as little or as much as is needed, my dad seems to think

sorry to have been away, bt internet is a nightmare, couldnt b at whilton as i live in surrey :P, um, i want to take it all very seriously but not worryin bout winning so much as just having a good time.

thanks guys

oscar.

well, i have driver a comer cadet a considerable amount outdoors and done engine mechanics on it when i lost all acceleration, a budget lets say, ignoring the cost to maintatain and run, IE, the starting costs kart, suit, boots, tools, trolley, ARKS test, membership at either kimbolton or whilton mill etc... around £3000

also, i know that im new to karting for myself and competitavley, but, i would only think of doing karting if i enjoyed it and have some talent, surley thats what matters, not all the over serious nitty gritty bits.

keep the advice coming

thanks.

Wich is the best tire pressure to start from with Dry Slick Tires? is it 12psi

How do you stiffen or loosen up the front of the kart chassis? loosen the bolts or reduce number of washers on chassis.(maybe)

How do you reduce Oversteer? countersteer

How do you reduce Understeer? increase or burst throttle

How do you fix too much grip? increase psi? (longshot, i dont have a clue)

so, thats what i can guess or know, tell me if im right or wrong

thanks all the same guys.

oscar.




PS. ive done loads of outdooring, in a cadet once or twice as well as the crappy turn up and go karts, i also have experience with building karts and motorbike engines, so im more experienced than you think.

i can do maintanence, and adapt my driving, just the racing i need to learn :P

well i do live in the south, but i have no money or room for a kart at mine, so my dad, in northamptonshire would both house an fund the karting, also, i was hoping more or less to get into 2 or 4 stroke tkm, as i have a few friends in that series and we get along, btw, i have only ever once driven a cadet comer, but have never driven a quicker kart than that, thank you all for your advice, also, i have looked into starting and can anyone give me information on this "test" that i have to take to prove that i am safe enough to drive?

thanks again.

oscar.

ps, if anyone in the uk happens to know where i could get a second hand tkm 2 or 4 stroke then i would appreciate it greatly, also, Jordan, i would probably join kinbolten or whilton mill clubs as they are close to my dads and are supposedley good tracks.

thanks JOSEPHS

hi there,

ive got a bit of a dilema and figured that the help that i need would probably come from a racing community such as lfs. Im 14 and would love to start go karting on a more (proffessional?) basis. The only experience of karting i have is turn up and drive sort of things down at my local indoor. I want to get into some sort of championship, the only problem to start off with is money, so does anybody know of fairly cheap or simpler to do karting seasons that i could be a part of?

thanks in advance.

oscar.

anyone? sorry to hurry you, but im so ready to get back into the lfs racing scene

o, and can there be a little ktm logo somewhere on it?

sorry for the double post :S

AND ... can there be a uf1 and helmet done?

wow, thats great, just the sort of thing i was after, if you or anyone else can transfer that to the other cars, or something similar for the other cars, i would deeply appreciate it. thanks!!!

hya, im back, not that i think its been noticed ive been gone, my team sort of stopped and then i took a break from lfs for a while, but im back and am hopeless at making skins, yes ive tryed and yes ive got all the software and yes ive done all the tutorials, but i just cant get the nack of it.

anyway, im going it alone now, but a skin for me would be great, the cars i use most are (in order of importance) FZR, FBM, LX4/6, FO8, RB4, RAC

And that would be it.

Now, i would like them to take the colour and design of a ktm, the orange and black that is, how you put the orange and black onto the cars is down to your imagination, maybe some whites as well? apart from that no real details apart from, and this can be anywhere, a no. 42 in a no. board, oscarhardwick next to it and on the bonnet somewhere a union jack.

if anyone can do that for me, i would deeply appreciate it, thanks again!

well, heres my first one anyway, if u choose to take on my challenge, good luck !!!
