Racing Kart

[Galois]

Hi guys,

For sale is all you need to begin karting tomorrow (except two items mentioned below). Karting is a great sport, it is fun and exciting, and teaches skills which translate to road driving. On two occasions I have been able to avoid an accident due to locking brakes and car control in the wet because karting taught me the vehicle handling skills required.

Selling due to leaving the sport, move, new car etc etc all demanding cash. These karts, depending on the class, pull 18-30hp in a 90kg kart+driver, which is a lot, considering it can do 2.5G's round corners at 130km/h! Exciting stuff, it really is.

Pics are attached below.

Kart has new clutch, 2 hours since major rebuild (at a cost of $1400) which included a new water fuel pump, recently flushed brake fluid and coolant. It comes with slightly worn mg reds (tyres), excellent for practice AND racing. The exhaust lining, fuel lines and in line filter have just been replaced.

Also for sale, preferably with kart, is a 6x4" Felk galvanised trailer with two spare tyres, registration till late 2011. Comes with useful wooden template for kart, fitted tarp and fastening gear.

I paid well over $12000 for all this gear between 2008 and 2009, and I'm selling it for a just $6000 to get rid of it. It's a loss on new gear you won't need to make!

Everything you need to begin karting tomorrow is the new-regulation airbox from any kart shop ($60), and to trade in the restrictor plate for the newer one. Other than that, an AKA (Australian Karting Association) license and club membership and you're on the track.

In the other pic is the kart as it is, I have to put the wheel and wheel hubs back on it.

In the picture below is:

4 Spare wheel hubs

4 Spare tyres, bridgestones, for use in non-aka events

1 SNELL (Euro standard > Aus standard) spec ERG HJC helmet

1 Bottle of coolant (with some premixed coolant ready)

1 Bottle of fully synthetic rotax engine oil

1 20L jerry can to carry fuel in (with some 98 octane left over)

1 8L oil-fuel mixing bottle with graduations for various oil concentrations

1 Measuring cylinder with graduations for various oil concentrations and volumes in mL

1 Fuel jug (random containers which can hold fuel are infinitely useful when in the pits)

1 Fuel-oil mix funnel

1 Manual fuel pump

1 Near-full spray can of chain lube

1 Near-full bottle of DOT 4 brake fluid

1 Unopened mandatory clutch guard

0.5 metres of fuel line

1 0.8mm t-piece allen key

1 0.6mm t-piece allen key

1 Spare battery

1 Trickle charger for battery

1 AMB transponder

2 Spare chains

1 New 78 tooth sprocket

1 Freem rib protector

1 Pair of Sparco racing boots (size 10)

1 Pair of Kartech gloves (large)

1 Double layer Kartech suit (large)

1 ERG neck protector (large)

1 Tyre pressure gauge

1 Sparco kart stand

2 Chassis adjustment beams

1 Leather seat cover

1 Micron signal generator and receiver

1 Water temp gauge

All clothing and PPE in great condition.

Also shown above is an assortment of useful spare screws, different spacer sizes and 4 jet sizes.

I am in Newcastle and will consider driving for delivery.

Still for sale guys, price is negotiable

[GTRIINV]

hey mate whats the best price on it

can u ship to tasmania

[Galois]

I'm pretty negotiable with it mate, make me an offer (please don't waste time with low balling though ).

That said, I spent AT LEAST 10 grand on all the gear and so on that I'm selling for 6k, that's what you get though when you buy new though. It's all still pretty fresh as I only got to the track a few times.

I'll get back to you with a shipping price, but I'm sure we can reach some sort of agreement if you're interested.

[Galois]

Called around to a stack of places who don't seem interested in shipping, one advised it'd be cheaper to just drive it down.

Again, if you're interested I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

Cheers,

Ben

Bump, pretty negotiable on prices.

I'll get the energy soon to take it to the track so people can see/inspect/hopefully buy. I'd rather sell it to an sau-er though, will sell for a lower price on here too

Trailer has just been sold.

Still selling the helmet, Kartech suit, ERG neck protector, Freem rib protector, AMB transponder and Bridgestone tyres. They're up on ebay at the moment.

Not sure if I can post links but a quick search should reveal them (PM me if not and I'll send you a link).

Cheers!
