Hello from the New Forest, UK!

Hi all,
My name's Craig and I'm 16, and pretty new to this world of go karts and engines etc.
I don't race karts or have much experience in this area - but I'd love to get involved and make -and hopefully drive - something cool!
I do have some friends who are into racing karts and mucking around with engines, and I guess that inspired me to dive in.
I've built one wooden go kart before, without any form of propulsion - I just steered it down a hill; however I'd like to do something more fun.
I'm planning on building a drift trike to start off with - like Colin Furze's.
I've started already, but not got very far. hough recently, I bought myself 2 Honda engines with attached cylinder lawnmowers (they're old mowers!). I've got a 2.2HP and a bigger GX110. I think I'll stick the GX on my trike.
Wish me luck!

welcome to diygokarts. start a build log and post some pics as you go. We all love pictures.

Thanks pRoFiT!
That's a great idea - I hadn't even thought of that. I'll make sure to make a build log and include some

Thanks again,
Craggy

Isn't that the guy that made the bike (and kart, I think?) with that pulse jet? That was badazz, but also a little scary. You should make that as long as you are building replicas of his projects
