Civic Rims on Go kart?

[Toxic_Punk]

Hey peepz. I got a question. Has anyone ever made a go kart with civic rims? I have a bunch of spare civic parts (hubs,rims,axles) laying around and i've been wanting to make an offroad buggy. Anyone ever try this?

To add to it, Would the wheels be too heavy for the 420cc predator engine?

On my bike, I have a Chrysler 5 bolt spare tire(now thats a bike not a buggy) . It would be a bunch of work for the steering mech and to have brakes.
It kinda has been done but there is work involved.
You will most likely need a Tourque converter CVT.

Gear it low and they will work.

I used to have a buggy that had Civic front hubs, axles & rims on the rear end, Civic steering & a Suzuki 550cc motorcycle engine powering it so, it can & has been done.

Apart from that fact, anything is possible if you have enough time, money & patience
