Hi all, I am, as you can see, new here. Nevertheless, I hope to get some information, hints or other from you. I myself have been driving karts for several years. I have now become 39 and quite fat (115 kg). As a result I no longer fit into the seat (no joke). Since I am anyway, one of the worst kart drivers, I have always wondered if there are still inexpensive racing series. My idea is, e.g. old cars like a golf, polo etc. normal tires (sewer heating equipment in the interior is clear, like fire extinguishers, roll cage etc.) Alone the tires for the kart cost already the quantities, approx. 200 Euro. They hold then also approx. 2-4 hours pure driving time. Then you are scrap. Thus the question(s), there in the room NRW such events (no cross !), how expensive is the participation, which conditions are to be met, possibly contact with you possible to talk your experiences by PN or mail? Any Li nks or dates available? etc. I just want to participate to have fun with it. What would I give for it, to run once on the Nürburgring. It is important that it can really be afforded by any “normal mortal” too. For info tips etc. I would be very grateful to you. Gruss Wally

Which type of engine is better suited for use in golf 2 (mainly slalom)? 8V or 16V Although a 16V has more power as standard, an 8V should be able to turn up faster. How about the tuning possibilities? So what is possible and what does it cost? I heard that 16V tuning is too expensive and difficult… To the rear end: Have a 16V motor (MKB PL) including various tuning works. But don’t know if this is the ideal basis for a slalom motor, since f always when it comes to racing (whether slalom or circuit) only praises 8V engines… Thx P.S. I’m talking only about suction engines!
