new project

ok, so my brother and his family moved into a farm house in the nearby county...

attached to the house is a HUGE barn and a HUGE garage...

inside the garage is an in-line 6 cylinder JAGUAR engine and transmission... fuel injected, has all the parts to run the engine including the ecu...

i'm thinking it's time to make a 400bhp go kart weight around 1400 pounds... what does everyone else think :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

i'd strap two t3's to it (to make it twin turbo) and push out around 650 hp...

who wants a ride :twisted:

i can't decide between a single seater or a twin seater...

there are excellent examples of both that haul butt... so i'm not worried about speed

yummy

oh... there is a slight variance from that... my XK6 is the fuel injection version. the intake manifold is on the driver's side and the exhaust on the other (duh)

go-kart? 1400#? thats a big go-kart. I think 400bhp would be enough.. i mean... depending on how big you go wtih it you wouldnt be able to get much grip

ok... how about an awd go-kart?

make my own transfer case from a saulsberry differential and then honda crv diffs for front and rear

we got this same car as a ZASTAVA... given the 6 cyl. jag engine and the weight of that car - which is right next to nothing - i say this car will be fast as hell... good luck trying to stop it.

Good luck also if you aproach a corner...

I would sacrifice some weight and build a roll cage and a lot of chassis reinforcements. But it sounds like a LOT of fun

Go for it!
