ADL Mark Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Got this the other day (present from Mother-in-law..) Sorry for crap pics, but the only place I have to put it at the moment is in the shed standing up and it's hard to get a decent photo of it. If it's dry tomorrow I might get it out and get some proper pics http://www.i-macca.co.uk/temp/kart2.jpg http://www.i-macca.co.uk/temp/kart1.jpg It's an ex-Formula TKM kart with a 100cc Tal-Ko BT82 2-stroke engine. Good for about 70mph apparently, direct drive with a hydraulic disc brake on the rear axle. Apparently very good fun and will make the Supra seem slow as a*seholes Can't wait to get it out to Lydd and have a play with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yes, I'm very lucky, she's pretty cool and likes buying me presents Jamie - Gixxerkart, that looks like a beast. I was looking at YouTube vids the other day of an 1100cc one in Germany, looked fecking mental! I had a quick shufty at eBay the other day and narrowly missed out on a 2000 Yamaha R6 engine and gearbox for £200 Tempted to have some fun with the kart how it is and then modify it in to something like the Gixxerkart, cool project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Sorry Howmaw, didn't see your reply - there's a track fairly close to me, Lydd International Raceway in Kent where they still do they racing now. It's site is http://www.heronspark.com/ and they are open most days, you can use the track as much as you want between 10am-4pm for £40 or £25 for a half day, seems fairly reasonable for a lot of fun!

hogmaw Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Looks like a great track, you'll have a lot of fun there for sure! I wonder if Lui could organise a karting event there? You'd be banned of course as you'd have had too much practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Nice, i was thinking of going to see this:) http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/471326.htm Has potential...needs a little work but definitely a go-er... Jamie, just be careful, when we considered the fire-kart, the short wheel base was an issue and would make it twitchy at high speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I don't see why not Jamie, if you look at the website it says any kart as long as it's in a good state of repair and you have the appropriate personal safety equipment. So as long as it looks sturdy and you're wearing a bash hat and overalls, gloves etc. should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
