Hit up the college kids for a retired Mini-Baja chassis. They must build a new one after 3 competitions. With all the requirements on them, they are fairly safe.

i would want to something similar to what the people did in the video gixxercart on youtube that looked awesome but probably on the expensive side.

I don't think they do the mini baja thing here in Canada. Maybe mini snowmobiles :3 :8

Put it in a large, padded box. Then put a shipping label on it addressed to me. You won't believe the amazing things that will accomplish!

I can get a yugo GV for $400. I was just doing some research though and see that they are 1850lbs :-[
Too heavy, thats enough weight that by the time me and my dumbass friends are in it we'll be burning up the clutch.
A fiat 500 is 1100, and a 600 is 1290, thats a lot better.

Theres a mint fiat 600 in oregeon for 3400... More than I want to spend but I am tempted to get a nice little fiat because they are sweet looking, super light, and most importantly, already rear engine. IF I got a half decent car to start with instead of a piece of ---- I'd enjoy driving it more, and could keep it at the shop to show customers, a piece of ---- I can't leave around the shop, people who bring in turbo 911's and MB s600's don't want to see rusted out yugos in the shop.

I've wanted to buy or weld up a cheap one and throw in a B-series on the ass end.

Miata suspension is supposed to be easy to find and light.

But alas, no money or garage space :'(

I turbo'd a Justy 6 years back. It did not suck.

Re: Have: cbr600 engine, what should I put it in?
 


i also like the justy idea. a VW beetle, just, fored festiva or whatever, or geo metro would work out too.

i would try the beetle though.

Build a gokart and use honda suspension stuff to make it cheap. Brakes, spindles, some sort of spring, solid rear axle, and tube chassis.
