I bought this last year and have just about finished giving it a full rebuild. No rust problems so it was easy ...... |

To race it in a championship local to me i would have to change the engines from Subaru to Honda . It can get expensive but that's motorsport. Track days/ practice days are very cheap £30.00 for all day at my local track so i'm going to start with that and see how it goes first. |

With the right gearing on a track that's a reasonable size 70 mph + . Which is fast enough when your a*se is only 12mm off the floor ...... |

Its a completely different animal to an hire kart. Its lighter the camber castor and ackerman can be adjusted. It has very sticky tyres and the engines are not governed.It all sounds a bit dangerous

210cc over head cam two valve with a massive 7.5 horse power and rev to about 5000rpm. Not has powerful has most two stroke karts but you don't have to rebuild them every few hours and mess with the carburetor every time the weather changes. |
