Hey Guys,

I purchased this a few years ago, I am looking at purchasing another car so thought I would throw it up to see if there was any interest to add some coin to the kitty.

I got it without a motor and it remains without a motor. I purchased it from the Car Doctor (who also sells karts etc) and have not used in in the 4yrs that I have had it.

Here are some shitty pics. if you would like more information, please let me know.

Specs I do know...

TopKart

All but motor

Seat is suitable for child or skinny bloke. I squeeze in tightly (was a loose fit but am now 75kg (fatty :O ) - 5ft 8"

you could contact the car doctor... he would be able to point you in the right direction for a new or used motor.

I believe it is a J engine, but I think you could use any go-kart motor really... just depends what you want to do with it... I was actually thinking about putting some big rims on it and using on the grass.

do you know what sort of motor you need for it? or where to get one to pop straight in? cheers

J & clubman are pretty cheap new & 2nd hand or you could strap a 5+hp lawn mower engine on it :D

Unless your thinking about racing i wouldn't worry too much about what motor you use if its only going to be for fun. You would probably be better steering away from a proper kart motor if its just going to be a weekend toy.

"IF" you really wanted to bite the bullet it would make a great base for shifter kart :P

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
