Vector 6.0 project help

[suka]

I have a list of things i want to add/upgrade on this vector go kart,but I have zero experience with go karts.I'm leaning on you guys for expert advice,so i can do it right the first time.

I bought this back in august of this year for a christmas present for my 9yr old daughter.I gave it to her on christmas and had to peel her off of it(she loves it)

Here are a few things we want to do when time and money permits.

a lift"kit if possible"
lights
motor swap

Thats a nice kart I wouldnt do much to it but run it.

But you could maybe put taller tires on it for a cheap easy lift, might have to move/remove some fenders though.

Lights hmm does it have electric start if so you have a battery that you could run some lights off of which should be simple to do, as simple as hooking up driving lights to a car.

Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't have a starter,alt or batt.I'm looking for a place to shop with good price's.

Where would be a good place to orders tires,engines and other parts?

i wouldnt lift it because then you might flip it too easily. but if the kart bottoms out then maybe larger quad tires? or large riding mower tires

for lights id find an engine that has an alt. under the flywheel, when you do the engine swap. then search ebay for some lights.

reading this made me remember a post from a while ago... read this, maybe you want to do the same thing!

Nice kart, but I don't see any harness. The general rule of thumb is that if you have a roll cage you should have a seat-belt, and if you don't have a cage then you shouldn't have a belt. If you do roll your kart, and you have a cage, you want your harness to keep you in there so that the cage doesn't roll over you as you fall out.
