7AFE powered GO-KART!, What do you guys think? Options

[richee3]

As several of you know, I recently parted out an ST. Well, as it turns out, the 7AFE and it's automatic transmission are in incredibly low demand Who knew that when someone pulled the 7AFE out that they would want to put something more powerful back in??? So that leaves me with a 7AFE and trans sitting in my garage. I have an uncle who happens to be an excellent welder and has a LOT of scrap metal sitting around. So after reading some of the more recent threads on here, namely the one Exterior Styling where gokarter put a rubber lip in his front bumper. Everyone starting talking about how the lip matched his name. I started thinking... Celica, go-kart... Celica, go-cart... What if I bought a few supplies, and had my uncle build me a frame (with a kick-a** roll cage hahahaha) and mount that 7AFE on it? It would be heavy, yes, but it would be the most BA go-kart in Southern Illinois. 110 HP isn't very much in a Celica, but it'd be massive overkill on a one-off go-kart. So do you guys think I should do this? And if so, how would I do it? Keep in mind that I do still have the transmission, and I'm not sure whether I should use it or not. So... Tell me!

I just had another thought... I have seats and seatbelts left over from the partout too. So that handles my seating arrangements, unless you guys can think of something better??? NJCCMD, my thoughts exactly Maybe it won't be that great since it isn't too powerful, but my goal here is as light as possible.

of course it's going to be one hell of a light car and fast. doesn't matter if it's got a 7a. good luck and keep us updated bro!
