I had a mini bike as a kid. Damn near killed myself. Good times. Good times. I wonder if spinners for a golf cart will work on it? I would definantly go to Tractor Supply or Northeast Tool and Supply and get the biggest motor that will fit into it.

Maybe you could fabricate some bodywork to make it look more like your 8?

XDEEDUBBX 12-22-2006 11:16 AM

HAHAHA a minibike8..haha i will definelt drop in a honda 6hp motor later on down the line, maybe when i blow up this motor.hahaha

If you show your car, it could get you some brownie points.

Ummmm, brownies.

XDEEDUBBX 12-22-2006 11:24 AM

I ment show your car as in at a car show. My brother used to do that YEARS ago. He had a little peddle car painted like his. Always got him bonus points.

DaveCM203 12-22-2006 11:31 AM

PS, Velocity Red is the hottest color for the 8.

dtorre 12-22-2006 11:38 AM

looks like a candy apple :rock:

DaveCM203 01-06-2007 08:19 AM

Looking good. I cannot wait till it is finished. I wonder if you could fit a mini mazdaspeed spoiler on it.

XDEEDUBBX 01-06-2007 11:06 AM

Thanks fellaz. It's transparent candy red..not to sure why they call it transparent but it really isnt. I like to call it Santa sleigh red lol. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have the motor degreased and painted to I can mount it. After that I need to work on the rear swingarm...

NgoRX8 01-06-2007 01:11 PM

big project. it's guna be your mini rx-8.

XDEEDUBBX 01-09-2007 01:30 AM
