my bar stool! direct from the cummins powerstore!!

Should be a fun project and pretty simple. I can buy any parts off ebay but the local TSC has a few that Ill need (clutch, throttle cable.....) Ill be using a Renthal handle bar with TWIST throttle!! 2 or 3" miter cut stack, some aluminum diamond plate in good spots and go cart racing slicks, disk brake,

type in "barstool racer" on ebay and you'll see what Im talking about.

any suggestions... A helmet might be good but I know a few friends that I can borrow one from

I havent picked the motor up yet but they have a warehouse a hour or so from here in michigan so should be around 300 for the motor. they claim eventhough its a 4.5HP motor its got the same torque as a 6-7hp gasser which I believe. I emailed them on what type of direct injection they have to see weather I can mess with it or not.

yeah you gotta figure out how to turn the pump up, drop a big hole injector in it, decompress it and throw a S300 on it or a GT40/K31 twins set up....., should be pretty easy to find head studs for it.......

haha heck yeah! Ill take the twins off the green truck and put em on the bar stool!

Maybe ill mod it over next winter. I picked up a clutch, throttle cable and misc stuff today to get the project rolling. The stool they have shown is too short for me so Ill stretch the frame a few more inches and figure out a better frame setup so its not so weak looking
