TKM's don't fit assembled into a 300, I used to have to take the rear axle off mine :( Having loaded a shifter on and off a mk3 Astra a fair number of times and seeing the damage that did I'd not recommend it either, baby trailer?

My cars going to be much lower so it should be fairly easy to fit on. I do have a trailer, but i wanted something else to hand that would be able to get the kart to the track easily... But 50kgs isnt enough....

We managed to get mine in the boot, like so xD

Watercooled, so Rotax? I'm certain mine wouldn't go in even with the wheels off, but yeah, they are a pain! The TKM had the same track as Fake... :lol: :lol:

Bloody'ell thats wide :shock: That one in mine is wider than a TKM as it is...

And nope, its not a moped :lol: Rotax's are rubbish compared to this thing :twisted: 250cc 2 cylinder 4 stroke, same power as a max, twice the torque! Its immense fun to drive, shame you have to change the cambelt every 20hours, the oil and filter every 2 hours and its bloody electric start, so batteries... booo! :| lol

I love it :twisted:

Ok, so kart rack is off the cards :cry:

Mine wasn't a book TKM... the chassis was and the engine was an extreme, but the axle was something from ebay as it was cheap and had a rather shiny brake! Then it all went when the garage got broken into :( Your's looks awesome, I have karting envy atm!

I've spent all weekend marshalling at buckmore park's owner driver race meeting, so i've got it too :roll: haha, i got it out last night, put it all back together and checked it over, got a list of stuff to get before i can take it out again though :(

Ah man, i hate it when kit gets stolen, theiving pikeys need to be shot the amount they nick, i dont think they truely understand how much this stuff costs, they just knows its 'expensive' :evil:
