Ouch... This guy I know was telling me a story like that the other day. Instead of a hot needle tho, they used a drill press with a really small drill bit. The guy held his finger under the drill and they were just gonna tap the top to relieve the presser. Problem was the end of the drill grabed his nail and the coil that goes up the drill sucked his finger to the top of the bit. Went straight through his finger... :nono:

NgoRX8 11-16-2006 02:31 PM

XDEEDUBBX 11-16-2006 02:54 PM

that was probably the worst pain I had ever felt in my life, I literally almost passed out, good thing I was on the bed...=(

anyway, I found a couple places that sell or have parts available, but nothing aftermarket:

gakartusa
westcoast tacos
johns gokarts

The beggining of project pain in the ass!! I expect this project to be done in about a year (if im lucky). Now I have to decide what color to paint it. I was thinking of the red/black theme like my rx8, also in mind was to wrap the entre fram in carbon fiber...enjoy!

XDEEDUBBX 11-22-2006 12:30 AM

notice that front end damage to the front fork, apparently the daughter of the previous owner got into an accident...doh!

XDEEDUBBX 11-23-2006 01:23 AM

ok found a shop in sacramento that stocks a lot of new parts. I'll be ordering new tires, tubes, a front fork and a front seat next week. oh joy!

Wing5 11-23-2006 05:52 AM

Crazy! How much is everything?

XDEEDUBBX 11-23-2006 11:10 AM

dirt cheap...new tires run $15 a piece and im going with a widre tire in the rear so that like $20 bucks. The new front fork runs $20 and a new seat runs $20 as well..dont you guys wish it cost that much to mod our 8's!! hahaha Im sill thinking about chroming out the entire engine and frame, or just painting the frame Velocity red..haha let me know what you guys think.

XDEEDUBBX 11-24-2006 05:57 PM

NgoRX8 11-24-2006 06:08 PM
