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...

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

here are the pics..



The beggining of project pain in the ***!! 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!

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.
