        . He says he put $10,000 into it.

        $10K?  Ha, we drive BMW's, that barely gets us a suspension refresh.  I could say that and only get one VANOS side redone.

          Right? loL $10K probably includes the price of the car and the chrome trim upgrades

                    I piss myself for no reason sometimes. I usually don't laugh afterwards. it's quite embarrassing : /

                                That is awesome!!!  This is great work, make sure to use this sort of stuff on your resume in the future, employers would be very impressed.  Are those bronze bushings in the steering kingpin? What kind of top speed are you expecting from the vehicle? Does the driver wear a helmet?

                                  It's a multi-piece assembly, the inner shaft is steel, the top retainer is steel, the spacer is aluminum, the bushings are brass, and the sleeve part that the kingpin got welded too was steel.

                                  Top speed at this point will probably be about 30, but the gearing is all modular so swapping it out is a breeze. Yes, helmets are worn.

                                      Powered by a 126cc moped motor, that I have fuel injected.

                                      Using the scooter transmission.

                                      It's for shell Ecomarathon, a competition in Texas, for school.

                                      Mmm no ;)
