hello all,
my name is nick and live in cato,ny. i have rode many go karts but never really built one so i bought one that fit the description of what i wanted to build. But it still need some work and slight changes. thanks for letting me join and hope to gain some knowledge from this forum. here is my project.

welcome aboard nick.

just make sure you increase your stopping power (breaks) as much as you increased your forward momentum

itsid this cart actually came with hydraulic disc brakes in the front which was a great part to see. This started as a carter talon gocart. Has all the original frame and such the guy just added extra stuff to hold the 1991 fj1200 motor. i have to finish off the exhaust and work the kinks out of the driveline. The first time i drove it i felt the chain kinda binding a bit and when i gassed it the chain popped off and tore the clutch slave cylinder off the motor so i have to get that figured out which will be the most difficult for me. here are a few more pictures.

Welcome Nick. Looks like you are in for some fun with a little potential death mixed in. Safety first!

I am planning on adding some safety equip..ex. seat belts, helmets required to ride, grab handles and enclose it a bit. and it was a blast the few times i got to drive it before i broke it. But i guess it trial and error because i dont know the person that built it so cannot find out any quirks.

It was a funny show, but I only watched a few episodes and played a video game once.

It was actually accidental...but I thought it might be cool to make a South Park reference.

thats cool and are you talking the game that came out for n64 or the xbox 360 because i have played both and liked the n64 version.
