Cory, just put a 4g63 in it.
Thumbs up My new plan.

Well, with the sale of my car looming. I started thinking about what I would miss about it. The first and foremost thing in my mind was autoX. So, then I started trying to make up excuses to buy another car just for that reason, but then started thinking that a truck just makes much more sense, and then it hit me...

This winter I am going to save as much as I can and with the help of my dad, hopefully have a 125cc kart ready for Auto-X.

After talking about it and thinking it over it makes a lot of sense to me.

Its much cheeper than maintaing a car and will be just as fun, hopefully.

Any help/advice from the kart guys on here would be appreciated. I'm going to have to go back and read Derriks thread too.

Discuss...

Well, the first step is mentioning karts in every post you make for 2 months, regardless of the topic.

If you get a kart you must put a red turtle shell on the back.
