pyrocams go-cart MKII

after the first one was crashed into a house, renewed excitement has prompted me to build a new one. stonger, faster, with non-inverted steering this time!, we have the technology.

if anyone has bits they wish to donate to this project please let me know. I am getting the frame metal delivered tonight.

Im after pretty much everything else but it has to be dual purpose.
1) engine powered for huning around my suburbs and the park etc.
2) gravity powered for the next Red Bull Grand Prix Challenge

also if I get enough interest it will be KB branded (as long as spankme doesnt think its too crap then Ill get my company to sponsor me)

So I need wheels, axles, steering system and an old car seat.

my last one ran on hand-truck wheels and the steering ran on a bolt and nut hinge and was generally crappy (not to mention inverted)

I intend to run with something like quad-bike wheels if I can find some cheap'ys and maybe a mini engine/steering. well that would be ideal but chances are thats going to be out of my budget.

I know this guy who's got this crappy RGV150 which he resprayed blue from girly pink/purple.. I'm sure you could strip it for some parts in the middle of the night without anyone noticing

My idea for a buggy type thingy is this...

Make a quad type buggy with BMX wheels, space frame etc.
Go downhilling.

Awesome! well at least I could get the engine out of it.
the the wheels and steering I still need. know anyone with a cage that used to run around after bikes with a KB logo in the window?

$350 and I'll give you a used Honda Rebel 250cc engine for it.

Need the money to have the replacement one shipped down.

There is a couple of old car wheels sitting outside Frosty's garage....
Not being used at all....

Go to South Auckland there will be plenty of old car seats sitting outside on the lawn.... they wont notice if you take one away.
