I'll race you to 42mph. First one with proof gets my Stickers

 

[Toycrusher]

It's easy to get to 60 mph in a kart, with a kid or two worth of tax refund check.

It's not easy to survive long enough to tell anyone about what you did...
