[Kartbuilding] Fwd: Summer Plans

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Michael,
Definately sounds like a mad project, and ought to be an unreal kart.
I forget most of the websites that are into big and powerful karts.
One is http://www.sadik.net/ however it is been updated at present.
I cant say that I have any special advise, apart from the normal,
spend a load of time on the chassis, as this will make or break your
kart. Are you going with suspension?. What modifications will have to
be taken for the radiator and stuff. The chassis will have to be
fairly large to accommadate that engine and extras. You will need some
good wheels also.
If I were you, I would be looking to getting parts off cars, rather
than off motorbikes.
Anyways, Best of Luck
If you want me to put your plans on the website, give us a shout and I
will put them up under your name.
