snot35 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Is it just me, or is that a pretty short wheel based kart? That thing is going to be a hand full! :) Quote
azza91 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 wow tad crazy, should be a downright hoot when its done Quote
Feral4K Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 Its being extended a fair bit to fit the rear axle in.. :) Should definitely be alot of fun! Quote
Feral4K Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Posted February 27, 2014 bit more done!, off for final assembly and welding, updated pikkies sooon! Quote
Feral4K Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Posted March 16, 2014 Gixxer karts coming along well, final welding and reinforcing should be done by friday and the its time to make it pretty, pics soon! Quote
Feral4K Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Posted March 18, 2014 So i went off to do some work on the Gixxer Kart today. Started with removing the abomination dad called welding and got a family friend to give me a hand ;) Anyway heres some pics! Â Â Â Leaves plenty of room to run the exhausts, and room for a heatshield so we don't melt our backs while driving :P Pretty much have to setup the rear axle, take the engine out, final weld it and its paintjob time. Then mounting cables etc and the front engine mount, should hopefully be finished soon! I would like to however acquire a much smaller rear sprocket for higher speeds, because thats what we want in a homemade GixxerKart ;) Btw why the pictures are sideway i don't know :/ Â Cleveland :) Quote
nerfbat Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 INSANE mate..!  lengthened the wheelbase which is a smart thing, lol  I'm sure youd already planned to shield it, but i reckon that chair wont last long with the heat produced Quote
Feral4K Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Lengthening the wheelbase is a smart idea hopefully! Its coming together nicely.. heatshield is being put in place too. However it probably wontrbe running fot long periods of time so it shouldn't get too hot we hope :P Edited March 23, 2014 by Feral4K Quote
Feral4K Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Posted March 27, 2014 Rear end strengthining, and some intrusion bars, more to keep us in rather than keep stuff out! getting there.... Rear axle setup and radiator mounts etc to come... Quote
Feral4K Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Mooore stuff done today :') Rear axle mounted, bit of reinforcing and carrier modifications to fit the sprocket on done as well.. Â Quote
Feral4K Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 Its a roller again rear axle done, brakes done, radiator mounts done , chain adjusted to size, exhaust to go then its pretty time.... clevo reckons its not a go kart anymore? Quote
Feral4K Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 Bit of an update: did a fair bit of gusset work today all in 5x50mm steel mainly just to tie it all together. Engine goes back in tomorrow for final fitment of everything like radiator wiring fuel system piping etc , going a bit slower than we expected ( cause now its getting a little overengineered) but do it once and do it properly! just don't know where were gonna drive it????? and after strengthening... pretty much the same thing done on all the barwork, trust me well break before it does lol! more to come soon!.......
