see it all worked out for everyone.

im going to race it in sprints and hillclimbs which i am allowed (have spoken to a cams person) to do, i need to do some things to it but not too much, would like to put 12 inch wheels and honda brakes on though, prolly get it done in 6 months the way money is going, although if i can get sponsors and a job it will be alot quicker..

I'm glad you stuck around, good luck with the race car. Did you ever think of starting, more low budget - like carts. A lot cheaper, similar ride and you can tow the trailer behind a mini.

Congrats Sean.. Good luck building your race car matey!

what colour are the front seats?

the front seats are perfect beige seats, no rips or tears, that i know of, back seat upper has tears in it but lower part is good, also have door card and stuff, all beige, i dont need em, cos no need for plush stuff in a racer, i was thinking of karting but me weighing as much as most of the blokes on here wouldnt be able to get round quick enough to be competitive

You and the kart have to come to a certain weight. That means you race everyone at the same weight.

As i said before , if you want to race you NEED to get into Karting. he only way you will become a pro driver is to either pay your own way or go thru KARTING as it is the only place people will see you enough to want to sponsor you. Seriously if you want to have a real crack at racing professionally get into karting. Don't take this the wrong way either but if your as bi as you say you are, you need to start on losing weight and getting fit. Racing is not easy, i do weekend motorkhana's for fun and by the end of the day, i'm buggered and saw right across my upper body, and i am reasonably fit. All power to you meeni and i hope you get up and do well but you have to comit to it and stick to it to make it work. Good luck with it.

Cheers

go meeni, if u think u can do it then go for it. good luck and i hope u do well... but if u dont then HAHA... theres always karting!

Wasn't trying to make out you were, just the way your previous comment came across.
Yes scouts will go look at sprints for sure, but how until you mini is ready to start competing. Karts you can start today with hire Karts, (no not those crap things) hire one, even go do laps in a crap kart, good way to teach you control, lines ,braking, and track behaviour. Just trying to get you on your way buddy.

Cheers

Aaron
