Talking








Anyone got any spare hayabusa engines knocking around ???

Should be fun with a nice size 2 stroke bike engine bolted up.

Paid peanuts for it too

nice!!

I took part in an endurance championship a couple of years ago in similar karts with 2 stroke 100 cc direct drive engines - they were 'kin mad!!! From 0-5mph in 2-3 secs then from 5-60mph in another 2 secs!!!

I have never driven anything like it!!

Looks like the chassis is bent and that drive shaft doesnt look to good either.LOL.

Have fun Avi, give the 3 sisters a call they should be able to put you in touch with an engine supplier.

the 3 sisters
That's where it's from.. Went down on Saturday when there was a pro race meet on, and got talking to a guy who had this.

The parts alone are worth double what i paid for it apparently

Then he dug us out loads of tyres and bits.

Not sure what to do about engines, know a few people you can get kart engines, may do something silly with a crosser engine though

I know where there's a bike engine going spare - eh fin

Make it a bit longer and you could put one of mine 2L 16V red tops in Should be good for 150MPH. Might need some bigger brakes though.

And if any n*b on here says don`t be daft why not it can be done stop being gay and soft if you don`t like the idea dont comment just get a shot gun and blow you fuc£ing brain out. n*bs

With the red backgound on the side pod number this kart is from the senior TKM class (100cc 2 stroke). As I am sure you are aware the chassis is an ARC which appears to be straight from the photos. Its not bent, as the part which appears bent is a seat stay and sometimes they have to be bent like that to clear the engine.

Have fun with it mate as they are a real hoot. We run a JKH in junior TKM at present however its just been written off this weekend just gone at Whilton Mill and the driver is in a neck brace!!! If you want to get into karting or want some advice on getting your kart back on the track go to www.karting.co.uk and you will find loads of tips and advice on the notice board forums there.

Enjoy
