Love to make one out of fibreglass, with a ZX10R motor with a muzzy turbo
Here for the arcade.

Crikey, one with a turbo ZX10R motor would be seriously insane.

Turboing a 1 litre gokart is as pointless as making a gokart that has a bigger engine than 600cc's. Check out these.

Traction is the issue not power.

They don't look like Aprilia 125 motors - are they older models? I thought the Aprilias were liquid cooled?
I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..
The metal is always nude.
That GSXR1100 kart is nuts !!!Originally Posted by vtec

No way is it pointless.
I reckon there must be some surplus concord engines going cheap,or space shuttle solid boosters.
And you could build the chasis from bucky carbon nano tubes.

it is (except for wank value)if a 250 superkart would piss all over it around a circuit, and I reckon it would unless it was a very open fast circuit
that kart is a very nice bit of work and must have taken some huge gours to design and build but unfortunately unless the rules have changed it won't be eligible to race in any class over here
The Algie Brothers built a very fast Chev powered Alfetta back in the days of anything goes saloon car racing
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Just for anyone considering downloading the vids from the Gixerkart site- the XX-kart one is nice and long, but it's mainly concerned with the building of the kart. Doesn't go into any detail, just lots of shots of him welding it up and painting it.
When he does actually show it being used, the thing is seriously quick as you'd expect. Does a time trail on a closed public road and the bumps cause a steering failure at the first bend LOL. Then he gets it sorted and continues- the thing always crosses up and bucks off the bumps under power. He accelerates for a wee bit out of each corner and is then forced to pretty much coast to the next bend. If he didn't it would probably kill him LOL.
The GSXR1100 one seems a tad weak by comparison. Still can't get it's power onto the track, and the corner speeds seem very low for a kart.
