 |  So I have a really dumb idea for a go-kart... Early 90s geo metro (2door hatchback, 3 or 4cyl job(for those of you who don't know)) with a full roll cage, turbo subaru engine (probably just an EJ22 turbo, I don't think I would go as far as a WRX motor). No doors, hatch, or glass except for the windshield, cut the fenders out, coilovers with some longer a-arms, probably have to find custom CVs, maybe even a solid rear axle. Relocate the radiator to the rear and some small BFG MT's or similar.

| Still too big for a go-kart. Sounds like an interesting sand rail idea though...

| In a world of photo copies it would at least be close to an original. Why, because who else would do something like that. I know someone is gonna come back with a geo trar or something, but that is just piss-poor ghetto fab (most of the time). I'm talking about something actually engineered and built to look respectable and function well.

on the really dumb idea but I would love to see it if it becomes a reality.
