Default Thinking of building go kart with 600cc engine

I wrecked my 600cc bullet bike last summer and got a brand new one but now my old one is just sitting around and the engine and tranny is perfect but everything else is screwed. Should I use it to build a go kart.

Default perhaps if you put an audi logo on it

you would have Audi content.

Default ive seen two crotch rocket powered Karts.

one was built back in 83' and used a KZ1000 motor,
the other was built 5 years ago, and used an 86' gsxr 1100 motor.

they were probably equally fast.....since the tires just smoked whenever the throttle was layed into

I would advise two things, based on what i have witnessed.

1. get some high quality leathers, a spine protector; and helmet.
2. only drive it where there is nothing you could possibly run into, because those things are IN-SANE!

WILL WE BE SEEING YOU ON THE EVENING NEWS SOON?

Default most formula sae teams use a 600 cc engine, we (duke) use a honda f4

it's damn fast, and a blast to drive. i'd say do it, it won't cost too much and you'll have a great car to take to autocross.
