Chris Wilson Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I used to race 125 Open, and years ago 210. I raced 125 Open until fairly recently. Good sport, can still be very expensive, and it's VERY competitive. People think 4 stroke hire karts when you mention karting in the pub, put them in a 250 and see their face change when it comes on the pipe....

pistol pete Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 well i wanna just start off for a bit of fun and see how it goes really.. i hada race day sat and to be fair i trounced everyone by a lot 93 laps on endurance with the closet being 81 and i was consistant 50sec laps and their record in them karts is a 47.9 my first time on that track we still won even though my team mate after 5 laps was nicked named the spin doctor.. i counted 7 laps and 6 spins... but pulled it out the bag and won.. and i just loved the whole racing it just felt great.. anyways here is the post i have put on karting1 forum i found.. Hi all.. hoping you can help me out here. i have owned my kart for couple of years now but it.. well ... its lived outside and not been used (although has had a cover).. but after a day at lydd on there karts and taking away 1st place trophy but 2 secs a lap to the next closet i really wanna get into it.. i am an electrical engineer in romney marsh, love my cars and think track days are expensive and you cannot "race" on them.. whereas i loved the race aspect it just felt so right for me.. so i have taken a load of pics of my kart then stripped it down.. any advice on what it is, what parts i need etc would be great.. so parts i need.. 1)engine rebuild,.. is this something i can do ? or do i need to send it away. if so where to and how much? 2) brake master cylinder, and may be caliper too as well as a new disc 3) a new seat 4) race suit 5) wheels/bearings where is the best place to get these bits.. and costings roughly would be great here are pics of what i have.. i am hoping to get on some of the race days at lydd after a bit of practice and then go from there.. i do know when i took it out on the day we got it it rev'd very high.. when it run it never idle'd is this right? also with the lap timer on it, does that automatically connect to the one at the curcuit or does it have to be programmed. again many many thanks for any help you can send my way cheers pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
